I, like so many people who pursue careers in natural health and metaphysics, did so because I felt called. Called to service, to serve a purpose greater than myself, to accomplish more than meeting my own needs and fulfilling my own desires. I began the immense task of changing careers. Some things I did during my transition worked well and other things did not. Things that I thought would work in other business situations, did not apply to my new career. I had to rethink and reexamine my assumptions and concepts about how to do business... business as a spiritual healer. Metaphysics is all about non-ordinary reality. Having a metaphysical career is kind of a pickle because business success often requires a solid grasp of ordinary reality... marketing, pr, strategy, etc. The recipe for a successful metaphysical career is 50% following Divine guidance and 50% establishing a unique business model that embraces both standard business practices and unusual ways of conducing business. I don't have it all figured out yet, but the concept that I am bouncing around in my head is what I call the "Expert Business Model". |
