Come on, admit it to yourself - the thought of joining Stampin' Up! has flitted through your mind at least once, especially if you see all the fun we have at crafting events globally.
But have you really thought about the benefits - especially to your children?
When I joined Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator 13 years ago (!!) I told myself it was for the permanent discount and that amazing starter kit of stamping products. But as the years flew by I started to realize something - and it was from the comments my son made:
a. Manager: I am my own boss. I work my own hours at the pace I choose - as little or as much as I want.
b. Business savvy: I have learned amazing business skills: goal setting, communications, marketing, networking, budgeting, and so much more. All things I didn't have a clue about before.
c. World traveller: I have travelled near and far: all across the US, to Europe, and to Asia thanks to Stampin' Up!
d. Leader: as stampers all over the US have joined my team we learned (together) how to support each other, how to run local and virtual events, and how to support others who joined out team.
e. Social Media Specialist: yes, this was the biggest learning curve of all for me but 13 years later I know a lot about blogging, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and soon Periscope! All these skills have helped me teach colleagues at my day job and have rounded out my resume.
f. Time Efficient: I am the master at that but I sure wasn't when I first joined Stampin' Up! I have learned how to make time for my family, my friends and me in addition to running a successful business.
g. Creative - maybe this should have been first on my list but I have come a long way with my own creativity. And I am not just talking about crafting. I have learned to look at things from perspectives, explore different ideas and observe others to learn from them as well.
And the learning keeps on going. What an amazing ride it is being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - don't you want to join my team, the fun and show your children the benefits of being your own boss? Click here to learn more benefits.
