Starting Business while in 13

[spearmint]

I DO agree......you need to start somewhere though. I have considered a consultant/product sales based business myself. It's one of those things that stay at home moms do or even working Moms for that sake. I have been back and forth due to the economy. I really like the products and so do many of my friends and aquaintances. I still may go for it when summer nears. Based on what the attorney told me, after we file our trustee should not care what happens to our income. If I start this business I may generate a couple hundred a month to start. It's something but not significant enough to warrant the trustee raisning an eyebrow.....

Are you talking about something like Avon cosmetics?

Avon is hot in the news now for people trying to make extra income; however, now there is a glut of Avon sales people. We now have 2 in our office alone and it can get annoying for folks at work having catalogues and brochures left on your desk or in the kitchen/lunchroom area. While Avon is good if one feels you can make some money, with the glut in that field and the lower prices for similar products in the stores now, it might not be a good area to get into now due to the glut. Just my opinion... Avon jewelry is extremely overpriced as I know someone who sells it.

I don't want to do Avon. I was just curious if you were doing that or something like it because you mentioned "product-based".

Oh no...I just tossed that posting in there as informational as it may be of some help/advice to anyone looking to do that or start something on the side to make a few bucks...

Ohhh, I am sorry, Flamingo. I thought you were the OP but you are not.

No definately NOT Avon, but similar. The business I'm going to do is party and reorder based but nothing like the "other" ones out there. I actually have people asking ME if they can host a party. It's all about food and spices and they are DELICIOUS! That is why I'm interested. WE all eat and entertain. This is perfect for that!

I love pampered chef and tastefully simple parties. The food is soooo good!
