Got an opportunity but not sure I can make the grade (been a SAHM for too long.....)

[Smithy]

Went to an opportunity event for a slimming organisation yesterday and there is an opportunity there (franchise) if I want to pursue it. I felt fired up when I left the meeting, but ended up feeling very deflated when DH and I discussed it later in the evening. I'm now not sure if I'm "up to it", and full of self-doubt. Ridiculous really as I was an account manager in the IT industry before kids (been SAHM for 6 years). There is an issue regarding child care with the opportunity as DH works away occasionally but he's said that he'll support me if I decide to go ahead (then said that I'm not very good at asserting myself, meant it as a constructive critisism as owning a franchise it would be down to me to make it successful). So I'm sitting here, totally confused and don't really know whether to go for it or let it go. Sorry for rambling, just wanted to write it down to see if it helps.....

Well its normal to feel nervous when you are moving outside your comfort zone.

Is it a well known organisation, if so I think provided you do some advertising then it wouldn't be particularly in your face.

What is the financial investment, if its not too much then I would say go for it. You can always get childcare if you need it for the odd occasion.

My favourite quote is "Ships in Shore are safe but thats not what ships are for"

love the quote, roockie!
If I were you, Smithy, I'd give it a go, as long as the initial financial outlay isn't too big to risk loosing.
Were you successful in your career before becoming a SAHM?

Sorry for the delay, not been watching the thread! Yes, I like to think I was successful in my pre-children days. Hard work but I used to enjoy what I did! I've not heard anything from them since the event, and DH is away from Saturday for the week but I'll see what happens if/when they call. I guess having an interview ain't going to hurt is it?

Defo go for the interview. You can always change your mind at a later date. Go for it and good luck, I say!
