Question: Any advice on Home Based Business?
I'm considering becoming a Pampered Chef Consultant, but am worried the market is overly saturated already. Does anyone have any ideas on other home based businesses that are succesful and fairly lucrative? I have a friend who is very successful with Arbonne, so that's one idea. Any help is appreciated.
Answer: I sell Pampered Chef and have a lot of people in my area that also sell PC. It is great to have such a great base of support and assistance nearby. Is the only reason you don't want to sell any of these things is because you think there won't be enough business to go around? I think that you should do something that you are passionate about rather than just picking something that is different from anyone else. If you are doing something you enjoy, your enthusiasm will show through and you will attract business to yourself. My recruiter once put it this way: "Count the houses on your street (it was 35 or so). If you want to have 3 shows per month, that is 36 shows per year. You will barely make it off of your own street all year. If I do 3 shows a month, I will barely make it off of MY street." PC doesn't have territories, so we can do a show anywhere. There is plenty of business for everyone. I personally picked PC because I love to be creative in the kitchen and enjoy helping others shave time off of meal prep. I also knew that not everyone wears makeup or jewelry or lingerie, but everyone has to eat.
The bottom line is that you should choose whatever business incorporates what YOU enjoy. That will also make it seem less like work!
