    She has the greatest story! I initially found her story when I was researching those who made a career in real-estate when I was studying for the NYS Licensing Exam. It was exactly what fate wanted me to hear because at that time I was going though a tough breakup. My world was shattered and uncertain and Barbara gave me the strength and wisdom I needed to keep pushing forward!

    she’s like the relative you wish you had because of her stories and the way she tells them.

    Yeah this is why I don't want to date anyone and just focus on my school. I am a CPA in the making. Love Barbara for her strength.

    This is what I just need! Thank you for this video!

    I am struggling with my business and everything is going down. Even my family dont support my decision. They all trying to convince me to apply for a job and work to death.

    I will follow her and go against my family. I will continue my business even without their blessings. I am happy here.

    This is so inspiring. Years ago I wanted to transfer from one store to another and a coworker told me "you are just jumping from the frying pan into the fire". But he was wrong. It was one of the best decisions of my Life. After I transferred everything changed for the better. Hopefully younger women see this video!
