Yes but I'm in the grey area of do I retire or try and hold on... with catalog shows that fall in my lap? I've been teetering for quite some time now and especially now with getting a new job. Life is soo busy, with 2 PT jobs, raising kids, being their taxiing and life in general. 
Some days I ask why I hold on? Yesterday I celebrated my 5th anniversary with PC, and my MOJO is not there anymore. 
I will reconsider come november

Hey Heather - I just celebrated 5 years in August - I know what you mean about the mojo. I'm still a senior consultant - my recruit Colleen totally rocks! She's incredibly consistent which is great and a good person as well. She's become a good friend. I haven't recruited anyone else as of yet - if I could clone Colleen I'd be a happy camper. Lately most of my shows have been very few on attendance so it's been hard getting out in front of enough people. Luckily I have 2 cooking and 1 catalog show in October and 2 cooking and 3 vendor events in November. So I'm still working my business!Good luck with your new job and your PC biz

Good for you Gina!
Since the economy took a DUMP, my biz has struggled tremendously. I never had to "Work my biz", all shows just booked themselves. So now I have no desire to try and "work it~" especially with my current life status.
I may have 2 shows in Nov. but that's about it.
My career may be up by year end? Will see?

Can a Catalog Show Save My Career Stats from Inactive Status?
Yes, hosting a Catalog Show can help reactivate your career stats. By generating sales through the catalog, you can meet the necessary sales requirements to maintain your active status.
How does a Catalog Show work?
