Due to possible huge life changing events coming up in the next month or so, I'm throwing around the idea of PC being my full time job. It's always been a goal of mine to quit my current job. I currently have 6-7 shows in April and 7-8 shows in May. I'm looking to add more to each month to see if I can do this full time, or at least to get me through the next couple months. I'm also looking to build my team up. Is there a way to tell potential booking and recruiting leads that I could really use their help now without sounding needy or desperate?
 
Good for you!

I don't think it sounds needy to share your goals. I would come at it from the standpoint of how great it is that PC can be what you need it to be - so now that you need it to be full time, it can be.
For recruits, let them know that with PC now being your full time job, you will be more available for training and help, so will be able to also help them get the very best start to their business!
 
Becky is right. Sharing your goal is never being pushy. I tell other consultants this all the time as we have been told this at NC, in e-mails and on-line training and well, where ever PC training of any kind is done. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be aware that you NEED to share your goals with your guests and hosts. They are not mind readers any more than we are so if you need something, tell them. Simple say this, "I am very excited about my Pampered Chef and I am going to make this my full time job but I need your help..." That does not in any way sound pushy to me. Tell them what you need. Shows, team members, referrals the whole smear and myriad of things you are looking for. As you may have noticed I said to say "I am going to" not I want to. Be positive. This makes them understand that you mean it.
 
::doing a little happy dance for Wadesgirl:: :-)
 
That is AWESOME!!I would probably word things in a way that because this is replacing your full time job that you have a more availability and that you thought they might be interested in your new availability. Also, your excitement at being able to make this your full time job will be a bit infectious, so just ask everyone.

Over 200 total shows, I average about 50 kitchen shows a year.
 
Just tell them what you want to do. It's a great goal...and you will be surprised how easy it is to step it up once you can commit to it full time.I started 4 & 1/2 years ago...I quit my job 3 months after I started this business. I never looked back. a few months after making this my ONLY job, I became a Director. I make as much in 6 evenings a month as I did working 30 hours a week. My team has grown and I am helping others see their full potential.Love it -- so will you!
