Job Title: Stuff A Friend Independent Consultant

Job Description: Setting up and hosting mobile STUFF A FRIEND workshops at daycare centers, birthday parties and church camp.  

How I Started My Business: Surfing the web one evening I found this unique opportunity at the time only 2300 other people in the entire United States and Canada had discovered.  After further research, I decided this was the work from home business I have been looking for. So I sent out an email  with my website like to EVERYONE I knew and it has just grown from  there.

My Typical Work Schedule: I really don't have a typical day, but in any given week, I can be found stuffing envelopes, returning phone calls, answering emails, setting up workshops, calling to confirm workshops, setting up fundraisers, and scouting for future customers.  

What I Love About My Job:
I am able to stay at home with my daughter and it allows me to set my own hours and work as much or as little as I want to.  

Challenges I Face:
The money isn't a set amount, it is all variable and dependant on sales which can be very challenging.  

Tips and Advice:
I would start now talking to all your Mom friends, your Mom's
Friends (other grandparents), daycare centers, church groups, camps anywhere that you think would either be interested in holding a workshop or is in need of a fundraiser and if you drum up enough interest think about starting your own STUFF A FRIEND business.
