Holy crap, I CAN still do this!
Yay me!
After over a decade of not practicing or actively working with clients, I did my 1st "official" (aka paid) Feng Shui Consultation today.... I was actually nervous!
I'm out of practice, I've forgotten alot of what I learned and I was worried that the old skills, instinct & knowledge would be MIA.
And then I pulled in the driveway, looked at the roof line, the house shape, walked inside, laid out the Bagua & did the walk thru.
Sat down to talk about what the client felt she wanted to change & focus on. Looked around at the things that were helping or hurting the flow of energy. Came up with a list of fixes, some quick & easy, a few a bit more intensive.
We had a bit of a time limit today, so a 2nd consult will happen.
Did I forget some things?
Yep.
Did I have to double check my notes for some of the basics?
Yep.
Did I get stumped over how to fix something that seemed a bit complicated?
Yep.
But here's the bigger thing...It felt natural. I felt comfy. I wasn't nervous anymore.
This first consultation was kind of a self test and I purposely chose to schedule my 1st client to be someone I know.... someone I def know well enough & for long enough to call a friend, but also someone I don't have all the info about her history & life.
This was a good balance between known & unknown and a way for me to test myself.
In the past my clients were prob close to half friends & half strangers.
This 1st consultation was also a way to test myself to see if I want to continue to build this as a business, in an economy & a world that is kind of unsteady & where a steady income could be difficult to have.
The ease in which I slid back into this role, this work, tells me that hell yeah, I need to give this a chance!
I am still fighting myself over pricing, but I think I will be offering a discounted price for consultations in March as I re-learn this skill.
