Come on, admit it to yourself - the thought of joining Stampin' Up! and my team has flitted through your mind at least once, especially as you see all the fun we have at crafting events globally.
But have you really thought about the benefits??
When I joined Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator almost 20 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 - I have gained so much more that just that permanent discount:
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 our team.
e. Social Media Specialist: yes, this was the biggest learning curve of all for me but 19+ years later I know a lot about blogging, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube! 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 time management now 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.
