Calling Those Who Work F/T Besides Pampered Chef

[Sooner PC]

I work full time and started PC because I was left home alone. My husband and son hunt EVERY weeekend from Sept 1 until Christmas. I go to OU football games and that left me with ALOT of downtime OR I could go hunting. (the cabin doesn't have indoor plumbing so PC was the better option) I started PC to fill in the blank spots and it took off. I would like to have at elast 4 shows a month - but there have been months when I have 12-15. One week I had 5 shows in 6 days (I wouldn't recommend this) This summer - I have had 1 show a month but am trying to kick it off again in Sept.

My FT job allows me the flexibility to do some PC work there. I can make flyers and send emails. There is also a post office where I work and I can drop off packages at lunch and don't have to drive any place.

I would love to do PC full time. My husband has a lead on a job that would allow me to do it full time. Let's just hope it happens.

Hi all -

Well, I work F/T at a TV station as the production supervisor and I love my job. I also do some freelance work in that area of work. Pampered Chef is my job that's different...which is why I love it (along with all the free stuff). I've been a bit unmotivated lately to do PC and need to find a way to get back into it without being all stressed out. Now is the busiest time of year at my other job and I just got one more thing thrown on my plate which makes my time to do PC even less.

I usually do anywhere from 1-4 shows a month and have done as many as 8 (and I really liked that paycheck...lol). I'd like to do more so I can get all my bills paid off.

My dream goal is to start my own production school and have more time to do PC. I think my biggest problem is that I don't look at PC like it's a job and I should. Good luck to everyone who works F/T or P/T along with PC.

I am self-employed full time as a medical transcriptionist and I already work out of my home, but it's hard work and lately has been taking up 7 days a week. While I'm not doing as shows now as I want to, that's all me -- I just need to be more assertive with booking and talk it up more at my shows. I want to become a director in PC and make enough money to cut back on my transcription work by at least half. But I love being self-employed -- in fact, every time I toy with the idea of going back into the corporate world, my husband gently reminds me that I hate being told what to do and have no tolerance for office gossip and sniping. So I stay home and type all day. PC is actually a good balance for it, because it gets me out to meet people. Otherwise all I have to talk to is the dogs !!!

We have a TV station here, too! Let me know when you start your production company! My husband is always doing VO work!
