Mercury in Retrograde & Your Practice
If you follow astrology, you know that Mercury is in retrograde through November 10 (today, thank goodness!) According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, these time periods can cause our plans to go awry. I experienced this first hand earlier this week.
(For someone who believes it’s possible to go beyond the effects of planetary movements and not be affected, I’d have to say woo-hoo! It’s ends today!)
I was excited to host a brand new free call on “3 Steps to Getting Booked Quickly thru Talks, and Double Your Client Base”. It’s been something that has been brewing up in me for several months. I was excited about sharing publicly for the first time my secrets of what helped me have 5 figure months within the first year of business primarily thru doing talks. I got on the phone to host the talk and felt my heart racing. I was so nervous.
Giving just the right amount of content & type of content is a skill that requires mastery. It’s the kind of thing that leads to getting clients/patients from talks, instead of people coming up to you after your talk just saying “that was a great talk!” It’s the kind of skill that allows you to be educational and inspirational, while at the same time help someone see the need to take the next action step with you (aka book with you).
What had gone wrong during my talk? I had not honored my need for preparation. As someone who is well aware of my shortcomings, I need to prepare and be very organized with my thoughts instead of just letting my thoughts flow randomly during a talk that’s done for the purpose of not only being helpful but also inspiring people to take the next step. I felt embarrassed because here I was teaching people how to get booked and how to get more clients from talks…and what did I do? I screwed up getting clients from my talk. I also felt like I didn’t tie points in very well.
Many times in life, you only have one chance. The people who were on that call were on that call only once. Unfortunately, I wonder whether some of the people who really needed what I could show them during the upcoming Get Booked Immersion won’t be experiencing it because of what happened, because of my shortcomings during the talk.
If you’re not doing talks, but you’ve had enough with spinning your wheels doing all kinds of marketing (and clients aren’t seeking you out), what are you not honoring in yourself by not committing to getting this figured out? (FYI-it doesn’t have to be doing talks)

Then comment below…do you believe in Mercury in Retrograde? Do you feel your practice was affected by it this time?
Murcury retrograde always gives me the jerks & jolts so was unable to fulfill my plans but even we should thank God for everything to save us from more bad?
