Martha became rich and legendary.

She didn't become a supermodel because of her high face value.

But because,

She is good at housework!

Martha has a nickname, "Queen of Housekeeping", which is also her identity in Bankrupt Sisters. The business empire she started is beyond your imagination.

"Any morning, you can see someone wearing Martha's luxurious cotton pajamas, tasting the green tea in Martha's gift basket and watching Life in Martha Stewart broadcast by CBS. His or her shopping list also includes Martha's wooden coffee table ... "Nowadays, Martha's brand is everywhere. This is the" housekeeping kingdom "created by Martha Stewart, which has deeply influenced the life of the American middle class. Some even asserted that "almost everything you need for your dream home is made in Martha Stewart."

At the same time, she started a brand-new business model-"self-employment", because it seems that she is carrying billions of industries alone. She is the owner, operator and spokesperson of the company.

Starting from catering, building an American home life empire

Is it as magical as the overbearing chairman Wen?

In real life, there are really such awesome people!

So how was such a huge business empire established?

We have to start from the 1970s.

At that time, in the United States in the 1970s, inflation and unemployment were extremely serious, and many housewives had to go out to work in order to subsidize their families and were tired of coping with housework. Martha, who had just left Wall Street, saw business opportunities.

From 65438 to 0976, she and her friends jointly opened a restaurant, which provided telephone reservation service for women who had no time to do housework but needed to entertain guests. As long as a phone call, Martha will send someone to cook all kinds of delicious food as required. This kind of service was quickly welcomed by all kinds, and gradually, even the selection of tableware and the arrangement of dining table became Martha's business scope.

Three years later, Martha recorded the life of a housewife and published her first book, Gourmet Guest.

After that, she herself, together with Martha's Lifestyle, swept the United States. There was not a housewife in that era who had not read Martha's book.

1990, "Martha Stewart Life Multimedia Company" was established; She became the face of Kmart, a North American merchandise retailer. Martha founded Martha's Life magazine, which, like a fashion magazine, quickly led the life of mainstream middle-class families in America. This magazine not only won various publishing awards, but also brought rich advertising revenue to Martha's company.

1993, the TV program "Martha's Life" with Martha as producer and host was broadcast on CBS Life Channel. The program became more and more popular, from 30 minutes a week to 1 hour every day, and even the then first lady Hillary Clinton was a guest. At this point, Martha Stewart's main business has become a cross-media operation.

1999, the company went public successfully, with Martha accounting for 83% of the shares, and its value rose to1300 million USD overnight.

In 2000, after the rise of the Internet, Martha's media business expanded to the Internet, and her company also provided mail order for goods, which was the early e-commerce model. The world can't stop Martha. She has become the vane of American life.

At the height of his career, he was jailed.

No one's career can be smooth sailing,

So is Martha,

The biggest setback in her life came.

At the end of 200 1, 62-year-old Martha was involved in a judicial dispute because of a stock scandal, and was finally found guilty and served five months in a federal prison.

Just when everyone thought Martha and her business empire were going to fall, the legendary woman shocked the world again:

During her time in prison, she led her inmates to clean the prison spotless, offered yoga classes and gave them entrepreneurship training!

After she was released from prison, Martha returned strongly and published the book Martha's Law, which she wrote in prison.

Martha's company began to make a profit in 2006. In 20 12, she once again became the chairman of the company and once again became a "miracle" in the hearts of Americans!

It's like an open life, do you think it's strange?

But you must also understand

No one can succeed casually.

Martha's legendary career has actually been very hard.

The representative of the American dream has won a sky for himself with struggle.

Martha is a descendant of Polish immigrants. Her father is an alcoholic, and a family of eight lives in a small space for a long time. Young Martha has to take on family responsibilities in addition to her studies.

So, Martha began to try to be a model in high school. Because of her beautiful appearance and hard work, Martha quickly stood out from many models and gradually became famous in the circle. In addition to being selected as a model by Chanel, she was also named as "one of the top ten well-dressed female college students" by Glamour magazine at that time.

Martha when she was young is just like the queen now!

Perhaps because of this, their personal relationship is particularly good.

Then, she met Andy Stewart and married him. It was this marriage that led her to discover a life-changing hobby-doing housework.

Unlike other housewives, Martha is not constrained by marrying her husband and teaching her children to have children. She does housework very seriously.

From 1972, when she and her husband bought the old farmhouse, Martha learned to paint the house, repair furniture, grow fruits and vegetables, and so on. Gardening, cooking and decoration are all learned from scratch, and she does it herself. In the next few years, she mastered various skills such as dessert, home decoration and flower arrangement.

It can be said that this period laid the most solid foundation for her to start a business empire!

Why do American housewives regard Martha as an idol? Because she turned ordinary housework into a meaningful career in the eyes of others, she turned housework into a fashionable lifestyle!

So you see, it is not simple to do simple things well, and it is extraordinary to do ordinary things well!

And she has been studying, which is the most important factor for her extraordinary success.

Learn all kinds of housework from yourself, not afraid of being dirty and tired. Later, she studied publishing, TV programs and even cross-border Internet. She also keeps learning yoga and equestrian in her life, which sounds very enlightening.

At the same time, she always maintained the most optimistic attitude, even if she was imprisoned, she always remembered to smile.

The most special thing about Martha is that you can hardly find a picture of her not smiling. And her elegant temperament is also impressive.

What does that sentence mean? "When a woman is over 30 years old, all the books she has read, places she has been, things she has experienced and thoughts in her mind are written on her face."

Martha turned her life into a miracle. Her beautiful smile, elegant temperament and determined personality were all written into her temperament.

I hope Martha's story can tell you to do the simple things in life seriously when you find that you don't have enough love. It's never too late to have fun in simple things and then work hard.

Pay more attention to yourself and life, and life will give you more happiness.
