Now how does this relate to the topic of a Home Based Greeting Card Business you ask? We all have the opportunity to blow someone away, bring tears to their eyes, or astound them by the depth of our soul by sending them a card. Simply send a card to someone who is important to you and speak from your heart and see what happens. In fact, if you do this every day – just one card a day – I suggest the results will astound you. By having my own Home Based Business where I help others send cards from their computer, cards that show up in the mail, with a stamp, I help people – every day – make a difference in their life and in the lives of others.

How about we all send Susan a card to tell her how inspiring she is, to motivate her, or simply say Thank You? Anyone have a mailing address for Susan Boyle? If so, please reply. Be sure it’s a SNAIL MAIL address.

Remember Dale Carnegie? He’s probably best known for his massive bestseller “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Dale Carnegie was quite an influence in my family when I was growing up. My dad went through the basic course as a young adult and never stopped talking about it for the rest of his life. My mom was a huge proponent and wonderful example of one who lived the principles shared by Dale Carnegie. I have followed their footsteps by participating in and assisting at several different courses.

I was happy to come across this little video today – it’s a great pick me up. You can’t help but feel good when absorbing these wonderful quotes and principles. Enjoy!

Having your own home-based business….. a greeting card business. It’s a terrific business to be in since we send greeting cards to express happiness and joy and good tidings. The majority of times when people send out cards to others, they are doing so because they care about them and want to wish them well or at least let them know they’re being remembered. Seeing a greeting card in the mail creates a good feeling.

That’s what I appreciate most about this business. It’s a feel good business. I’m in the business of helping people learn how to – and share how to – make others feel good! This business has been a perfect fit for me as I feel it’s important to put good out into the world and help others do the same.

So if you’re in the market for a home based business and one that can positively impact the lives of *MANY* you might want to take a close look at this one.

My home based greeting card business is one that makes it so easy and affordable for us to send out cards, that we’re inspired to send many more than with traditional methods for buying and sending out cards. I share with people how they can have a card in the mail, with a stamp, in their own handwriting, in a couple of minutes – for less than $1. Hard to believe? Try it out for yourself! Just click on the gray bar on the upper right corner of this blog “GIVE ME MY FREE ACCOUNT AND PLAN”. At the very least you can send a heartfelt card to someone you care about, on me, no strings attached.

Leave me a comment below about a time someone sent you a card and it made you feel good, or a time you sent someone a card and they told you about how good it made them feel. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Today I received a heartwarming email from someone I have never met. In fact, I never knew Lawrence existed until about a week ago.

Let me share my story:

When I was five years old I spent a month in England with my grandmother. We went to visit my uncle (her son) who was stationed there in the Army. We met lots of people and one couple, whom I have corresponded with ever since. Well, the husband, “Uncle” Stanley, passed on a few years ago and the woman, “Aunt” Joyce, passed on a couple of weeks ago. My uncle was asked to fly to the UK to conduct her memorial service, so she has been very close with him all these years. My uncle shared an email from Joyce’s nephew, Lawrence, with details of her service, etc. His mailing address was included in the email, so I sent him a card…. telling him how I met Joyce and Stanley when I was five, how she sent me treats and magazines as a child (very cool coming from the UK) and ALWAYS a Christmas card. In the later years of his life, Stanley took up oil painting. My brother has his very first painting hanging in his living room. So I told Lawrence how dear Joyce was and although I had not seen her in over 40 years – I loved our connection. I had a photo of her from my uncle that I included in the card. If I did not have the program I use to send greeting cards from my computer (that show up in the mail with a real stamp, mind you), I would probably not have sent a card to Lawrence. Of course I should have, but as I said, I never knew Lawrence, so I may not have thought it worth the time to go out and buy a card, write it, address it, print the photo, then go out again, to the post office – because who knows how much it would cost to send my card to the UK. Today I received the most wonderful email from Lawrence in response to my card. When I travel to the UK, I will look him up. This is why I think EVERYONE needs to have a way to send greeting cards that’s easy, personalized and affordable. It makes it possible for us to stay connected with others in ways we would not, otherwise. I was thrilled to have made a heartfelt contribution to Lawrence and his family – and touched to receive such a lovely message from someone I have yet to meet.

Why a greeting card business?

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

William James

One of the basic needs that people strive for in their lives is a sense of being appreciated. It may seem like a very simple and easy thing to do, but showing appreciation for others can have a dramatic impact on your relationship with them. Sending a greeting card is a good way to accomplish this. We all know the feeling of finding an unexpected card in our mailbox. That’s the piece of mail that always gets opened first.

When we send out a heart-felt card to someone else, it makes us feel good, too. Do yourself a favor and send someone a greeting card and make their day. There doesn’t have to be a reason, or a special occasion – just letting someone know that you acknowledge and appreciate them will do wonders for both of you.

The typical difficulty we have is making time to buy, write, stamp and mail the card. So, a simple and easy way to show our appreciation becomes a difficult task that hardly ever gets done. This is why the “Happy Belated Birthday” card exists. Because of this common human difficulty, many business owners, sales people and “card senders” really appreciate anything that will help them send the cards they know they should be sending out.

Cards are usually sent for weddings, anniversaries, “get well” wishes, thank you’s, birthdays and holidays. And, we can all find many other less obvious occasions where sending a greeting card will dramatically improve our relationship with someone important to us or to our business. These can include a thank you from a salesperson to a prospect after a sales presentation, a thank you from a job applicant to the interviewer, a thank you from a realtor to an open house attendee, and an unexpected note of love or encouragement from one friend to another.

Thanks to technological innovation, a new online service gives us the power to create a card with just a few clicks of a mouse that gets printed, stuffed in an envelope, stamped with a real stamp and put in the mail for us. The amazing part is that it’s cheaper than sending a store bought card, and the cards are high quality with a glossy-coated finish. You can even put your own digital photos on the front cover or inside the cards. For more info about this service, click here.
