Read along as she gives you the tips, hits the inevitable bumps, and achieves success - again.“Barbie’s story is deeply personal and touches the heart while simultaneously firing up the mind on how professional success happens. Written with humor, energy and power, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to make things happen.” – Steve Chandler, Author of Time Warrior. “I love Barbie’s optimistic yet pragmatic approach. She’s been through a lot, she’s honest about what she’s learned, and her wisdom can help anyone who really wants to change.” – Dr. Tom Hill, Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Entrepreneur’s Soul.“This book is spot on in my opinion. Barbie is refreshingly blunt and honest about her real-time live-ride in business, and what I love is that she kept coming back to her own values. She has found her True North, her natural compass. She tells us how to do that through valuable insights and practical concepts. And that is what makes people winners.” – Janet Fogarty, Chair Vistage International, Performance Catalyst, CEO Coach.
