Berried In Inspiration Shari Fitzpatrick Speaks

Now Scheduling Appearances for Berry Motivational Tour



    SACRAMENTO, CA, November 26, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Shari Fitzpatrick (berriedinchocolate.com), an accredited member of the National Speaking Association (NSA), has just announced the launch of her 2015 limited engagement Berry Motivational Speaking Tour. Shari, creator of world's famous line of gourmet-dipped strawberries, Shari's Berries, and author of the book "Berried in Chocolate" is currently booking the few remaining spots on the tour in which she motivates other entrepreneurs, students, and business people to follow their dreams and never give up.

"She was the feather in our cap and the savior of the day," stated Kimberly Vaughn, Executive Producer of the Modesto Women's Expo. "The women who came to hear her speak were inspired, impressed and empowered. That is exactly what we were going for and her presence drove that home."

It's been twenty-five years since, at the age of 25, without any business education or experience, a young Shari, armed only with a $1,500 cash advance and a lot of passion, turned a hobby and her passion of chocolate dipped strawberries into the worlds' famous $33 million dollar brand, "Shari's Berries".

In 2011, after putting faith in the wrong person, Shari lost her company and began an emotional journey that taught her the importance of family, faith and how having God as her business partner would enrich her with a fruitful life - experiences which she captivatingly shares with her audiences.

"My story would be really boring if I hadn't gone full circle," relates Fitzpatrick warmly. "I've experienced the great times and the most painful times. I've grieved losing a company that I created and like I would grieve losing one of my 3 sons."
Passionately, she continues, "We learn the most and become stronger, building character during the difficult times in our lives. Not when we don't have a care in the world and life is easy."

Shari's story and her creations have attracted international attention through appearances in O Magazine, on the Today Show, on the Food Network, The Apprentice, in People Magazine, In Style Magazine, on The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, QVC, HSN and featured in Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneurial Soul. Shari also has a new berry company under the brand Berried In Chocolate and lives with her family in Somerset, CA, which is located in the Fairplay Wine Region of California's Sierra Foothills, and which has inspired her new award winning venture SHARI'S GRAND RESERVE label wines - big bold reds and also available chocolate dipped.

Shari's Chocolate Dipped Passion shows up everywhere Shari speaks along with her berries, which she brings for all in attendance.

Shari Fitzpatrick is the creator of the world's famous line of gourmet-dipped strawberries, the renowned Shari's Berries. Shari's love affair with strawberries began as a little girl with a strawberry patch that her Father planted for her each summer. They quickly became her favorite fruit. Later while working as a mortgage broker in Los Angeles she began making potential clients handmade chocolate dipped strawberries. The incredible popularity of these memorable edible gifts soon outpaced the success of her original career.

In 1989, with a $1,500 cash advance, having just moved to a new town, Shari took her passion and hobby of chocolate dipping strawberries and turned it into a business.

An acclaimed inspirational speaker, and now author, Shari entertains audiences of all ages and backgrounds while sharing her down-to-earth, heartfelt business story. Appealing to anyone who has a dream, she'll take your group on an emotional journey as she intertwines the successes in her life along with her mistakes. Shari's new book, "Berried in Chocolate," points out the importance of family, faith and fearlessness while revealing how God became her best business partner and that faith and street smarts can be just as useful as a college degree.

Today Shari's new boutique brand of gourmet chocolate dipped gifts can be exclusively found at BerriedIinChocolate.com and are shipped nationwide all year round.

For 25 years, Shari's story and her creations have attracted international attention through appearances in O Magazine, on the Today Show, on Food Network, The Apprentice, In Style Magazine, People Magazine, The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, QVC, HSN and Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneurial Soul.
