Hi! I’m Barbara J. Barton, and I’ve been a dedicated student of the self help and personal development fields for over 25 years. I’ve built this site as a way to share my knowledge and life experiences with you and to offer you practical tips and advice for your questions about life, love, spirituality, and online business creation and ideas. I have also published a few books on Amazon on these subjects. Check them out on my Author Page at Amazon
Through many years of study, research, and dealing with some pretty big roadblocks in my life (losing my ability to walk, dealing with cheaters, liars, and predatory people, and losing both parents), I’ve learned how to take control of my life and destiny, and I hope to pass on some nuggets of wisdom so you can do the same.
I also learned through books and online classes how to build a profitable online business through blogging, affiliate marketing, coaching, consulting, teaching, and self-publishing through Amazon’s Kindle program and others. This site is one of two I am working on. I am passionate about and love this work and couldn’t be happier! And the *income I get from these sites will help me become more independent and re-invest into my businesses.
If you are not happy with your life and how you’re living (or not living) it, I strongly urge you to take control of your life any way you can. It all starts with asking questions, getting the knowledge you need and then applying what you learn so you can grow.
Check out my resources list, just below the disclosure statement.
*DISCLOSURE: This site contains affiliate links and ads, which if you click on, will earn me some money. It’s one of the ways I support myself on this site while keeping my articles free for you! I will never recommend a product I don’t believe in just for money! Thank you!
