Well, they ticked me off one time too many so on the spur of the moment, I resigned last week and this Friday will be my last day! I am SO psyched to go full time with my Pampered Chef business - something I've wanted to do for a long!!! Not exactly the timeframe I planned but I see God's hand in it, so I'm going to go with the flow.

I'm planning to get on the phone, on facebook and do some biz pampering too and I'm confident that I can eventually replace my other job income.

That said, I still get little frissions of fear up my spine about jumping in like this, so if anyone has any words of encouragement or wisdom or ideas, please feel free to share! Have a blessed week and an awesome fall selling season and thanks in advance!
 
The four-word letter of resignation?Good for you!
 
just like any other job... DO IT!! pick up the phone, talk to people. put an honest effort into working your business every day.
Do not be afraid to ask for help from your upline or from us here. You are in business for yourself but not by yourself.
Set yourself a goal... and tell someone or print it on a paper and post it where you will see it at least 10 times a day. you can do it!!
