ParticipantI thought there used to be a “Marketplace” thread on this forum but I couldn’t find it, so I’m starting this thread to kick around ideas for starting a business, if anyone is in the market for establishing one, now or in the future.
We all have considerable talents and strengths, and we all help people in our own ways. Maybe some of you have businesses of your own going on that you are earning money from already, or you would like to start a business so you can start earning money. Maybe we can put our ideas on this thread.
I want to start my own “Reading” business. I think I am a natural for it. I’ve had many readings from others throughout the years, so I know what people seek from going to psychics and readers and other helpers of this type. Most of the readings I’ve had, people channel information from your guides and spiritual helpers. I wouldn’t bill myself as a channel.
While I do channel some information, there is so much of me involved in the process of doing a reading that I would bill myself as someone who contacts your Higher Self to gather information from. All the information we get from the various sources out there is filtered through our Higher Self anyway, so that is who I would address. Another way to think about it is to channel the other person’s higher wisdom.
If I tell you that I am getting information from your higher wisdom, seems to me that would feel empowering to you, as opposed to some entity just telling you something. It’s your Higher Self, your higher wisdom, and you have access to it at any time, 24/7. I am acting as the go-between, maybe helping you learn how to access it yourself in the future.
After introductions, what I would do is have my client start talking and telling me what’s going on in their lives. What is it that they are concerned over that they seek my help. I would comment on what they say, and ask questions, and steer the conversation. My main intention would be to help my client gain clarity over their confusion, and also to help self-empower them in the process. I already do this in real life for free.
I’ve been wanting to call myself a “Spiritual Counselor” but I do not want to misrepresent myself, since I do not have educational degrees after my name. What I do have is experience…gobs of it. Actually, I don’t know what to bill myself as yet, still mulling it over….
There is more to say, but right now, I am in the “confidence-building stage” and am not ready to hang out a shingle yet. I don’t know the platform…phone? Internet, such as Skype or Zoom? I don’t have an expensive computer so my video is not very sharp on my computer, which doesn’t look very professional. And how to take payment. Maybe I’d have to set it up through my blog, a “Market” link on my site. I don’t know.
I’m not set up to take credit cards or PayPal yet. I’m still kicking around ideas. My sister-in-law who has a Ph.D. is very experienced in starting businesses and taking payment, and she is ready to help me, but I’m just not there yet. I’m still in the designing phase. And the confidence-building phase.
So, if you have any ideas that pop into your brain that might assist me in this endeavor I would appreciate hearing them. And if you want to outline your own new business endeavor, this is the place. We can all help each other.
Thanks for your attention.
Blessings,
Pat

ParticipantWhen I lived in Sedona quite a few years ago, at the time there was a lot of talk about charging for your spiritual services. The sentiment back then was that you shouldn’t charge for offering services, but that was faulty thinking. A mentor of mine at the time took the time to instill upon us that it was ok to charge for your services because it was an exchange of energy. You deserve to be compensated for your offerings. Doesn’t matter if what you offer is of a spiritual nature.
I still think about that, and I’m still kind of stuck in that mindset that spiritual people shouldn’t be charging for what they offer, but I think it’s really erroneous to think that way. I’m just mentioning it because if anyone else is stuck in that mindset, it’s certainly something to talk about.
And if nobody is interested in this topic, that’s ok. Some things you throw out there on the off chance that it will help someone else on the forum. Or someone could come swooping in with some helpful insight from their personal experience.
The ideal is to do the thing we are passionate about, and that will be the most joyful way to earn an income. Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out how to do that. We have to go through working at jobs we don’t necessarily like, to get to the point of doing what we love. And I guess there is much to be said for finding what you do like about your present job. Attitude is a big factor, and also appreciation for what you already have. The Universe gives us what we focus on, so be careful.
Just some thoughts.

ParticipantHi Pat,
I’ll make it short for a change 😜. There are two responses I would like to offer you. One is about the thread and the subject, the other is about “what I do” hahahahaha 😂 … tuning energy.
Now for the first part, starting a business. This is all about you being involved in and around your outside larger collective. It needs interaction, understanding, flow into becoming and a vision as to where and how you are going to succeed … your business mission.
You sort of initiated this as a first concept in your two posts. Very good, I like how you position yourself, your talents and how you would like to go about. I will send you the most loving Light and all the success you desire 💕💞💓🌈As to the business itself, readings and earning money with it … I can’t be of much support. I am on a total different path myself and this is offered to me … I am guided towards this path. My path is unique for me, just as yours is unique for you.
If it feels good and keeps feeling good … it can never be wrong!! Wether the outcome is lessons of life, spirituality or measures of success for all involved. You should hold your balanced higher core in every step of the way. Always remember who you are, be and act like it and keep remembering who your “outside” self is as well … the “others”.
Finally, the energy. Since we have developed a connection and friendship over time, I am probably more open and direct to you now. I sense you better than when you first came to this forum. We have become friends.
Having said that … this thread here holds a similar energy vibration as your first one . The first one was about the “obstacle” of housing and expressing out as in asking help, support and compassion for you and your “situation”.
Your first thread had a bit of “problem solution” vibe, where the current one around the business is more a “void desire” frequency. Yet, they have in common a position of “lack” … into manifestation.So when I feel the difference, I would say you definitely upped your self and hold, act and stand on higher ground now.
Still it is all very much 3D construction where you are at … even if the subject holds spirituality as a base and a desire to assist self and others into 5D.I guess this has more to do with your “outside” self, the ones who are helping and assisting you the best they can. Their highest level, with or without pH.D … is 3D thinking and separation mentality. As you as a human are very glad and grateful for their support and confidence … you freely offer and grand them the gift of “responsibility” on your part. Please be aware of this and use discernment between what is your lesson and what is theirs!
Stay in the Now, in the Know as close to your Highest Feelings all the time. You are actually in the 5D business … Lightworker … and only partly in the 3D business … the difference is “lack” concentrated around individual and collective fear.
I’ll leave it with this for now. Much Love, very Good fortune and health Pat 🥰💓💞💕🌈😘

ParticipantPs. After writing my upper post I received some “extra clarity” that helps me … and possibly others as well.
One of the main reasons I am where I’m at now … and on my path … is because on my path in it’s current manifestation there are No popularity rewards! My life has developed into an isolated one and “judged at” partly because I had to merge with me … the purest, most authentic me … over and beyond the Love and appreciation from others.
Going a path of Self discovery is still very much looked at as in a “selfish” frequency by the collective human consciousness. Speaking and expressing your Truth, offering your Highest Lights, can still be observed and felt as very confronting or not appropriate for many vibrating at a collective level of separation awareness.
Therefore my path took me pass an experience of losing all … friends, family, money, property, status, respect and even a home to call my own … before I could continue and discover the Highest version of my Self.
Now after this experience, I’m taking care of in good health, housing and finance. Partly this is “gifted and earned” so I can speak up and be as authentic as I Feel guided to. I am free to “need” an “outer” reward of any kind … allowing me to discover the “True Unconditional Realm”.
Just thought this “message” for me, was to great and empowering as to just let it sit inside me … so I offer it out to all who like to receive it’s value and truth.
Thank you for allowing me to express myself 💓💕💞🌈🙏

ModeratorHi, Pat, there was a marketplace thread but nobody legitimate was using it. Ralph kindly pointed out that it was full of spam and after discussing it with Suzi, we deleted the thread. So your thread here will serve just fine, I’m sure.
I may have suggested this a while back and I will just mention it again. Debtors anonymous and business owners debtors anonymous are a terrific, spiritually-based free source of support, information and sharing. A related group is underearners anonymous. The group I used to go to offered periodic business plan workshops. The ongoing support at the weekly meetings was priceless.
I don’t know how much energy can be generated on this forum for this topic. I do hope others will join in but I wouldn’t rely on this as a business owners’ brainstorming resource. I just don’t think the focus of GAoG is going to bring a lot of go-getter entrepreneur types out of the woodwork.
It sounds like your sister-in-law can be very helpful with setting you up in business. If you’re not interested in one of the debtors anonymous groups, how about a local networking group like Leads? Even if you’re not fully set up, it would be a place to find other entrepreneurs and share ideas.
I recently checked on your blog and I did notice your new posts! Congratulations on continuing to build it. It’s looking great!

ParticipantThank you Catherine. That was very poetic, and refreshing!
It’s not like diabetes or high blood pressure or cancer…. It’s structural issues that have resolutions. But they still must be addressed. The aging process is challenging. You can take great care of yourself, but there is no getting around the degeneration of the body as you get up there in years. That seems to be the set up for now anyway. Eyes, teeth, bones….you do the best you can, but father/mother time has little mercy on our physicality.
The best thing to do is to go with the Flow….💧💙💦🔵🔹🟦

ModeratorOy, I so understand the “structural issues”! I’ve been complaining in various blog posts about “hip pain” since I started posting back in February…
Yesterday we bought a sturdy plastic patio bench (on sale at rite aid for only $25!🤓) and then I had to crawl around in the cramped cargo section of my old, but beloved, Saturn station wagon to shoehorn it in. It wasn’t heavy, but awkward, and I think every one of my lower-half joints was unhappy about it. 🙄 Better today, thank you, Body!
Keep us posted when you can!

ParticipantOuch! I understand hip pain. After two hip replacements, I can walk normally and feel no hip pain anymore. Titanium is my friend. I understand getting to that point, though, so I wish you well on your hip-health adventures. When we are young we don’t realize what we’re doing to our bodies by being too overly active or by doing too many repetitive actions, or when don’t get enough vitamins and nutrients in our bodies by eating properly, for example. It’s when older age hits us that we see how we’ve been treating ourselves over the years, and that’s when the chit hits the fan.
And speaking of Saturn, you have an old Saturn station wagon? I had a 1999 Saturn sedan that I loved. I had it for 16 years until someone hit me from behind and totaled it. They stopped making those cars because they were too good…lasted too long. Probably lost money on them. That’s my theory anyway.

ParticipantHere’s a comment about the subject of starting a business. When you are in the conception stage, you come to the reality that you may not be prepared for the job you are creating. That you have some things to deal with first, such as dealing with habits and mindsets that are in the way of you moving forward. I have some physical habits and mental persuasions that are in my way of starting this Reading business. The “idea” of it, or the “idea” of your business may sound wonderful, but when your feet are planted in reality, is it really feasible for you?
Then there is the situation I am experiencing where I’m having to deal with some health stuff because it would be problematic if I am sidelined by these things while trying to perform my professional duties. I think we all would like life to run smoothly and hitch-free, but it doesn’t. Not in my experience anyway.
So while you are in the conception stage of creating your business, things will probably come up that will need attending to. So you take the steps you can, and deal with the issues that come up. I used to let that type of situation defeat me because I overwhelmed myself with challenges.
Take one step at a time, that is what I am learning. That holds true for many areas of life, and equally true for when you are trying to start a new financial endeavor. What comes up to deal with each day, take that step. Don’t heap too much on your plate at once because when you feel “overwhelmed” you want to quit.
I mentioned “going with the flow.” I think that is such good advice…we’ve heard it around for a long time: “Go with the Flow.” Take each next step as they come, and be present in the moment. That’s when we are our most powerful Self. That’s when we make the best decisions.

ParticipantToday I put up a new link in my home page and named it “Store.” Then I spent several hours setting up a PayPal account and linking it to my Store page. You first have to set up a business account with PayPal, then you have to link it to your bank account, then you have to link everything to your Blog, or website. There is no charge for this which is nice, but once again, trying to do something important on WordPress is very time consuming.
I had to do a lot of research on the Internet for help. You find some good advice, but then their info turns bad or incomplete, so you have look for more information to help you the rest of the way. I guess it will all be worth it in the end, but if you are not computer savvy, or if you are not rich enough to pay other people to do the work for you, you just have to plod along.
I still have to put the PayPal buttons on my store page. That’s for another day. I need to finish my description of the “Service” I am offering first. That is taking a lot of pondering.
Part of the reason why I’m writing all this down is to hear myself think, and to get clear. I’m still formulating the service that I will be offering. I was whacking away at it today, but it’s nowhere near complete. I’ve decided not to call what I do giving Readings. I am more of a facilitator for helping others communicate with their Higher Selves. More on that another time.

You both offer valuable information, and along with all the other information I’ve been receiving from other sources, and along with writing on the blog and working on the blog and dealing with my health issues, I’ve got a load to deal with, which means I must slow down. Slowing down is not easy for a wiggle worm like me.

ModeratorWow! You are just powering away at getting your blog operable, Pat.
Mine has been set up thanks to my WP guru friend and now I get to play in it and ask for help when I need it. I know I’m extraordinarily fortunate to have her for support. I’m going to start publishing posts next week.
I’m really squeamish about hooking my bank account up to anything. So much so that I won’t do it. Overly paranoid perhaps.
I know PayPal is considered the way to go and there are safeguards etc. etc., I’m just sharing my extreme level of caution.
I wondered, Pat, if you perhaps have a favored tool or modality you could hang your shingle on, so to speak. You know—tarot or oracle cards, astrology, crystals…if I were to set myself up as a healer or counselor of some sort, I’d primarily bill myself as a Reiki master.
I realize you’re not doing “healing” per se—more like facilitating.
Have you considered a designation in the “coach” category? Personal coach, life coach, spiritual growth coach?…
Just some thoughts…
Glad you’re remembering to listen to your body and slow down. I know it’s hard to do.

ParticipantCatherine, I am excited to hear you are coming along with your blog! The world needs your information and service. And you are stepping up to the plate! YAY! I’m glad you have help. Lucky.
Regarding PayPal, I have been dealing with them for years and years, and I have never once had a problem with them. In all the websites I visit, PayPal is the way to go. I don’t even think twice about not being able to trust the PayPal system. What I am getting increasingly distrustful of is the credit card system, using my card instead of PayPal. Just a head’s up on my experience.
And I think I’m going to call myself a Facilitator. I don’t like the image of being a coach, never did. And I don’t want to be considered a “consultant” either. When you are facilitating you are directing the process, but it’s the client or customer who receives the answers from their higher sources. You are just facilitating them receiving those answers. I consider that self-empowering to the client.

ParticipantYou are right Pat … Facilitator is perfect!
When you are facilitating you are directing the process, but it’s the client or customer who receives the answers from their higher sources.
You are just facilitating them receiving those answers.
I consider that self-empowering to the client.
And this holds both your vision and mission for your “business” (the 3D stuff to remind yourself and others involved as to what is your core and your direction)
In a higher reality (into 5D) it holds your inner Light and intent as to your path and Higher mission in life … Becoming reunited IN Self.
If you always focus on empowerment … you will be the best medium for your individual and “outer” self.
Facilitator, although still a label, keeps it clean and honest. When you feel stronger and willing to expand what you have to offer, “others” are drawn to you and the service they feel they are attracted to.
You will stay a little bit longer in the twilight zone, between a 3D business service and your actual 5D one.
Just take it one step and day at a time … that’s what we all are shawn to do.
💕💓💞🌈🙏😘

ParticipantHi Pat,
I am truly impressed about what you are achieving 😲🥰👍
Now when “reading” people here and sensing a person, rather than tekst and info … I am able to start to feel this person … on a heart frequency of caring!!!
Do you see how it is a sort of “mechanism” I initiate, while in a self observation of doing it … opening up and “funnel, channel and guide” the energy towards a Higher Self awareness.
When I “do” this … I am (IN) my Higher Self state. This is also the level were I find new inspiration as well as the most authentic Truth.
Now Truth has been a very narrow band for humans for a long time … and even up to this day most humans aren’t truthful to themselves, nor others around them. Why?
Because they act according to the highest level of truthful they “know”. This truth holds huge levels of “being liked and not be hurt”!
Now why am I sharing this? Why am I sharing it here in a response to “reading” this thread?
Because I received the “message” related to you Pat, as it would be wise to hold your Being closer than your Becoming 💓
You aren’t doing anything wrong … yet, you are positioned in a time/space “situation” where the emphasis is towards becoming to a human level of achieving something.
Unfortunately yours is maintained around the “need” for money and earning a living … a huge and large “problem” you share with the human collective.Do I have a solution!? No, not directly … to the “problem” you are holding. This is where humanity unfortunately is kept in a “fix the money” problem. And as you believe it and go with it, it becomes your reality, your truth and you start contributing to this “human prison lack construction”.
So no solution to this level. I do hope to have offered an honest “higher” truth around how many of us are constantly pulled back in the “normal accepted” human collective matrix.
Please, if you can … try to focus daily on less becoming and more being. Why?
Because the “becoming” part of of humanity has been compromised and held hostage. This is how we are collectively trapped in the “darker” lack frequencies.
Our economy, our politics, our adoration, our health and many more parts of our current daily life is traped in these “lower” human truths.
Why is this working? Because we let it and allow it to blind us. Becoming is a Divine frequency to Be reunited with Source. You Know this. You Feel this. No one needs to act out .. of gaining Love or anything else. So lack IS an illusion to keep you out of the now and into linear time constructs of achieving … under the pretence of … “becoming good”.
Hope you see how the “becoming good” trick keeps you out of “Being Good”.
Finally Pat. Please receive this “message” as something you allowed me to receive. Because I got it from you as a friend and holding a caring feeling and intention.
This isn’t only valuable information for or at you, but for me and others as well. Thank you for having inspired me to receive it and share it here.
Much Love 💕💓💞🌈🙏😘

ParticipantPs. Many of us, stay huge parts of their daily life (conscious and unconscious energy frequency) … in a fixing world problems around them … rather than “improving” self awareness.
As long as people live in a “separation” reality from “One another” they prefer to fix or adjust the “others on the outer” rather than the Self on the inner.
There is no outer … just as there is no inner!! However, the inner holds a Higher Self awareness towards Oneness, Light and Love as a unity frequency expanding … while an outer, emphasizes individuality and separation.
The Highest awareness is in finding, holding and feeling the balance IN ALL.

ParticipantI am liking more and more the idea of being a facilitator for contacting the Higher Self of other people, so they can receive information that helps them move forward on their path. Turns out where I’m living is helping me gain experience. I have been receiving higher information that I simply go with, to help bring clarity to the couple who are in a confused state right now. The couple where I’m living think they want a divorce, but what I see is that they are so attuned to each other (been married for 34 years) that I think they just need some space. The Covid situation has played havoc on their relationship, like it has with so many people. These two just need to let the dust settle so they can see more clearly, in my view.
Having kid makes the situation harder. In my view, this couple are high level parents and they are doing a great job with their two kids. When you are working, have kids to deal with, have this Covid situation to deal with, have your own personal needs and desires, plus the needs and desires of the relationship…that’s a lot of stuff to deal with. This is a time for getting clear about what you want in life for all of us.
I spend my days getting clearer and clearer on what I have to offer clients as a facilitator of higher self communication. My store is set up, all I need to do is continue refining my services and what I have to offer. Then somehow advertise. One step at a time, though. People need help. I’ve needed a lot of help in my life, and so I understand the need to solicit the services of others so you can get clear about how to move forward on your spiritual path.
The key concept is “one step at a time.” You simply cannot go faster than you can go. Especially when you are intending to help others. Soon though, I will open for business. Just need to gather the gumption to do it.

I wondered, Pat, if you’d thought of creating some kind of initial visit intake guide? Not necessarily for your client to fill out, but to guide you with questions to ask.
Maybe that’ll be part of your business plan. 🤩

ParticipantHello my friends. Lots of stuff’s been going on so I haven’t been able to write here or on my blog. And you’ll never guess what…. Turns out that while I may have some ability to be a Facilitator for helping others access their Higher Self for messages they need, my heart is not in it. At this point, after all the preparation I’ve done to get clear about how to proceed in that direction, all it feels like now is work. The thought of doing it feels like work. And I am retired. I don’t want to feel like I’m in the workday grind anymore.
Just like in life you have to be prepared for twists and turns and outcomes you hadn’t expected. Starting a business can be the same way, I guess. Unless you really know what you want to do. I came to realize that while I like helping people, I was viewing this Higher Self Facilitator as just a way to pay rent. But you know what? I already work at this in my personal life…I already help others on their path in this way for free. It’s just something I do. I like helping others when I don’t feel forced into it.
So I was doing a lot of pondering today and came to some interesting conclusions. I am going to take the rest of my post to my “Moving” thread so please go there for the rest of the story. Thx
