I love scrapbooking; laughs of joy, cries of sadness, memories all worth picturing, gathering and remembering. Memories are gifts that are given to you. It’s not obvious at the time, in that moment or two, when it’s passing you by. A scrapbook is a reminder of all the memories that have been imprinted on my mind. All the special people friends, and family that have a unique place in my history will never be forgotten…

And now you can create a digital scrapbook in 5 minutes using Send Out Cards and every page will be different. What a fast and easy way to create a memorial Christmas present. It is so simple and if you would like to know more, please contact me by phone at 720-890-8760 or email at jeanettemcvoy@opriusmail.com and I will show you how. It is so much fun and your shopping can be finished in minutes.

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
Let Us Be As Thankful…
Let us be as thankful as
The pilgrims at their feast.
Embrace our families and our friends.
Be kind to man and beast.
Let us share the harvest and as we go our way,
Be thankfully rejoicing on this, Thanksgiving Day.

Greeting cards are now high tech! The Send Out Cards system now allows you to upload a video and put it in a card just like a photo.

Here’s how it works. You upload your video by putting the YouTube URL in the photo upload tool. The system creates a QR code and shortened URL that you can drag and drop into your card just as you would with a photo. Here’s the outside

Rusty & Daisy in the snow

Here is the inside of the card showing the QR code to scan with your smart phone to watch the video.  You can also type the shortened URL into any browser and watch it that way too.

Give it a try.  If the QR code is too small for you to scan online, see what you would see on your phone by going to http://mysocvideo.com/i03l5y

I grew up on a farm in NE Colorado and got interested in nursing at a young age because I helped take care of my two brothers who were in wheelchairs with Muscular Dystrophy.

After becoming a RN, I worked as a pediatric nurse for 39 years and loved helping children and educating them and their parents on preventive health.

Although I loved taking care of patients as a nurse, I didn’t have a life. I didn’t have the time freedom I wanted to spend time with my grandkids, wasn’t being paid what I was worth, didn’t like the hours and was tired of not feeling appreciated.

I realized something needed to change. The path I was following was not going to give me the future I wanted. I needed to find something different, a “plan B” that I could believe in, that would provide the time and financial freedom I wanted.

And then I found it!

A company called Send Out Cards offers a part time home business that gave me the time to enjoy my grandchildren, build my retirement and escape the rat race.

Send Out Cards showed me how I could make money by sending cards and gifts from my computer that the company would print, address, stamp and mail for me the very next day for less than $1.00.

Getting paid to make people feel good and showing others how to do it too. How cool is that!

After only a few short years of working part time at home, I now make twice what I did as a nurse and have the time to spend two days each week with my grandkids.

Would you like to do this too? It’s actually a very simple business and I will personally help you do it. Get in touch if you are interested and I’ll show you how it all works.

Although Easter greeting cards were sent as early as 1907, the origin of the holiday dates back to ancient Anglo-Saxons festivals celebrating the arrival of spring and new offspring. Back them it was to celebrate a pagan god called Eostre, and logically the rabbit was their symbol of fertility and spring.

In the second century AD, Christian missionaries came North and used existing pagan holidays as a way to convert them to Christianity by allowing them to continue their seasonal celebrations but adding the Christian meanings gradually over time.

Prior to 325 AD, Easter was celebrated on various days of the week. After that the emperor Constantine decreed it to be on a Sunday.

The practice of delivering eggs was first recorded in Germany in the early 17th century and then brought to America by Dutch settlers in the 18th century.

The tradition of the Easter bunny delivering brightly colored eggs to good children much like Santa at Christmas started in Germany where children would build brightly colored nests and the Easter bunny would put colored eggs and small gifts the night before.

Sending an Easter greeting card has never been easier. These days you can go online, choose from 178 different cards and have one printed, addressed, stuffed, stamped and mailed the next day for about $1.00.

Easter greeting cards are available in 4 categories: cards for anyone, for kids, humorous and religious.

It may seem like a huge leap to jump from a W-2 to the life of an entrepreneur. One of the biggest leaps of faith is to have faith in you. There won’t be anybody giving you evaluations like you may be used to. Oh, there will be evaluations, just not coming in the form you expected.

And there won’t be a tidy game plan, organizational chart, operations manual or supervisor to show you the way. You make your own way. You trust your own self and your own way. You just start and you build it as you go.

Coming from corporate or moving from a j-o-b that demanded you have everything figured out before you started a project is a far cry from how many entrepreneurs operate in a more fluid way. If an emerging entrepreneur waited to have everything figured out before they started, they would never get going.

It’s a complete mind-shift to knowing the right people, tools and resources will show up when you need them. It’s faith in yourself and the Universe that you (or somebody or something) will figure it out when it is most needed. Trusting yourself and that you will get the help you need when you need it, may relieve some of the anxiety to be all-knowing before you begin. If you don’t go first, you will never know.

So start going right now in the direction your heart is taking you. Get ready, get good and get going. Know the bridge will be built as you walk. Your way will be shown as you move forward. Like a shark, just keep moving forward to stay alive. You will know if you just go.

Do you want a pet that learns just the basics (a dog who will “sit”), or are you willing to invest daily time in training your pet to be extraordinary? The same is true of a business. Do you want meager earnings, and little pleasure – or do you want to build a business that is extraordinary?

Goofy, I know, but the key point is, I learned as I went — I improvised. I did not try to figure it all out before I brought the doggies home.

And, just like a good team member, they added some new tricks of their own (unbelievable!). Your team will do as you do. You work hard, you are dedicated, you follow a daily plan, and you will be amazed when your team acts like you!

When starting a new business, you are the one who has to determine what your ultimate goal is for your business and set a daily schedule that you absolutely adhere to.

Are you a part timer who is happy with a one trick pony? Or, are you determined to have a rich business that is built slowly over time with much dedication? It is possible to have a business that will give you riches and pleasure beyond your wildest dreams.

Some people just aren’t ready for a new pet or a new business — and others will find the greatest rewards in business and pet ownership. Which one are you?

One of the principles of wealth building is to create a business that you own that produces passive income. The goal is to go from being a W2 employee working for someone else to being an entrepreneur fully engaged in owning your own business.

Do you have what it takes?

• Do you have the right self-motivation to be an entrepreneur?
• Are you a good decision maker?
• Is your drive strong enough to maintain the stamina it takes to run a business?
• Do you have financial security to take a risk?

Let’s look at two types of business, both requiring a commitment, but at different levels

The MLM or Network Marketing Company

The start up costs and few for a network marketing company are usually less than five hundred dollars. Network marketing companies usually have low minimum monthly volume requirements There is no employees with a network marketing company and you can choose your own hours. In a network marketing company you can leverage the efforts of hundreds or thousands of people to create substantial monthly passive income. In fact, network marketing companies are ideal for part-time work as you transition from your old job to your new business

The Franchise or Business

With a franchise there are start up costs and fees that an be anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Franchises have on going monthly royalties. Franchises usually require one or more employees and long work weeks. It is a very difficult as an owner to work part-time in a franchise. With a new business, finding a niche market can be challenging. This is not something that can be taught and can only be learned by experience

Both types of opportunities can be very rewarding financially. The key is in understanding yourself, your abilities and the learning curve you face.

Be realistic about the time you can spend in a new endeavor. Know your strengths when it comes to building and leading a team.

Think about your personal business psychology.

• Are you someone who can handle rejection and setbacks?
• Do you work well with other people?
• Are you motivated enough to work alone or do you prefer a team environment?
• Are you prepared to make personal sacrifices in order to succeed?

Be realistic about your expectations and the commitment you can make to a new business. Sit down with family and friends and discuss your ideas. Listen to their feedback without judging. Draft a plan for your 6-month, one year, three year, and five year goals before making any decisions to start. Remember, patience and careful planning are key to your success.

Do you know what a customer is worth? By that, I don’t mean the value of a single sale, but rather the ongoing value of their business and the value of their referrals over time.

This is called your “lifetime customer value”.

So, why is this important?

Because you probably underestimate the value of your customers and focus too much on finding new ones instead of making sure you keep those you already have.

In fact, a survey done by marketing guru, Dan Kennedy, showed that the largest single reason businesses lose customers is because the customer does not feel their business is appreciated.

An amazing 68% of all lost customers are lost for this reason alone.

We all know that it is far less costly to keep a customer than to find a new one, but we still tend to take our customers for granted and focus on finding new ones.

Why do we do this?

For most of us, it’s too time consuming or costly to call each of our customers every month, take them to lunch or otherwise show them we appreciate them.

Once you understand the concept of “lifetime customer value”, you can then see how important it can be to stay in touch and build those personal relationships that can last for years.

When you send people personal notes of appreciation with no other agenda or commercial messages, you will shock and impress them.

Send birthday cards, thank people for taking the time to meet with you, thank them for an order, thank them for a referral, send “nice to meet you” notes to people you just met, and more.

In fact, look for reasons and ways to appreciate your customers on a personal level and it will come back to you many times over because no one else does it.

Whether you do this manually yourself or whether you use an automated system like we have available doesn’t matter – just make sure you do it!
