Would you like to own your own business?

If someone had asked me 12 years ago, “Would you like to own your own business?” – my answer would have been “no” without any hesitation!  Fortunately for me, when I signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, it was OK to join just for the discount – and it still is, by the way 😉  What’s great about Stampin’ Up! is that you can choose how much, or how little, you’d like to work and you can change that depending on where you’re at with life and family.

When I first started, I did so purely for the discount – to save 20% on every order was the only reason I needed to purchase that starter kit!  Once my friends saw the catalog, they asked me to do workshops and I reluctantly agreed.  Yes, I was reluctant – I was scared silly at the thought of demonstrating the products.  What if someone asked me a question I didn’t know the answer to?  What if they didn’t like the make-n-take?  What if they didn’t order?  Well I soon found out that it was OK if I didn’t know the answer to every single question – I could easily find the answer later (from my upline or Stampin’ Up! directly) and get back to them.   Sometimes guests did not like my make-n-takes but most of the time, most of them loved the projects.  Did everyone order?  Well no, but most of the time, most of the guests did place orders and the hostess earned free product and earned a little money by sharing my love of rubber stamping and paper-crafting with other – win win, don’t you think?

So if you would like to own your own business, Stampin’ Up! has sweetened the starter kit  with a new promotion:

The starter kit includes your choice of product up to $125 (business supplies are free!) and now through August 31st, you can also choose a free project kit:
