I do, as do most (but not all) the consultants and directors I know. Even our AD works full time. That's the beauty of the business, you work it around your schedule.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand the challenge of balancing a full-time job and running a business. I have found that it takes a lot of dedication and time management, but it is definitely possible to make it work.One tip I would suggest is to utilize your evenings and weekends for your Pampered Chef business. This may mean sacrificing some free time, but it will pay off in the long run. Also, don't be afraid to delegate tasks and ask for help from friends and family. They can assist with hosting parties or even helping with packaging and delivering orders.I have also found that using technology, such as social media and online ordering, can help save time and make your business more efficient. This way, you can still reach customers and make sales without having to physically be there.Overall, it takes determination and organization, but it is definitely possible to successfully balance a full-time job and a Pampered Chef business. I would be happy to share more tips and advice with you and your interested friend. Best of luck!
