Incredible tool for Small Business Owners

I have discovered a great new tool for small business owners. I plan on obtaining this tool to use when I am doing vendor fairs and craft shows.

So, what IS she talking about, you ask?

A small, compact, and very useful tool, called Square.

The best thing about this very useful and compact tool is that it's free. And the fees are only 2.75% per swipe of a credit card. There is no other cost to using the Square to accept credit card payments!!! NONE! And easy deposits straight to your bank account- no need to open up a paypal account to accept credit cards!!!

Transparent Pricing

• 2.75% per swipe for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and AmEx.
• Free app, free Square Card Reader and free shipping.
• No merchant account, monthly fees or set-up costs.
• Manually-entered cards cost 3.5% + 15¢ per transaction.

What I love about Square is that it works on nearly any smart phone that has a touch screen, and you can even use your Ipad as a cash register! Man, I think I may get an Ipad just for that, LOL!


But seriously, not only is the card reader a free tool to obtain and the app is free to download for your apple Iphone, Ipad, or Android smart phone, but anyone who downloads the app can create an account and not have to worry about having their credit card on them at all times! Just walk into, or up to, a merchant that is listed on your Pay with Square app, open a tab from your smart phone, and tell them to put it on your tab. The merchant will then look up your photo, and ID you by the photo, then ring you up and hit charge, and within less than a minute you get a notification on your phone that you have paid. Note: all you need to do is input your credit card information into your Square account


Not to mention  if you have any problems with your account, you will be assured that customer service is amazing and very helpful. I blogged about a recent problem I had with my Square app on one of my other blogs:  http://dailyramblingmom.blogspot.com/2012/03/square.html

So if you are a small business owner, do yourself a favor and get Square! Great tool to use for craft fairs, vendor fairs, a home party business... you name it! ;o)

I am reactivated!

With Mia Bella Candles! ;o)

I have LOVED these candles ever since I received my first Candle of the Month shipment, which was probably sometime in 2006, if I can remember right.

The best thing about Mia Bella Candles is that they are TRULY top quality. If a candle retains it's scent after 4 years, burns virtually soot free, is pleasing to the nose of someone who has severe allergies (like me), then it is TOP QUALITY, GOURMET!! :o)

Here's my proof. My last shipment was sometime in 2007. I moved that year as well, then moved again in 2009 and put all my stuff in a storage unit for 2 years. I moved again, this time to a different state, unloaded my storage and brought everything up. I just went through the box of candles that I still have, and boy oh boy I was pleasantly surprised to open the box and have all the different scents wafting up to me, smelling the same as they did the day I received my auto-ship!

I still have over 6 dozen votives in 8 different scents, 1 dozen Bella Buns that look and smell like a cinnamon bun, 1 simmer pot with 2 packages of melts in different scents, and 5 Bella Bars in 4 different scents.

When I went to the website to see what was still available, I was amazed to see all the "new-to-me" variety of candles and scents! I can't wait until I start getting my Candle of the Month shipments in April again. I am so pleased with this amazing company that I had to reactivate my distributorship and get back into the groove. :o)

Too important of a quote not to share! ;o)

Don't delay. Once you start putting off your new beginning, it keeps getting easier to put it off


more. Don't be afraid to succeed. Start striving toward your ultimate goals NOW.

Don't give up. Never, ever give up. Most entrepreneurs fail, almost all of them within the first


year. They see their business struggling to get started and instead of persevering, they quit. 


Don't be among those who quit when success is a heartbeat away. If you always believe in 


yourself and never quit trying, you will achieve your dreams.

It takes time, but you have the talent, imagination, and drive to be a successful entrepreneur. 


Reach your pinnacle of success. I know you can do it.

I am not active in my old businesses sadly, but I really want to get back into them, especially Noah's Ark.

Life threw me a nearly impossible curve-ball, and I moved down to Mexico for two years. (on top of forgetting my password to this account, LOL)

During that time, I actually opened a Cyber Cafe. If it hadn't been for shoddy internet service, we still would be open for business. Right now our computers are collecting dust- well,not entirely true, LOL, but they are sitting in a corner not being used until we can get a reliable internet service installed. Business was great, for the first 3 months we had good internet service. Anyway, that is a dream of ours to open a more permanent Cyber Cafe in a better location, and have other services available. We just need to get the reliable internet service first!

So for now, I am doing some online money making opportunities, and those I will post about in my other blog: http://dailyramblingmom.blogspot.com/

I am planning on revisiting some older posts and going back through goals and what I will or am doing to accomplish those. I have decided that 2012 will be THE YEAR. No more excuses!  :o)
