Student Testimonial – Victoria Ilieva

This week’s featured student is Victoria Ilieva, a student that has just recently finalized a rehab deal on a purchased in October 2020.

_{I used to be healthy and now I am getting sick. The first picture is 12 years ago and the second one is me now. That is how I looked when I was healthy and doing the right thing. Now I look older, scared, and not healthy, full of self-doubt.}

_{I allowed the surrounding environment to get my spirits down. I have to be vigilant; there is also a passage in the Bible about being vigilant. I allowed people and my environment to pull me down.} 

_{Don’t allow your environment (which you can’t change) and people to destroy the good things around you when you can change yourself. I allowed meat and beer daily to change my good habits. Don’t allow that man you admire to pull you down either. You think you are getting a benefit and you don’t.}

_{Every problem is a blessing. It forces you to go to the root of the problem and that is the only way you move forward. I had to get to the root of my problem.}

_{Barbara, you helped me to do just that!}

_{This is my 1st success and I consider it a big win. It’s about changing my mental state & attitude. Thank God, but also thanks to Barbara, (my Real Estate mentor),  I changed the way I view my health issues as a result of my life style (had a bleeding ulcer, it is very painful, makes me dizzy & forgetful). She shared her life battles & I realized – my problems are not as big as what Barbara went through.}

_{So, the 1st step to change my health situation was to take full responsibility for my bad health situation. I have changed over the years – when I was young, I used to do yoga every day, eat mostly vegetarian (light meat or fish once a week), had a lot of stamina & energy working long hours on a computer as a graphic designer. I am not sure how little by little I stopped doing yoga, started eating meat (the bad influence of people I was surrounded with).}

_{Barbara did NOT talk me into changing my diet or lifestyle – she just shared her life-story with me. I was so touched. I decided to try being a full vegan for one week, even though I was still on 2 types of antibiotic taken simultaneously. It immediately improved my situation. The bleeding stopped, but still had other inflammation issues, pain in my liver. Continued with being a vegan and decided NOT to stay in bed (though I still had some pain & felt very tired). I just got out of the house & got back to work with reduced hours to mobilize myself. The bad coughing stopped as well. After the results from my MRI test & blood work came back the doctor was happy to announce that I did not have cancer, as he feared. All these inflammations, bleeding ulcers were the result of my poor mental & physical state.}

_{After learning more about Barbara’s lifestyle from her website, CompleteHealthyLife.com, I am fully convinced God sent her to be my business mentor. I am so lucky!}

_{This is not just about making money with Real Estate – it is about taking full responsibility for everything – health, business, finances, relationships with customers, building rapport, but mostly learning about what I am not doing right that leads to my own problems. I am still working on my mental state & attitude, still not focused (partly it’s the health), still self-sabotaging & fearful, must seriously work on my faith and eliminate fear, self-doubt… You have helped me and that is not a small thing. Getting my physical state in order changes my emotional state and changes the way I think. You have put happiness in my life.}

_{Thank you so much Barbara for your kindness, patience, I hope you have faith in me. I just know, you showed me the right path!}

_{I treasure every minute I am on the call with you, you motivate me. You are doing something that God loves.}
