As I read this verse I thought, "What parts of my life are unfruitful?" "Where do I lack in meeting the needs of people when it is within reason to do so?" "Do I seek out good deeds?"
As an emerging leader how does one become fruitful in their work?
The word "unfruitful" in the context of the verse comes as a metaphor meaning not yielding what it ought to yield. This means that someone can be producing results, but not the results that are desirable. In other cases this word was used in the context of meaning, "contributing nothing to the instruction, improvement and comfort of others".
One would then reason that fruitful work is work that meets the needs of others by engaging in good deeds. How does a profitable business model follow after this type of motto?
Is it possible to be both fruitful and profitable at the same time?
