tomorrow's host is SO teetering on the edge as to whether or not to sign...

Objective: My work schedule would not allow for very many night shows
My answer: you make your own schedule with PC - you can do brunches and day shows

Objective: I tend to overextend myself
Answer: ??

Objective: I am thinking of going for my financial advisor licensse in a few years.
Answer: PC -- what a great way to earn the extra $$ you'll need to pay for those classes!
 
Oh, she is SOOOO many of us...tell her she can even do 1 show a month if she wants to start - just pick 1 night. She can also do catalog shows. PC has great incentives but she doesn't have to strive for the top.

I tend to overextend too...hence where you pick what fits...how about the 1-2 shows a month and enjoy being a consultant...you don't know what you're missing until you do it, and what is there to lose? If you try and can't keep the schedule, you still have great products after the 4 shows, but I guarantee she'll want more.

In a few years? Then do PC now while you can...it'll give you a great chance to work with people in preparation to be an advior...
 
Mega Show!!!!!!!

If I help keep you on a steady but not overwhelming pace, would you feel more comfortable joining my team? ;)
 
I agree with the KG impersonator (whomever she might really be!). I'm in the "over-extend myself" category. But with PC, you can pick when you want to work and I look at the monthly cluster meeting as a "girls night out" type thing... that way I feel like I'm "getting out" and not just going to another meeting.

I went back to my usual self...one KG is enough around here. :) ...and we can't all live up to his standards!

Personally, since my cluster meetings are 70-80 miles away, I will only get to a few a year. I've been to one training. Cluster meetings unfortunately fall on my Fire Department nights. But I will hit the Fall kick-off meeting and a few others.

Answer: ?? Tell me what other things you are involved in. This will let you know how really involved in other things she really is. Also, this other things might end up being show leads.

Also ask, How many hours do you think you could give to Pampered Chef a week?

Side note: So many times people think we put a lot more time in our businesses than we do. She could make a nice car payment by working five hours a week.

I hope this helps!
