Toolie Garner helped me immensely this year. I’ve also worked with (and know personally) Cathy Goodwin. But I’m AMAZED that you left off KATHLEEN GAGE. She’s the one who gave me the impetus to start my own business, which is doing very well, thank you!
Hey – I made the list! Heehee, what a sweet surprise. I feel so special.
Thanks Lo.

Dear Lorrie,
Thank you for the list and all of your great tips in 2010. Since you said we could write you about somebody we felt was unfairly left off the list, I’d like to take you up on that offer. IMO, Kathleen Gage, The StreetSmart Marketer, should’ve been on the list. Indeed, the 50 you mentioned are truly admirable. Some I had not heard of so I can’t say it was unfair to leave Kathleen out. Her teleseminars and products are rich in content and effective. She is personable as well. Here is her website:
