Reasons  I Love My Usborne Business

  • There are no minimums! I don't have to worry about filling a quota, so I never have to order until my customers do.
  • The Hours are flexible! Because of reason #1, I can work when and how often I want to. I love being able to schedule around my family's activities!
  • I have extra cash on hand! I am able to contribute to my family's income without being locked into a 9-to-5 job. I can use this extra cash for monthly bills, preschool tuition, ballet lessons, vacations, savings, whatever! And, I can give myself a raise anytime I want: The more I work, the more I earn! Plus, I take my commission off the top, before Usborne gets its cut!
  • Usborne allows me to keep my priorities in line! I don't have to sacrifice my family time to receive income. Balance eliminates guilt.
  • I have built up an incredible home library for my family! We have a variety of wonderful books, and I never pay retail prices for any of them! My kids read often, because they are surrounded by interesting books and games provided by Usborne.
  • I am promoting products I love! I never feel guilty about asking someone to purchase products that will benefit their children. I'm not just making money; I'm encouraging literacy as well.
  • I don't have to maintain an inventory! I'm not storing other people's products until they buy them; I'm simply showing them what my family already uses each and every day!
  • I get to meet all kinds of interesting people! I've made lots of new friends, both on my team and at Usborne events like home shows, book fairs and booths.
  • I receive lots of awards and recognition! Usborne is generous with many “pats on the back”! Besides public recognition, I receive free books, charms and other prizes on a regular basis. I have lots of chances to win cash and exotic vacations!
  • I am my own boss, but have plenty of support! I choose when and how I work, but I also have an up-line of friends who care about my success. I receive personal training, and benefit from being part of a team.
A Home Business with Social Value!

Are you Settling??

When we’re younger, I find, we’re more apt to settle. We settle in relationships ("It’s better than being alone"). We settle for high-stress, low-satisfaction jobs ("It could be worse"). We settle for all kinds of things that later in life would be simply unacceptable. Now that I’m pushing 50, settling feels entirely, well, uninteresting.

Settling is not the same as compromise. Healthy relationships require a certain degree of compromise from both partners. And while I think you can get darned close, no job is perfect. There are times I’d rather curl up in the big chair in my living room and nap – or do just about anything else than hustle to meet some deadline. But life is all about trade-offs.

Settling is different. When you settle, you unwittingly or wittingly check your true needs, desires, feelings, and gifts at the door. By settling, you’re essentially telling yourself, "This is the best I can do." You don’t even try to get your needs met, or realize your true desires, or express your feelings, or bring your gifts into the world because you either don’t think a) it’s possible; or b) that you deserve to get what you want.

The "pathological optimist" in me is here to tell you that far more is possible than you think, and everyone, including you, deserves to go after what they want. Dr. Valerie Young

The classic 5% wealthy and 95% poor.
