They did not renew so I understand that my contract has ended. If this is not how your contract is I would tell you that your best bet is to go see a lawyer. Blogging and boycotting is not going to help you. In fact, trashing a company is just going to make other companies not want to work with you in the future. So if you can't relax and continue your inventing....GO SEE A LAWYER. GO. SEE. A.

It looks more like Homemade Millionaire has HURT them instead. How can Kelly, Mark, the judges on the show and HSN put their names and reputations on a show that sounds like it has devastated the inventors????? Wow!

Start blogging everywhere you can about the treatment that has happened to you and your family's future dreams. I've been watching this from the sidelines, my profession is law and you need to speak with your own counsel! I agree with the above posted anonymous, CALL CALL CALL all of the parties involved. Continue to call and call again until the phones are ringing off of the hooks! They need to supply you with answers and should NOT HOLD YOU UP FOR ANY MORE TIME! Contract holders unite and CALL YOUR LAWYERS!

I instead am writing to say nope, notta, not selected. This was the last email we got last night from EN about EE:<br />If you are selected for Everyday Edisons from the Insider Open search two things will happen: 1) we will contact you and 2) you will be moved to G7.<br /><br />Just being moved to G7 does not mean that you are on the show since it is not a search dedicated to the show.<br /><br />If you are not contacted by 5pm EST today, it is highly unlikely that you have been selected. There’s always a chance that we may pull a last-minute idea out of the Open Search but it’s unlikely.<br /><br /> Gotta love that last line. Did anything else register? Not really, just the chance that, oh just maybe, they may pull one more idea out of the search last minute. All kidding aside though, hey it was a long shot anyway. There were so many entries, kinda like the American idol auditions of the inventing world. I will persevere though and although I would be lying if I did not say I soooo wanted this opportunity I really don't have time right now for this with my daughters wedding and all so I will keep coming up with wonderful solutions to everyday problems and may be someday someone will run with one of those wonderful ideas. :-) <br />And Deedra you didn't say if you were on your way to Charlotte NC or not??

(Throughout the start to not so finished process)- I have listened, given support, and now I need to support my friend and others like her an entirely new way. EVERYONE SINGLE CONTRACT HOLDER needs to CALL every single contact name from Discovery, TLC, HSN, and Milojo that you have. You have all waited so long and have incredible products that deserve to work for YOU! CALL CALL CALL and get the answers you so desire and should be respected to have. It was difficult to sit quietly for so long and I care too much for my friend and the future of her product. She has a wonderful family and they should have the security of a great family business. DON'T LET ANYONE STOP YOU FROM PURSUING WHAT IS YOURS!!!!!

I think the more you put out there, the more you get back (so cliche, said a million different ways, but so true). <br /><br />Also wanted to say - very cautiously and hopefully without jinxing myself - that Grime-Out is currently in Stage 5 of Edison Nation... (i.e., no green check mark on the 5 yet...and hopefully no red x). I think some of you have gotten this far as well?? Should I be excited?? I really don't want to be excited because then I might be really disappointed!<br /><br />OY.

"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, & focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy!"Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881554072218138888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-80022128468854678172011-02-01T07:26:46.007-05:002011-02-01T07:26:46.007-05:00Hey, I just came across this blog post that I thou...Hey, I just came across this blog post that I thought a lot of you would find interesting...<br />http://masterofmultitaskingmom.blogspot.comTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881554072218138888noreply@blogger.com
