Trump's Rules of Success

As members of the Stamping Business Coaching Group know, I love 'The Apprentice.'  Not because I'm a big fan of reality TV, but because I take a good nugget of information away from every episode that I can share with my stamping business owners.  Since the show comes on right before our weekly Group call, I usually share that nugget right then and there.  Last week's Newsweek magazine listed Donald Trump's Seven Rules of Success.  I've pared them down to Five Rules of Success for Stamping Business Owners:

1.  You Have to Love What You're Doing

I've never seen anyone succeed who didn't love what they were doing.

2. You Cannot Stop

If there is a concrete wall in front of you, you have to go through it. You can never, ever give up or even think in terms of giving up.

3. Confidence Is A Very Important Thing

But confidence isn't something you just develop by saying "I'm going to do this or that." You really have to believe it.

4. You Have to Remain Cool Under Fire 

You have to let criticism roll off you.  Good leaders handle conflict easily and bad ones are eaten up by it.

5. You must be loyal to your team 

Disloyalty is the worst of all traits. You must work well with others.

2004 and 2005 Speaking Engagements

None of these dates are set in stone yet, but these are the areas where we've seen the most interest.  

Because we will only schedule where and when we believe there is enough interest, if you would like an open seminar in your area, please send me an e-mail and let us know where you are.  We'll add you to our list, and when we have enough requests, schedule the seminar for anyone who would like to attend.

We hope that this will benefit demos and consultants who may not have large enough groups to make scheduling a private seminar economically feasible.

If you do have a large enough group, however, we are still taking private bookings for 2004 and 2005.  Click here for more information about John's business-building seminars and workshops.  

Groups and CDs

Response to our new CD, "What Are You Afraid Of - 20 Fears Concerns & Objections You May Have About Starting and Running Your Stamping Business...and Why You Shouldn't Let Them Stop You!" has been great.  To learn more or to order your copy, click here.

I invite all of you to join our new SIMB Yahoo! Group.  This is a private group for members only, and there's no charge to join.  Members must be active demonstrators or consultants within their stamping company.  Discussion is limited to stamping business topics.  To become a member, click here to send an e-mail.
