Dear friends,

Why is this month's newsletter so late???

This month's newsletter is arriving in the middle of the month because of all of the changes taking place at Stamping Is My Business!:

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE!:  If you visit our website, you'll see a whole new design - one which reflects the scope of SIMB more accurately.  The new website now provides access to all of the products and services we offer on one simple menu page.  Please take a moment to visit the new site at www.stampingismybusiness.com.

WE HAVE A NEW ADDRESS!:  We've moved...to a larger, nicer space.  Please make a note of our new address:

69 Carlton Avenue

2nd Floor

Jersey City, NJ 07306

201-653-6482

Why We Hate Hearing the Word 'NO!'

.
Nobody likes rejection.  We all hate hearing the word 'No' when we're talking about our products or pitching the business opportunity.  Well, now we know why.  It turns out that your brain REALLY doesn't like it!

A recent UCLA study found that the chemical reaction produced by the brain when we face rejection is similar to the reaction produced by physical pain.

So, it's true what they say.....'No' hurts!

 

Coming Soon - Your Own Business E-mail

.
Many of you are using your personal e-mail address for your business correspondence.  Even worse, some of you are using AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, Hotmail or any number of mass-consumer providers for your e-mail.  

In addition to not appearing professional (would you hire a lawyer with an AOL address?), many of these providers have set their Spam filters so high, a lot of legitimate e-mail isn't going through.  That means you may not receive e-mail from customers, or they might not receive e-mail from you.  A recent survey of AOL subscribers showed 34% of them failed to receive e-mails from friends or trusted sources.

I'm happy to report we've come up with a solution.  Beginning in the next few weeks, you'll be able to have a business e-mail address on our site:

Live Presentations 

and 

Stamping Business Group Coaching

.
It's been a busy couple of months.  I've been up and down New York state making appearances and speaking with dedicated stamping professionals.  Now that things have slowed down a bit for the holiday season, I'm taking bookings for 2004!

If you're an upline with a large network, or the administrator of a large group, feel free to get in touch with me for information about my live presentations. These business-building seminars and workshops can be done in-person or over a conference call phone line which will accommodate up to 150 people. If you'd like more information, please click here.

And don't forget our Thursday night Stamping Business Coaching Group.  The next round of calls you can participate in begin Thursday, December 4th.  Put yourself in a supportive environment where we set goals, share challenges and celebrate success!

Remember, enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis, and will close once the Group reaches 10.

Book Recommendation of the Month

.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

...and it's all small stuff

by Richard Carlson, PH.D

It's a classic...and there's a reason for that.  This book really does help you focus on keeping the little things from overwhelming you.  And as a business owner, you're more likely to get thrown off track by the little things than the big ones.

Great Gifts for the Holiday Season!

Printed Books and Tote Bags!

With the holidays coming up, it's time to think about what you're going to give your downlines and fellow stamping professionals.

Why not give them a gift that not only appeals to their love of stamping, but also helps them build their business!?

The Printed Edition of Stamping Is My Business! is available now, as is the very popular, business-building SIMB Tote Bag.  Both make excellent gifts!
