They say that a journey begins with a single step and that you cannot get where you’re going unless you know where you are or where you come from. Well this week, our blog and our FaceBook posts will talk about the origins of our industry and how we find ourselves where we are today. WHERE DID TMC COME FROM: Our company was founded TWENTY years ago- after having a very difficult time finding anyone who seemed to care about our business and the ability to accept credit cards. We received tons of mailings, lots of phone calls and we were inundated with information. (Sound familiar!!) We could not find a person or a company that cared enough to explain the industry to us. We could not find

Wherever You Are, Be There by Jim Rohn One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create a unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being. While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.

She always has a smile and she always makes me feel as if my toes are the most important (and most beautiful ) that she will work on that day. She is an artist and has bedazzled my toes with flowers, snowflakes, hearts and Seahawks- just to name a few. But she did something last week that reminded me of another important element of delivering Above & Beyond service- SHE TOLD ME NO! As I sat in the chair- a bit stunned by her insistence, I realized that part of

With tax day behind us, it seemed appropriate to take a look at another tax issue that can cause fiscal harm to your business. Being aware of how reporting your merchant activity to the IRS can impact your business, will help you prevent the government from having a reason to dip into your account.
