Spirituality - Is It Becoming Impediment in Job Search/Developing New Business?
"I keep praying more and meditating more."
Essentially that's what the owner of a trucking business frontloaded for our Tarot reading session (identity masked).
Then he said that his business was down.
That focus on spirituality has been becoming a kind of standard magical thinking for those struggling with employment and sales issues. That seems to be distracting them from the tough focus on strategies and tactics in economic times that can't be figured out.
Yes, spirituality is supposed to help with self-awareness. It does.
But spirituality is no substitute for hard-nosed analysis in what is going on in a stalled job search or inability to close on selling pitches.
I asked the owner one question: What he was doing concretely to get new business and attract back former clients.
The business truth came out. It was this: He was unwilling to negotiate lower prices. That could be what was necessary for his geographic area and what the competition was up to in the present.
That admission opened the door to talk common sense business. That's how we used the rest of the Tarot reading session. The Tarot cards I pulled aligned with that.
Toward the end of our connecting through the Tarot there was his leap into a willingness to compromise. Today is not yesterday in terms of what he could bill.
There is that old business adage: Nothing fails like success. The memory of his past success in charging high fees was blocking his ability to pounce on current opportunities. Everything changes. The Tarot moves us myopic human beings into the now.
