Hope this helps
For Christmas my Mom gave me a book ~ "How to Soar Like An Eagle in a World Full of Turkeys" by Robert Stevenson and I really recommend it. It's funny, informative, encouraging and honest.
Here is some facts taken from the chapter Achievement - Failure. When I get really, really frustrated and think "If I get one more "no", I'm going to scream" I can read this chapter, breathe through my nose and press on.
Hope this helps you during those frustrating moments as well.
*A recording company that turned down the Beatles in 1962 stated: "We don't think they will do anything in their market. Guitar groups are on their way out."
*In the mid 1800's the head of the Patent Office in Washington recommended the Patent Office should be closed, because everything that could have been invented had already been invented.
*Beethoven's teacher called him a hopeless composer.
*Albert Einstein's teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift in foolish dreams."
*R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.
*Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but also hit 714 home runs. (my personal favorite)
*Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas.
*An expert once said of Vince Lombardi: "He possesses minimal football knowledge and lacks motivation."
*The testing director for MGM in 1933 wrote the following memo about Fred Astaire's first screen test: "Can't act! Slightly bald! Can dance a little." Mr. Astaire kept the memo over the fireplace in his home.
Have a great day pressing on!

New to Pitchmen
As the clock ticks down to the much anticipated premier of Pitchmen Season Two it has been announced that the very talented Jennifer Crawford has joined the team!
Jennifer's resume is a mile long with exciting TV experience such as being a spokeswoman for no! no! hair removal, working on HSN, seen on Fox 13, a seasoned interviewer, a powerful force of Maven Management and a heart of gold working with several charities around the world.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
When I auditioned for Pitchmen in Las Vegas, I had the privilege of seeing Jennifer work her magic, interviewing inventors at the Pitch To The Pro's livemercial booth.
Jennifer's energy is as contagious as her smile but don't just take my word for it! Just Google her name and a laundry list of appearances and accomplishments is right there on the front page!
Also, You Tube has her demo reel and more information about Maven Management. If you are a twitter fan, you can follow Jennifer on twitter.com/MavenManagement.
Jennifer Crawford...a name and a face we will be seeing much more of!

Grandpa's Plant
8 years ago my Grandfather died and after his funeral I brought home one of the Peace Lillys that was up on the podium at the funeral home.
Now taking care of a plant is quite a task for me because I can not, no matter what, keep a plant alive and I was absolutely terrified of killing my Grandpa's plant. I felt that if I kept this Peace Lilly alive, a part of him would be with me, here on earth.
I have been know for spending quite a bit of money on house plants over the years with the high hopes of keeping them beautiful (I love the look of live plants in a home) only to drag them out to the end of the drive way a month later.
So I have resigned myself to plastic plants convincing myself that they DO look real, don't they?!
But my Grandpas plant...it's still alive eight years later and this has taught me something very important.
If you want something bad enough, even though you have failed time and time again, if you work for what you want, have confidence that you are competent, you CAN make it happen.
I like to think of this as a little life lesson from my Grandpa.

There's a new Pitchwoman in town
Let me paint the picture for you...
A crowd of women in Chicago fill a conference room waiting to audition for a new reality show. They are all inventors. They are all dreamers. And they are all driven.
I am first in line and while I am sitting with my Husband waiting to pitch my Everything Marinator I see this adorable woman dragging a stationary bike with her.
My Husband and I play a quick game of "what is her invention".
At that point I get called in to pitch my EM and I never see the adorable woman or her bike again.
When I return home, my blog is frequented by another WI. A pretty blond who posts under the name Jen C.
Over time Jen C. takes us on the journey of Womentorz. A website created by....that adorable woman I saw dragging her bike. A website that specializes in selling Woman's Inventions. A website that is ahead of it's time and right on time!
Like so many things in life, things happen for a reason but I never would have guessed that 7 months later I would be working with these two wonderful women, Jen and Melinda.
I am so happy to announce that I am the official Pitchwoman for Womentorz!
I will be outlining exactly what I will be offering soon but in the meantime, I have already exercised my pitching chops! Today I brought Womentorz a multi-million dollar company that will be selling their product on their site! Melinda and Jen will be announcing the company shortly.
I feel so blessed to be a part Womentorz and to be working with these two wonderful Ladies!
To read Womentorz blog, you can find it here on blogger and to follow them on twitter, go to http://www.twitter.com/Womentorz. To purchase and/or sell visit http://www.womentorz.com and of course, if you need a Pitchwoman, I've got the pitch you've been looking for!
