Spirited Entrepreneur Spotlight: James Wells of Circle Ways
One of the concerns I hear most often, especially from my “metaphysical peeps” (Tarotists, astrologers, Reiki healers, etc) is, “But Elizabeth, I don’t know to make that work in my business!”

If you’re used to working mostly in short, 1-on-1 sessions, it can be a challenge to wrap your head around more leveraged ways of working, like group programs, information products and higher-end services, such as the VIP day idea that I mentioned in my last article.  (That goes for everyone – I just hear the concern from my metaphysical peeps most often.)

That’s why I was thrilled when my friend James Wells told me that after reading the VIP day article, he immediately implemented VIP days of his own. How did he do it?  He simply took one of the processes he was already doing with his clients and repackaged it. Simple, easy, elegant… and knowing James, I have no doubt that he’s either booked his first day, or will have one booked very soon.

The truth is, all businesses have opportunities to re-package and re-position their services to create leverage – and that includes yours. Maybe not every idea fits your business, and that’s fine!  But the opportunities are there.  The problem comes when you let your critical mind rule out an idea too soon.

Instead of dismissing an idea, ask yourself, “Well, if I could implement that, what could it look like?” It’s probably a lot less complicated than you think.

And if you really can’t see these opportunities, get support. Take a class, get a coach. We all have blind spots – don’t let yours keep you from missing out on the golden opportunities that are right in front of you!

Special PS: James is one of the best, most skilled and most insightful Tarot consultants I know. He read for me at an industry event a few years ago – just a short reading, mind – and it completely knocked me down.  He’s based in the Toronto area and also consults via telephone.  You can book a session or sign up for his newsletter at circleways@yahoo.ca, or learn more about him via his blog.
