Barbra Kramer - Business+Brand Strategist

When you were little , what did you want to be when you grew up?

In the import export business.  

On a trip to Europe with my family when I was 12 years old I told my Mom when I grow up I want to be in the import export business. 

I figured it out early on that I wanted to lead an international life.

What is a word of phrase people use that you just can't stand?

I will try to….or I try… 

Try is the white flour and white sugar of language. It has no caloric or energetic value.  No commitment there.

What is your next career step/ plan?

Getting patent approval on a product that I have identified that will allow me to receive a passive income that is a service to others and protects something beautiful crafted from nature.

Next Goal you would like to meet?

Identifying where in the world is MY Special place and setting it up as my launching pad in which to nest and fly from branch to branch

What are two things on your bucket list?

Getting my Portugeuse passport finalized.

Meeting MY man and living out the rest of our days immersed in LOVE and ADVENTURE.

Five things to do less often?

Worry

Complain

Compare

Judge

Comply

What did you learn a little too late?

That I am amazing and perfect just the way I am and in the ways that I am not.

And 

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE ME…...

I am far more aware of the value of quiet time and quality friends.

I have learned to embrace the importance and true meaning of freedom and personal sovereignty.

Any advice on getting a good nights sleep?

Do not watch scary, violent or mind fuck movies before bed. 

Stop looking at your phone or computer at least an hour before bed.

AND

If you wake up in the middle of the night,  ( speak the following from third person in a commanding voice ). Say OUT LOUD and repeat several times.

LEAVE BARBARA ALONE. ( fill in your name )

LET HER SLEEP.  

STOP THINKING.

You will be asleep before you know it.

( it works best if you are alone as you will ultimately scare the shit out of the person sharing your bed.
