My successes as a professional tarot reader.

As I did earlier post about my mistakes, I also now wanted to think where I have succeeded.
It's so much harder to think where we are good or doing great, compared to thinking of our mistakes! But I wanted to squeeze something positive out of my brain 🧠

1. I'm approachable.
I was warned in the beginning how my black and white colour scheme and my personal gothic look might put people off. I did change my original logo of the mink skull sculpture I had made, as many associated it with an attacking snake at first glance.
Despite my dark look, I've had feedback that I'm very approachable! I'm so happy to hear that my black clothes, tattoos and piercings aren't off putting after all. I'm proud of my people skills and I'm putting customer services and care first.

2. I've made my services accessible.
This is something I'm very proud of in full honesty. I have multiple hidden disabilities myself, so I've put a lot of effort and time in thinking how I can make my services accessible. I can do readings in many ways: by texting, by email, by video- or voice call, face-to-face at the Faerie Shop as well as home visits. I also do events and fairs. I've also made my services accessible for people with financial difficulties. I do charity readings here and there, with different organisations and I'm also happy to do readings for a small donation of completely free of charge to those who might need it the most.

3. I'm the admin of the Tarot East Sussex - Network group on Facebook.
I was looking for a local tarot community for ages and couldn't find any. So, I created one! Now we have a bit over 100 members and we post about local tarot services and events. We do book recommendations and have regular conversations about all and everything to do with tarot. I'm also now organising a few meet-up events for us across East Sussex, first, casual one happening in Brighton in spring time and a workshop/small conference event in Eastbourne during the summer solstice! Free for all tarot enthusiasts of course.

4. I've found my own style and way with tarot.
As I've mentioned before, I don't identify myself as a psychic as such. I have a more therapeutic, down-to-earth and person-centred approach to tarot. I'm not channelling messages from higher beings or claim to see the clients spirit guides (it's totally up to my client if they want to see it this way). I'm not focusing on fortune telling. Instead, I focus on my clients abilities on reaching their goals by boosting their self confidence and self love while giving them guidance in their options. 

5. I'm involved with my local community.
I go where the people are and make myself known as a tarot reader. I volunteer locally, I get together with other small businesses for events, I attend fairs. People reach out to me because they have seen me out and about, I'm not just a website or social media page. I often end up into conversations about tarot when I'm out at the pub and given my card or details for people who have been interested in my work.

These are the things I can be proud of so far. I'm still relatively young in my tarot journey, especially when compared to the tarot professionals with life long careers. But I am a tarot student for life and I've had so many great moments so far! I'm very keen to see what the future years bring. Knowledge, good practices, new skills.
