Advice needed! Should I become a Consultant???

[MrsRose2018]

Hi All

I am just wondering if there are any slimming world consultants here - past or present - that can give me some truthful information?

I am a current group member and have not a lot of weight following slimming world and I have just been approached with an opportunity to become a consultant?

I work 4 days a week and I have two young children 3.5 and 14m but life is fairly flexible and the opportunity for a side hustle and to earn more money is not to be sniffed at!

However from a quick google it seems like you're expected to invest a lot of time and money for not much reward. I'm not expecting to make thousands but I'm not sure I would be interested if I'm earning less than minimum wage when it all balances out!

Please let me know your thoughts - good and bad!

Thanks xx

From my experience there seems to be a high turnover, new consultants at the group I used to be at didn't last long, dont know their reasons.

Have a look at previous thread...

I was consultant and it is hard work. They expect you to leaflet drop quite regularly, attend staff meetings as well as all the classes stuff plus training up in Derbyshire. Can be reasonable money if you have large classes though.
