It's My Job!

Driving across I-80, having bid my husband goodbye for the evening, I reflected upon the blessings in my life.  One of the biggest as of late?  I love my job!

I was driving down the interstate to attend a Discovery Toys meeting.  We ate, we laughed, we played with toys . . . did I mention this was a meeting?

That got me thinking.  What are those blessings that come with my job as an independent consultant?
  • I am my own boss!  I set my hours around my family and never have to miss a moment.  (I also get to enjoy the tax benefits of self-employment.)
  • My job includes the following: toys & games, girls' nights, laughter, food, learning and educating, recognition, and the list goes on and on!
  •  I work 1-4 hours in any given day (and less if I'm just plain busy!).  Most of that time is directly from my home, and when it's not, I'm able to make $30+ per hour.
  • I have met sooo many new friends from all walks of life that I never would have met apart from Discovery Toys.
  • Meetings and training days feel more like "hanging out with my girlfriends" days, yet I still come home feeling confident that I can help families through the knowledge I've gained.
  • I get to be a stay-at-home mom while contributing to my family's financial well-being. 
  • I know that my children have the best of the best when it comes to their toys and games.  Without my even realizing that he wasn't just playing around, my two-year-old learned how to recognize and match shapes and colors! 
 Wow, I could just go on about these blessings.  Maybe I'll continue the list another day!

What would you enjoy about being your own boss?  About knowing you could help families grow and learn together?  I am looking to expand, and would love to talk to you about becoming a part of the Discovery Toys team!  Will you consider the blessings you could receive as well?!?
