How Awesome!!!

1. Length of time on CS. Joined may of 2005 (just over 3 years ago)
2. Are you a PC consultant or just hanging out with us? Consultant
3. Length of time as a PC consultant. Just over 5 years
4. Were you asked by a consultant to join PC? Nope...
5. How many times were you asked? Never... I always had lots of red flag questions. But as soon as I said I worked full time or had a wierd schedule they would clam up. No one ever took the time to tell me how I could make PC work for me. I should have started way back in 2008. I was in retail and did not have much controll over my schedule but I see now I could have managed 1 or 2 shows a month. It would have started me on such a great road! Not to mention I did not have kids then.
6. How long after you were first asked or knew of PC was it before you become a consultant? I knew of PC for about 5 years and had 3 parties in 3 different states.
