Dear
Friends and Colleagues,
It's officially Summer, and for
many of you, that means you might not be working your business
quite as much as you do other times of the year.
While this is understandable, it's also
important to realize you could be leaving a lot of money on
the table!
July and August are the months when your
customers are most excited about the new catalog. Once
September rolls around, and they're looking at holiday product,
the focus tends to shift away from the main catalog.
There's a window of opportunity
open for you this summer... if you're willing to take advantage
of it. Try to work your business as much as you can, and
DON'T leave that money on the table!
I'm very proud to say that SIMB Coaching
clients have once again made tremendous gains in every business
category this year, well outperforming the industry averages!
If you'd like to do the same, and you feel like you can use a
little push, please read below to see what options are available
to you. (And check out some of the great
testimonials we've received this
month, too!)
Enjoy this month's newsletter, and if you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Warmest
regards,
John

Is It Time To Make Changes In Your
Business? |
|
 For
many of you, its a new year. That means,
its an excellent time to assess your business
and decide if you need to make any changes.
Take a look at the past
year and ask yourself the following questions:
- What type of
events were the most productive in
terms of sales and profit?
- What types of
events were the least productive?
- Was there
something I did that was really popular the
year before, but not so popular last year?
- Did my customers
hear from me as often as they should
have last year?
- Did I speak with
enough people about the business
opportunity last year?
If you can be
brutally honest when you answer these
questions, you'll gain some real clarity when
you're trying to determine what adjustments
you need to make now.
You'll know what types of
events you can eliminate and you'll see where
you need to re-focus your efforts.
Then, if you
make those changes, you'll very quickly see
new momentum in your business, and you'll be
well on your way to making the new year your
BEST year!

The Power
of Writing Down Your Goals |
|
 I
think just about everyone knows how important it
is to know your goals. What you want to
accomplish with your business and why.
But do you have
those goals written down and prominently
displayed?
If not, you're missing out
on a real asset in the world of goal-setting!
Writing down a goal makes
it real. And displaying that goal where
you, and anyone else, can see it, creates a
whole new layer of motivation and accountability.
So, if you haven't done so
already, take out a big piece of paper and write
down your goal. Then, display it somewhere
nearby so you can take a look at it whenever
your feel your focus wavering. Make sure
its in a place where everyone else can see it,
too, so they know you're serious about making
your stamping business as successful as it can
be.

 Getting
Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by
David Allen
If you're the type of person who likes
files and to-do lists, you'll realy like David Allen's,
"Getting Things Done."
If you're used to listening to me talk
about time management, there isn't going to be much in
this book that will surprise you. Allen is big on
maximizing your time by building structure within your
business, as well as learning how to prioritize.
As am I.
Sometimes, though, its good to hear the
same advice from different sources. So, if you
feel like you can use a little help getting a handle on
your organization, this might be a book that can help
'get it done.'

Stamping
Business Q&A
My Husband Just Lost
His Job and I Need My Stamping Business to Generate Some
Revenue Fast. How Do I Make That Happen?
Get on the phone!
Seriously, the best
way for you to make some immediate revenue is to get on
the phone and actively reach out to your customers.
Set a goal of 10 or 20 customer calls per day.
Imagine if you made
300, 400, 500 calls per month. Compare that to the
number of calls you're making now.
How much more
business do you think you would bring in?
Plenty!
Simply put, nothing you do in
your business is going to bring about a greater return
on investment (ROI) than making customer phone calls.
So, take advantage of that fact,
get on the phone and start generating the revenue you
need.

there's a question you'd like answered, or a topic you'd
