Dear Ducky,
I just don't get it.... this weekend I had a workshop
and was so excited. I spent a few hours preparing for
the workshop, deciding the projects and cutting the
cardstock etc. The hostess seemed excited too.
When I got to the workshop only THREE people
(including the hostess!) were there. I was so
discouraged I just wanted to leave right then and
there. What would you do in this situation?
Signed,
Depressed and Downhearted
You have a friend who learned to stamp from you
and always asks for advice on card ideas etc when
she's working on a project. She's just called again,
asked for your card idea and says, "I'm running to
the store today to buy the supplies... is there
anything else I should get?" You don't want to seem
greedy and say "Duh, you goof ball.. buy it from me"
but you really want to bring up the discussion with
her at some point because it's happening all the time.
What would you say/do?
Click HERE for the photo site of some great cards that were shared at one of Charlotte's past meetings! Thanks to Margot for posting these originally!
I'd love for us to share with each other what we or our family members do that might be of service to others in the group. This does not have to be stamp related. For
instance, if your husband makes widgets that help strap your children into their kitchen chairs, then post that here, etc.... that way if one of us might need a widget, rather than go to www.widget.com we can call your husband.
List what you/they do, how to contact, etc. Please be brief but give enough detail so we'll know what's what!
You may comment here as many different items as you wish as, just make sure it's here in this classifed post. Just like the classified section of the newspaper. If
there are two in our group that offer similar services, well, just do what's right.
Please do not add replies here that say, "Wendy Widget, please call me about
purchasing your husband's widgets". If you need a service, read the "ad" and then contact that person directly OFF the site. Questions? Please e- mail me. The only reason you should reply to this is if you are posting your own classified ad.
Success in any area of life is not a happening; it is knowledge and behavior working together to create a clearly defined direction. Here are the demands of success and tips to help you achieve your personal success.
S—Stability. When you lack stability, you are always second-guessing yourself. That weakens your desire.
U—Unshakable Commitment. Any improvement you want for your life will be tested. If your commitment isn’t strong, you will get lost on the detours.
C—Consistent Evaluation. Correction will inevitably need to be made. If you don’t periodically pause and evaluate where you are, your wrong turns will become dead ends.
C—Correct Choices. Your choices create your direction. This means each decision cannot be a guess; it must be the result of information and right questions.
E—Education. You can only go as far as your mental sight can take you. When you are not learning, you create roadblocks.
S—Staying Focused. Staying focused is the real challenge. The roadside is filled with things that look like they can save you time and energy, but most of them are there to keep you from staying on the right path.
S—Strong Organization. This is the result of all the above added together. Your organization is the visual definition of your desire to succeed. Being organized is one of the main ingredients to success!
