"You've got to promote it. Building a better mouse trap is not enough anymore. "

Treasa Newton, Woman's Way Journal

It is always delightful to encounter a business woman who has a achieved a level of success, and still have in tack her sense of goodwill, good values, and good business ethics, which includes her taking the time share and/or mentor others who are also on the entrepreneurial path. Mrs. Newton is indeed such a person. She offers a wealth of business know-how and business savvy (intuition) which makes sitting down and talking with her a real benefit and empowering.

In an interview Mrs. Newton stated, "I think something is needed for women in business, because many times women business owners are so wrapped up in putting the business together (i.e. planning for business cards, computers, etc.) that they don't realize there's the need to make their business visible, and to promote their business."

She went on to explain how, "It used to be said that if you 'build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door.' Today, you've got to promote it [your business]. Building a better mouse trap is not enough anymore," she said.

Treason Newton is the December 2006 Subject Matter Expert (SME) for SIB's "Lunch & Learn". To learn more about her business and career, read her SME profile by clicking here.

SIB Seeks to Empower Women to Be Healthy! Introducing Felicia Wilson, SIB Health/Fitness Writer

(We regret the error. This article is being republished due to incompleteness in last week's issue.)

Sisters In Business is happy and proud to introduce Felicia D. Wilson, a certified Health & Fitness Instructor Felicia as a column writer for Sisters In Business. Felicia has been asked to share her expertise with SIB readers in an effort to help empower women to stay fit and healthy.

Felicia is married to Marcus D. Wilson. They have very active 11 year old (Akina), nd 18 year old step daughter (DeAngela) and grandson. She was raised in a single parent home as the middle child of 3 girls. She graduated from UTC (University of Tennessee @ Chattanooga) in 2000 with a BS degree in Psychology. She is employed by UnumProvident and has worked for the last 6 years as a Senior Disability Benefit Specialist

Fitness has been apart of Felicia's life for over 10 years. She has been a certified instructor for 3 years. She teaches aerobic and strength training classes during her lunch breaks at work. Felicia began teaching a fitness classes at New United Church, and later started a fitness class at her current place of worship St. Elmo Missionary Baptist Church.

Felicia had struggled with coming up with a name and mission statement. Then she shared that the Holy Spirit spoke to her and gave her the word "Faith". Understanding that Faith is "the thing hoped for and the evidence of things not seen", Felicia began thinking about a person who has never worked out, yet having a desire to workout. She thought about how this person would need faith to know that the results will come with the work.

"Well to make a long story short", said Felicia, the name of the class is "Faithful Fitness". She explained that the fitness class' foundation is built on I Corinthian 9-19-20: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

Felicia also shared that she gets great joy out of the class and having the ladies trust in the gift that God has given her to help them better themselves. She feels that as her class is building up themselves, they are also building up the kingdom of God.

"I am so grateful and thankful to my wonderful husband and daughter. They share me unselfishly with not only the fitness ministry, but with our women's ministry and discipleship classes for our youth", Felicia said.

Look for the Sisters In Business Health and Fitness column written by "Faithful Fitness" Instructor Felicia Wilson starting in the month of October 2006.
