We had a nice Easter with my partner Mo’s family yesterday in Glasgow
It’s always great to see all the nephews and
nieces ripping into those chocolate eggs! (And to rip into a couple ourselves of course)
But a couple of people couldn’t be there: One of her bothers in law Chris and her brother Mick.
Mick was working and his dad was telling me he is thinking of quitting. I wasn’t surprised when I heard why.
Mick works as a courier for a well known mail order company.
I was shocked when I found out how little these guys get paid per delivery.
It can be as little as £0.40
No wonder they have to work pretty long hours and often drive around like "blue arsed flies"!
But on top of that they need to pay for fuel and are held responsible for damage to the vehicles they use - even though they are shared by multiple drivers.
Mick is a great guy who does this job to look after his young daughter. I often say to him he should get into internet marketing
He’s convinced it would be too “techie” for him and that it would take too long to make any money.
Both of these are completely untrue when you have the right teachers, systems and tools
(SFM)
Maybe he’ll see sense when small parcel deliveries are all done by drone - which Amazon is working hard on right now
The good thing is - it’s never too late to get the skills. You just have to decide when the time is right
(the time is always right NOW by the way)
And go to the right place to get them - HERE
Cheers!
