Christie Daugherty Manager Tyler, Texas Christie Daugherty attended Convention 2005 shortly after she joined Stampin’ Up! As she watched cruise achievers march across Main Stage, she told herself, “If they can do this, so can I.” She set her sights on earning Cruise 2007, and she worked determinedly through the year. Her efforts paid off, and she set sail for Panama in April. Her hard work brought her another reward—she attended Founder’s Circle because she placed number two in Rising Star. Not only did Christie start out strong—she had $1,000 in sales from her first workshop—she continued that way. She holds two to three classes and workshops a week, and she runs four clubs. She’s strong in sales but equally adept at recruiting. Last year, she signed up 16 new demonstrators! The key to her success is simple: love what you do. “I love rubber stamping, and I love learning new techniques and trying out new ideas.” At one event, her customers made recipe file boxes by covering a metal box with Weathered Timeworn Collection paper and stamping it with the Best of Cluck set. She invited her customers to bring their favorite recipes, and they swapped recipes and ate together. The Statement of the Heart rings true for her. “If you’re excited and love what you do, others will be inspired.” Awards • Rising Star (2) Jennifer Bailey Manager Itasca, Illinois Weeks before Convention 2006, Jennifer Bailey’s group—and Jennifer herself—had high hopes that she would be one of this year’s Rising Stars. Needless to say, Jennifer anxiously anticipated the start of convention. She admits, “The flight to convention was the longest I’d ever had. I wasn’t really nervous until I arrived. My heart was pounding. I was so excited. I found out I’d won an award but wasn’t sure which one.” Once she found out she was a Rising Star, she says, “I screamed and jumped up and down. It was a wonderful feeling.” During a group meeting last September, Jennifer caught the vision of what she could accomplish. “When I saw all the cruise achievers come up, I decided right there and then that I wanted to make this happen for me.” She says, “Earning cruise was my goal, and anything else was just icing on the cake.” And what sweet icing the Rising Star award is for Jennifer! Nothing motivates her more than achievement and recognition. Working hard and trying to keep balance is the key for Jennifer. She’s made her goal for this coming year to successfully support her downline. And to any new recruit she offers this advice, “Anyone can do it! Change the way you look at yourself, Stampin’ Up!, and your business!” Awards • Rising Star (4) Spotlight On... Artwork © 1990–2007 STAMPIN’ UP! All rights reserved. Stampin’ Up!®
