Hi there! I'm trying to decide on someething I can do from home. I am teacher and I am taking the next school year off to be home with my toddler and newborn! I am excited but worried about our finances and would love to do something to supplement my husband's income. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it?

What can I do next?

Hi L.,

I left a teaching position in 2000 to be home with my 2 cuties who were then almost 3 and 10 months. I loved being home, and did find an awesome opportunity in 2001 that fit my passion...books and kids! For 7+ years now, I have been working from home and would LOVE to tell you more about what I do. Email me at ____@____.com We need consultants in the suburbs!!!

Hi L.,
Congrats on your new "job" staying home! I was in a similar situation as you when I decided to become a Pampered Chef Consultant. I did consider many other direct sales companies before making my decision. I have been with the company for 2 years and it has provided us with the added income needed and the ability to stay at home with my daughter. As someone else mentioned, consider what you really enjoy and the rest will come easy. I would be happy to talk to you more about The Pampered Chef if you would like to learn more and have a chance to compare to other companies such as Tastefully Simple.

Hi L.,
I cannot speak to you about Tastefully Simple however I can introduce you to a new cutting edge company called Wildtree. It is the ONLY direct sales company that is ALL natural. New to the midwest the company is on ground level so it's a great business opportunity. Especially since you are a teacher, I assume you aware how preservatives,dyes,additives in our food can adversely affect our children and our families. Wildtree was founded on the premise that food should be natural, nutritious,delicious, and easy to prepare-all at the same time. Wildtree's products are PEANUT free,and contain NO preservatives,No additives,No MSG or dyes. They also sell grapeseed oils which have half the saturated fat than olive oil and is healthier and taste better than olive oil. Grapeseed oils contain Vit E, Omega 3 & Omega 6 which help lower cholesterol. Grapeseed oils have many other benefits and I can discuss that with you in detail. I enjoy wildtree because it's food, it's healthy, easy to prepare, and again it's All natural FOOD! People love to taste new foods so this is an easy business because people try it and they fall in love with it! Just a reminder that Wildtree is the ONLY direct sales company that is ALL Natural with infused flavored grapeseed oils. I am also a RN, and mother of 3 young children and very busy. However, I started Wildtree because wildtree is on ground level and a great business opportunity and I love the food and I want my family to eat healthier. I would love to bring you a sample of the infused flavored grapeseed oils to taste. Contact me for further information.

Naturally yours,

If you are looking for someone from TS to talk to I can put you in touch with someone that I know will give you honest answers to your questions. Let me know if you are interested in talking to them.

On the other hand, what about other party plans? Jewelry? Books? etc. What is your passion? What do you like to do? One BIG element of direct sales and home party plans is to LOVE your product. If you do, this shows through to your guests, hostesses, etc and makes them excited about it too.
I make a great income with no deliveries, no inventory, great hostess plans, etc and I get to wear my product everyday and be a walking advertisement - LOL.

Hope this helps and if you would like info on either my company or to talk to the TS rep I know please let me know and I will be more than happy to help you out.

I have a friend who does tastefully simple but she mostly just holds open houses twice a year.

If you're looking to do at home parties you should check out Juxtaposie.com. They are a relatively new company that sells one of a kind handbags. They're super trendy and fun and Oprah even commisioned them to create a bag for her.

If you're interested in learning more I'd love to share the company with you - Their mission and their benefits are quite impressive!
