BUSINESS INVESTMENT MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITY!  Beautycounter is on mission to disrupt the beauty and personal care industry – we are committed to getting safer products into the hands of everyone by demanding better regulation and ingredient selection. We are coming up on our 4-year anniversary as a company, and to celebrate that, we are doing it up big in social activism to effect change. Please stay connected with me on March 4th as we march forth together to be advocates for safer and cleaner products for all. If you are passionate about safer beauty and healthy living, and have also been dreaming of launching your own successful business, I want to invite you to join the movement of Beautycounter. To celebrate our march forth in activism and advocacy – and our demands for change on Capital Hill, I am doing something I’ve never done before: I am investing into four passionate, driven women who want to make a difference with their voice and with their business efforts. This isn’t going to be a simple mentorship, these four women will get consulting support from me weekly for four months so that they become real movers and shakers (and create a real income) in this space of education and safer products. The four selected will receive over $2400 in coaching from me, for free, but, there’s a catch, there’s an application process for this business opportunity. Because of the level of investment I will be making into these four go-getters and world-changers, I need to know that you are committed too. You must have at least four hours per week that you can commit to building a business and to being mentored and you must be absolutely on fire about making positive change in the world around you.

We have to slow down and deal with what is troubling us, so that we can enjoy the simple joy of being happy and at peace with ourselves. -Jess C. Scott Experience is not what happens to you--it's how you interpret what happens to you. -Aldous Huxley If we lack emotional intelligence, whenever stress rises the human brain switches to autopilot and has an inherent tendency to do more of the same, only harder.  Which, more often than not, is precisely the wrong approach in today's world. -Robert K. Cooper Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business. -Norman Vincent Peale Emotional intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think,
