Can I Transition to Full-Time with Pampered Chef Despite Personal Challenges?

[chefhorton]

I work full-time at a University and have plans on being full-time with PC in about 3 years.
Well, last week I was informed that some changes in the administration here could result in my position being phased out within the next year. I have another job offer, but I am really hesitant to take it because I am working so hard to get out of working full-time for someone else. So it appears that I need to get everything together in about a year for this.
I have 3 recruits right now, one that is signing this week and another that is signing next week using kit credit. So I am planning on walking as a director at Conference this year. My May looks great! I have 6 shows and one catalog show this month. I need to make all of my months like this, at the very least.
My main concerns are that I am building a house right now, my little boy just had surgery and we have A LOT of medical bills right now, on top of everything else life has to offer that costs $$$.
Has anyone else ever been through this? I am welcoming any and all suggestions, ideas and words of encouragement.
Thanks in advance!
Horton

I've got no advice, only best wishes.

I also hope your little guy is recovering well.

Make a plan and do it! Many others have doen it before you. Set high goals and tell others what they are, then sit down and map out what you will do.

Use the momentum of promoting and conference to catapult your business. Oh, and, make your recruits recruiters!

Talk to your director about making a plan! Recruiting is definitely a great way to go... it will help with your income. My AD's commission check last December was $7,000! You can do it! Just break it down into small, manageable pieces!
