Hello everybody! I am a new person here to chefsuccess and heard lots of good things about this website while I was at Conference. So I decided to come join the fun! My name is Tammy and I have been in the business for 19 months and have enjoyed every minute of it. I decided after conference to quit my full time job and do Pampered Chef full time. So I am really nervous, but I know the good Lord is going to see me through. My husband Tim is all for it and since I have been back home from Conference, I have booked 10 showsfor August and September. I am looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Good job on the bookings and good luck - you'll find a lot of good information here and a few silly people. :rolleyes:

If you are doing what God has planned for you. He will bless you.
 
Welcome Tammy! and all I can say is WOW! what a boost Conference has given you. Good luck in doing your business full time! That is wonderful!
 
I found a really great prayer - I can't take credit for it but if you are doing on faith it might bring you some strength

Thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement. You know God always has a way to show us things and on my calendar today it says:
"Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 I just feel that this is His plan for me. You all are wonderful people! Have an awesome day. :)
