The New York Times Made Tarot Legitimate, But It's Still Contrarian (leverage that for top earning potential)

  "Star of the show’: how Liz Cheney led the charge against Donald Trump" - Financial Times, July 22, 2022.

In most professions, including politics, there is a glut of talent. The driver in a career is the hunger to differentiate yourself from all the others seeking name recognition. Tom Peters called that "personal branding." 

One strategy is to take on the identity of a contrarian - yes, like Cheney. When the GOP was in lockstep to support Donald Trump, at least in public, she pointed out what was not at all right. She's still doing that and frequently is on the digital front page of media.

All being a contrarian entails is going up against what is expected. If everyone is gushing about meditation, you 1) hammer the negatives associated with meditation and 2) discuss better alternatives for clarity in thinking and inner peace. Soon enough you'll be invited to give a Ted Talk. 

In the dogfight of what the world of Big Law is about, the chairperson of Paul Weiss Brad Karp has occupied the contrarian space. At a time when the practice of law in that high tier had been circumscribed to just that - practicing law - Karp added on. 

Those add-ons range from aggressively supporting social justice to approaching a client's legal problem with a holistic business perspective. Karp doesn't seem to find the old joke amusing. That is, the clients won their case, but then their businesses collapsed. In Leaders Magazine, Karp explained the need to provide business solutions, not just standalone legal guidance, to clients.

In entertainment, another cut-throat industry - the late Betty White decided not to be put out to pasture. She reconfigured her brand - how contrarian - as an aging woman. That had been a persona female actresses combatted. Incidentally, in struggling to battle that aging stigma Madonna seems to be undermining her legacy. An alternative would have been to innovate a contrarian stance, like White, about the aging process. 

My contrarian ventures? In the platitude-filled career-counseling space I have flagged the earnings potential of being a Tarot reader. There is no credentials barrier. Put together a brandname and you can earn four-figures for a one-hour reading. Here is my article in Medium. In April 2021, a feature in The New York Times saluting the Tarot as tool for self-awareness gave the industry new credibility.

Here is my Tarot site. Another contrarian move has been to veer off the evidence-based track of writing about law (I killed off my syndicated site Law and More) to becoming a thought leader in mysticism. My earnings in that, plus the ability to reduce suffering, could exceed what I had pulled down playing in conventional communications sandboxes.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
