I just took on my 3rd stay at home job, and this recent one is the one that pays the bills. So needless to say, Pampered Chef is falling to a lower priority. I want to stay active, but can't put in the time I was before. Any ideas to keep active? (ie catalog shows, discounts etc...) Thanks!
 
How much do you need to pay the bills? You could take $400 the amount you are shooting for on a show. Figure out how many shows you would need to to each month to meet your income goal. You may find that PC can be the one that pays the bills. I work full-time outside of the home, 3 kids and their activities, and do PC 2 shows a week, sometimes 3. I budget out my time. Schedule in your time you spend on your jobs just like a work schedule. You may find there is more time there than you thought.
 
Hello, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now. Is there a reason why you decided that PC wasn't going well for you? I just quit my full time job and went full time with PC and it has been well worth my time. I am not here to bash you I just want to make sure you made the right decision. Just for an example I had 9 shows in Sept. and my commission was nearly $1400 for the month. And by the way I only have 1 recruit so no extra $ from her yet. If you really work hard on recruiting and doing 3-2-1 contacts, I bet you would definitely see a difference in your PC business. I just wanted to give you some encouragement on the PC side, because Pampered Chef does do us a lot good favors. If I were you maybe do 2 kitchen shows a month that way you can keep up with what is going on. Plus you can make an extra $200 if you really worked it. I wish you the best in your future. :) I just wanted to help spread a :) :) your way.
 
Try scheduling one or two mega shows a month.

I may have put that wrong. I am really excited about this new job I have. The new job is the one that is making good money. I don't NEED a job, I want a job, and to be able to make my own money. I chose PC originally (my 1st stay at home job) to meet people, get some great products and the income was just a bonus. I am not ready to stop selling, I just can't put it as priority. I want to keep active if possible. I enjoy it.
