I've just moved to a really nice neighborhood, in a new area where I know no one! I'm trying to get Pampered Chef going again and since getting laid off a few weeks ago, I need to either make this work, or get a full time job. (I'm actually looking and applying for full time work currently, but would LOVE to make PC my full time business!)
My question is two-fold. I want to have a Mystery Host "Open House". In fact I have it set for next Thursday. I've been SOOO hesitant to go around and introduce myself to the neighbors! I've been out-spoken about the biz when I go to the stores, but I guess I worry about going around in my neighborhood. We live in the nicest community we've ever been, and with the homes being so $$$$ I guess I feel worried/concerned that my going around with invites and introducing myself as new to the neighborhood and a PC consultant wouldn't go well. I don't think I'd be violating any HOA rules if I knock. I don't want to just leave fliers, because then I probably would be in violation and fliers are so impersonal anyway. Should I continue with my plan to go around and introduce myself and invite people to the Mystery Host party??? The second half is, can I make PC my full time career??? I know I can - but how likely? I guess not likely if I don't get out there, huh??? lol
I guess I need some encouragement/advice. I'm really running out of time, and I've invited like 4 people that I already know OUTSIDE of my community. I don't know why I feel so inferior here! Help!
Thanks in advance. I feel so silly for even posting this!
