Timing has a lot to do with the successful outcome of a rain dance.

What's the Opportunity in This?

Let's fact it... life isn't a smooth, straight road. There are times when right smack in the midst of your busy life the unexpected pops up in front of you. Sometimes the unexpected is a blessing, at other times it's a real challenge, to put it nicely.

Although these challenges appear to be annoyances or even blockages designed to stop you from moving forward in your life, they are actually disguised treasures. Each of them has within a treasure which only you can see... a treasure that only you will value. The secret to uncovering this treasure lies in one simple question:

What's the opportunity in this for me?

Within every setback and every challenge there is an opportunity just waiting for you to discover it. All you have to do is ask yourself, "what's the opportunity in this?" and you'll begin to uncover your treasure.

One great example of this that affects everyone on this planet three times a year is when Mercury, the planet of communication, goes Retrograde. During this period of time the energy Mercury transmits to Earth may feel like someone pushing you backward. This energy is manifested as computers crashing, email service being disrupted, and personal communications between people going awry.

What's the opportunity in Mercury Retrograde? It's a great time to step back and look at what's going wrong, why it went wrong, and how it can be corrected so that it doesn't happen again in the future. As an example, during one Mercury Retrograde my email service was disrupted for almost a week. This was a reminder for me to honor one of my basic business beliefs: always have more than one source for your needs. So I signed up for additional email service with a local provider. Now when the email is not working with my regular service, I have back up. The treasure I gained from this setback is peace of mind and less stress because I know that I'm not at the mercy of one email provider. I also gained empowerment by choosing to not put myself in victim position with just one source.

If you're an entrepreneur or solopreneur, it's inevitable that there will be periods of time when your business will slow down. Even if you are working for someone else, there are times when you will experience slow downs in your work load.

What's the opportunity in business slow downs? A few that I can think of right off are:

• contacting clients/customers whom you haven't heard from in a while. Your call might just be the nudge they were needing to purchase one of your products or services. At the very least, you'll have increased their loyalty to you because you let them know that you were thinking of them.
• cleaning out old files both on your computer and in your filing cabinets. One of the treasures here is that your energy will get lighter as you rid yourself of things you don't need or use anymore. When you get rid of the old, you make room for the new. You may find the treasure of new customers and clients coming into the space you create as you clean out the old files
• doing minor repairs around your home and/or office. Things that don't work and need repairing, things that need cleaning, and things that need to be thrown out ALL are energy leaks. Take advantage of the time you have during a period of slow work to plug some of your energy leaks. The treasure you'll find is more energy to put towards the things that aren't energy leaks.

During a recent slow down that an entrepreneurial friend of mine was experiencing, she found the opportunity to do her Christmas cards and clean her house - all without feeling guilty about taking time away from her work. When business gets slow for me, I jump at the opportunity to have the free time that allows me to get creative and play with new ideas for classes, workshops, and some different ways to market myself.

The next time you are faced with an unexpected challenge, ask yourself "What's the opportunity in this for me?" and be prepared for some pleasant surprises.

Love,
Kathy

The Power of Coaching with Tarot

Unlock your inner knowledge using the Tarot, an ancient and time honored tool of Higher Wisdom, in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment. The Tarot has been used for centuries by people to gain deeper knowledge about the issues and challenges that were facing them so that they could improve their lives.

Benefits:

• get faster results
• discern your best choices more easily
• acquire more complete knowledge about your challenges
• open to a wider range of opportunities available to you
• have more fun in coaching and in life
• enhance your inner wisdom
• open your creative channel
• extend your array of choices

How the Tarot works
The scenes on the cards are symbolic representations of the life challenges that you, and all of humankind, face in your journey of learning, experiencing, and evolving ever higher this lifetime and past lifetimes. These images bypass the conscious mind where the "Inner Critic" lives, which allows you to directly access your subconscious mind where creativity and choice are available to you. The images and their meaning are instantly recognized by your Soul Memory. This message is sent to your conscious mind, where you are able to then discern the wisdom that this card has for you in your journey.

How the coaching sessions work
After our initial consulation, I'll use Divine Guidance to select a Tarot deck especially for you and will send it to you. If you already have a Tarot deck that you like to use, just let me know which one it is so that I'll have a matching deck.

At the beginning of each session as you focus on the issue on which you'd like coaching, you shuffle your deck and select one card, laying it face up and noticing whether it is in reversed (upside down) position. After you tell me what the card is and it's position, I'll locate the card in the matching deck I have so that we are both seeing the same imagery. As you interpret the meaning of the card for you and how it relates to the subject at hand I'll gently assist you with the Divine Guidance that I receive.

After you've gleaned the Higher Wisdom from the cards, we'll apply it to the choices that are available to you so that you can discern the most beneficial and appropriate steps of action for you.

Armed with this Higher Wisdom, your coaching and your life will evolve at a rapid rate and will have deeper meaning for you. You'll achieve greater results.

I currrently have an opening for 1 client who wants to experience the power of coaching with Tarot. If that's you, email me or call me at 360.437.1022 and let's talk.
