How many of you do Pampered Chef full time? How long have you been doing it full time.
I am really considering working my business full time. I am really getting to the point where its hard to go into work everyday. I have to work holidays and weekends and its just not what I want in life. So if you can give me any encouraging words I would appreciate it. Thanks
 
I can't reply right now as I need to go make dinner, but I will in a little bit, the people that I know that are such a great example are legacy46, dannyzmom, morfia and I know there are a few more I'm not thinking of! I have a goal of moving my business completely full time, I just need to work my plan. But I have no other job! some months are fabulous for me but other months aren't as great but it's my fault not PC's. Consistency is the key. It is so do-able if you just use the tools that they provide. 3-2-1 really is the way!
 
I just started f/t in August. It's been great! I am no where near the levels of some other people, but I'm getting about 8 shows a month. And after figuring in what I paid for daycare, gas, clothes, lunches out, etc., I come out ahead with PC. :)

Thanks, I would love to hear from more of you!
 
I do PC full time (no other job) I have been a consultant for 3 years ) but I have to be honest, it has only been since this Summer that I have been working my job as if it was my full-time job. It was my full-time job in name only before that, it is has only been recently that I am working it as if it is a full-time job. If you decide to quit your job, and do PC full-time, please do not fool yourself into think that just because oyu are home all day, and it your office "putzing" that it is your full-time job!! Now, I can honestly say that I do Pampered Chef, and it has replaced the income I made in my previous full-time job, and I do about 8 shows a month and catalog shows, and festivals to supplement. I aim for 2 shows a week- It really does go back to 3-2-1. If you committ to 3-2-1, it really does work!!!
