The Square


I recently got introduced to one of the best products ever! It's called the "square." It's a device you can attach to your IPhone or Android phone to receive/collect payments via a credit card or debit card.

It's a free app you can download to your phone and after you download the app. They mail you the "square" credit card reader for free! Pretty amazing.

I recently started selling my books and several times people told me they didn't have cash or there check book. That's when I told them I take credit and debit cards too. Most people thought I was joking. It's pretty simple, I swipe a person's card. I fill out a screen with the description of the item and the price. Another screen pops up where they sign their name. Then I can e-mail or text them a copy of their receipt. Everything gets stored in a file for your personal records.

Pretty cool. The company deducts 2.75% from the price as a service fee, but it's pennies for the convenience. At the end of the week, the money gets deposited into the bank account of your choice. Got to love it!

"Fresh From the Kitchen" Not avaiable in stores!


Hello Everyone,

My new book is available!

The book "Fresh from the Kitchen: Fun and Creative Knowledge to Educate, Inspire and Entertain." is over 150 pages of stories, adventures, experiences, speeches and letters that gave me the motivation to live and achieve my dreams.

The book is written like my blog. Each chapter is a new story that provides readers with a fresh breath of inspiration. You will be inspired and motivated to live life and achieve your dreams.

You can read the book all at once, or take your time and read one story at a time as time permits. Just prepare yourself to laugh and learn at the same time.

The book will cost $15 + $3 for shipping and handling. The first 200 copies are individually numbered. I personally sign every book and include a few words of thanks and inspiration. Books can be ordered by mailing a check or money order to the address below:

Frank Kitchen Enterprises

Glendale, AZ 85308

Or e-mail me at frank@badbadapples.com and I'll send you a link where you can place a credit card or debit card order.

I am excited to share this book with all of you. THANK YOU!

I leave you with this quote from the back cover of my book!

Exciting Blogs on their way!

Hello Everyone,

It's been a very busy summer for me and Kelly. So busy, I failed to make time to post blogs. Be on the lookout for several video blogs, regular blogs and lots of pictures. We've been in 16 states this summer, logged over 6,000 miles of travel, survived one major accident, totaled one car, published one book, had tons of funny experiences, learned a lot and I got to see my dad for the first time in 20 years!

All the above will lead to lots of great reading and sharing. Be on the look out this week for the first set of blogs.

Until then, I hope everyone is staying cool this summer.

Please keep reading and thank you!
