I have never posted here but have read lots of your messages and you seen to give pretty sound suggestions. I have a woman who approached me about starting her own business with PC. She is confined to a wheelchair. Obviously I was encouraging to her and would love to have her onmy team , but I was wonderinig if any one else has any exerience with or knows any consulatants with disabilites and how they work around them or incorporate them depending on how you look at it. I would love to be able to give her some ideas of how this could work for her. She does not drive. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
 
I don't know, but I saw several consultants in wheelchairs at Notional Conference! It can be done.
 
I have a disability. Chances are if she approached you she has already thought of the challenges she might encounter and has either come up with a solution or figure it out somehow.

ETA: I'm not in a wheelchair but some of the things I do are: have my mom or husband come with me and carry my stuff and help me set up/clean up, I no longer do a cooking demo (it got to be too stressful for me). I'm sure your recruit will do fine and find ways to adapt.

One of the top achievers that went across the stage during wave 2 was confined to a wheelchair. Her husband helped her with her shows. Wheelchairs don't slow some people down. I have a lot of respect for them.

I have learned so much from Kacey and watching her work... she truly is an inspiration to me and is someone we all could learn so much from! I think that she deserves to go so far in this business because she works so hard everyday and is such a special person! And she has director written all over her!;)

Thank you so much for gettng back to me. I appreciate those responses. I figured that doing an actual cooking demo would be out, but I'm sure she can modify to what works for her. I am excited because she is really excited about starting up. Thanks again:)

That's half the battle right there - so if she is excited, run with it. She will find a way to make it work for her if she wants it! Good Luck! And Congratulations! I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be the star of your team!
