A couple of days ago, an advisor from Keen had a message for me from her guides. "Do not fear the one star". Is what she told me.
It was a relevant message. I am new to this site and blind phone readings, it is a real fear that plagues me at night while I try to sleep.
Well, I guess the Guides were trying to brace me for the worst, because, yes it has happened.
A single star review.
I am lucky enough to have the friendship of a few advisors, who have assured me that this will happen, from time to time, and is impossible to avoid.
Never the less, I wish that there was a tool; something we advisors could use, to automatically refund money to an unhappy customer, if for no other reason than to purge my guilt.
To be sure, criticism is not new to me. Until 5 years ago, I was hairstylist, and from time to time, someone would be unhappy with their results, and of course, I wouldn't charge them. Did I do a bad job? I don't know, sometimes two peoples energy fields just don't belong together, and people don't communicate well with each other. Or sometimes, perhaps the fates just conspired to keep me humble. What kept my head up back then, was, that for every person that was unhappy with their results, there were 200 or so more people that were happy with me and returned to me repeatedly.
On this site unfortunately, it's a little harder on me. There are only a few happy customers that are willing to take the time to leave feedback. This is their right, they pay good money for my advice, and it isn't their obligation to stroke my ego. Also, I haven't taken 200 calls yet, so I couldn't meet those statistics.
If I had anything else to add to my wish list, it would be that people email me for free minutes to try me out first, so that they could tell, if I was going to meet their needs first before investing any money in me.
Then all they would be wasting is their time, which I might add, is a lot easier that having to go around wearing a haircut that you don't like....
Hello to all! This is my first attempt at a blog, so I'm sure the content will change over the next period of time.
Today I would like to direct the subject to personal responsibility. This is an issue too often ignored in this dimension. How many times have each and every one of us has sat in a restaurant while a table of unruly children ruined our meal as a couple of apathetic parents ignored thier children and everyone else's discomfort.
Or how about when you call tech support, or some other kind of resolution desk only to be hung up on or passed around with never endless non-help? Just last week, when I called a well known chain store to ask about a delivery time. All the operator would tell me was the same information that was posted online for anybody to see. It took me 6 hours to rectify the problem I was having, and several operators.
Gee, wouldn't it be nice if there was a magical solution that would lift this laziness and carelessness that seems to afflict so many of our nieghbors and contacts? Well actually there is! Take some personal responsibility!
Yes it's true! When you try to do your best in everything you do, you attract like minded people and situations. The most gifted ad Magical people already know about this law of attraction. Although your energy field will also attract some of the more helpless types.
If you are offered an opportunity to help someone less fortunate than you, help them by all means. It's both a blessing and spiritual obligation to do so. The pittfall that we want to avoid is giving our energy to those who really have no interest in helping themselves.
It was true for me that day, when it took six hours to answer a simple question. When it was becoming evident to me that I wouldn't make any headway with my situation, I tried to imagine what my own frequency and what I had done to lower it. Had I been sloppy or lazy with my obligations? Don't laugh, usually, this is the reason. However on that day, I realized I had been in contact with an unusually large amount of people. (I own a New Age boutique and it was Christmas time). So I had become depleted through too much contact and not enough psychic armor.
Once I realized what had occurred, I was able to raise my field up again, and accomplish my task.
So next time someone seems to need your help, and you have helped them before, ask yourself if this will be a wasted effort or will you truely impact someones life?
