Bari started with small group courses of ten people, moving up over time. Then she added her telecourse which turned into 50 person classes, twice a year. Eventually, that became her Art of Money course, now with 500 people. Bari also has a book, The Art of Money and is in talks to become a spokesperson for financial therapy in Singapore. Your business will grow and change over the years as well. Keep your eyes open to opportunities along the way.

A few years into her journey Bari received a call about creating a CD based course, something she had been hoping for. And when the time came, it just didnt' work. Sitting in front of a microphone just didn't work as well as talking with a class. And so, when she decided to do her telecourse, Bari nearly made the same mistake. Realizing what she was about to do to herself, she pivoted and got permission from her students to record and use pieces from the class she was already teaching. We all have strengths, we just need to recognize and play to them.

Later, Bari had contracted to write a book using her methodology to start readers on their own personal financial therapy journey. And her editor took the book apart and reassembled it, but when you change the order you change the method. So the book was no longer Bari's. Thinking she was going to have to walk away she wrote a letter to the publisher and to her surprise Bari was able to go back to the original manuscript and preserve her vision of what the book should be.
