It's ONLY an "I Am" Moment when you get the
fact that YOU become the Moment when you
use "I Am" before your dreams and desires.
Although the "I Am" statement has been around
a long time, since the beginning of Time in fact,
it was Kody Bateman, Visionary, Inspirational
Leader and author of "Promptings" that "Inspired"
an entire company to Speak their "I Am" precisely
and with conviction.
Who Am I?
I Am what I believe.
Therefore, I Am EVERYTHING that I want to BE.
I Am what I choose.
Therefore, I choose to Take My Own Path whatever
that may BE.
I Am a Success.
Therefore, I can teach success to anyone who
possesses successful qualities.

And...

I Am brilliant, gorgeous, bold and ever so HUMBLE :-)
That's what makes me who I AM!!!

What's a TER???
If you are in SendOutCards, then you
know all about Treat Em Right Seminars.
But, if you're not, or if you are just
newly exposed to the SendOutCards culture,
then you might ask...
What's a Treat Em Right?
I attended my very first Treat Em Right Seminar
in September of 2005
There were 63 people in attendance and I still
remember it like it was yesterday.
It was a SPECIAL Time.
We got to meet Kody up front and close and
do some really cool things that aren't easy to
do with a large audience.
We sent a card together.
Everyone in attendance would help
create the card. It was way cool.
Back then we sent an "Unexpected Card" EVERY Day.
But, as we grew, EVERYONE started "Expecting" them,
so it changed to sending a Heartfelt card EVERYDAY.
So, now we send an "Unexpected Heartfelt" card EVERYDAY :-)
Whenever anyone receives a card that isn't expected,
it's a good day!!!
Our commonality in SendOutCards is that we ALL believe.
We ALL Believe it's IMPORTANT to send out our
"Feelings of Gratitude"
Treat Em Rights have grown and today people all over
the world get to hear the story of how Kody's brother
Chris was killed in a freak electrical accident and how
Kody grieved with guilt for ignoring a prompting to say
good bye to him when he left home to begin his career.
His loss was the prompting for SendOutCards.
That message is still the "heart" of our company and it is
experienced at the Treat Em Right.
Make it a goal to let this experience change how you
live your life.

Finding TIME
Today is the first day after Daylight Saving
and it still weighs heavy on my mind that
somewhere over the weekend, I lost an hour.
Some might say, come on, did it really impact
you that much?
Why not just go to bed an hour earlier?
I know all these things, but my inner clock
knows that it’s been fooled and it’s not ready
to play along yet.
Even though it’s Monday at 9, my brain still
thinks it’s 8 and as long as it does, it is
a constant reminder that I lost an hour.
It’s given me pause to think...
Just exactly what is an hour worth in your Life?
What did you have to give up to lose that hour?
Was it a book you didn’t get to read?
Was it a gym class you had to re-schedule?
Was it your home-based business plan
that you had to abandon?
Most people never stop for 60 seconds to see
just how long 60 minutes really is.
It’s long enough to do just about all the
things that are required to do the Basics.
In fact, 60 minutes is about the only time
that is required to consistently do something
everyday that will benefit you, your family
and your business.
It’s NOT a Lot of Time.
It just won’t work if you lose that hour
every day and don’t find a way to re-capture it.
Do you know where your Time is going?
What does “one” hour mean to you?
Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Honestly
Honestly, do you ever wonder if you
are really on the "right course" when
every thing seems to move in 2 speeds...
Slow and Reverse?
I don't care if you are building a
business in SendOutCards or another direct sales
company, or whether you are a real estate
agent, plumber or the owner of a bookstore.
Being an Entrepreneur requires 2 basic
Truths...
It takes TIME and it takes WORK
And...
Sometimes it takes a long time
and sometimes it takes a LOT of work.
Honestly, have you ever met a "Success
Story" that really happened overnight?
Every success story I've ever read has been
about someone who wanted something really bad
and worked really hard to get it.
Every day we hear stories of these
remarkable people who are living their
dream with nothing more than "raw"
passion to fuel their trip.
How long does it take?
Honestly...
It really depends on your Dream.
Little dreams can be planted and grown
very quickly because they are small and
containable.
BIG Dreams on the other hand require a
different mindset.
They require planning.
They need BIG roots.
They need to withstand the harsh elements
and stay FIRM in their resolve.
They require consistent attention
and cultivation.
But honestly...
We all know that Dreams DO Come True.
Dream BIG or Dream Small
Just Dream again, that's All

What's Security?
There isn't a lot of it around these days
and a recent headline stating "Social Security
is on Life Support" sure put a scare in
a lot of folks who are counting on that
retirement benefit.
Security is a "Feeling" and if you don't
have it, you feel pretty rotten.
I've been an entrepreneur most of my life
and I used to feel insecure every now and
again that I might fail and that I might not
have a back up plan if I do.
Guess what?
I did fail...a LOT.
But...each failure was a lesson in what
not to do and with enough lessons, I
learned pretty quickly what to do.
With each new lesson I began to realize
that the insecurity of entrepreneurship was
frighteningly less scary than the insecurity
of having a job.
Security has undergone a re-definition and a lot of
people feel that being in control of your own economic
survival is the NEW Security.
I'm guessing that it will always be a good idea
to keep a job if you have one but beginning a
home-based business today can go a long way
in re-placing that Social Security income that
might not be so "secure" in your future.
Having MORE Security does a Heart Good.
Begin your back up plan TODAY.

Opportunity is Knocking at Your Door
Knock, Knock
Whose there?
Opportunity
Opportunity Who?
Opportunity for YOU.
Have you ever wondered if there is
real opportunity in SendOutCards?
Sure, everyone knows that SOC is
a GREAT greeting card and gift program,
but...
What makes it such a GREAT Opportunity?
Did you know that the Greeting Card
and Gift business is a MULTI-BILLION
dollar industry?
And, as our economy forces people to tighten
their belts smaller and smaller, more people
than ever are looking for Low Cost Solutions for
marketing, advertising and customer appreciation.
This market alone opens up MORE Opportunity
than an average person could handle in a
lifetime.
But...
The REAL Opportunity lies in Development.
Think about it...
Hallmark's success is not in the sale of
just greeting cards and gifts.
It's in the sale of Franchises all over the world.
And, the Cost???
$ 250,000 to $500,000 just to start.
SendOutCards offers the same Opportunity at
a fraction of that cost.
The Rewards however are equally as great.
Think about it...
Opportunity is Knocking...Answer the Door!!!

I Have a Dream
Martin Luther King is identified with
this quote and for empowering the
world to have a Dream.
But…
Two generations later many people have misplaced
their Dream, or it has been replaced by the Nightmare
of Unemployment, Uncertainty and Unrest.
Many have been paralyzed by Fear and are
unable to re-awaken the Belief in themselves and
their ability to Make it Happen.
This is merely Stage 2 of the Grieving Process.
Anger and Fear are twin sisters and the Loss of a
Dream is like the Loss of a Child.
But…
It is possible to Dream again and even more
importantly to “Take Action” and not wait for
somebody else to make it right.
I have a Dream…
I’ve had one ever since I first saw Network Marketing
and realized that if I took control of my own life, I
might not suffer the fate of those who would be
displaced by the unknown.
I have a Dream…
A Dream to work with ONLY the BEST.
People like myself who are willing to put in the effort
to make the Dream happen.
Not everyone can, but those who do will have
accomplished something that MOST cannot.
They will LIVE their DREAM.
Are you ready to Dream again?
I have a Dream…
You can be a part of that Dream if you
are Ready???
Keep the Dream Alive!!!
