Episode Description
What Barbara learned most from childhood was to be a chameleon. She was in a military family and they moved a lot. Barbara’s mom had a good job (especially for then) before marrying her father. Once she was married she left that job. Since her father had to move around a lot, if they wanted to marry, her mother had to quit her job. Don’t let the “downs” pull you down into the mud. Barbara learned to pull herself up from the bootstraps. Looking back it seemed more fearful than it felt at the time. Her parents divorced when she was 14. When she hears of others’ struggles it helps her gather strength for her own journey. Life is a journey so don’t be too hard on yourself because you eventually get where you want to go anyway. Barbara learned a term called, “Sisu.” Barbara said, “don’t ask me to spell it” but I googled it and found it. Get the complete show notes at http://www.TheAuthenticAccountant.com

Most podcasts that talk to or about “successful people” focus on “what it’s like today.” This leaves out the most important parts of the picture, “What it WAS like, and what happened.”
Our format concerns itself with all three parts of a person’s story, which is:
What it was like (where and how you got started)?”
What happened (what were some of the darkest times like, and how did you get through it)?
What it’s like today (what you bring to the table these days).
We want to inspire you by bringing out the parts of a person’s story that really made them who they are today. This is the part people can relate to, and the part we feel that other podcasts out there are missing big time.
It’s exciting to learn about how successful a person is, but it is inspiring to learn what things they did to overcome the things that were blocking them along the way, especially when many of us just need to get out of our own way!
