10 Secrets to Success by Mary Kay NSD Carol Anton

I live by the rule “never take advice from someone you would not want to trade places with”.  I heard this many years ago and it has served me well.  I take advice from people in many different categories, some people I learned about finances or business; others guide me on love and marriage.  Of course, some people over lap and I am inspired and taught by them in many areas in my life.

This is business advice that any entrepreneur could learn from, and I am thankful to have great leaders and mentors like Carol to take advice from.
