Dear friends and associates,

Over the past three months Lil Jimmy (Phil Williams) has been involved
with 27 other contestants in "The Twinkie Awards" which is an up an
coming award show about exposing enterpreneurs who are developing
business ideas on a shoe-string budget (nicknamed the twinkie), you
can check them out at http://www.thetwinkieawards.com. The video that
we will be sharing is our first big challenge where Lil Jimmy had to
present to the judges (for the first time) our business strategy in 10
minutes or less. In this clip, what you don't see is very intimidating.

Let me set the stage: It is a small board room and bright lights are
shining on you and there are seven people sitting around the table
that you have never met, included are people from Turner Broadcasting,
Cartoon Network, major advertising agencies, and several successful
enterpreneurs who are judging the contestants. You do not have time
to warm up you walk in and boom you are on!! Not a problem when you
are prepared, but very intimidating to young enterpreneurs (great
experience, though).

Out of 27 contestants we were about 15th to present and it was late on
Monday night when we finally presented. Several of the contestants
came out of this challenge in tears, and very upset as the judges were
very tough and really picked apart their business strategies. hil
Williams went in and was the ONLY contestant (that night) that all the
judges "clapped" when he was finished, and several of the judges asked
us to stay afterwards and they took a long look at our product ideas
and strategies. We received strong compliments for our marketing
strategies and our branding (business cards, identity package, flyers,
press releases, truck wrap, website, etc.).

The one judge who was chewing up contestants said to Phil and I and to
the other judges "he could find nothing wrong with our strategy, our
marketing plan, and our ability to articulate our strategies."
Obviously Phil and I were blown away by such an affirmation and vote
of confidence.

Phil did a marvelous job and I wanted to share with everyone the
latest clip from this award show. I hope it encourages you to get
out and share your business/ministry ideas and strategies.

We would also like to thank Letitia Owens the President/Founder of The
Twinkie Awards for encouraging us to get involved with the award show,
it continues to be everything she said it would be!!

Blessings,
