We love what we Do!

As a demonstrator with a small business, we are often asked to share our "Why" ~ simply put it's the reason that we chose this particular business, and eventually what made us stay. 

While we all have different reasons for taking that leap, and signing on the dotted line.  Perhaps there was a bill to pay, or it was a means to get out and meet some new people in the community ~ no two demonstrators give exactly the same answer.  We are no exception. 

It is also possible that the reason you stay changes from day to day, or week to week ~ we are all changing, growing and moving forward daily. 

For me the switch from doing this for us, and sharing it with others was something that kind of snuck up on me, but more and more I find that with this, and my other business that one of the best perks of the "job" is the friends that we've made along the way and the people we get to meet.  

This week we had a team building and networking get together in Ottawa put on by some of the Leaders in our area.  We were all asked to wear either red or pink, and we came out for the "Romancing Our Business" event.

Have you been considering a change? Ask us about joining our team!  

One of the best perks of being a demonstrator with Epicure is getting to spend time with other like-minded individuals. To learn from, to spend time with and to get to know.  A picture is worth 1000 words, so I'll let this photo do the rest of the talking ~ We Love what we do!!
