Your most important marketing tool is your Mailing List!
85% or more of your sales will come from your Mailing List subscirbers!
So, it's really important to make sure you're adding new subscribers to your list every day.

Putting together an irresistible Lead Magnet is a pretty straightforward process, and means you're going to get the maximium number of signups you can.
Unfortunately, we tend to overthink what should go into our Lead Magnets, and this leads to delays or, worse, lack of implementation.
In this podcast episode, I'm going to give you a simple list of criteria you need to make sure your Lead Magnet meets. Check everything off the list and you're good to go!

The way you think about money, and the factors you prioritize when dealing with money, will determine your financial success more than just about anything else.
When I first read Robert Kiyosaki's amazing book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," more than 20 years ago, the way he detailed this stuck with me. To this day, I still use his words to help my Coaching clients gain clarity on how they deal with money.
In this episode, I share those same words with you. I hope it brings you clarity, as well. And if you enjoy the podcast (after you leave a glowing review), you should pick up a copy of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad,' and read it yourself.

If you've been running your own Stamping Business long enough, you're going to, unfortunately, have haters.
And the more successful you are, the more haters you're going to have.
They could be other Stamping Business Owners, former customers or people you've never even met before.

Am I going to die?

Listen to this episode and find out.
There are lots of things that take us away from our Stamping Business.

Whatever the situation, if you haven't been paying attention to your business for awhile, you CAN step back into it.
Just follow the steps I outline in this episode.
What's the secret to a successful Stamping Business?
You gotta be hungry!
What, exactly, does that mean?
In this episode, that's EXACTLY what I'm going to tell you!
Way too many Stamping Business Owners undercharge for their services and products.
And it has a terrible impact on their businesses.
However, the positive impacts of proper pricing, both tangible and intangible, are numerous.
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, I’m going to share the main reasons Stamping Business Owners underprice what they do AND what happens when you change that.
Trust me... there are impacts I'm going to discuss you probably haven't even thought of yet!

I'm always thinking about YOUR business.
And, sometimes, I find ideas for and about your business in some unlikely places.
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, I’m going to share an example of one of those times.
I'll tell you how pursuing MY hobby gave me an important insight into YOUR business... and I'll share the business lesson, too!
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, I’m going to share a pretty critical email I received. It was in response to my recent podcast (Episode 7) where I made the argument about why recruiting your best customer wasn’t the best idea.
I really appreciated this email. It was well-written, well thought-out and absolutely deserves a reply.
This is that reply.
You hate making phone calls!
But maybe you'd hate them less if they were more productive.
In this episode, I'll share three tips (plus a bonus) on how you can make phone calls that yield more results in less time for your stamping business.
Stamping Business Owners ask me all the time... "Do I really need all this technology? Can't I run my business without it?"
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, I'm going to tell you the answer to that question (and why), AND I'm going to tell you how to make all of that technology easier for you, too!
We've all heard of To-Do Lists, but what the heck is a "To-DON'T List!?
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, we're going to tell you what it is, how to put one together AND why it's probably more important than your To-Do List when it comes to the success of your stamping business!
We all have them. Customers who cross the line too often. Customers who expect too much from us. Customers who are never quite pleased. Customers who take up disproportionate amount of our time and energy.
The question is, how do you handle them?
On this episode of the Stamping Is My Business Podcast, we're going to look at this issue AND what you can do about it.
One of the most common questions Stamping Business Owners ask me is, "How much should I expect to get paid?"
It's a great question.
In this episode, I'll answer the question, give you my reasoning behind the answer AND share some strategies you can use to make sure you actually DO get paid the appropriate amount.
It's probably happened to you. One of your best customers decides she wants to sign up. You're excited! She's always buying product, and coming to your classes, and holding workshops. Based on that behavior, you imagine she'll make a great downline!
Until she doesn't.
In this episode, we'll look at why your best customers often end up being your worst downline, AND what you can do to avoid that situation.
Classes, both in-person and online, should be one of the biggest profit-centers in your business. Unfortunately, that's often not the case because most Stamping Business Owners charge WAY too little for their classes. Here are five fantastic reasons that should change!
"My Stamping Business is very flexible. I get to run it "my way!""
It sounds great, but what if "my way" doesn't mean what you think it means?
In this episode, we discuss the "My Way" Myth - what it is, why it's a myth and how to avoid falling into this trap!
It's the question we hear all the time! "Do I REALLY have to make phone calls?" In this episode, we'll tell you the answer (yes) and, more importantly, why!
What's the most important part of your Stamping Business? In this episode, we'll let you know. Not only that, but we'll also tell you why it's probably not what you think it is... and why!
