Consultants: Are You Full or Part Time? Do You Have Side Gigs?

[PChef_ang]

FT Mom here of 4, moving from hobby to part time. I made the decision after loooking through the paper and found a PT job 3 nights a week cleaning and realized that it was a crazy idea, working 3 nights a week and more than likely only getting paid $5-$7/ hour. Why in the world would I want to do that, when I easily average $100 a show!! So, I got on the phone the next day and started making calls.....so far so good!!!

I am a full time mom of 2, trying to work PC full time. I am currently trying to book 6-8 shows a month and working on recruiting which has been my biggest struggle.
I think about PC constantly! I love this job and want to see steady income. So why am I sitting at my computer? I should be making a list of people to call this afternoon. "I will get off my but and make those calls!!!""

LOL!

Hi, I'm Sheryl. I put Hobby, I haven't finished my first month yet. I am hoping it will turn into serious P/T. I think 4-5 shows per month.

I put hobby, but I am trying to step it up. I need to buckle down and start doing the things I dislike (i.e. making phone calls) more often so that I can bump it up. I am going to conference again this year (2nd time), and plan to get a lot more out of it than I did last year.

Same here. I work PT hours with PC...probably even less than PT hours...but I consider it my FT job...well, no...Mommy is my FT job...but PC is my paid job - LOL

Me too Carolyn!

I used to work FT as a teacher, but now that I have a baby I stay home with him and do PC FT.

Re: Ft/pt?I guess I am a want a be, a full time consultant. I love PC, I do not work another job but I feel I do as in helping to take care of my 9 young grandchildren alot. So there for, I am more of a hobby consultant. I am going to go to my first leadership and I think it will give me the boost I need to finally put everything into perspective and work this business the way I know it can be worked.

Re: Ft/pt?My main motivation for PC has always been money, more than the products and the travel. The thought of having my primary income not be a guaranteed salary scares me, so I have a full-tim PC empire only in my dreams.
