Terri has been married to her husband Patrick for over 36 years. She has 2 children – Nick and Adam. Nick is working to improve AI safety and regulation and helped create Giving What We Can (an organization that has raised over $1 Billion in donations and pledges to aid developing countries). Adam is working with adolescents struggling with anxiety and depression and is working toward his Masters degree to become a therapist.
Her greatest joys and success are centered in her family.
Terri joined Mary Kay Cosmetics in 1993 with the intent of creating a flexible, part-time income stream while completing a law degree. She surprised her friends and family in 1994 when she became a Sales Director & traded in her pursuit of patent law and her former chemical engineering career for the unparalleled work/life balance Mary Kay offers.
Terri thrives on the pursuit of excellence in all that she does. She is naturally intuitive and spiritual and values responsibility and high ethics in herself and others. She is very passionate about the things closest to her heart.
“I love helping women find their passion and visualize & realize their dreams. If I won the lottery tomorrow I would still be doing what I do!”
Terri has earned the use of 17 FREE Mary Kay cars, including 14 pink Cadillacs.
“My Mary Kay income has given me and my family more choices in how we live our lives. Two of those choices most close to my heart are paying for my sons’ college educations and paying off the mortgage on our family’s dream home when my husband was unemployed.”
Terri has been a member of the prestigious Triple Star Achievement Court recognizing outstanding achievement in unit sales, personal sales and recruiting nine times!
She has led her Bold Achievers unit to Mary Kay’s Circles of Achievement and Excellence for over 18 years and as a result has been treated to 5 star, luxury trips to Sweden, Germany, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Hawaii, France, Monaco, Scotland and Argentina courtesy of Mary Kay.
“Mary Kay has been a vehicle for me and my family to fulfill so many dreams! Now I am passionate about inspiring women to use their Mary Kay careers to reawaken their ‘little girl’ dreams and to uncover & live in their unique strengths.
Mary Kay Ash said, ‘If today one more woman discovers how truly great she is, then for me it has been a great day.’ This philosophy is central to my approach to business.
I love supporting women in creating the life of their dreams; from earning extra spending cash for their families to replacing their full-time jobs with a career that offers no glass ceiling on income and advancement as well as total freedom & flexibility.” – Terri Beckstead
