Hi Mona,
I was driving back from the 2007 Fiery Foods Show in Albuquerque on last night 03/04/07 and found your radio show on a back AM station. I was drawn in and have to say I found your straightforward and quick readings very fresh. I don't take a lot of what others say but always take an honest word for what I can. So today I looked you up and now I am writing you not that I am shy to call in I just don't know if I can remember to call in. So I saw your email option and here it goes.
I have started a new path with a new career and I always think about way too much stuff: What if I do this? What if I call him? What next? I can fill pages with these thoughts and ideas at night but when it comes down to starting some or even one item, It starts more. It is very exciting and powerful I want to see how I can I find focus and try to get a handle on my own creativity and try to finish a goal or an idea.
I am very fortunate with my new company and it has blossomed with a lot of possibilities I feel that this Hot idea will open the other doors I keep creating, so here is the but... How do I find the focus I need to take the steps to get the right doors open? What do your cards say?
The Shark
Dear Shark,
Your motto needs to become “Act first; apologize later” (if necessary). The reason you worry so much is you’re afraid to act. If you don’t act, then you won’t make a mistake, right? It’s easier to keep planning for action, which is why at night you can fill up a page of “to dos” but when it comes to action, you freeze up. When you create that list, choose the most important item and e-mail it to yourself before you go to bed.
I would like you to become “The Shark” When you get worried and when you find yourself distracted by the “Monkey Mind” imagine a shark eating that monkey. I know that sounds really silly, but I want you to realize that you have all the control to make this venture a success.
My cards tell me that you find your “flow” by the end of this month and you become very adept at dismissing the baloney (a.k.a. worry) and acting when it’s appropriate. Your cards also tell me that you will do very well at this opportunity. The secret to your success will be becoming a good listener. When you really listen to someone else, you loose that turmoil in your mind, because you are receiving information and in turn, business.
Your clients will say that you are so attentive to what they need, because you really hear what they want. This is not about “telling sales” this is about “receiving sales.” The game will become easy for you and you’ll get to the point that when you’re in front of a client (and hearing what they want) you have 95% chance of closing the sale.
I see you in this job for about three years. After that time, you will either be promoted or you will start your own business (or another one). You will learn that the real reason your mind fills up with ideas is that you are able to handle a great deal of stress and responsibility. You just haven’t decided to look at the way your mind works as a gift, right now you think it’s a burden because it works so fast. I promise that if you treat each client right now as though they are telling you the most important thing in the whole world, you will be wildly successful.
Thank you for writing! Mona
