Business Success: I’m Going to Give a Psychic Reading: Help!
February 3rd, 2012I have conversations with many talented sensitives who are terrified of giving readings to people. Often, these people have secured offers at various companies to supplement their incomes by offering phone readings to customers at any time of day they choose to work. Why is it then after their psychic reading has been tried and tested are they so terrified to login and pick up the phone?
Frightened of Getting it Wrong
When questioned, each decent psychic reader’s biggest fear is getting it wrong. “What if people think I’m a charlatan”? “What if I freeze and can’t pick up any information for them?” These are the two soul searching questions each psychic reader fears and holds them up from starting their psychic business.
How to Overcome Your Fear of Giving Psychic Readings
If you’re trembling at the idea of giving a psychic reading even though people have told you how great you are at them I have to say, good on you! If you were not terrified there would be something wrong with you. Terror at the idea of giving a psychic reading is healthy. Why? It means you will always strive to be better. Complacency within this business creates very poor results.
Healthy V Destructive Fear
There is a difference though between a healthy fear and a destructive fear. Healthy fear means you’ll do it anyway. Your desire to help someone is larger than you. If you can think along these lines you’ll be fine. Doing something for a greater reason than yourself means fear soon disappears. Recognising you have a talent for something that helps people means that whatever you do within it will be of service.
Unhealthy fear means you’ll be restricted in most areas of your life from this day to the end. When your fear becomes unhealthy you continue to collect qualifications which are in many instances something you can’t afford. There is a time for you to actually use them, to see some return on your investment. At this point it’s about using your psychic talents to help others and to re-gain a balance between your financial input and output.
Be in Control: How to Start a Psychic Reading
The number one fear around giving psychic readings is the idea you’ll not receive any information and therefore accused of cold-reading or fishing for answers.
To solve your fear I recommend when giving psychic readings you decide two things:
- Are you someone who has a speciality or is your speciality general psychic readings?
- Give your client a quick outline of how you work. This defines the boundaries of what’s acceptable. This way no one will ever speak to you badly or with an intimidating tone.
By outlining how you work and knowing what areas of life are important to your client you are then getting into your reading quickly. This minimises time wasting and makes sure your client receives information on the area that’s important to them. That means they are happier quicker, and are not paying for any areas which are not ultimately of interest to them. This also makes sure you are continually on your toes, wishing to provide the best service you can. If you always have this in mind, you’ll never need to be frightened or short of work again…
Thank you so much Heidi. Started working professionally over 5+ years ago as psychic, exactly as you outlined. Have had wonderful feedback for my readings and yet still terror at logging on and actually doing it. Thank you for your practical advice. Very in harmony too with the conclusion I have recently come to in that I know I am genuine and really do want to assist others. By thinking of how I can help, without becoming overwhelmed, I can now go forward more successfully, it has been a nightmare financially and yet I really love my work and my clients and the wonderful healing, wise loving energies and entities of this universe. Blessings to you, thank you for putting into words this horrible turmoil and battle I have experienced for far too long.

Heidi What amazing guidance you give, I am a very experienced psychic with over 20 years experience in this industry – My work involves TV, Radio and other Media and I do have to say even now I still sometimes get overwhelmed by the responsibility entrusted upon me.
You are so right fear is a healthy response as it shows you care about the clients you are reading for. I love your concept of the desire to help others over-riding any fear/ doubt that may cause in-action / non action, Fear often makes us do the things we shouldn’t instead of doing the things we should – it is quite liberating to feel the fear and still do it anyway ! the lightworkers path in life isn’t a easy one on all levels ! its hard work ! but I can honestly say it is the most rewarding and thanks to your guiding words there will be more lightworkers actually working out there ! instead of being stuck in waste-land of doubts and insecurities which would be a real shame and a waste of amazing energy and gifted talent x
Many Thanks again Heidi x
