Stamping Is My Business!

Last-minute Tax Reminder

Just a quick note to remind you today is the last day of the calendar year.  That means, today is also the last day you can purchase tax-deductible items for your business.

If you were thinking about buying a computer, another piece of hardware (such as a printer) or even a piece of software (such as MDS or Quicken), purchasing it online today allows you to deduct it from your 2009 business profits, even if you don't receive the actual package until 2010.

Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year's Eve!

Merry Christmas!

My wife, Liz, my son, John, and I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

How To Write One Newsletter Article... And Have Access To Over Thirty!

The Business Stampers Coaching Group Newsletter Co-Op is in full swing!  Over 30 BSCG Members have joined the Co-op so far and received their article assignments for their January newsletters.

Once they submit their article to the Co-op, they'll have access to over 30 other articles to pick and choose from for their newsletters!

And each of the articles are 'information,' not 'solicitation.'  That means Co-op Members are going to be able to achieve that important 65-35 info/solicitation split we always talk about with minimal effort!

Also, since so many people are participating in the Co-op, with so many articles to choose from each month, everyone's newsletter will still look different!

If you'd like to be part of the Newsletter Co-op beginning in January (for your February newsletter), all you have to do is be a Member of the Business Stampers Coaching Group, 

This is just one of the many services the BSCG offers its Members... on top of the heaping pile of other benefits!

And, right now, we're still offering the 'Free for the Rest of 2009' special!  Sign up now, and you get to try it out for free until the beginning of 2010!

Basically, every Member of the Co-op contributes just one article per month, and they then have access to the entire collection of articles to pick and choose for their upcoming newsletters!  Minimal work for maximum results!

My Gift To You... FREE BSCG FOR THE REST OF 2009!

If you've been on the fence about joining the BSCG... or if you're hearing about it for the first time and would like to check it out, I'm going to make you an offer I hope you can't refuse:

Join the BSCG free for the rest of 2009!

Sign up and give it a shot until the end of the year.  If you decide it's not for you, just let me know before the end of 2009 and that's that.  I'm pretty sure, however, that once you check it out and see the proverbial TON of content, you'll end up sticking around.
