My Goals Are Set and I'm Determined to Achieve Them!

I just felt like posting this for extra accountablility for myself. Some of you may remember me mentioning that I have figured out that wedding or bridal consultant is what I want to do with my life. Also as I'm earning my certification and gaining experience with friends and families weddings until I'm comfortable reaching out to strangers for business, that I want to turn PC into my main FT income, since it is much more flexible to start that business around.

Anyway I figured out how much I would need to sell a month with PC if I cut down to 20 hours a week and to PT at my day job. I figured to make the same amount I make working here full time, I would need to sell around $5000 a month.

I've used a conservative number of $500 show avg, mine is a bit higher, which works out to 10 cooking shows a month. I'm not factoring in catalog shows or extras because I'm still going to want the extra since this will no longer be my extra. I also want to have an active team under me as well which will obviously help with the extras.

I've given myself until September to have a consistent enough show schedule that I can be comfortable looking for a PT position at a branch I'd like to work in.

How I intend to achieve this is through many aspects. I will learn to love the phone and instead of fear it. I will consider how unhappy I am at my current day job position. (the pt position I want will be much less stressful) I will make sure I ask every single guests at all my shows first if they are interested in the oppurtunity, then hosting, then if I can contact them with future specials if hosting isn't for them. I will also start collecting more emails and sending a newsletter. I will do as many booths as I can manage and follow up right away with any leads. I will improve my host coaching and find more recruits from hosts. I can do this and I will do this.

Just wanted to have my goals out there as much as possible. I've already told my director and we started our weekly coaching calls again so that helps with my accountability!

Hi there! It's great to see that you have a clear goal in mind and are taking steps to make it happen. Becoming a wedding or bridal consultant sounds like a fantastic opportunity and I'm sure you will do great in that field. It's also great to hear that you are using your Pampered Chef business to support your ultimate goal.I love how you have broken down the numbers and have a plan in place to reach your desired income. It's also smart to continue to pursue extra income through catalog shows and building a team, as that will not only bring in extra income, but also help you reach more potential customers and hosts.I'm glad to hear that you are working on overcoming your fear of the phone and are utilizing different strategies to grow your business. It sounds like you have a solid plan in place and I have no doubt that you will achieve your goals by September. Keep up the great work and don't forget to celebrate your successes along the way! You've got this!
