The Go 2 Girlz
Girls…get comfortable…this is going to be a long post but an exciting one!
You all know I have had something up my sleeve and current happening are allowing me to tell you sooner than later!
I met Stacey at the Women Inventor Casting Call in
While Stacey and I were hammering out the details of our upcoming web show and hiring a film crew, editor and web designer, the casting call came out for co-host positions to work with Anthony Sullivan for Season Two of Pitchmen.
Off to
Currently we are waiting to hear if The Go 2 Girlz are selected for the show but in the meantime a casting call for inventors will be held in
For the Ladies that did not receive a contract from Discovery, Pitchmen could be a great opportunity for you to get your invention out there. But then there’s the problem of time and money! The casting call is NEXT WEDNESDAY!
If you would like to get your invention in front of Anthony but do not have the time and/or money to fly to Tampa on a moments notice, let The Go 2 Girlz pitch it for you!
Stacey and I have received permission to pitch on your behalf! All you have to do is sign a release that states you are allowing The Go 2 Girlz to represent you and your invention, ship your product to me ASAP and give a full description of your product! That’s it! Stacey and I will do all the work! We’ll write your script and pitch it to Anthony on November 4th. We will also be taping your pitch so you can see your product in action!
To find out if your invention fits the requirements for Pitchmen go to Discovery’s website and visit Pitchmen’s page. Then email us at thego2girlz@live.com with your name, product description and contact info.
Quickly, because time is an obvious issue, we will review your submission and get back with you ASAP.
I’m thrilled to FINIALLY be able to tell you what is happening in my world and to be a part of The Go 2 Girlz! I am passionate about supporting Women Inventors and love offering a service where YOU are in control of your product!
On a side note, kudos to the women that figured out why I changed the colors of my blog! They are the colors of Pitchmen!
Your Pitchwoman and Friend,
The Go 2 Girlz

Heads up
If you are reading this tonight, make sure to check in tomorrow! I have a proposition for you!
Late October
Women Inventor Food Drive: 3 Bags
The last week of October...is it going fast or slow? I try to stop and smell the roses, so to speak but when you are waiting to hear good news...it's hard not to wish the time away...
If you received a contract from Discovery, congrats! I know we are all thrilled for you!
Question: Did they tell you when production is to begin and when it will air? Is HSN still involved?
It's officially "late October" and I was told "to plan on hearing something in late October"...I jump every time the phone rings and keep checking my email! :) I am sure many of you can relate!
Positive thoughts! That's the plan!!!!!
Maybe I'll pick up some roses...just as a reminder!

WI FOOD DRIVE
I am inspired my a previous comment on my blog about donating money at KFC to help the World Hunger Relief Fund, however, this food drive ends soon. But hunger is never ending.
Food gives us comfort but for a starving child or adult, food gives them hope. And how great to give a stranger hope!
So this is what I am asking of my Women Inventors. Raid your pantry, hit the two for one at the grocery store and fill a paper bag(s) with non perishable items to drop off at a church or food bank.
With the holidays approaching us, many grocery stores have brown bags pre-filled and ready to go - all you have to do is purchase one and the grocery store does the rest.
Once a week until the end of the year I am going to have my children help me pick out the food and hopefully teach them a life lesson of giving while helping a worthy cause.
Sadly hunger is worldwide but easily you can help right here in your backyard!
Let us know how many bags you have dropped off (anonymously if that makes you more comfortable) and I will keep a tally on the top of each blog post. Let's work until the end of the year to see how many bags we can donate.
Let the WI food drive begin!

Shift the focus
I am so over myself.
Networking, Twittering, Facebooking, phone calling...the work it takes to get your name out there is exhausting and it's time for me to shift the focus off myself and on to something/someone else.
While I wait for some of the biggest and most exciting news of my life (like many of you are doing as well), I am halting the "Tracy Promoting" . The right people already know about me, they know what I do, they know what I have to offer, they have seen it, heard it and have all my info so I feel it's safe to take a break and give more of myself than to just myself.
Today will be dedicated to random acts of kindness, a trip to Good Will, a run to the food bank, many many words of love for those I cherish and .... a much needed break from the "meism" .
Hallelujah!

WWW (Women's Words of Wisdom)
My night out with the girls on Saturday was a night to remember!
Not only did I get to spend the evening with some great friends, I was able to hear some amazing success stories of Momtrepreneurs.
The MC was Mindee Doney - one of the inventors of Boogie Wipes. Then we had Grace Welch - she invented patemm - a circular changing pad. Katie Kyres - Silly Dilly Tot Spot, Author of "everyone is beautiful" - Katerine Center, Lisa Becker - founder of ostomysecrets.
One thing many of these ladies had in common was that they did not have a business plan, they just "jumped right in". I thought that was very interesting because I have never written a business plan and my Husband gives me a hard time about it. Now I can say "Ha! These Ladies did not do it either"!
There was someone else there that I met - a WI like you and me, with a fabulous idea that she is preparing to launch. She approached me and introduced herself saying that "she has been reading my blog for months and wanted to say hi". By the evenings end, she told me what her invention is and like us here, she was leery of sharing her "baby" in fear of it getting knocked off. I PROMISED not to say a word but let me tell you, this invention of hers is going to be HUGE!
Really, I am surprised that this invention is not on the shelves yet but that's the key here. She found an obvious solution to a common problem and realized that it hadn't been done yet so...she's doing it!
Although I enjoyed hearing what these WI had to say, I did not learn anything I did not already know which was reassuring. What I did hear was that if you have a vision, go for it! Take the risk and believe in yourself!
Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of that...
