Welcome!

I hope you enjoy the free site I've created for the purpose of encouraging and motivating independent Stampin' Up demonstrators. I love Stampin' Up dearly, and am delighted to be able to give back in any small way to a company which has meant so much to me over the past seven years. I have been blessed with a growing business and downline, achieving bonuses and incentive trips along the way, as well as being named to the top 100 Demonstrators of the Year in 2011 and 2012. I have lots of fun, profitable and 'tried and true' business ideas to share with you!

This blog is for business motivational purposes only. For stamping, scrapbooking and sewing inspiration, you are very welcome to visit my project blog, at www.songofmyheartstampers.com

This blog is free and will stay that way. While I respect the opinion of those who are charging for their advice, I am committed to providing as much free assistance and encouragement to Stampin' Up demonstrators as is within my power to do. If you'd like to leave a comment and even just tell me I've given you food for thought, I consider that ample payment for my time.

Please Note: All content is copyright Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek and was written by me except where specifically noted. Nothing has been endorsed by Stampin' Up and they are not responsible for anything I present here. You use any of the advice contained here at your own risk, and you are encouraged to carefully consider your own business situation before deciding whether or not to implement it. Many of the ideas presented have been used in direct sales for a long time and the original author's name is no longer attached. Where clearly indicated, I have included credit.

I will be posting content to this blog entirely at my own pace. I never want to fall into the trap of throwing something out there to meet an arbitrary deadline. I will post only when I really have something to say. I suggest that you subscribe in a blog reader so that you can be notified when new content is posted, to save yourself visiting every day.

You may use anything on this site for your personal use or group meetings. If you print out an article to use as a handout, it must contain my full name and this web address. Please do not reproduce the entire articles online even in password-protected sites. You may use quotes from the articles in your own downline materials as long as they are properly credited.

When we are successful, Stampin' Up is successful. So let's be successful!

Wow! Lyssa, all this information will be an incredible asset to me as a SU demonstrator! I have a full time job teaching but have loved sharing the fun of stamping with others. I'm ready to try to push and make more out of my demo-ship:)

Thanks,
Heather

This is wonderful! Thanks so much for starting this blog. I will check in daily. I tried to subscribe but that link isn't working. Thanks again!

[Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek]

Hi Ginny! The link has been working for other people, so maybe try it one more time? or set up an RSS feed so the blog posts go directly to a file in your email program--that's what I do.
