What inspired Barbara Parker to start her entrepreneurial journey?
The person you are today is going to be thankful for all the crap that you had to claw through to be the person you are, because it's going to make sense. It won't make sense now, but later it will, because all things work together.
So let's talk about empowerment. You're clearly defined, empowered, and you're still in your early phases. Yeah. To me, in the universes that I like to operate in, you're far more advanced. But in this reality, What is it like to be empowered and share that energy of empowerment?
It's great because when I
My name is Rudy Moore, host of Living the Red Life podcast, and I'm here to change the way you see your life in your earpiece every single week. If you're ready to start living the red life, ditch the blue pill, take the red pill, join me in Wonderland and change your life.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, Red Life Edition. For Insight Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. From shih tzus to empowerment, Barbara Parker, everyone. Barbara, you are quite the woman in power and a legacy maker. How does it feel to be both?
exhausting i can tell yeah but you know great because it's something about beating an untrodden path and you know you do it you're alone and then you figure out oh wait where's everyone okay that's why i'm alone i'm the first one of my people to be doing this so it's kind of cool well welcome to uh the abyss
where successful people stand alone. Your special case, besides being an Inner Circle member, you did a Legacy Makers episode first, and now you've done a Women in Power episode. There's gotta be a yin and a yang.
How did Barbara navigate her early experiences with Shih Tzus?
There's a change to you. Talk about that evolution between the two episodes.
So I am more tired because, you know, I am still the queen of delegating and then finding new jobs for myself at the company. So like now I'm the podcast editor now. recorder the host the yeah and uh now doing the fashion line and doing expanding the transportation department so like i just keep finding new jobs after i give away the old ones right on so yeah i always like to compartmentalize myself between years or decades and like currently the person in this chair is 2020 1983 to 2020 version ray
From 2020 to 2025, Ray has a different version of Ray that I don't monetize yet. So you're getting this version of Ray. What version are we getting of you? Future, past tense? What frequency are we at, Barbara? Besides tired.
Right. We are getting probably the birth of. So everything is in its infancy. I'm building the infrastructure. And I can't wait to see this thing become a teenager. I mean, my six year old is like doing amazing things. And I'm like, oh, you're going to school. You can write your name. Like, I'm excited. So, you know, I can't wait to see what happens in the next five to 10 years. Very cool.
Yeah. Talk about your experience today. What are we going to learn about your episode in Women in Power versus what we'll learn about you in Legacy Makers?
So legacy makers, you get that very professional barber side. As I've gone through several of the masterminds and learned that I need to lean into my story, which, you know, I've always avoided because I don't like to cry in front of people, especially not strangers. And y'all didn't get me this time. You got me last time. But it was me leaning into my story and telling pieces of my story that no one knows, probably not even people that are really close to me.
What mindset shifts are crucial for entrepreneurial growth?
Wow. So, yeah.
I got to jump right into it. How was it like having your first business being Shih Tzus? Or raising Shih Tzus or adopting Shih Tzus?
So... I don't know if I can cuss, but I mean, it was kind of shitty. But it was, you know, the safest thing for me because it was me overcoming my fear. So, you know, it's easy to not be afraid of tiny, tiny dogs, especially when you made them. And so it was interesting because I was like, can I really do this? And when we had the litter of one, I was like, I thought dogs had more dogs than this. And so it was like, that's okay. I can learn how to take care of a puppy.
