Barbara’s Origin Story In what seems like a past life Barbara was director and ran a theater company. She had success in her field. She has a master’s degree in directing. She was also a personal acting coach for the Olson twins for ten years. Barbara also ran an acting academy, and a lot of her past students are now doing very well in the entertainment industry. She also had a show at the Kennedy Center. Barbara directed one of the Olson twins’ videos and their animated series. She has a lot of experience in the entertainment field where people are constantly using their imaginations. And now she’s entered another field and works with high achievers, peak performers, and other people who really want more from life for themselves. The comments Barbara hears often is “There’s so much greatness inside of me and I don’t know how to get it out of me.” “I’m so frustrated with Underearning.” They may not say that they have low self-worth or low self-value, but essentially that’s what they’re saying. Things like “I’m not earning what I think I really should be earning, and I’m not accomplishing as much as I know I can accomplish, and I just don’t know what’s in the way.” Solving problems like those became her passion to pull performance out of a lot of those people who said that they wanted more and started showing people how to get into bold action and becoming their future self. It’s closing that gap between where they were and where they want to go, and doing it in a way that is a little bit more bold and radical. Where does future visioneering start? How does one get started with it? It starts with allowing yourself to fantasize and being honest with yourself; truly honest with yourself. Getting relaxed and allowing yourself to imagine all of the things that you would like to do in your life. What are things that you would like to accomplish? What are some goals that you have in your mind? One of Barbara’s first goals that she started thinking about a while ago was having enough money where she could pick up the tab in any five-star restaurant across the world for anyone who was sitting at my table. That was something that really excited her. So, in that excitement, she started to practice picking up the tab for eight people at the Hilton. It wasn’t a five-star hotel, but it was a start. A start of just starting to activate her imagination; how does that show up in her life? That then that pulled her in a direction of thinking about what is going to help me make more income in order to achieve that desire? It’s really to sitting down with yourself and asking “What is it that I really, really want?” That means thinking of something that you want, not what somebody else wants for you. Not the idea of becoming the lawyer, the doctor, or something else that’s going to make you a lot of money because you were told that it would. There’s an illusion of a title being the thing to go after, Barbara doesn’t believe ...
