Why is she sucessful?
Barbara is successful because of her characteristics. She is charamatic. She brings a lot of energy no matter where she is. She's is very persistant. She doesn't let setback -set her back. Her mind is always thinking of the next step, next project, next challenge.
Characteristics
Dyslexia
Barbara had dyslexia and it made her feel not smart and insecure. Everything she did was to show her comptition that she can do everything that they could do.But she didn't use her disability as an excuse, instead she learned how to deal with it.
Persistent
Barbara never gave up on anything she did. For instance, she thought of videoing New York apartmnets. When that idea didn't do so well, her husband started to talk about "this internet thing". Then she put her idea of videoing a New York apartment on the internet and made a couple of sales.
Likes challenges
Barabara was consistantly confronted with setbacks. The harder the setback, the more determined she was to succeed. She would say to herself, since this didn't happen, then there has to be a bigger solution.
