"An inspirational tale of hard work and success against the odds
In 1979, Gillian Hennessy-Ortega came to the United States with nothing but $20 in her pocket and a desire to succeed. In less than twelve years, she realized that dream, becoming a National Sales Director of one of America's best-known and most iconic businesses, Mary Kay.
A story of immigrant aspiration and the success that comes with hard work-and a story of the American Dream fulfilled-this inspirational business tale begins with Hennessy-Ortega's first dramatic sighting of the Statue of Liberty and her recognition of the possibilities now open to her in her new country. She traces the arc of her career from nobody to somebody, from low-level salesperson to National Sales Director, and from helpless immigrant to empowered businesswoman. Along the way, she recalls what she learned from those women who inspired her during her journey-her mother, her childhood nanny, and Mary Kay Ash herself. It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish! imparts timeless lessons on perseverance and hard work-and will resonate in the hearts of immigrants, businesspeople, and everyone with a dream to fulfill.
