I'm currently taking a break from doing party plan, since DS was born, but plan on going back when he's around the 7month mark.

I enjoyed doing it, and for us, it provided enough money for the extras and indulgences. I'm not a natural in front of a crowd, and I'm not a pushy person so being really upfront in getting parties booked wasn't my thing. However, I found a way of doing things that worked for me, and I managed to work fairly consistently.

have a think about what it is that exactly scares you and see if you can think of a way to work around it. It definately helps to be selling a product you believe - that honesty can go a long way to help you out.
