Unemployed and determined to write a book that would help other women in business, she instead developed her own ideal business plan, which she would later put into action.
The result was Mary Kay Cosmetics, a successful, privately-owned company. Pink became the color of Mary Kay after the businesswoman decided at some point to paint a pink Cadillac. The action earned the company so much publicity the Ash later decided that top-earning employees also deserved a nice pink car each. Pink then, quickly became the color of success.
The property is up for sale in Dallas, Texas. Although a single family home, it boasts eight baths, seven fireplaces, and six bedrooms in addition to a full size pool and a 320 square foot mansion.
Mary Kay earned a reputable image by following the "Golden Rule" within her company, which entailed "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." She was also supportive of women in business and even her religion also pushing the motto, "God first, family second, career third."
