Hello nice people :bows:
could you please shed some light for me on this reading regarding the question:
What/how many/ financial gain would I get out of selling home made products? 13.2>1 :confused:
Of course, I had to get the "difficult" line changing... :rant:
From what I have understood, I am being advised to be open and not to restrict myself in the ways of selling or creating the thing...but what the text really talks of when mentioning ancestors?
Just to be perfectly clear, I am not asking about fulfillment, creativity, keeping myself busy, etc. just want to know about the possibility of financial gain as I was and will do it as a hobby in any case but I would have to make an investment (not just of time spent) and I have to play it safe.
Please advise, thank you :bows:

What's the how many part in your question?
Is that two questions in one?

Ahm, did not ask in English...was trying to stress the money making part...the idea was to check if it would bring any notable financial gain...in that sense.

Fellowship with Men to The Creative

Heaven together with fire, then the movement of heaven is full of power.

Success in terms of financial gain depends on who your customers are, and how you extend your base of customers, and if you do this right and sell to the right people or get the right people involved, it will spark a strong creative momentum that will carry itself, due to your customers spreading the word, etc. This, most likely, bringing prospect for huge financial gain.

Solid advice from the I Ching (as I see it): if you're thinking of taking a hobby and making it a money-maker, priority #1 is "think of the customers" and "the customers carry the business"

This seems to be saying take a look at both sides of a coin. This particular coin at the moment being about who you interact with to make the money. Perhaps the customers and maybe also helpers.

On one side, 13 can be about people of like minds. Do you know others you could join with to make this homemade stuff? Or possibly other people who would let you set up a table in their store or on their website? On the other side of the coin, line 2 gives a picture of what could happen if you choose to close yourself in to a set group of people.

Maybe the reading is just a hint at looking at who you can work with, and who you shouldn't. One side says associate yourself with those with similarities. The other side says don't be afraid to set yourself apart and outside of this realm of association.

This is all along with the guidance of 1, to do and act for the higher purpose. Good luck to you. It is the wish of many people to do what they like to do to gain money. You do like making these homemade things right? :) One last thought, maybe it is saying, don't just sell to your friends, you won't make a whole lot of money that way.

Thank you mryou1,
I don`t know...am not overly ambitious, but would create a FB page, offer friends to spread the word and maybe this one handmade store may be interested in it. But as a serial product to some extent, it should be well planned (artist of the multiple in me talking) and don`t want to put too much into it if it won`t pay. But I gather you find it worth a go. Thanks again.
answeredquestions,
Yes, i used to make these little quilts and pillows for my friends, hard to take money from a friend. I think of others as a competition, for now..only friends give a good vibe so far.
Maybe I am reminded not to make the past mistakes - only being friendly, not thinking business wise haha as if I ever was.
But the question was will it make moneys...so I am to gather it will if I act more entrepreneurial (had to look it up)?

I would see 13.2 as telling you to move BEYOND friends (in terms of selling only, of course).

"fellowship in the clan; this is not a proper way of relating" in this sense would have a different meaning, i.e., to go beyond the "clan" with selling.

yeah, I understand dragona.. and it is hard to not want to give things away to friends for less or even free. So maybe the advice on how to make money thru this craft is like you said, to think like an entrepreneur. To really gain some monetary momentum you will have to take a risk and think outside of the box. Sell to strangers? :)

Still intending to go forward with my idea, and with one thing in particular to start with, I asked about advice how it will result (can`t recall specific formulation of the question)if I go as thought about it and got hex 61 unchanged!
According to this poetic article http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/learn/gua/hexagrams/hexagram61.php
especially this part:Of course, this is the ideal moment for crossing the great river and committing yourself to a new venture - and because your inspiration is coming from the right place, there will be a rich harvest from constancy.
it gave me the idea of a vehicle to take me further, but I may be projecting my own wishes only.
Interesting answer for entrepreneurial question, I think....and a beautiful message within, according to Hillary`s take on it. :)
Bit since I am not Hilary, i may be missing something important here also -am I?:rolleyes:

What are these hand made things? Could 13.2 be pointing out to making money from snobby people while using your creativity?

61 does sound auspicious..

Could 13.2 be pointing out to making money from snobby people while using your creativity? Great, how you came to this meaning of the line? It would be a bit about that, yes in terms of quilts and these things are not very popular here but are liked and quite expensive...
61 does sound auspicious..Looks like it, doesn`t it?
When I would get it before and only a few times, it would make me think to look deeper into things but here is somewhat different nature of question and the unchanged outcome..
Thank you:bows:
