Hi... I've been reading this thread. I have my interview on the 15th March and have found this really interesting. Fingers crossed for you xx
I have 2 more weeks to go as a consultant. It has had it's highs and lows. My main advice would be that if you think you are going to be running your own business then think again. You are an employee with no benefits. That has been the biggest disappointment for me. Running the group and meeting lovely people is fantastic but the amount of work is 10 times+ what you think. Make sure you ask the question as to why there are so many relaunch groups and very few brand new......................

Ha! Ha! Will do! How long have you been doing it? If you don't mind answering some questions, I'd love to know where you are from and how many groups, average nos in them. Did you take over an existing grkoup and roughly how many groups there were already. Thanks in anticipation! Hard work wise, I'm from a teaching background so used to 7 days a week lifestyle job and pressure!!!

Where u from?
Interesting - I have been a secondary school teacher for 31 years so I am no stranger to hard work and hassle - this is a whole lot of different! I started 8 months ago and decided at New Year that it was not for me - going to have to continue with the teaching for a couple more years. Happy to answer questions but would prefer not to do it on this forum. Do you have an email address?
