What inspired you to start Bridget Newton Ministries?

What is your mission?

Bridget Newton: My mission is to empower the total women. To empower and grow women from the inside out. Help them to discover their purpose, walk and understand their destiny and value;

I am passionate about women understanding their value. I have spent the last 16 years helping them do this and trying to use every tool and every platform to assist. It is my heart and my passion.

What value does Bridget Newton Ministries add to the community?

Bridget Newton: One of my roles is to get women in spiritual alignment. I am their Spiritual Mid-Wife which helps them give birth to their purpose. Helping women understand their destinies and value improves their lives and the lives of those around them.

What product/service does Bridget Newton Ministries provide?

Bridget Newton: We provide in-person courses three (3) times a year through Lady University. Starting in January 2023, these courses will be available online as well. In addition, we offer a 4-week Leadership Academy which trains women to become effective leaders.

I own my own publishing company and teach people how to write books. I love that everyone has a story. Also, I published 17 books. Last year, I even released 7 books at one time.

Interviewer Note: Yes, you did read that right. 17 books. It is not a typo.

Do you have anything new or exciting upcoming that you would like to share?

Bridget Newton: First, I am planning on publishing 2 books at the same time in January. Also, Lady University will be available online in January.

What has been your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?

Bridget Newton: Not capitalizing on social media when it first started. I sort of shied away from it because of my shy personality. If I could do things over again, I would have done things differently.

Advice for someone interested in starting a business?

Bridget Newton:

#1 Seek God first. Make sure you put God first.

#2 Let it be something that you are passionate about. Do not start a business just because someone else has a business. Know that your business is what you are called to and pursue it, instead of following someone else’s calling. There are individuals that resonate with your voice.

I always say to people that there are more than McDonald’s lovers. Some people eat Whoppers and not Big Macs. People who eat Big Macs are McDonald’s people and those who prefer Whoppers are Burger King people. So you do not need to worry about getting Big Mac customers if you are Burger King.

Pursue what you are passionate about and NEVER try to compete with anyone else. I believe this has been the greatest downfall with so many ministries and businesses. There could be 10 people that provide a service but each one is unique and has an anointing.

There is a grace on my life to do what I have been called to do and a grace on their lives for what they have been called to do. Each person will reach the people that God assigned to them. If we focus on this, then we will ALL be okay.

You are only trying to reach people who resonate with your voice. Once you find them, you are halfway there. You do not have to worry about anyone else. Do not get caught up in competition or be afraid to step out because you are divinely unique, God’s original and that makes a difference.

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive who would it be and why?

Bridget Newton: Oprah Winfrey. First of all, she has done something right in her life. I want to know what she did because it worked. At this time and space in my life, I want to know what works. I want to know what will bring me to the place of ultimate fulfillment and success in all aspects of life. I feel like Oprah tapped into something. What is the blueprint that she followed which helped her obtain her success and get her where she is today?
