I've been a hobbyist (okay I've been barely getting by) with my Pampered Chef Business for two years now. I moved two times in two years and worked full time so my PC business kept being put last on the priority list. Now I'm back in school for what is considered full time - I am finishing up my Bachelors degree and since I just finished the first quarter I'll be done in 15 months. (this school does quarters not semesters)My degree will be a BS in Leadership and I'll have "labs" where I'll have a Leadership Challenge that I'll get 2 credits for, along with other labs that I want to tie into my PC business. (I'm not a manager of any kind in my day job)I go to school every Thursday night from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and every OTHER Saturday from 8:30am to 2:00pm, although this is a hybrid course and part of it is online. I found the first quarter's workload to be light enough-I could easily get my homework done in about 4-5 hours a week- so that I'm pretty sure I can get 3 cooking shows a month in. I'd also like to try to get 1-2 catalog shows in each month too.... My Leadership class, in one of the workshops where I had to state my challenge and I used my PC business, is supportive, but asked if that is realistic with my job and school - they don't know the business well and look at it as one of the MLMs where you MUST RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT!While part of my challenge for myself will be to promote to director, my question here (because you all know the business) is Do you think this is manageable?I really want to try to focus this year and make it a business and not just a hobby.Thoughts? Thanks!oh yeah - and one of my classmates (who is in the same situation as I am) showed an interest in becoming a consultant, but we are both hesitating, I don't want to get her discouraged so I wanted to make sure it was doable. After this first quarter I feel confident it is, but wanted other thoughts. Thanks.
