Hi everyone,
Well I just spent the whole day browsing the net and this site looking for a party plan business for me. I am currently working full time as a manager at a retail store and finding the stress has gotten to me lately I have lost so much weight in the last week (and I was a size 8 to begin with so now I am basically bone) Also I have been trying to fall pregnant for 2 years after a miscarriage but again the stress isn't allowing me to fall. Anyway I am wanting to quit my job and do something new, but I live in a small town so there isn't many jobs out there. I was thinking of doing undercoverwear but have just found out that there is someone just started. there is 12 tupperware consultants. So I was thinking of maybe the jewellery or kids clothes. Anyway I would love to here from people and what they do. I am looking for something that doesn't have a min monthly party booking, etc. I am shy to so I am worried I won't be any good, also being a small town I am worried that I will run out of bookings. Anyway enough from me I would love to here any suggestions on what people think. Thanks..

Hi Faye,
Good luck with your search for the right party plan.
You say your town is small but with 12 tupperware consultants it must be big enough to handle it.
Look carefully and look long to decide on the right one. Kids clothes and jewellery could well be the way to go as these things are usually in short supply or too expensive in small towns and you will be able to give people the variety and cost they are looking for with these items.
As you can see i do candles, it is an easy thing to do and as we make our own the profit is a little better than many other companies. Have a look at my website at www.candlelyte.com.au/angelicascandles and let me know if you wish to know more about what i do. It is not only party plan so it might suit your situation as there are many other options to go for.
I also do Saucy Fish Jewellery so let me know if you want to know more about that too.
I will pm you my contact details, dont hesitate to call or email if you would like information on the above two companies or even general advise as i am happy to help.
Regards Lyn

Thanks for you quick reply. I will have a look at those websites. I didn't even know that there was 12 tupperware consultants in town but I was told there was, and I don't know how they all go. But anyway I was thinking kids clothing but we do have target opening in a couple of months so I don't know if that would affect it or not. But then I was thinking jewellery as I love jewellery what female doesn't, and we have 2 jewellery shops in town but very expensive. Then I thought I could do undercoverwear and jewellery as the two go together nicely. But I would have to do one and see if I like it and so on first. I am just a little scared of taking that step to quit from a salary paying job to the unknown.......Thanks for the advice I will do some more searching on the net and maybe even try to take the trip to Brisbane in January to the Southside Community Expo.

Dearest Fay,
I would like to welcome you to this Forum and taking the first step to re- evaluate your life.
As Dr Phil says ( I love Dr Phil) if it ain't working change it, and this is what you want to do.
I commend you for that.
I am sad to hear you are stressing and losing weight and about your miscarriage. Please do not stress, as I my favourite saying is " stressing does not get you anywhere" Trust me, it took a long time for me to get to this point about not stressing as I was the biggest stresspot around.
You may not see it at this particular point in time, but out of something bad good will come. When one door closes another one opens.
For some reason we have to go through lows to achieve great highs. I wish life was easy, but life is a test and a hard one at times. ( sounds so philosophical I know)
Please stay optimistic as your life will change one day for the better and you will have your much desired family.
I went through my low point last year and if you pm your email address I can send you a copy of MY STORY and how and why I got into party plan and how it has been working for me.
Keep your spirits up and you will have a fantastic 2007
kindest regards
