assistance w/job question

[empowers77]

oops, originally posted this in the wrong section! This is my first post.

Hi Everyone .. Just discovered this site - love it! I have worked with and been guided by the IChing for 3 years and love the continued discovery into self & comic awareness!

My question is: I just recently started a new job, straight commission (sales) and feel some resistance around it (getting on the phone to prospect for appts), but also feel excitement about the possibilities, service we provide for people, income potential, etc. My question was: GUIDANCE ON MY ACTION STEPS TO TAKE FOR MY GREATEST GROWTH & ABUNDANCE WITH THIS COMPANY.

I got 63 - After the End (no changing lines)
hmmm .. so I felt like ok, got some guidance out of that. There is a decline about to take place after a time of balance. Pay attention to the small efforts (like just getting on the damn phone and making the calls - lol). But one of the books I looked at talked about this isn't a simple decline as in 41 (which I got the other day regarding asking about some back pain I was having. 19 changing into 41) but a decline of a long-term tendency.

So I asked if I needed to do another hexagram for further clarity - got a yes. So, this is what I got ... And I could really use some insight & guidance from all the Sages out here in onlineclarity

The further guidance hexagram was: 16 (enthusiasm) changing into 47.
whoa .. 47 can be a tough one.

Any advice?? or insight.

namaste to all -
Elizabeth

Here hex 63 means that you have gained the job you wanted, you have done it, you got it but don't think it is the end, this is just the beginning for you. If you want to keep this job and make some money you are going to have to really keep at it, really put some effort into it, otherwise the job will go into a decline and you will be out looking for another. You have no time to relax in this job, your engine must be always running. Thats how you will have to act in order to grow and make money.

I agree with Willowfox. Kudos to you for getting the job you wanted, and you are likely to enjoy much success as long as you heed the warning of Chi Chi - remain on guard against incorrect thoughts, attitudes and actions in yourself and in others. If you get swayed by the wrong things, like gossip, remember to keep yourself focused on the right things.

Thank you Willowfox & Laurie! You both helped. There is more to this question for me (in asking the question in a different way), and perhaps around why I feel "stuck" (around prospecting/cold calling & organzing) .. then maybe I'll get to the root of it.

peace,
