WHY the Smiley? Lots of people ask us “What in the heck does a SMILEY FACE have to do with Credit Card Processing and why does everything TMC does, have a Smiley attached to it?”- we love the question and here is the simple answer. MOST business owners do not find JOY in working with their credit card processor- in fact, quite the opposite! So when we decided to take care of businesses and their processing needs, we knew we had to be different. The SMILEY FACE sends a certain message: We are glad to see you, hear you, work with you and to be of service. We CARE about you and we will do everything we can to put a smile on your face. Credit card processing is one of the products we provide but Taking Care of People and delivering a SMILE WORTHY experience is who we are and WHY we do what we do.

The Day You Stopped Fighting Your Checkout

    It’s 8:02 a.m. The doors just opened, the first customer walks in, and your point-of-sale system already froze. Again. You give it the “come on, don’t do this to me” tap, but it’s not having it. Behind you, your barista is asking for change, your manager needs a password, and someone’s trying to pay for a $3 coffee with a watch.   You didn’t open a business to fight with technology. You opened it to serve people.   And that’s where Clover changes everything. Finally. Checkout That Moves as Fast as You Do Clover isn’t another piece of tech to babysit. It’s your business wingman; fast, reliable, and ready wherever work happens. Clover Flex is your “grab-and-go” hero, a handheld powerhouse that takes chip, tap, or

When Life Tests the Teacher

  There comes a point in every growth journey when life crosses its arms, tilts its head, and asks,“Do you really believe what you teach?”   I’ve spent years reading, writing, and creating tools about personal development. I’ve stood on stages encouraging people to expect, embrace, and employ change- to trust that every disruption carries a divine invitation to grow. I’ve coached others to find gratitude in the middle of the storm.   And then life decided to hand me my own syllabus.   Suddenly, every principle I’d ever learned or written stared me down. Do you really trust the process? Do you believe in purpose when your heart’s breaking? Will you practice gratitude when it feels like loss has the last word?   The truth is, theory

Road Trips, Forgotten Bags, and Finding Gratitude in the Unexpected

Great morning, friends! If you know me, you know I love to share my road trip lessons, and my recent trip to California was no exception. It started with a glorious sunset Thursday night, which led to me staying up way too late. That set the stage for my very first lesson of the trip the next morning…The Forgotten Bag I arrived at the airport, smiling and chatting with a few people as we deplaned. It was such a nice day, so I decided to walk over to Terminal A to grab my rental car.Everything was smooth sailing… until I opened the back door to put in my luggage. That’s when it hit me.No luggage.I had left my bag in the overhead bin on the plane.   Gratitude in ActionI

The Real Cost of Credit Card Processing (and Why It Matters This Season)

Pumpkin spice lattes and packed shopping carts are a sign of the season, but they also mean one thing for business owners: more credit card transactions. And when transaction volume spikes, so do the fees.   Here’s the challenge: the cost you were quoted for processing often isn’t the cost you actually pay. The difference between what you expect and what shows up on your statement is what we call the real cost of credit card processing. A Story You Might Recognize A sales rep promises a “low rate.” You sign on. But by the time holiday receipts come in, your statement is packed with extra line items: gateway fees, monthly minimums, PCI charges, “miscellaneous” costs. Suddenly, the bargain isn’t such a bargain anymore. That’s why smart business
