Eric Loftholm at Market Your Way to Wealth 2009I’ll admit it, sales is not my strong point. There is some mothering part of me that wants to take care of people … whether they want me to or not … that makes me pull my punches when I try to sell. This is one of the main reasons that I just didn’t cut it in my Mary Kay nor my Primerica business attempts.

But, after listening to Eric Loftholm at Market Your Way to Wealth in April, I’ve come to realize that this is totally something I can overcome. Here are some of the tips he shared with us that helped me.

Another Lunch List

Women of HistoryI was just thinking the other day that I hadn’t posted a lunch list since that first one last year. In fact, it was posted on Feb. 1, 2008!

Do you remember what a lunch list is? It’s a list of folks you’d just love to have lunch with — but not just any ol’ folks, only those that you admire. They can be historical, contemporary — even fictional. In my first list last year I listed the Top 5 Business Women I would love to have lunch with, including Ali Brown, Mrs. Fields and Larina Kase.

This time around, I thought I’d do something a little different and list the Top 5 Historical Women I would love to have lunch with. So, here they are:
