I really, really love my job. How many people can actually say that these days? I decide when and where I work and who I want to work with. This morning I have had a lie in and now i am up and refreshed and ready to go!!! Just deciding which part of the business to work first. I have so many choices. I can work with schools organising book fairs and ready steady reads (sponsored reads) I can go and see individual customers and advise them on the suitability of book choices and sit and drink coffee while they look at books or catalogues ( a far cry from my teaching days!) I can help charities with fundraising via my business. I am taking part in the community book pledge where local businesses donate books to local schools. I can also help people to grow their own Usborne businesses. It costs just £19 to become an Usborne organiser and then the more you put in, the more you get out.
There is a lot of support and help along the way and many people run their Usborne business alongside another job as I did initially. I was a supply teacher and mixed and matched my teaching and my “Usborneing”!! Finally I made the jump to full time Usborne and have never looked back. Whilst I enjoyed many of my years teaching, Usborne gives me the complete freedom to do what I want when I want and I have had so much fun. In my opinion, they are the best company with which to be involved. They give us all the tools to build our businesses and they reward us well with great incentives. It is less than a month now until 43 Usborne organisers jet off to join a five day cruise stopping at Mexico and Miami!! Usborne treat us so well. Some of us are also going on a day trip to Paris in March and are being treated to a meal up the EIffel Tower and a trip down the Seine! We have just had the fun of the Gala awards and the conference and many of us have been tempted to get very busy by the prospect of a trip on the Orient Express in the Autumn. What I love about my job is that I can make a difference to families lives. I can help to grow readers (Usborne’s new Grow readers initiative) and I can also help families during the credit crunch by helping anyone over 18 to earn extra by becoming an Usborne organiser. Why not come and join my Usborne family? or benefit from being an Usborne customer. Let me look after all your Usborne needs
