sorry it's been hectic or else I would have replied sooner. Well I've done the job before with WW so I know a lot of what is involved really although SW is a different company and has a different way of doing things. I had read every page of this thread before I went to the OP event so really everything was a repeat from here I found. I guess the main thing I wanted to find out was the exact cost of a franchise/s and what we got for it! I have my interview on Tuesday so I will see if I get accepted. But if I do I think I will go for a double franchise which would consist of taking over an existing group (the one I'm currently going to myself which is a double session group) and opening a new one. It definitely consists of a lot more hours working than they claim...I honestly think if you do a 48 hour week then it would be too much to take SW on as well. To make any money out of it you need to make SW your career...anything less than that would mean it's a very expensive hobby. If you want to help people then be on the social team and attend every meeting and interact with the members. It's a lot less costly in the long runThats only my opinion of course...but I honestly know it is a lot more work than it seems. Then again, it's a very rewarding job...it's so nice when someone says their life has changed for the better and you have played a part in that. It's all decisions, decisions. I love SW and the food optimising, I love being part of the group, I love helping other people in any way I can to feel better...but I don't want to lose money either. I have the time and the ambition to do it...so long as I don't lose money in trying to achieve a career. Are you going to go for it Xiana? Is your interview Tuesday too?
Sorry for the late reply, how did you get on at your interview?
I've spoken to my consultant (who would also be my team developer) and I think I'm going to go for it, although due to a long Holiday coming up and the fact I'm doing an NVQ along side my 48 hours we are going to wait until October, to hopefully get me in group by jab, but she's said I can always do the interview now and postpone if I want.
I'm quite a committed person and I've not felt this excited about anything in a long time, so I think I'd be silly not to give it a try and put my all in! I eventually want to make this my career so I have to start somehow, I have thought carefully and everybody's reserves/concerns on the subject have been a massive help in keeping me grounded, but I think I've got what it takes and I'd rather start now before I start a family.
Hope you're enjoying the process so far!? You'll have to keep is posted!!

Hi Everyone!
I'm hoping it went well. Seemed to, but you never know, and I'm always pessimistic in these situations although I like to think I'm a realist!
It was very much a formal chat than a direct interview. There was my consultant/TD there as a bystander, the lady interviewing who I'm not 100% sure of the actual title of her...area developer? I'm not sure. Also a lady training for head office and to take over an area and she was taking notes. All lovely ladies and friendly.
As with anything when you are put on the spot as such there are things you wished you had said, not said but what will be will be.
I was told I would hear back within 4 days so the wait begins.

Go for it then definitely. It will always be a 'what if' otherwise. Best of luck!
The interview was the same venue and same people. All kind of informally-formal.
I've been told up to 4 days I should get an answer so I shall nervously look at my phone every 5 minutes!

I'm impatient too...I felt like saying at the interview just tell me now yes or no!
I like to be organised too and the waiting and wondering is awful.
I guess you should be enjoying your peace and quiet whilst you can...things are about to get crazy

It is honestly just more of a chat. I had many things in my head I wanted to say and it all flew out of the window. Try to just go with the flow and be yourself.
