Pink Cadillacs have since become an unmistakable symbol of the Mary Kay work-ethic.<\/p>\n<p>Ash<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">\u2019<\/span>s approach to her startup\u00a0was in direct contrast to her personal experience in the traditional workplace where she frequently saw less-deserving people promoted above her. The injustice of the typical corporate world of her time drove her to start her own cosmetic company at age 45.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Kay Inc. has been on the lists of 100 best companies to work for as well as one of the best ten companies for women to work. Here are a few of the things that Mary Kay said that we think will inspire your startup success:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018<\/span>Make me feel important.\u2019 Never forget this message when working with people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn\u2019t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn\u2019t know it so it goes on flying anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA company is only as good as the people it keeps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re aiming, you don\u2019t have a goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who are blessed with the most talent don\u2019t necessarily outperform everyone else. It\u2019s the people with follow-through who excel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Inc.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many companies do you think of when you see a pink Cadillac?
