The card of the day is the EMPEROR.

You might be holding the world in the palm of your hands, but do you know what to do with it? The presence of this card tells me that you do know, or that you want to find out. In my mind, the Emperor is boss and he got to his position of power by taking a series of small organized steps that supported his mission and he used every opportunity that was presented to him. If I were to generate a list of attributes that capable leaders have I would include: organization, the ability to focus ideas and implement a plan of action, effective communication, charisma, and strength.

What attributes do you think a capable leader should have? Take a moment and write done 5 skills that you think are necessary for people who are in a position of power.

Your assignment: Choose someone in your environment who has a leadership style that you want to model and apply the skills you see in practice to your own life.

If you haven’t done so already, leave a comment! We would love to know what skills you think a capable leader should have. If you are taking on a leadership position in your own life – what is it and where did you begin?

 

 

Ace of Wands: Cultivate with Care

The card of the day is the ACE OF WANDS.

The appearance of this card tells me you have new energy at your disposal that is lighting a fire under your butt.  I know, you have a to-do list a mile long and the only thing you can think is that I want all of this done NOW so I can spend some time with this new idea. My question for you is: Are you clear about the what, when, how, and where of directing this new-found energy? It is important to recognize that this force is in its infancy and will need a lot of support to grow into something tangible.

My advice is to tend to your ideas like you are caring for a newborn baby: by being gentle, applying TLC, and by guiding and supporting this new growth.

Since you are at the beginning, it might be wise to create a sequence for getting your work done. Have a calendar handy? Make sure you pencil in what is you want to get done today that is directly related to this new idea. Have an idea you are not sure what to do with? Maybe you should bounce your ideas off a friend who is known to motivate.

Cultivate your ideas with care and don’t be scared of doing something wrong. Nothing will be ruined, you are at the beginning, just apply the energy and see where it takes you. Let your intuition be your guide, it will lead you in the right direction every time.

Have an idea you are bringing to fruition? Already been applying TLC to get your idea off the ground? Let us know how YOU do it in the comments section. Forums are great for support and brainstorming!
