Hello Sarah! In completing this reading for you, the main things that really stuck out for me were in fact financial and business-related matters. Your business in particular really sticks out for me - as it truly is I feel your world aside from family … it is extremely close to your heart. From what I am being told and shown hon, you have definitely come a long way. You have gone through the "wringer of life" a few times over. A few times you have had to start over as well. Many times it more than likely felt like "one step forward - two steps back" in your progress. But this time around Sarah I really feel that all the love, patience, nurturing and endurance throughout the toughest of times is really going to start paying off. Over the last year or so I feel that you have really come to sort of a standstill within your business. Don't get me wrong it is nothing bad at all! It's just that you were mainly reaping what you had already sown so to speak and taking that time to contemplate your next move (or moves) within your business. But also you were just getting the general feel in how the business is running, how to maintain it, become comfortable with it, and also studying just how much potential the business itself truly has. Throughout this time period there were many questions swirling around in your mind: Where should I go from here? What more can I do? What else can I do in order to make the business grow and prosper? Am I doing something wrong here? Why aren't things going as well as I want them to? Slowly but surely all these answers are being revealed to you - as you are ready for them. NOW is the time to start implementing all those changes you have been thinking about. You know just as well as I that everything happens for a reason - and all happens in its own due course and time. You have done extremely well in going with your intuition on everything. It has definitely served you well. But one thing I have noticed is that always … ALWAYS … when something is trying to be worked out for the good of others - intuition (and yes - magic as well) is always at its strongest. I am getting every indication here that you are definitely right on track in regards to your life path, Sarah. There are also very strong indications here that this is all according to Divine's plan for you. Your business was meant to happen. It was all meant to be. It is all just a matter of time before you actually get to where you want to be. But I get the feeling from you that you actually already know this. So with that said I do have one question for you hon: What is it exactly that you are so frightened of? There is no failure here. Just trial and error. When I spoke to you the other day I picked up on this subtle fear from you - I just couldn't put my finger on WHAT could be making you feel this way. In delving deeper for you for this reading … I think I have it now. You fear many things in regards to the business … fearing many losses and not enough gains is just one example. There are many "buts" and "what ifs" still rolling around in your mind. Which I must admit that is completely normal! But … you also must learn to be able to sometimes just "let go" and try to allow Divine to take control of the steering wheel for a while. This fear that you have Sarah - it is really the ONLY thing holding you and your business back in progress. You are carrying so much weight on your shoulders, Sarah. You are only one person hon and you cannot handle everything on your own - which I will also get into further with you shortly as well. What is being said to me to tell you Sarah is this: Plan out each new idea very carefully. Then once you introduce a "new idea" or "tool" within the business … let it go. See what happens with it. Sure there will be little kinks and quirks along the way, but seriously they won't be too much to worry about. They will disappear just as quickly as they are discovered. The main message that must be stressed to you at this time Sarah is that YOU DO have the power within yourself to make all the changes you want. I am being shown that many changes are going to actually take place within the business itself over the next 4 to 5 months. There will in fact be more of a customer base for you to work with, but in order for this to happen - tap into that power I just mentioned to you. I am getting an indication here that more promoting and advertising is needed. I know that you have been in fact doing this, but apparently there is so much more you could be doing in that aspect. I am seeing not so much as neglect - neglect is much too strong of a word - "lacking" seems to be a little more appropriate in this case. Perhaps you should consider asking presently hired help to aid you with promotions and/or advertisings? It is at least one consideration. Don't be afraid to ask for whatever help you may require. I think you will be surprised at the amount of support you truly do have out there hon. And once again - nothing to fear. Nothing to lose. No harm in asking around. Right? Research your options … get yourself more known. Sarah I see that you will in fact do extremely well finance and business-wise in a few more months (I feel roughly 5 months from now - more than likely closer to the beginning of the sixth month). New changes within the business will be a contributing factor of course. But there is a warning also that I must make you aware of. Of course all changes I am seeing here are in fact wonderful for you - actually wonderful for all involved. But as you know there is always good and bad in mostly all things. Sarah, I am seeing that once you get through these next 4 or 5 months, you will like I mentioned become much more financially stable (both personally as well as within the business). This is when the warning must be heeded - and I am actually talking from personal experience! Don't get overly comfortable with material things hon. Don't all of a sudden go splurging with whatever profits you start to see. If you start doing this, Sarah you may in fact dig yourself into a deeper hole than what you were in before. And once this happens - it is twice as hard to get yourself out. With this said, would you maybe start to consider what you would like to put some of your assets towards? For example, a retirement fund, new home, vacation fund, something of that sort. Possibly even stocks? Please promise me that you will save what you can. Don't overindulge in material things. Like I mentioned I am talking from personal experience. I once had a lot of money in the bank … all of which I allowed to get squandered away. And now … I really have nothing to show for it and am in a much bigger bind than what I was before I even had the money! The temptation will be there for you very strongly sweetie - don't fall victim to it. The advice I am being told to tell you sweetie is to wait one full year before you actually go out and really splurge on something extravagant. Don't get me wrong, of course you can spend what you need to as always, and don't forget the small treats for yourself once in a while. But there IS a line that must be drawn for now. My new personal philosophy is this: If ever I get a large bank account again, I will just continue to live the way I did before I fell into the money. Let the balance grow and expand for a while. Then, after a good amount of time has passed, THEN go for the gold! All I am saying hon is just play it safe when you start to really see the profits coming in. And they will - very shortly! Like I said just go with the flow of things - it will all happen for you. Hey, it has so far! Just keep at it … and try to let go of some of that fear. You mentioned to me that you have a book in the works. But for some reason I am actually seeing more than one book (three to be exact). Is this correct? Maybe there is one book you are thinking of doing and haven't really started working on it yet? Two of these books I feel will in fact be published (privately published - meaning not through a publishing house. Looks like you will be publishing them on your own?) within roughly a year. The third book - the one I feel that is still in the back of your mind - I don't feel it coming for quite some time yet, and it actually has something to do with running a business (which makes sense to me if I think about it more - of course the book would be coming later when it has something to do with running a business. Right now you are still "learning" yourself. How can a person write about something they themselves are just learning?). Unfortunately Sarah hon I don't feel that the first two books will do too well after some time has passed from their release date. The books will be selling in the beginning - as you will have by then made a name for yourself and people will be very interested in seeing and reading what you have written - but excitement for them will die down a few months after release … IF YOU DON'T KEEP UP ON THE PROMOTIONS AND GENERAL EXPOSURE FOR THEM. Books are hard to sell - me talking from personal experience once again (speaking as a freelance editor). It is an extremely competitive market out there - and it's even harder for "unpublished" authors to get heard. Also talking from personal experience, for new authors a very good way to get "noticed" is by selling their works on BOTH Ebay.com and Amazon.com. I have actually worked with a few new self-published authors that have in fact used both venues for selling their books - and they have said that sales have gone very well for them. So with that said Sarah, that is definitely something you should consider! But as far as publishing the books themselves hon, I see absolutely no problems in the process and they will in fact be well done. If you keep up on the promoting and exposure of them, they will be great assets to you. Definitely don't let that fall behind, otherwise like I warned they might not be as much of a success as what they should be. Remember: You have the power within yourself to achieve all that you aspire for. I know it's hard sometimes to keep that in mind … but it is nonetheless true - for ALL of us in fact. There will be some bumps and jogs along the way over the next 5 to 6 months sweetie, but like I said it's nothing you can't handle and overcome. Over this time period you will still definitely be planting those seeds within the business and allowing them to grow and flourish into beautiful full blossoms, ironing out all the kinks and quirks along the way. But then, I am so very pleased and relieved (for you) to say that the worst phase will be over. You will have (like I mentioned before) quite the peaceful and plentiful time. Just don't take it for granted … otherwise once again you will be doing that mixed up "one step forward two steps back" dance of life. One other thing we wished to touch upon was your son. There are some plans of him moving out on his own! That is truly great news - but also nerve-wracking news - for BOTH of you. Yes … I said both of you. As a mother hon of course you will feel this way … but your son is feeling the same as you and has many questions swirling around in his mind. I do see this as happening hon - I feel roughly towards the end of summer, possibly early fall, but unfortunately it will not be the smooth changeover that you are really hoping for. It will be quite the emotional time. Even though he seems to show happiness and excitement to you for himself and this great new venture, inside hon there is a lot of apprehension and nervousness (he is truly a very warm, loving and kind person. He really loves you and doesn't want to hurt you in any way, so this is why he hides some of this emotion from you. He sees you happy and doesn't want to "ruin it" for you). He wonders how things will go for him, how well he will do on his own, what will he do when you aren't around, on and on. He does seem to depend on you quite a bit, which I know can be quite overwhelming at times for you. But understand that you are really all he has known - all he has had throughout his life. I am getting hon that he didn't really have a father around much of the time as a child - all I see is you and him spending all your time together. He was your world, and you were his. And this is still the case Sarah. He has become quite accustomed to the relationship you have had all these years. So with that said hon that really adds to his apprehension and wonderment of what he will do without you being around all the time. This move will happen, as I mentioned. But, I would really take into consideration the possibility of him wanting to move back with you once again. He will try it on his own. He will definitely give it his best shot - but I feel that this time away from each other may last roughly two or three months (maximum three months). In the end Sarah I do see him as returning. However, as you know nothing is written in stone. So this COULD in fact be diverted if maybe you would consider visiting him more often than what you will, or plan on doing things with him more often than what you would. You do need to show him that no matter where he is or where you are - that you will ALWAYS be there for him. This will hopefully ease his apprehension and fear of the unknown. All in all Sarah you are in for many great changes financially and business-wise within the next half-year … and even moreso after one full year has passed. I know it has been a long time coming - but like I mentioned all of your hard work and efforts will pay off in the end! You are almost there as it is - just a little further and you will be there. Try to let go of Mr. Fear and Mrs. Worry and ride with the tide Sarah. Shortly it will be time for you to take that long-awaited and deserved rest. You have been through so much - you will like I said still go through some small aches and pains - but it will all be rewarded. I hold great admiration for you Sarah. What I am receiving about your past and all that you have gone through - not only within the business but within your personal life also - you are a wonderful lady and you definitely deserve much. Your superb inner strength and loving qualities have seen you through the toughest of times in your life - just as it has throughout the growing pains of your business. You have come a long way - and within the next few months you will start to see the rewards. And all according to Divine planning. Much love to you Sarah. You have all my love, thoughts and prayers. And if ever you need just someone to chat with, I will always be there for you. And I am very excited for you and the upcoming months! I would love to hear any updates you will soon have. In Love and Light to you always, Lisa
