Kelly Canzone knows first hand how to put the best face on a bad economy.
“A woman can’t afford to go out a buy a new suit or a new outfit or weekly therapy, but she can afford a $13 lipstick,” Canzone said.
She sells make-up for the Mary Kay cosmetic company – lots of makeup, CBS News correspondent Richard Schlesinger reports.
How does the economy look from where he stands?
“Wonderful. My husband and I joke sometimes that there’s a recession happening, but not in our house,” she said.
She was a full time psychotherapist making $60 an hour, when she decided to shrink her practice and grow this business. Start up cost was just $100 for her first supplies.
She now helps train other sales ladies.
Is she making much more money?
“I would say probably not quite double what I was making as a therapist, but probably about a third more,” she said.
