Is It Possible to Do PC Full-Time Alongside a Full-Time Job?

Click For Summary
Balancing a full-time job with a side business in direct sales can be challenging, particularly when aiming for a specific income level, such as $4,000 per month. Many individuals express concerns about time management, with some struggling to book and maintain a consistent schedule of shows due to cancellations. Effective host coaching is noted as a crucial factor in reducing cancellations and improving sales performance. Participants discuss strategies for cutting expenses to make transitioning to full-time direct sales more feasible, emphasizing the importance of budgeting and reducing discretionary spending. Many share personal experiences of achieving debt-free living through disciplined financial planning, referencing resources like Dave Ramsey's financial strategies.In terms of sales goals, there is a consensus that aiming for eight shows per month can be sufficient for maintaining a steady income and achieving growth without overwhelming oneself. Delegating responsibilities, such as sending invitations for shows, is suggested to improve booking rates and reduce cancellation risks. Overall, the dialogue highlights the importance of time management, financial literacy, and realistic goal-setting in the pursuit of a successful direct sales career alongside full-time employment.

Morning Meg! I was just deferring to them because I don't have a conference call capability and Morfia is way more efficient than I am.

It it's okay with Linda, maybe she could play the role of host and we could do it the evening of September 28th (if she and I haven't drank too much of Ann's wine!).

---just realized we've totally hijacked this thread---sorry!----

That would make it more entertaining than informative - LOL! We'd better set an alarm so we don't forget to call in too.

I don't know...I'd be willing to try! How does it work? Is it a conference call line that you use a code to log into??

that is a question for Kate! She set the calls up, so she would know....but I think if you can call the States, you shouldn't have a problem getting in on the calls.



Winnipeg! we have been doing Director calls in a conference type format since our NC. They are usually every other week and are really good for holding each other accountable. I hope you can join us!

That would be fantastic if I could join in! I hope it's accessible from Canada! I can call into the conference calls for the TeleClasses that are held in the US, so here's hoping!
 
So, Sept. 28th at 9pm Eastern?

Awww I have a show that night!! :( Oh well...maybe next time...if I can actually call in!
 
I can't do the 28th... it's my dad's 80th birthday.
 
Maybe Kate could record? The only reason I suggested the 28th is because I may be at Linda's that evening. I head out for Florida the morning of the 27th. She's such a sweetie; she's letting me stay-over that night. (Truth is, I've been wanting to see her kitchen ever since she posted a cake photo on CS last year and her cabinets were in the background...I'm a kitchen junkie!)

Otherwise, it can wait...I just wanted to make the offer. : )

Love it! We looked at the map last night and I plan to come down 81 so as to pass by Atlanta. Should I bring a bottle of New York wine to show our solidarity with Ann? :)

Thanks! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my kitchen :love0010: it's the reason we built this house.

Here's the view from behind my island. I love my house! One of these days I'll get it finished (I need a tile backsplash, mantle, pictures on my walls, curtains in the breakfast room, dinning room furniture.....the list goes on!)

I'm taking I-81 down thru VA...versus I-95. Will eventually get to I-75. :)

Beautiful home Linda. I know how you feel. I can't wait to finally live in mine! Only about a week longer. Yeah!
 
Aw Leggy, if you were coming I-95, we could do lunch! By taking I-81, you bypass me in Richmond...............how about I have a glass of wine in solidarity with you, Linda and Ann!


Linda, I am seriously drooling over that kitchen and the view! We have talked about remodeling our kitchen but so far, it is only talk!
 
Hey Meg, guess you're just going to have to come visit Orlando. :)
 
depending what the announcement for the trip is on November 3rd, you could have a whole house full of DCS'ers!
