Hello Friends and a hearty welcome to the new readers of Fruitful Living’s Newsletter. I am confident that you will love all of the great information provided that you can incorporate in your life and business today. My ultimate desire is to inspire positive thinking in you, to uncover gifts that lie dormant within, to nurture your creativity, and to equip you with all the empowerment tools needed to bring forth greatness in you personally and professionally.
All it takes is one thought, one word, one step, and one simple act of faith to pull you towards your destiny now.
This Week’s Motivational Boost
Get ready. Get Set. Go!
The New Year is quickly upon us and there is no better time than the present to get ready, to get set, and to go forward in your life. This is the time to start walking out your purpose, vision, and mission. This is not the time to wonder, doubt, procrastinate, stop, or digress. It is the time to hope, believe, anticipate, and expect the impossible being made possible and the unbelievable becoming conceivable. This is your time. Today I would like to encourage you in your quest to fulfilling your dreams with three thoughts to move upon.
Get Ready – Prepare yourself with the tools you need to succeed in your endeavors. Get enrolled in college take some courses related to your field or trade, complete your degree or GED, get certified. Read, read, and read everything related to your niche, trade, or area of interest. The more you know the further you will go. Knowledge is power. It’s available at your local library or through your internet. When in doubt just “Google” it there is a wealth of knowledge stored up for you. So go get it. You will not have to travel far.
Get Set – Get your house in order. Clean out the clutter. Eliminate the distractions. Put things into proper perspective. Activate your internal filter. Release those negative energies, people, and things that do not add but simply subtract and hold you back from moving forward. Prioritize all the demands from greatest to least and handle them right away. Don’t rush through anything. Take your time. In haste we tend to make waste of valuable time and energy that produce delayed but imminent upset along the way. In other words be intentional about every move that you make. Think along the lines of excellence and what that should like. Always strive to live your best, do your best, be your best, and give your best.
Go – Go forward in confidence and with blessed assurance knowing in faith that the best is yet to come. I can’t promise that with every step this year you take that it will not be met with a trial or a disappointment along the way. Position yourself in your mind to be flexible as at times you will be stretched beyond your comfort zone. This kind of stretching has purpose attached to it. Where there is an occasional moment of discomfort or pain there is gain surely to follow. There is nothing wrong with failure when you take your failure and learn from it. Get up, dust yourself off, get ready, get set, and give it a go again.
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” (1840 T. H. Palmer Teacher’s Manual 223)

This Week’s Action Challenge

Write out an elevator speech for your business.
A few weeks ago you were encouraged to write out the features and benefits of your business and this week we are going to take it one step further. I would like for you to spend sometime over the next few days formulating an elevator speech for your business. The elevator speech needs to be short, concise, and no longer than 30 seconds.
An elevator speech is an overview of a product, service, person, group or organization, or project and is often a part of a fundraising, marketing communications, brand, or public relations program.
For example:
Hello my name is Manatha Young I’m a motivational speaker, individual, and business development coach who works with individuals, self-employed professionals, and very small businesses who struggle with how to live a fruitful and abundant life, how to manifest their dreams, and how to best market their products and services to attract more clients now!
What separates my service from the competition is that I work primarily with women to inspire positive thinking, to uncover gifts that lie dormant within, to nurture their creativity, and to equip them with all the empowerment and mindset tools needed to bring forth greatness in them personally and professionally.
Once you have completed this exercise please practice it several times out loud in front of the mirror. Then time yourself with a stopwatch or follow this link http://www.online-stopwatch.com/ to make sure that you stay within 30 seconds. Lastly, share it with your spouse, friend, or someone you know and get their feedback.
You may also email your elevator speech for my review and feedback to myoung@fruitfullivingnow.com
