Spirituality, Mysticism, Life Coaching and More - Businesses in Decline
The exception is the mega church, such as Calvary. Its membership keeps growing and new outreach programs, such as substance abuse recovery based on the bible, keep being added on.
Otherwise, many of those in the spirituality, mysticism and life coaching niches are experiencing a decline in their "businesses." Yes, for them, along with the mission, there is the matter of a fee-for-service. Standard in tarot readings is one dollar a minute.
A posting on Reddit Psychic focuses on this development. The query asks if there has been a decline in demand. There are those established businesses over the years which haven't experienced a falloff. But the rest have. Confirmation goes like this:
Live-Sherbert-6267 - " ... am a spiritual healer and coach and everyone I know in this space has seen a decline in business. "
The reasons? Reddit posters offer these explanations:
Hard times. Essentially, as more and more pay for groceries out of savings or on credit, these forms of enlightenment represent a luxury.
Glut. There simply are too many vendors in the space. At a recent psychic fair in Sierra Vista, Arizona there should have been a quota put on the number of the enlightened doing readings. Some wound up with not one client.
Scams. The industry is unregulated. Anyone can declare themselves a spiritual guide. Unhappy clients spread the word of "false prophets," furthering depression of demand.
Flight back to traditional religion. Youth and men are in the front lines of this movement. During these volatile times there is a unique sense of safety in "turning things over" to Jesus or some other form of a higher power.
Technology. Yes, you can click on ChatGPT for a reading. It lacks the human touch but it can provide not only information but comfort.
Will these businesses recover? The world has changed, as venture capitalist Mary Meeker puts it, in "unprecedented" ways. There's no predicting what sectors will be able to reset in this era of AI and the push for cost-efficiency.
Rattled by the uncertainty? Faith-based Career Coaching.
