Personal Checks With Footprints In The Sand Poem

September 16, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

If you cherish the footprints in the sand poem and enjoy reading its message, then why not give it away to others to enjoy every time you write out your checks to pay bills. This is a great way to spread hope to the world and to people you wouldn’t ordinarily meet.

During these trying times in our economy, everyone could use a little hope especially the kind of hope that the footprints in the sand poem gives. It gives people that need encouragement more encouragement and also strengthens their faith in God.

Most everyone has heard about the footprints in the sand poem but many haven’t read it in a while. Just think when you write out a personal check and put it in the mail to be delivered, who knows how many people will stop and read the poem after its been opened. You’re spreading hope and helping encouraging many when you send inspirational words of encouragement like this while paying your bills at the same time.

Inspirational checks are a way to reach people all over especially on jobs. The most stressful places for the average person is at work and if you are sending your footprints in the sand poem check into retail stores or regular bill collectors, you will no doubt help someone’s day when they see your check.

Take the time to consider changing the way your personal checks look. Stop buying the same old boring standard bank checks. Consider inspirational checks that cost the same or many times are cheaper than the regular bank checks. This is a small way you can contribute to society and help lift a total strangers day by buying customized checks like the footprints in the sand poem personalized checks.

Smart Unlimited Choices For Personal Bank Checks

September 15, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

Whether you need personal or business checks, Checks Unlimited has them. Their personal checks come in side tear or top tear, always with a complimentary checkbook cover. Of course, you can also order custom covers. However you like to express yourself, you can probably find a design that depicts your hobby, a favorite interest, flower or collector’s item.

Custom designs include Harley Davidson with four different current model motorcycles and the famous Harley Davidson logo in one corner. Completing the ensemble, a matching checkbook cover and return address labels are available.

The Disney series of checks are more than just cartoon characters! Two separate series include the castles of Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) and Snow White as well as the princesses themselves. If you prefer some of the newer Disney productions, The Chronicles of Narnia and Ratatouille are available. Of course, no collection would be complete without Mickey Mouse! Minnie, Donald Duck and Pluto accompany Mickey as they cheerfully carry on your personal business. Others may wish to choose Winnie the Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods. Tinkerbell, with her saucy demeanor and four unique poses, nicely rounds out this Disney character collection.

Disney fans will also enjoy the Disney Classics series, graced by the images of Pinocchio, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Bambi and other classics we all know and love whatever age we are. The Disney Series II has 5 of the more modern classics with Lilo and Stitch, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. The vibrant colors haven’t been washed out by receding into the background, rather, they are clear and beautifully rendered to enhance rather than overwhelm.

Do you prefer Looney Tunes, Sesame Street, or Scooby-Doo? They’re all here, even Garfield! You can have all your favorite cartoon characters in your checkbook and even coordinating return address labels and checkbook covers to complete the themes.

For those who prefer a different personalization you can choose your favorite animals. The Earth Echoes series depict arctic wildlife on recycled paper. You may prefer kittens, endangered baby animals, horses, penguins, puppies or beautiful ocean life. Choose your favorite sport, flower, or household depictions. Inspirational verses, scripture (in Spanish, too!), national parks and so many other themes insure that there’s something for everyone. Checks Unlimited has something for every interest and, of course, traditional checks. A variety of typefaces, monograms, seasonal scenes, land and sea themes and even recycled paper will please even the most discriminating consumer.

One of the most recent innovations in checks is printing them by computer. Checks Unlimited provides checks with your personal or business information pre-printed and compatible with practically any software you use, at competitive prices. Checkmark, Peachtree, Microsoft and Quicken are just a few of the programs these computer checks are compatible with.

Businesses will appreciate the desk sets and 3-on-a-page checks in three ring binders. Checks Unlimited also carries forms and receipts, business cards, gift cards, retail supplies and gift certificates. The Partner and The Entrepreneur, checkbooks especially designed for the needs of busy executive, make everyday business transactions more of a pleasure than a chore.

With personal banking fraud at an all-time high, Checks Unlimited has taken precautions to protect your account and your reputation. Security features include high quality safety paper to show stains if your checks are tampered with chemically. If your check is altered through erasure a black mark will appear where the alteration was attempted. The signature line contains small type that shows as a dotted line when the check is photocopied, further discouraging fraud.

Checks Unlimited has been providing quality checks and more since 1986 when they were doing business under the name of Current Checks. They were the first major direct mail check printer in the United States. Starting with thirteen unique designs, they now feature over seventy.

Ordering checks from Checks Unlimited is simple, easy and completely safe via telephone or internet. It’s also fifty percent less than ordering checks from your banking institution. Their checks exceed American Bankers Association standards and are guaranteed able to be processed at your bank or credit union. Checks are delivered in tamper-resistant packaging right to your door.

Cash in a Flash Book Review

September 14, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

Cash In a Flash is a new book written by Mark Victor Hansen, coauthor of Chicken Soup For the Soul and Robert G. Allen, Author of Multiple Streams of Income. If you have ever wondered about what steps you need to take to make some incredible money, this is the book to read.
cash-in-a-flash

Cash In a Flash is cleverly written as two books in one. The left side of all the pages in the book is an instructional theory type of writing and the right side of all the pages in the book is a well written story of a group of people who actually put their recipe of making money into practice. Complete with drama, real life experiences and WOW stories, this part of the book is able to hold your attention as well as any CSI television show or NCIS show.

While reading the book, I kept track of some of the best things that were said and some of the most inspirational quotes. I am listing them here for your benefit, but I would highly recommend that you read the book for yourself.

32 Inspiriational Quotes From Cash In a Flash

1. For you to achieve your dreams, your dreams must be more real than your fears.

2. Money comes and goes in life, but spiritual enlightenment and self awareness last forever.

18. Sometimes in life you need to get lost to find your way.

22. The universe is a friendly place and abundance is available for everyone no matter what you might think.

23. No one mind is complete until working in harmonic purposeful relationships with others.

24. To become a great person, entrepreneur, leader, artist speaker or author, you must have a dream team.

25. TEAM stands for together everyone achieves miracles.

26. How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. – Norman Vincent Peale

27. Our problems are the doorways to our solutions.

28. My problems make me stonger, wiser and more courageous.

31. You can’t sell what you aren’t proud of. – Gary Halbert

32. Your ultimate want must be so burning, so important, of such a high priority that nothing distracts you from it.

These are just some of the inspirational quotes I liked, but you may be more attracted to the actual recipe of how to create fast cash. So many examples are given that your mind will be restless thinking about what your next money making strategy is going to be. You will find that one of the benefits of reading the book is that you will have a new outlook on life. One with renewed hope and confirmation that you are a capable person able to accomplish amazing things in life.

Blog World Expo 2009 – John Chow Challenge

September 11, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

john_chowJohn Chow has challenged me to give him reasons why I should be chosen to receive a pass to attend Blog World Expo 2009. He probably doesn’t remember meeting me at the last Blog World Expo in 2008, so I have included my extremely unflattering photograph with him. Learn about this challenge at JohnChow.com

Last year at the Blog World Expo 2008, I was totally inspired by all the talks given by the Fab Five – four of whom are shown in the photograph below (Zac Johnson, Jim Kukral, Darren Rouse and John Chow). Notice that ShoeMoney is not in the photograph shown. He must have been off networking.

Anyway, I learned so many things at the conference that helped me with my business plans and I will always be grateful for that.  I don’t really like to reveal numbers about my income levels, but since last year in September, my affiliate income has increased by 660%. My blog traffic is now getting 14,444 unique hits a month and I can live on my affiliate earnings. I owe a lot of this success to the great information that I received from the Fab Five at the Blog World Expo 08.expertbloggers

I was also recently invited to attend the Shareasale ThinkTank that is going to be held in Newport Beach, California.  Without the training that I received at the conference, I never would have been successful enough to be invited to attend. So I thank you Fab Five again. Should you consider me to receive a pass to the conference I would be so grateful. I look forward to learning much more about being successful on the Internet.
