My Favourite Quote

Posted by ninapchef in Untagged 

Morning,

I'll be honest and say I had a major blow to my business this week and one totally out of my control and so therefore it's been VERY frustrating.   However, I've found my favourite old quote and it helps, so I thought I'd share it with you all and spread some good vibes with a new recipe for you all too.

The one thing in the world

Hello from Mallorca

Posted by ninapchef in Untagged 

I have such fun going out and meeting people and seeing in people's houses too, that my job could never really be described as boring even after having presented over 580 shows. We have great incentives too, like the 5 star incentive trip each year and new products and logo items to collect and as you know I'm partial to the diamonds. However what makes our business particularly enjoyable

When I ask at my shows who already has a piece of stoneware and one of the guests says 'yes',  I know I am onto a winner and my job is half done.  Us Brits may not shout out 'I got it, I love it' as they tend to do in the States but I know my job is going to be easy nonetheless.   

I then ask 'what do you cook in your stone?'
