Terri has been married to her husband Patrick for 38 years. She has 2 children – Nick and Adam. Nick is CEO and founder of Secure AI Project 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 a passionate mental health therapist and entrepreneur dedicated to helping his clients build happier, more fulfilling lives.
Her greatest joys and success are centered in her family.
Terri joined Mary Kay Cosmetics with the intent of creating a flexible, part-time income stream while completing a law degree. She surprised her friends and family when she 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 18 FREE Mary Kay cars, including 15 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 ten times!
She has led her Bold Achievers unit to Mary Kay’s Circles of Achievement and Excellence for over 25 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
