Hello, my friend!
I hope you enjoy the free site I've created for the purpose of encouraging and motivating Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrators. I 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 12 years. I have considered it a joy to speak at National Conventions, Leadership Conferences and regional events, on a wide variety of topics over the years. You can read more about my "street cred" here.
This direct sales business blog is my own creation. Nothing I share here has been endorsed by Stampin' Up! Each Independent Demonstrator is encouraged to carefully consider their own business needs before using anything presented here. For daily "real life" encouragement and inspiration, follow me on Facebook at our new group, Song of My Heart Business Demonstrators.
Thank you for visiting! Please feel free to leave comments or suggestions, and share tips that have worked for you. We're all in this together!

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

Hi Lyssa~
All I can say is, thank you!!! Your blog for demos is amazing. I went to convention and after coming home have been focusing on boosting my business, and your blog is an awesome tool. I have been following your blog for a loooong time and really admire your work. I am excited to follow your blog for demo's now too! Thanks again!!!

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!

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.

You are a very generous demonstrator. I've seen your comments on Splitcoast and you are very wise. Thanks for sharing!

I love your post on 12/7 that Christmas cards should not be a business transaction because it is about relationships. Thank you so much for your great posts! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
