Hello
one and all,
Now
that Halloween is over and there's a bit of a chill in the air
for most of us, it's time to really start thinking about the
holidays and the New Year! You should pretty much have
your November and December schedules set, AND be booking for
January and February. Don't forget to talk to your
customers and hostesses about joining your company. It's a
great time of year for recruiting! Finally, you may want
to start thinking about your goals for 2005.
If
I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch
with me.
I
hope you enjoy this month's newsletter.
Warmest
regards and much success,
John

The
Power of Making Choices
|
|
|
As
the year draws to a close, many of you are beginning to
think about making some changes in your personal and
professional lives. Some
of you, though, may feel trapped.
You'd like to make changes, but feel like the
decision is out of your hands.
You feel as if they don’t have a choice.
The
truth is, you always have a choice.
Even when you don’t feel like you do.
To that end, I give you:
Six
Reasons You DO Have A Choice
1.
Choosing 'not to decide' is a choice.
2.
If you're not making your choices, then who is?
It's time to find out and identify who or what forces and
voices you are listening to instead of your own and take
back control. It is perplexing that sometimes the people who
are "controlling" us and making our choices us
are not even part of our lives anymore.
3.
There are no wrong choices, only different ones.
If you don't like where you are right now, choose
something else.
4.
Whether you choose or let the choice be made for you,
something is going to happen.
Why not take control and go in the direction you want?
5.
Making deliberate choices over time increases your ability
to consistently make choices that are more aligned with
what you want.
The
first time you take back some of the power and make your
own choice is always difficult, but it gets easier each
time.
6.
When you start making your own choices it changes who you
are in a positive way and might even rub off on the
significant others around you.

Two
New Live Presentations Available!
|
|
As
the
calendar continues to fill up for live appearances in
2005, I'm happy to announce two new presentations which
are available. I'm making these known to my
subscribers first. More information will be posted
on the website next week. The two new
presentations are:
-
What Are YOU Afraid Of!? - This is the live version
of our first CD. We cover the top 20 fears,
concerns and objections you may have or hear about
starting and running your stamping business...and why
they're wrong.
-
Spouses' Sitdown - I've been asked to speak with
so many negative, skeptical and angry spouses (read:
husbands) of demos and consultants that I'm now offering
to do presentations to groups of them about the stamping
business. The informal dialogue covers what your
stamping business is, what it isn't and what the
true benefits are. I also encourage them to say
what's on their mind so that we can address what's not
being said! This presentation is for spouses
ONLY! Demos are not allowed to be present.
Of
course, I'm still presenting the 'Five Steps to a
Successful Home-based Stamping Business' and 'Advanced
Marketing and Recruiting Workshop,' as well.
If
you're in charge of planning events for your downline or
group, we'd love to speak with you about coming out to present at your event. Please
call 201-653-6482 for more information.

Book of the Month

 The
8th Habit -
From
Effectiveness to Greatness
by
Stephen
R. Covey
15 years ago, Covey's '7 Habits of
Highly Effective People' changed the landscape of
corporate and personal culture.
Now, he returns with 'The 8th
Habit' - finding your voice and inspiring others to find
theirs.
How does this apply to your stamping
business? I believe recruiting and training your
downline is all about inspiring other people to find
their voice. As an upline, you help them gain
experience, confidence and achieve success.
This could be the book that redefines
the landscape.

New
Feature
What
Do
I
Do
If...?
|
|
This
month, we're starting a new column called 'What Do I
Do If...?'
Each
month, we'll examine a certain situation that may occur
in your business and suggest a way to address
it.
This
month:
Q: What
do I do if a prospect says she doesn't have time to
start a stamping business? A:
This is one of the more common answers you hear when
recruiting for your stamping business. Like most
excuses, this one is usually rooted in a lack of
knowledge about the business. More often than not,
people think of this as a traditional business model
where you have to dedicate hours and hours to make it
work. The truth is, this business is not like
that. It's actually one that accommodates your
schedule, rather than you having to change your schedule
to accommodate it. AND you really can run a
successful business in just a few hours per week (and
how many businesses can you say that about?). So,
ask your prospect, "How many hours do you think you
have to spend on this?" If the answer is more
than a few, educate them as to the truth. You may
just get them to sign up!
If
you'd like to see your question or situation answered in
a future newsletter, please e-mail it to me.

Testimonials... |

My book arrived yesterday. Thank
you. I read a couple of pages. It's great. It feels like
you're talking to me.
- TS, Calgary, Alberta
Thank you so much for your
presentation on Saturday. As a hobbyist, I didn't think I would be
interested in hearing what you had to say. Boy, was I wrong!
Your gave me so many good ideas! If I just use one or two of them,
I'll be able to purchase even more stamps! :-)
