I have been bouncing around the idea of becoming a PC and joining you fine people. However, I am really torn as to whether getting option b or c. Will I benefit more by going to seminar? I have three little ones at home who may not survive if I leave them with good ol' dad for two days . . . but I'm willing to risk it if I'll benefit. HA HA. Please HELP!!!
Well, pack your clothes mommy! Yes, attending a seminar will only help to jumpstart your biz....most of all, you will be fellow adults with the same ambition...and not interrupting you with 'mommy, he's touching me"!
Seriously, the text is gone over in depth...you get the interaction, you get questions answered right on the spot (and hear other's questions you may have not yet htought of, get answered) and it is VERY motivating while also being fun!
If you can get to a seminar, I strongly suggest it.
Hello, and what a great question, I can only give you my opinion and that would be GO to the seminar!!
I also have kids (5) and I wondered if they would survive without us, guess what they did!!
Just my take on this, my husband and I joined with the plan B I believe, got our biz up and running and then made enough money to attend the seminar and it was worth every penny!!
Thanks to the APPCA I am sitting pool side on our very first family vacation letting you know you can do it!! There are so many people just waiting to help in anyway possible!!
Do not be afraid, fear is the only thing that will hold you back....
What occurs at the seminar that is different from the videos and books you can buy with your membership? There is a seminar in my city soon, and I wanted to know if it was worth spending the money to attend. Some background information that is keeping me from spending the extra money, I am graduating from Newbury College with a B.S. in Culinary Management this May, and attending graduate school this fall. During my four years as an undergraduate I have worked in private homes cooking for small parties and families, didn't realize the personal chef industry was so booming and now I'm interested in this. I am pursing my MBA so I'm a bit broke right now and the three hundred dollar difference is a big deal for me!
Again, the text is gone over in depth...you get the interaction, you get questions answered right on the spot (and hear other's questions you may have not yet htought of, get answered) and it is VERY motivating while also being fun! Other personal chef related info is gone over too (like on-site catering, dinner parties)...where as the book & other materials is focused on the personal chef aspect....that is usually due to questions being asked by attendees.
Do not feel Chef Mickalee that you have to sign up for a seminar right away...or at all,. Everyone learns differently...besides, you can always go later (which you pay the difference & not the whole fee, but check with home office...I might not being giving complete info correctly)
Since the seminar is in your city, I would suggest to attend that one & not wait...that way you also don't have to spend for travel & hotel thus saving you money.
