RECAP OF WEEKS 8 & 9

🀩

Weeks 8 and 9 flew by. They brought us a new experiences, new stories, and plenty of unexpected moments. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Last week, Eddie added another bookmobile to the team, making the Arkansas roads a little more familiar for all of us. πŸš—

Emil met an awesome family and their pet ferret, Fredka, but he also had to deal with a flat tire and switch it for the spare. Just another normal day in the bookfield. πŸ˜„

Jakub had an even more unexpected road experience when a goat jumped onto his car. Definitely not something you see every day! 🐐

Over the weekend, we spent our Sunday giving back by cleaning up and picking up trash in a park in Jonesboro. We wrapped up the week together by the lake in Jonesboro, sharing stories and enjoying another Sunday as a team.

A big thank you to our families and girlfriends back home for always supporting us, and to all the families in Arkansas for their kindness, hospitality, and trust. ❀️

RECAP OF WEEK 7

This week was a real ride, especially after getting some extra rest from the online meeting last week. We came back refreshed, recharged, and ready to make the most of every single day.

We got to try baseball with a family from Benton, which was a super cool experience and another reminder that the people we meet here make this summer special.

Across the week, each of us met a lot of families who truly care about giving their kids a quality education.πŸ“š

Ondro also got hit with another flat tire, which definitely added a bit more chaos to the week. At this point, it’s becoming just another part of the journey, and he handled it like a pro. πŸš—

After Sunday meeting in Searcy, we played football together and had a great time just hanging out as a team. Right after that, Jakub moved from Little Rock to Judsonia to live with Ondro and Michal, so the whole crew is now even more together. ⚽

Thank you as always to our families and girlfriends for the support, and to all the families in Arkansas for their hospitality and trust. ❀️

RECAP OF WEEK 6

Another week is behind us, and this summer keeps bringing new experiences, new stories, and new challenges. We keep learning a lot every day and making the most of our time here in Arkansas. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Otto and Jakub kicked off work in Benton, where they met a bunch of awesome families and made some great connections.

Michal got to experience holding a little baby duck for the first time, which was definitely one of the more wholesome moments of the week. 🐣

Meanwhile, Sunday was a bit different with an online meeting, which gave us more time to spend with our host families and enjoy the day together.

Ondro helped out around the host family’s house in Searcy, while Otto and Jakub did the same in Little Rock. At the same time, Emil, Marek, and Eddie went for a workout to pump those biceps and then joined their host family for lunch, to eat what they burned in the gym!😁

Thank you as always to our families and girlfriends for the support, and to all the host families in Arkansas for their kindness, hospitality, and trust. ❀️

RECAP OF WEEK 5 πŸ€©

Another week is behind us and with each passing day we keep getting more used to life here in Arkansas. The habits are becoming routine, the days are moving faster, and we’re still collecting new stories and experiences every week. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ


This week Otto met Zuzana, an American girl who spent 13 years living in Slovakia. It was really cool to hear her perspective and to connect over such a unique experience. Moments like that make this summer even more special.
Ondrej had one of those days you don’t forget fast. He got not one, but two flat tyres in the same day, turning a normal workday into a real test of patience and problem-solving.
Jakub also got to visit Marek Novak while he was working in the countryside, and that visit turned into a pretty wild story when a very energetic dog forced him to jump into the car through the window. Definitely one of those moments we won’t forget any time soon. πŸ˜„


We wrapped up the week in Searcy where we talked about the week, relaxed a bit, and then headed to the cinema to watch Toy Story 5. 🎬 It was a great way to finish another busy week together.


Thank you as always to our families and girlfriends for the support, and to all the families in Arkansas for their hospitality and trust. ❀️

RECAP OF WEEK 4 IN THE USA

🀩

We’ve built our habits and we’re sticking to them, which means we’re getting better experiences every week and making the most of our time here in the USA. We’re learning, exploring, and collecting memories that will stay with us for a long time. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

During the week, Eddie got an unforgettable offer from a very kind man who suggested he would pay for books with chickens. Do you think he agreed?πŸ”

Michal will be driving around in his new Chevy Malibu, which will make traveling from family to family much easier.

On Saturday we worked during the day and after work we went to watch the fireworks and enjoy the celebrations for Independence Day πŸŽ†. It was the perfect way to end the holiday.

On Sunday we met in Searcy, where we shared stories from the whole week and had a lot of laughs together. After the meeting, the group around Ondrej went to cook proper Slovak haluΕ‘ky for their host family as a sign of gratitude, while the rest of us went to check out Harding University in Searcy, which looked really amazing.

Thank you as always to our families and girlfriends for the support, and to all the host families in Arkansas for their hospitality and trust.❀️

WEEK 3 is DONE!

Thanks to the fact that we stayed focused on hitting the standards during the first weeks, this week we were able to put our energy into getting customers and working toward the dedication award. At the same time, we never forget that attitude rules and the schedule is king. πŸ’ͺ
During the week we met many great families. Emil got to experience presenting books with a dog nearby 🐢, Eddie got to see what it feels like to show up in full uniform, and Michal got his turn driving the Ford Mustang πŸš—. These kinds of moments are what make memories for life.
We also welcomed the last member of our team and the only bookgirl of this summer, Natalia, who already managed to get her first sitdowns! πŸ”₯ We’re excited to have her with us.
Another great addition to the team was our bookmobile, which will help us reach even more families in the hills of Little Rock. πŸš™
As always, we ended the week in Searcy, where we reviewed the week, received our green shirts and pony socks for our Week 2 work, and celebrated with some ice cream🍦.
Thank you to our families at home and our girlfriends for the constant support, and to all the families in Arkansas for their hospitality and trust. β€οΈπŸ™

RECAP OF WEEK 2 IN THE FIELD

🀩

Another week in the bookfield is behind us – and slowly but surely, we are turning into professional problem-solvers. πŸ’ͺ The doors are getting more familiar and the team is getting stronger every single day.

This week we also welcomed our OL Marek Novak, who arrived in style and wasted no time – the whole town of Carlisle already knows who he is. πŸ˜„And yes, arriving in style also meant heading straight to the car service – true bookfield spirit. πŸ”§

A special shoutout goes to Otto, who proved that nothing stops a real bookfield mindset. πŸ™Œ Despite a broken arm and a surgery, he worked a full Saturday after Friday’s follow day. That kind of grit is what this program is all about.

At our Sunday meeting some of us received their success t-shirts for units sold πŸ‘•πŸ† – a well earned recognition. We also had a speech from experienced salesman Michal Plochan – always great to hear from someone who has been through it all. 🎀

We wrapped up the week in Searcy where we got to experience some proper American fun at the skate rink. πŸ›Ό

Thank you to our families and girlfriends back home for the constant support ❀️, and to every family here in Arkansas for opening their door and trusting us. πŸ™

RECAP OF OUR FIRST WEEKS OF WORK

🀩

Week Zero

Started a bit wild – because of a complication with renting a car we had an unexpected overnight stay in Memphis πŸ˜…, but as a team we like to say that we eat problems for breakfast.

It was also the first time our first years really tried working in the field instead of just hearing about it in trainings. On Sunday we met in Searcy in the boarding room where we talked through our priorities and focuses for the first week on the doors.

Week One

It was our first full week of door-to-door work here in Arkansas. Most of the first years got to follow their managers – Ondrej, Emil, and Martin – and see what a professional day looks like from morning till evening.

Some of us got our very first customers πŸŽ‰, but the main focus is still on building the right habits and work ethic, not just chasing numbers.

We wrapped up the week together again in Searcy, this time outside, sharing our wins, lessons, and funny stories from the first full week.

We also celebrated Eddie’s birthday πŸŽ‚ and surprised him with some small gifts from the families we had the chance to meet.

We want to thank our families at home and our girlfriends for their support ❀️, and the families here in Arkansas for their hospitality and trust this first week. πŸ™

Texbooks_week1

3 Texas book slingers finishing their first week! Coming from saleschool with a lot of positive energy and knowledge, we were already able to use in our first week! Cool stories? There’s bunch of em! First one is that everyone loves dogs and dogs loves us so much that they wanted to play, and we got away from lil bites. How cool is that! Three of us almost at the same day!
Continue with nice 105Β°F converted to around 40Β°C, the temperature when you can cook an egg on the hood of the car. Hundreds of bottles in car, hundreds of liters drank and thousands of sweat drops. That’s what it takes to survive in Texas. Although Texas people are very chill and relaxed, going with the flow of the weather.
Week one day one just getting started, building the right habits and work ethics and ready to rock this summer!
