Knowing What You're Worth
Hello Readers,
I know that it has been a long, long time since I've posted something but better late than never right? So here goes. I want to discuss worth. When we think of worth we automatically think of money or some other form of currency. I'm not talking about that kind of worth though. I'm talking about self-worth. Listen, we all done things that we are not proud of (myself included.) but what a lot of us don't understand is that we are all in control of our lives. There is only so fingers many you or I can point at someone else or blame this or that on a certain situation. Which brings me back to the topic of self-worth. What is self-worth? Well, to me it's how you see yourself, a mental mirror if you will. Have you ever looked at your reflection or watched your shadow dance across the wall?
Now, when you look at your reflection or watch your shadow what pops into your mind? Are they positive thoughts? Do you see yourself as ugly or undesirable? Well, before I go any deeper let me say this we all our days. (I know I do) but that's apart of the balance of life. If you've answered yes, to any of those questions well, then you got some work to do. (We all do) When you have self-worth and you know yourself, you don't settle for less but at the same time you don't pass up a good opportunity because one or two things may be wrong.
Let me give you a very good example. In March of this year I met a guy online (whatever happened to meeting in person these days?) By the name of... Let's see, what name should I use to protect his identity. I'll call him RB. Now, that that's out of the way. So, I meet RB in March and we got along very, very well. He was everything that I wanted in a man. Smart, Funny, Driven, Focused and Most of all Sexy. Now, mind you, we never met in person. We just talked on the phone a lot and I do mean a lot.
In the beginning of RB and I talking it was strictly phone boning which I will say was the bomb. Slowly though, it became more. He would call everyday, we would talk about everything from politics to social issues.
Now, slowly I started to see that RB didn't really see me in the way I saw him. I actually saw him as potential because he was in my head not perfect but pretty darn close.
I didn't realize it but I was settling for less. When all RB wanted was someone to have fun and some hot phone sex. He even told me that in our first conversation. Did I listen? Nope! because I was horny and I really, really wanted that "perfect power-couple" relationship. (even psychics fantasize unrealistic.) So, we continue to talk and over time this turns into eight months of us talking.
It just so happens that I was going out of town and that I would be in his neck of the woods. Told him all about that and he seemed happy but once I got to his neck of the woods, it was whole different movie. I call him on his phone, no answer. Called again, no answer. Called again, no answer.
It was then that I said f*uck it and let it go. Was it hard to do? Not really because I realized that my self worth and self respect were much, much more important. Did it hurt? yes, a little but I was more mad at myself because I wasted damn near half a year talking with someone, I really didn't know.
Which brings me back to the topic. I didn't know what I was worth. I didn't want to see that all he wanted was a f*uckbuddy, which there is nothing wrong with, but when you try to make mud into cake your compromising yourself and self worth. Knowing yourself is the one of the many keys to achieving balance in your life.
When you know who and what you are, you don't compromise but at the same token you are open to what life may bring you. Don't raise your standards so high that even YOU cannot reach them.
I often get questions from callers about the potential mate that is to come into there lives and the number one question I get asked is, "Will he be/Is he financially secure?" Meanwhile, they don't have a job or they're struggling themselves. How can any of us except a perfect 10 mate when we're a seven. My point is focus on you and remember you are worth all that you put out and if you remember that, you'll be fine. Remember you create your own reality.
Love, Leo

You Picked Them
Hello Readers,
Today I am going to talk about something that I had been debating in my head. At first, I wasn't sure if I should discuss this because I may get some backlash but I've realized that backlash can be a good thing. So, here goes. I want to talk about the about the mates that we tend to choose.I've noticed that when we set our sights on someone, we have either do two things, we have a plan already in place in our minds or we just hope for the best. What I've also noticed is that when things are great, we are on cloud nine. Now, when things get bad, the first thing we echo is 'Why are they like this?' Well, let's take a moment to think about that shall we? Often times, when we've met or are in the process of getting to know someone, we tend to overlook the big things. Why? Because we are so 'into' them that we don't see the flaws and imperfections that the person may have. I'll give you an example. It was the winter of 09' January to be exact. I had met this guy online that I'll call Jose. Jose and I talked via online and phone for three months before meeting in person. We decided to meet at the local airport in town. So, I take the local train to the airport, call him let him know that I've made it. Guess What? Jose never showed up. So, here I am at the airport for I think it was a total of 11 hours. That's right, boys and girls, 11 f*cking hours! We talked about it later on and I tried not to show my anger but inside I was boiling. I was not only angry, I was hurt. In my mind, I was thinking 'How could he do this to do me? Which brings me to the start of this post. I knew, knew it deep down in my guts that Jose and I were not to be. I just didn't listen to the signs that were right in front of my face. Jose was 5'3, temperamental, hood as hell, had a (I hate this word with a passion) baby mama and was bi-sexual. Nothing wrong with the last part. Anyway, what I am saying is that despite all this drama and b.s. I saw in front of me, I went for him anyway. Why you ask? Because I was lonely, had very low self confidence and self worth, and I was horny. So, we finally hookup and I have to say the sex was good but that still didn't take away the massive differences Jose and I had.When you choose someone, think about them long and hard. Not just the good things about them because often times we are not into them, we're into the fantasy we have in our heads of them, and I hate to break it to all of you but no amount peen slammin' or vee-jay-jay lickin' is going to change the person you are with. They have to want to change. You can't force them to change either. I mean, if you changed the person you're with you would not like them I am sure.The main question you have to ask yourself is can you handle all of them not just the things that make you happy. Because relationships are not one-sided and they take a great deal of work. So the next time your mate does something that you can't stand or something that you dislike but you've never paid attention to, step back and ask yourself can you handle this and remember you picked them.
Love, Leo
Hello Readers,
I just wanted to let you know all know about my new radio show. It's called "Real Talk With Leo Brown" You can listen to it on the blog talk radio website. I hope you all enjoy it and I'd like your feedback on it. It airs every Tuesday at 5pm. C.S.T.
Love you all, Leo

Just a little poem that I thought I'd share with you.
Who Says
Who says you have to rich, who says you choose to be poor.
Who says you must be thin, who says you can't be healthy
Who says you says you choose the color of your skin, why not just
love the skin your in. Who says that should matter, it doesn't it's the
heart that counts.
Who says you choose to be gay or straight, why can't we embrace each other for who
and what we are. Who says you need to be married, who says that it's so bad begin single.
Why not get rid of the misconceptions of what makes a family and what makes a marriage.
Who Says that living on borrowed knowledge is the best thing to do.
Who says that begin open minded is an easy thing.
Who says you must worship a certain way?
Why not find a path of faith that works for just you. Better yet, why not make your own.
Who Says, Who Says, Who Says!
We Do, You Do, I Do.
We all are guilty of saying something about everything. No matter if it's mean spirited or the truth.
We talk about how a person should walk, talk, look, dress, act. You name it we do it.
Really, we should all take a look in our own mirrors, which is never easy but, we should.
Maybe then, only then could we take a look at society and what it tells us we should do and say simply to it, Who Says!
Love, Leo
Hooking Up: How To Have Fun With It and Have Your Respect in Tact
Hooking Up, Getting Your Groove On,Knocking Boots, Having a good time, Just Plain Fuckin'. We all get the gist of this blog post right? Okay, good. Now, like you, I have hooked up with men and while getting my release on and having to catch my breath, Certain thoughts popped into my mind and the thoughts were: Am I really enjoying this? , Am I hooking up with this person for the right reasons? Am I respecting this person, more importantly am I respecting myself?
The answers to all those questions was a flat NO. I wasn't respecting myself, I wasn't begin upfront about what I really wanted simply because 1) I was horny as a goat 2) I didn't want to risk the person I was with leaving and me begin alone. Now, there is nothing and I mean nothing wrong with getting off with someone you really don't know. I mean, come on now we're all sexual begins. All of us, it does not matter your gender or your sexual preference. We all want and actually need bodily contact. What I'm talking about is going into hooking up and not begin honest with yourself or the persons you're hooking up with. When you are not honest you create drama. As one person once told me "A moment of passion can cause a lifetime of pain"
Now, when you see someone bones you want to jump, d*ck you want to lick or butt you want to smack. Think long and hard about this person. Is there anything else besides the exterior you enjoy looking at? Do you click? Because even if it is just a sexual thing, there must be some sort of chemistry or else you wouldn't be into them. We've all seen guys, gals or both that we would jump in a hot minute. (If you are reading this and say no or try to act like your hole doesn't smell, you not only have issues but we need to step outside.) We all have, we are human and have eyes.
Okay, now that you have acknowledged that you think this person is hot and the person has stated the same. (I'm not talking about crushes here, I covered that so please catch up with me.) It's time now to get down to the business. The business of not only heavy breathing and name-calling but the business of establishing a dialogue between the two of you. What you want and What they want. This is never easy but it is worth because it saves you both a lot of headache. What I am about to give you are a few simple rules that can make your hookups not only fun but worth it in more than just one way.
The Rules Of Hooking Up:
Rule 1: Be Honest-That's right, the first rule is a very, very simple one. It's sad that so many of us do not follow this rule. Say exactly what your looking for, even if it is you just want to make your bed hot or warm for the night or your willing to do this but you want more. Say it loud and proud! Honesty is after all the best policy.
Rule 2: Listen-Listen not only to the person's words but listen to there body language as well and most of all listen to your guts, what is your inner voice telling you? Are they or is this really worth it? The more you listen to yourself and the person your about to hookup with the better off you are.
Rule 3: Hookup for the right reasons- You and the person you're speaking with have great chemistry, you like each other as friends but know that there is nothing more but there is a possibly, The Person you are with likes you in and out of the bedroom. These are all good, solid reasons to hookup with someone. Do not I repeat, Do not hookup with someone out of boredom, pity or loneliness. Not only is it very, very sad but it is hurtful because what if that person wants more than just one night? Or vice versa? Oftentimes, we look more than we feel. Nothing wrong with that, but take into account not only the person's looks but feelings too.
Rule 4: Have Standards- Stop putting yourself out there as a side line ho. That's right,I said it. Do not lower your standards. Opening or boarding your horizons are one thing but allowing yourself to be treated like a cum-rag is a different movie. I'll give you an example. I was speaking with this guy who in my opinion was/ is fine as hell, trust me he could get it if I let him. There was/is two big problems: 1) He has a girlfriend, who has been with for a year and does not know that he is just a big, big freak. 2) He had the nerve to say to me and I quote "Why don't I just park my car in your lot and you come out give me head" Um...no . I ended it right then and there. Unless, the person your hooking up with is helping you out with your own high-rise apartment, car and bank accounts and they're in your
all in your name, then I would say
maybe and that's a
big maybe to consider it. If all the person you are hooking up with is doing nothing but licking and sticking but treats you like a sideline ho, they gots to go. In other words treat yourself respect and the persons you are with will do the same.
Rule 5: Have Class- Be a Gentlemen/Lady at all times. Do not act like you just came out of the color purple. It's 2010 not 1810. Show the person you are hooking up with that you are more than just a pretty face or a round ass. If the person you are hooking up with allows it, show them that you are not only rocking in the bedroom but the boardroom as well. It's like that old saying "It's not how big the head is but what's inside it that counts."
Rule 6: Don't Give it Away- That's right boys and girls, that thing between your legs is not a 7-11. I don't care how hot you may get or how fine the person may be. You are worth a whole lot more. Give your cookies or whatever happy name you give it, to people who not only want it but are deserving of it.
Rule 7: Be Hospitable- If you are bold enough to scream 'pull my hair', your bold enough to at least buy them a thank-you- that-was-fun- dinner. If they want it. I'm not saying date them, I'm saying be a good host/hostess as well as whore.
Rule 8: Be Safe-This really should be a given but so many,many people really don't follow this very important rule. Check out the persons you are hooking up with. Get to know them a bit or at least their damn name. Also, wear a condom! Protect yourself in every way possible. If the person you are hooking up with doesn't follow this rule, then they are a fool and so are you if you choose to deal with them.
See, Simple right? I think so. I hope you all find this useful, now get out there and have some fun!
Love, Leo
Hey Guys,
I'm coming to you today to talk about an issue that I know everyone experiences or has experienced in there life. I'm talking about plain ole hating. That's right, hating just doing it for no reason. Let's say you are Successful, Honest, Have a great career and carry yourself with class and self-respect. Now, of course you try your best to treat every person the way that they should be treated. To no avail there's always someone who is never, ever satisfied. It can be your best friend, a family member or someone you met on the street. I know that hater's are hard to figure out, trust me. I have some clues to give, that may help you out.
Clue 1) Envy: It's not you they hate, it's themselves. When I say that I mean that a person who starts to throw their hate at you is not really throwing it at you per se. Think about it for a minute. Oftentimes they're not mad at you, there looking at their life and thinking 'I could've done (fill in the blank) Or the old time favorite 'That should/could be me'
Clue 2) Bitterness: That's right this happens to even the youngest of persons. Let's face it, at some point in our lives we may start to become bitter about something. It's really up to us to change that so that way when we come across someone who is hating on us. We can pinpoint why. Remember, when a person hates on you it's not you. It may that there may be a lot of bitterness in them that causes them to see you as their punching bag.
Clue 3) Anger: Oftentimes when you end up receiving some hatred it may because they may be angry not at you in particular but because you represent something that the person/persons not only may not have or something that got away from them. Therefore, they are looking at their lives and sometimes saying 'Why does that person/persons have what I should have.'
Now, of course not every person is the same but these are just some things that you could look at for. Which brings us to the question of how do we avoid people like these. Well, there are three ways that you can avoid people like these.
1) Standing up for yourself: If you know that a person is hating on you. The best thing to do is to stand up for yourself by telling them nicely and calmly that you are not going to deal with their issues anymore.
2) Helping them to figure out where this comes from: That's right, help them. Sometimes they don't know what they are doing or why they're doing it. Try to help the person to grow and you never know you may find some things within yourself too.
3) Letting Go: Sometimes in order to not let hating get to you, you have to let the person/persons go. Also, by letting go you are doing something that a person who carries himself/herself well does, love themselves.
I hope this helps and I wish you well.

Hello Readers,
Today with Valentine's Day behind us, I wanted to talk about I want your feedback on this subject. The Subject I want to talk about is Love. Ah, Love the word makes us think of sandy beaches, long walks and romantic interludes with that special someone. What Hallmark, 1-800 Flowers, FTD and Match.com do not tell us is that finding love is hard, keeping it is even harder to do. First of all, finding love is great thing the world becomes more of an alive, brighter place to live. The main question that everyone has in their heads is 'How do I find it?' Believe me, I ask myself the same question. The thing that we often forget to do in our quest to find love is to love ourselves. Now, when I say that I mean confronting our demons and dealing with pain from the past. I know that a lot of us do not do this nor do we want to do it. The reason for this because it requires work and I mean hard work. It requires letting go and for a lot of us this hard to do because even though we swear to ourselves that we will never go through that again we in someway go through the same experience without the realization of it.The reason behind this is because even though it was a painful relationship it becomes a comfort zone for many of us. Believe me, I'm one of those people. I don't think we mean to wear our pain like a coat, we just do. Because of that we, become victims of life and never really learn that true, honest love starts from within. Once you learn those keys of life the world is your oyster. In the quest of finding love, we want everything to be perfect. Well, I have news for you: It aint gonna happen. There is no such thing. Every relationship even, friendships have problems. To be honest, conflict sometimes is a good and healthy thing it's just dealing with it that's hard. It's a part of life and something that we all must go through. One of the ways of finding love is to start by putting yourself out there. Join a social club, A dating site, find more single friends. You never give up on love. Because when you give up on love, you give up on yourself. Another thing that people do not tell you is that love in all it's greatness is that love is pain. Pain is a big part of love. You have to go through it. Love is not just flowers, candy and love making that's a big part of it. Just not the whole pie. The real meaning of love is three-fold.
1. Loving Yourself: Which means not taking any kind of crap, you are NOT second-rate. Just remember that and keep moving forward.
2. Finding Love: That's right, if you want love you have to work for it. Put yourself OUT there. Trust me the person you want is not going to fall out of the sky.
3. Never Giving Up: Never give up on yourself or on love. Remember love comes in many, many forms and some can last for a minute, a day or if we are lucky a lifetime.
Love you all,
Leo

Chasing A Cloudy Rainbow
Hello Readers,
How are you? I hope well.
The subject that I am about to write is not only a touchy subject but
one that I have been going back and forth with for a while. The
things that I may say might offend some of you but I am not here to
help you lick your wounds, I am here to help you become empowered. In
this blog writing I am going to talk about one man who not until
recently has made me do a lot of inner work within myself and
has also made me confront a lot of my own demons. Which is
never, ever easy. I am not going to mention his name because that
would be rude, I will mention the lessons that I learned, what it
taught me and continues to teach me. Now, the guy that had the honor
to grace himself into my life was a person I'll call Mr. A I met Mr.
A through my best friend with whom he worked with. The first time I
met him I must admit I thought he was cute, kinda like Jack Black but
better looking with piercing blue eyes. Mr. A and I hit it off well
and became what I call party buds. We would only see each other
through the occasional party that my friends and I would throw or if
my best friend needed a ride from work. Anyway, as time went on we
would hang out and have a few drinks and then we would make out.
Sounds great right? There was only one actually, two problems. He
was straight and I was gay and two he wasn't into me as I was into
him. In my head as we kissed, he was a great kisser. I saw or
rather thought in my nutty brain that he and I could have a life
together, that soon he would admit to himself and to me his feelings
and we would be very happy and content. Thankfully, that never
happened and the reason I am grateful for this is because, I have
realized that Mr. A and I are on completely different paths with our
lives It never occurred to me that Mr. A was simply experimenting
and drunk. Meanwhile, I 'm still hoping that he and I are going to
have that deep connection. You see, with Mr. A I was able to let my
guards down which for someone like myself is a great thing. It was
one of the first times that I felt really connected to someone.
Whenever Mr. A would sleep off his hangover and not return the
affection that I had given him, I would be devastated. I thought that
he really cared for me and now that I look back at it I realize that
he did just not in that way. Over the next couple of months
Mr. A and talked a lot more and became greater friends. He told me
that he hated phones and liked letters instead, so he and I would
write each other. I thought it was so romantic, hearing from him via
letter. Even though I never told how I felt, you could read between
the lines. I wrote him a lot and he and I would just talk about what
was going on in our lives. After my fifth letter that I had written
him, I came to the realization that he and I were friends nothing
more. I told him how I felt about him but more importantly I told him
that I was happy to be his friend. What I am saying is that there
comes a time when you have to stop and realize that you are chasing
something or someone that does not want to be or need to be chased.
Is it fun and exciting to chase something that is unwanted? Yes! On
the flip side of it though it is sad because it says that you have
value yourself too little. Think about it. You have a person who is
involved with an already attached person and even though they know in
their heart of hearts this is not healthy for them or the person who
is saying that He/She is going to leave their spouse. It never
happens, they keep begin strung along and in the end they choose to
chase this person because either they are stuck in it or they feel
like there is a glimmer of hope. This happens with family, friends
you name it. We have all done it, but you have to ask yourself is it
worth it? Or am I just chasing a cloudy rainbow? You Decide.
Love, Leo
Hello Readers,
I hope all of
you are doing well. I'm about to write about something that I have
been meaning to write about for quite a while. I have been wondering
if it was/is the right thing to say. Now, that I have thought this
over I've come to one thought about writing about this subject and
that is this:I Don't Care Anymore. The subject that is on my mind is
feedback. Feedback is a great system isn't it? When used properly, it
can tell me as well as any other advisor on this great network what
we did right or wrong and what we should work on. Notice I said when
used properly. One of the main issues that I have about the feedback
system is that it allows the customer to totally rag on an advisor
and the advisor has no re-course to back themselves up.
Take
for instance a person I had a chance to speak with on August 22nd.
Now, mind you I hadn't spoken with this person for a while. So,of
course I did not remember everything that we had discussed prior to
this conversation. Now, what I want to
make clear is this: It had been one month since I had spoken with
this person, let me say this again one month. How am I
supposed to know, let alone remember everything that you or I or the
next person has talked about. One word for you: I Can't. As a matter
a fact, no really can. We as advisors talk, some not all. Talk with
maybe, 30 people a night. So, it can be mind boggling for us to
remember everything that has taken place in your life.In this person's feedback they said that the reading that they received was
different from the last one. Um, of course it would be different!
It's been a month! I see that I have to say this again because people
don't take the time to read or listen, so I'll say it again: Things
that we as psychics can say can change in as little as five minutes
or sometimes not at all. Do we as advisors have control over this?
No! and why? because it is your life that's right, your life. Also,
there is a little something called free will and I know that
none of us control that.
Those of you that speak with me and
have spoken with me, know that I am friendly, professional and I try
to be helpful. I also try to be honest and as real as possible. Now,
some of you don't like my reading style that's okay you have a right
to not liking the fact that I try to approach every reading
like a conversation between two friends or the fact that I sometimes
use colorful language during my readings. Well, I hate to break it to
some of you, but if you ever see two friends in conversation, you
will notice two things. (1 They are brutally honest with each other
and (2 They may use colorful language to get their points
across.
Let us do our jobs as advisors. Which is to tell you
what we see. I don't know about anyone else but the last time I
checked my job description I was a psychic, not a baby sitter. I am
not here, nor do I believe anyone else on this line is here to hold
your hand and give you the 'everything is okay' speech. Not saying
that it won't be. It can be but it is up to you to change your
life. Not me, your mom, dad or anyone else. No one but you. We are
here to give you guidance that you can take with you or leave at the
door. It is up to you.
Also, for those of you who wait to
leave feedback. I have two questions for you: Why? What sense does it
make? Stop trying to 'test the time line' It's stupid and as I said
before things can change as soon as you hang up that phone. When you
are leaving feedback, you are rating the call not
the time line. Another problem that I have with the feedback system
is some of you, not all purposely leave negative feedback because as
some of you say 'there was no connection' You know who you are so, I
will not name names.
Of course, there was no connection,you
didn't give the advisor time to connect with you.
To all the advisors that can answer questions in two minutes or less
good for you and a big bear hug. Now, as for me I cannot and I
will not answer questions in a one minute frame of time. Give
the adviors who try to care for the customer, time to receive some
insight. Do we need an hour? No, but give us at least 10 minutes.
As I have said before we are psychics not magical
eight-balls. Treat us the way you would treat any person, because I
don't care if I am begin paid a million dollars to speak with you. I
as well as any advisor deserve one thing :Respect.
I can only
speak for me but if I hear 'the other psychic said' once more I will
scream. I am not here to confirm what the other advisor has told you.
I am here to tell what I see and I'm not saying that the
advisor is wrong but they are seeing the situation differently. A lot
of times when you hear that the advisor tell you that everything is
good or that this person is your soul-mate. Keep this in mind: Some
of us say it for the fear of a bad rating or for some this is
actually what we see. They're not really lying they're just trying to
please you, the customer. Most of this job is customer service based,
so we as advisors go out of our way to help you. Don't take that for
granted because you are paying us.
If you want your readings
real and honest. Call me and we can get down to the get down as they
say. If you want me to sugar-coat and blow smoke, Call someone else.
Because it's like that age old saying. You get what you pay
for.
Love, Leo
Loving yourself. That sounds so easy, simple, life-affirming and
refreshing at the same time. We live in such an instant world now, I
mean, at the touch of button or the click of a mouse, we can have
anything we want. Be it food, sex, clothing anything. Or at least we
are told we can. If you are feeling sick or want to lose unwanted
weight just do this one diet or take this magical pill and all your
worries will be over. Right? Wrong! Oh, wrong we are! Which brings me
to this topic. What the advertisers, magazines and television shows do
not tell you is that in order to have all these things, you have to
start within. Now, here is where it doesn't get so fun or become so
simple. In order to start this within journey you have to start asking
yourself some hard-hitting questions. The first that I like to start
with is, Do you like yourself? Go Ahead ask yourself that question
right now. If you can say yes without hesitation, then you are halfway
there, if you ask yourself this question and all these other questions
come up then we have some work to do.
Learning to like yourself is not easy. Let me say that again, learning to like yourself is
not
easy. Why? Well, look around you. From the time we are children to well
into adulthood, we are told how to walk, talk, act ,dress everything.
So it makes perfect sense that by the time we are well into our life
journey that some of us do not know who or what we have become anymore.
The journey of liking yourself starts with taking responsibility for
everything you do in your life and that's where the hard-hitting
questions come in. For instance, Are you scared of the truth? Do you
have a healthy self-image? Do You Respect Yourself? Are you where you
want to be in your life? Tough questions to ask yourself, I know. I
have trouble with these myself. These are very important questions
because if you cannot and do not like yourself, you cannot love
yourself. They go hand in hand. Liking yourself also means knowing when
to let go of something. For instance if you are in an unhealthy
relationship of any kind and even though you know the person you are
with is not treating you with the respect that all humans deserve, you
still hang on. Hoping that maybe this person will turn around and
things will go back to what they once were. Unfortunately, that doesn't
always happen and we have to then realize that it is time for us to let
go of this situation and get real with ourselves. This is hard believe
me, I know but it is something that we all have to do in every aspect
of our lives. Letting go of something means not only that you like
yourself but you are taking a stand for yourself. It says you respect
yourself. More importantly, you are on the path to learning to love
yourself.
Loving Yourself. Now, this takes forever to do and learn. Let me say that again, loving yourself takes
forever to do and learn.
It is not overnight, nothing is really. If it was I would be very, very
rich and the believe me I am not! Loving yourself starts with begin
honest with yourself. Asking yourself questions like Are you Happy ?
Have you really found your passion? Are you on your path? Am I
thinking outside the box enough? These are even harder questions to ask
and answer because not only do they invoke a lot of questions but they
also make you think and reflect. Reflection is a great thing but also
this can be painful because you may have regrets or things that are too
painful to deal with. That's okay, this is apart of the journey that
we all have to go through even myself. Loving yourself means putting
yourself first, learning to say no when needed and embracing change.
Like for instance say your about to buy a home and you find out that
the home needs a lot of work. Even though your real estate agent has
told you that it would not be the best idea to purchase this home, you
do so anyway. Finding in the process of buying this property that
there is a lot more work that has to be done so you decied to put forth
the money, time and energy and fix the house. Only to waste time and
all that money. Soon, you come to the decision that you have to give up
on the house and move on. This is part of loving yourself walking away
from something that you love even though you've put energy into it.
This a hard thing but it says that you not only love yourself but you
have a life to live and enjoy. So, ask those hard-hitting questions and
let the journey flow like the waters of the earth.
Love, Leo
Hello Everyone,
Begin in the industry for the past 11 years. I've continued to encounter things that not only piss me off but make me sad. Let's make one thing clear and that is, when you select a reading from a psychic remember you are calling them for a reason. We are here to empower your life and give you guidance that's all. We are not doctors, lawyers or therapists. Treat us accordingly and we will do the
same to you. Just in case you haven't gotten the jist of what I am saying here are some things that both the psychic and the client can do to ensure a great reading.
Warning:Contains Profanity
The DO'S (For The Client)
1.Be Prepared for the reading you are about to receive. Clear your mind from as much junk as you can. This for some can be hard but it is very worth it. You will be amazed at the results of your reading if you do this. To Put It Plainly:Relax
2.Have Your Question/Questions Ready:Whenever you select a reading from a psychic from whatever network you choose to call,
make sure you have your question/questions ready. More importantly make sure that they make sense. Think long and hard about them before calling a psychic because stupid questions warrant stupid answers.
3. Be Specif: When you speak with a advisor remember you are building a relationship. So it's very important for us as psychics to be able be open with you. When you get a reading make sure to open your mouth and talk to us about why you're calling. You wouldn't go to a doctor and say 'I'm sick-fix me' Of course you wouldn't, you would tell the doctor what is wrong with you and they would go from there and hopefully you will no longer be sick. To Put It Plainly-Open Your Damn Mouth!
4. Understand Freewill: Another thing that can help you as a client is understanding free will. If you contact a psychic and they predict the outcome of a situation. They are giving you just that-a prediction. Life can change at the blink of an eye. In Other words:Things that a psychic predicts can happend but not always in the way they say it will.
5. Listen: This is the last and most important thing that you as a client can do. Listen not only to what the psychic is telling you but also what you're own guts are telling you. Allow the psychic room to speak and listen to what they have to say. Even if it's something that you may not agree with.
Now, that I have covered what you as a client can do, Let's move on to what psychics can do for a great reading.
The DO'S (For The Psychics)
1 Prepare Yourself: You are about to talk to people from every part of the world and every walk of life. So prepare yourself for
what is about to take place. Light some candles, dim the lights or play some soft music. In other words:Clear head and ground yourself.
2. Be Honest:This is really a given but a lot of people do not heed by this rule. Why would you lie to someone that your trying to build a relationship with? I'm not saying be blunt but let the client know that the things you see can change but it is up to them make those changes.
3. Be Friendly: I know right, another given but believe me, if you have a smile on the phone the client will be more comfortable and you as a psychic will pick up more.
4. Listen: That's right as psychics we all know how important it is to have the client listen to us but it is just as important for us to listen to them. Remember, they've selected us for a reason. Plus, a lot of the people that call us are looking for answers to what they think/feel is a crisis. It is our right to be there a shoulder to lean on.
5. Relate To The Client: I'll say it again, relate to the client. How are you going to build a relationship with your client if you cannot walk even if it is for a moment in their shoes?
That's why they are calling you and not someone else, the client feels that you can relate to
what they are going through. If you relate to them, you will build stronger relationships. Trust me.
6.Refer Other Psychics To Your Customers: If you have a clients of yours that cannot connect with refer them to another psychic that you think can. We are in this industry for a reason to help people. Help people by not stringing your clients along and refer them to people you trust.
You see how easy this all sounds? That's all you and I have to do to have a great reading.
Now, I am going to move on to the DO NOT'S
The DO NOT'S (For The Client)
1. Do Not Call With Bad Or Nasty Attitude: If you as a client are having a bad day and you want to contact an advisor, call on a day when you're more calmed down. We as psychics do not deserve to get cussed out by you for something that we have no control over. Besides, we do not have control over you're lives you do.
2. Do Not Call Just To Test A Psychic:This really should be a given but for a lot of you it is not, so I'll just say it. Stop Calling Advisors to test them. How would you like it if we came to your job to test
you? Not only, is it rude but it's just plain stupid.
3.Do Not Say To A Psychic "You're The Psychic You Tell Me": Why? Well, it's insulting and secondly it goes back to what I was saying at the start of this blog, We don't know you! We're Psychics not magical eight balls. As a human begin you know a smart-ass comment when you make one and if you want to turn your reading into something juvenile, hang up the damn phone!
True psychics do not have time for bullshit!
4. Do Not Get Upset If A Psychic Tells You The Truth: Yeah, I said it. Why would a person become upset by the truth? That's like wanting to kill the weather reporter because they said it was going to be sunny on Wednesday but it rained instead.Besides, you know the truth deep down you just as a client are hoping for something different. I understand that, but the only way to deal with the truth is to do just that, deal with it.
5.DO Not Call A Psychic To Confirm What Another Psychic Has Told You: The Reason I say this is because the psychics that you speak with do not know each other and even if they do I doubt they want to be compared like that.Also every reading is different. If you want a reading like that, talk to a robot not a psychic! Allow The psychic to see what they see and if it makes sense great, if not hang up simple as that.
6.Do Not Ask A Psychic How Accurate They Are: Let this speak for itself as you are getting a reading from them. If and when you ask a psychic this. You are putting them on the spot and you know it. Doing this is rude, childish and just makes you look stupid.
7.Do Not Become Dependent on Psychics: Like I said earlier, we are here to give you guidance and that's all. Once you put that phone down, you are in control of your own fate and destiny. I am not saying do not call us, I'm just saying make up your own mind and fight your own battles. Nothing I mean, nothing is ever final in life. When you become dependent on psychics you are giving your own power away, think about that.
8. Do Not Stay On The Phone With A Psychic If You Do Not Feel A Connection: Why would you stay the phone with a person that you are feeling connected with? That doesn't make any sense at all. I know a lot customers will do it just so they can leave bad feedback. If you are as a client on the phone with someone you do not connect with, hang up the phone. For the those of you who do this just to leave bad feedback, I have a few words for you: Grow Up!
Okay, I think I've covered all I can about what you as a client should not do. Now I am going to cover what we as psychics should not do.
The DO NOT'S (For The Psychics)
1.DO NOT Say Your '100% Accurate': The reason I say this is because. Not only are you putting a lot of pressure on yourself but you are also putting pressure on the other psychics who may or may not be as accurate as you. If you choose to say this be perpared for a lot of testing from everyone even, other psychics. Your are a human begin that makes mistakes like everyone else and it's better to say that then to lie to your clients and yourself.
2. DO NOT Tell Your Clients To Only Contact You: First of all, this is just you power-tripping. The one thing I have learned from this business is that egos and clicks are crazy in this industry. Just Stop it! To a lot of the people we speak with even though we are not therapists, a lot of them can sometimes treat us like we are. So do not get upset if a client talks with another psychic. It's like talking with your best friends, you need different opinions. Telling a client that they should only speak with you screams only one thing: Money.
3.DO NOT Bash Other Psychics: First Of All, I can understand it if you have been bashed and you are defending yourself. But if you doing it just to be nasty, then you have a lot of growing up to do. In Other Words: You are an adult, act like one!
4.DO NOT Tell Every Client You Speak With That The Person They Are With/Wanting To Be With Is Their Soulmate: This really should be a given but it's not I talked with countless men and women that have been told this and when they are told different they flip! Stop conning these people and be honest with them. Believe me, you'll be glad you did and also even though they may not say it then, they will be too.
5.DO NOT Pressure Your Clients Into Spellwork or Any Types of Cleansings: If they want that type of work done they will ask for it. Also you are controlling a person's free will when you do this and that is not right nor is it your job.
6.DO NOT Allow Your Ego To Get In The Way Of Your Work:A lot of us workers have our degrees and credits on our pages and there's nothing wrong with that. Please for the life of yourself do not become puffed up by what you have gotten throughout your career. Because nine times out of ten the person you are speaking with could really give a damn about your degrees or credit. You are giving them a reading not a resume.
Well, I hope this helps all you and I look Forward To Speaking With You.
Love, Leo Brown
