friends, Amazingly, the end of summer is just around the corner. It's one of those unofficial times that people reevaluate their lives and set new goals for themselves. What are some of the goals you'd like to set for yourself? Do would want to book more workshops? Would you like more personal sales? Establish a list of key clients/customers? This newsletter may help you a bit, as well as some of the other products and services we currently offer. In addition to our first audio product - a motivational CD to help you overcome your fears about starting and running your stamping business - I'm also starting a new Coaching Group in September! I'm confident our new Monday Night Group will be just as successful as our Thursday Night Group has been. In this issue: Click on any of the above links to scroll down to the topic of your choice.
New Stamping Business Coaching Group Starts in September! It's been three months since I started the inaugural Stamping Business Coaching Group. We meet on Thursday nights, via conference call, to discuss all aspects of the stamping business, motivate each other, share challenges, set goals and celebrate successes. I'm happy to report the Group is going strong! So strong, in fact, that I've decided to start a second Group beginning in September! This new Group will meet on Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. If you're looking for more hands-on support and assistance to help grow your stamping business, you may want to consider joining our Group! As a member of the Group, you will receive one-on-one Coaching, as well. The size of the group is limited to 10, and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. You can only join at the beginning of the month, so if you miss the September 3rd deadline, you'll have to wait until October, pending space availability. Our first call will be Monday, September 8th. We'll also have one or two availabilities in our Thursday Night Group beginning in September. For more information or to sign up for either the Monday or Thursday Stamping Business Coaching Groups, click here.

The Top 10 Tips for Working Effectively From Home One of the hardest parts of your stamping business is the fact that you're running it out of one of the most distracting places in your life: your home. If you find it difficult to separate your home from your work, try to incorporate these tips into your day. You just may find yourself becoming much more efficient!: 1. Maintain regular working hours and stick to them. 2. Get a separate phone line, computer and printer that are only used for your business. 3. Keep your workspace separate from your living space. 4. Maintain goals and to do lists.
5. Find other independent workers or a Personal Coach to give you feedback on your ideas and progress. 6. If you are working with a team, have frequent telephone and e-mail conversations with the members of the team. 7. Document your work and learn to do this in laser like language. 8. Request frequent feedback from customers and downlines so that you are sure you are satisfying their expectations continually. 9. Take regular breaks during your day.
10. Set clear boundaries. Neighbors, friends, and family must know that your office is off bounds.
