Just wondering if anyone knows of any directors and above who work FT (outside of PC) and if you have any contact info for them (website works well) I'd great appreciate it! If you no contact info, I do well as a detective to 'find them'. :D

I'm looking to touch base with those who work FT & are 'successful' upper level leaders in our company hoping to get some tips and tricks of the trade from them before I get that far so that I'm prepared and know what I'm getting myself into. I have no plans of quitting my job now or in the forseeable future so I really want to ensure I don't overwhelm myself.

Thanks for any insight!
 
Hi MelissaI'm a director in the UK and work full time. Happy to give you any info that might be of use but obviously its not exactly the same as in the US.
Email me [email protected] and if you don't get a reply in a couple of days then nudge me! Kirsty
 
Hi Melissa,
In just a few days, I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary with PC! I have worked full time the entire time and have no plans to stop either one. I have been a Director since 2004 or 2005 and have someone close to promoting to a director under me with in the next few months so I will be an AD.
You may email me at [email protected] with any questions and as Kristy says nudge me if I don't get right back as well!

Hey Melissa I am an AD who works full time as a teacher. I just celebrated my 2nd anniversary with PC. I have no intentions of quitting my FT job any time soon, either.
Feel free to send me a pm any time you want to chat. :)

I am bowing to you! :love: The thoughts of being an AD that fast just blows my mind away but motivates me to know it can be done! Ok first I need to get one more recruit to have a recruit so I can promote to the D before I get to work on the AD title. I don't want to put the cart before the horse. Baby steps... :balloon:

It can totally be done. Once I realized the only thing holding me back was me, I went full throttle. I also have an unbelievable upline... my director is an SED, so I had a LOT of support. :) With what you have already accomplished you are well on your way girl!!
 
Wow! You all inspire me! I have been with PC for 12 months and have yet to hit that groove. I work FT and have a 14 month old daughter. I need motivation!

If you can, go to National Conference. There's nothing quite as amazing and motivational as NC!
