New Years Bring New Adventures!
by BeckiI saw this quote recently and absolutely loved the spirit of it. Negativity and positivity are both contagious. Choose which one you want to get infected by!

A Wonderful Resolution for the New Year!
What amazing gifts the new year brings!
An entire year’s worth of wonderful opportunities,
given to us one sunrise at a time.
Many of the moments ahead will be marvelously disguised as ordinary days, but each one of us has the chance to make something extraordinary out of them.
Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life.
The secret of success is in turning that diary
into the best story you possibly can.
Have pages on understanding and tales of overcoming hardships.
Fill your story with enthusiasm, adventure, learning, and laughter.
And make each chapter reflect time doing these things:
Follow your dreams. Work hard. Be kind. Do what you can to make the door open on a day that is filled with inspiration in some special way.
Remember: Goodness will be rewarded. Smiles will pay you back. Have fun. Find strength. Be truthful. Have faith.
Don’t focus on anything you lack. Realize that people are the treasures in life, and happiness is the real wealth.
Have a diary that describes how you’re doing your best, and…the rest will take care of itself.

Greeting Card Company Bail Out?
by BeckiWith all the news of bail-outs recently, I had to laugh when I saw this press release from our company in talking about how our greeting card company offers late card senders a “bail out” to save time and money!
Greeting Card Company, SendOutCards.com, Poised to Bail Out More Than 41
Million Americans This Holiday Season
SendOutCards.com Offers Home-Based Solution To Holiday Procrastination: Long
Lines, Brutal Traffic, And Unforgiving Winter Weather Are Now Ghosts Of
Christmas Past
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ — With less than two weeks till
Christmas, the National Retail Federation (NRF) has informed America that it
is indeed a nation of procrastination. In a December 16th survey, the
non-profit (NRF) announced that only 8% of Americans had finished their
shopping, and a shocking 41 million have yet to even start.
The good news — those who waited till the last minute can now erase the hurry-worry with a
trip to SendOutCards.com.
With SendOutCards, shoppers won’t need to hunt down a parking space or
even start the car. Five years ago, this tech-savvy greeting card company set
out to make sending a card or gift as easy as sending an e-mail. Today, a
quick visit to the website allows users to do just that in as little as 60
seconds.
Once signed up and logged into SendOutCards.com, three things become
immediately apparent:
1) There are more card designs than one might ever use (13,000+)
2) An array of endless customization options
3) Sending a card and gift is quick and incredibly easy
Test Drive the First Sub 60-Second Greeting Card and Gift
A visit to the Greeting Card homepage reveals a well organized list of
card categories from ‘Holidays and Occasions’ to ‘Birthdays’.
With two clicks of the mouse, more than 500 Christmas and holiday Cards are immediately on
display. If 500 holiday Cards isn’t a large enough inventory, not to worry.
For a small fee, SendOutCards will even create a unique, original design upon
request.
After selecting the perfect card, SendOutCards then leads you through a
number of customizing tools, offering everything from the addition of personal
photos to the replication of your own handwriting and signature.
“We are constantly searching for new ways to make each card as personal as
possible,” says Kody Bateman, CEO and founder of SendOutCards. “Our new custom
handwriting fonts make each card specific to the individual sending it, which
adds a little extra touch that people appreciate.”
This unique handwriting and signature feature is incredibly accurate, and
created by simply filling out a paper form and sending it in. SendOutCard’s
team then uploads the submission to create your very own font.
More Than Just a Greeting Card — It’s a Gift
For those feeling extra generous this holiday season, SendOutCards even
offers the option to include a present with the card. Items available span
from baked goods to gift-cards, each packaged personally with ribbon and a bow
by a SendOutCard employee. Forget to send someone a gift before Christmas?
Don’t worry, SendOutCards offers the service year round.
SendOutCards continues to focus on the minute details of holiday giving,
ensuring every package leaving their office is as genuine as the person
sending it. So this holiday season go ahead, enjoy more time with friends and
family and less stress at the stores — delivered courtesy of

A network marketing company on the move for 2009!
by BeckiIt’s so neat to see a good company continue to grow and do amazingly well. Here are some stats from the greeting card company that I love and recommend -
DID YOU KNOW?
During the month of December we sent over 2,870,807 cards? Our largest day for December, which was our largest day ever, we sent over 271,852 cards! In 2008, we printed, stuffed, stamped, and put over 10,751,341 cards in the mail! That’s over 4.5 MILLION more than we sent in 2007!
In 2004 we printed just over 150,000 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!
WHAT’S THE POTENTIAL?
I was taking a walk with a good friend of mine on New Years Day. He is the owner of another Network Marketing company. I watched him build a team of over 250,000 distributors in his last company.
We were playing with some numbers and figured out that there are just over 60,000 distributors that have signed up with our company since day 1. We know that 70% or more of them just signed up to use it and aren’t actually building a network marketing business.
We know that many of the 60,000 have done zero gift accounts and others have done as many as 2-300. Let’s assume that all 60,000 have each done on average 10 Gift Account Walk-Throughs. This means that approximately 600,000 people have sent a card on our greeting card system.
In other words, of the 300 MILLION people in the US, less than 700,000 people have sent a card! We have a lot of work to do! And you can see that the opportunity is stronger than ever for someone just getting started!
It’s rare and exciting to be part of a company with a unique, fun product that is priced lower than the market price and has a track record and history of success. Innovation and a popular product that people use every day with a unique and fun delivery method are two elements of an opportunity that is recession-proof!
