Confusion - help requested

[ellenk]

Hello, everyone. May this find you well.

I am re-visiting working with IChing after a rather long time away.

I have a situation with a business that has been developing for a bout 2 years. About 4 weeks ago, a man called me "out of the blue", saying he had seen my ad in a national magazine, and wanted to "explore" the possibility of representing my products as he felt drawn to them and thought he might be of help. (I say "out of the blue" because just days earlier I set a pretty big intention for my business this year, and asked the Universe for help.)

4-5 exploratory conversations later and

a) suggestions for major revisions to my product
b) no concrete proposal for how he will help and
c) a much bigger plan than he originally proposed

has me wondering if I should just gently close the door this inquiry.

My first reading was rather broad in my inquiry:

"Wisdom & guidance fot what is going on; what do about this person; is this the kind of person to bring into the business and with whom I want a working relationship?"

Yielded

20 changing into 56, with changing lines in the 3,4,5 positions.

Then I asked something more specific:

"What is the nature of the outcome of a decision to invite M to represent TFM (my business)?

Which yielded 50 - no changing lines.

I use the Huang translation and feel I really do not understand what I am hearing.

What I think is:

Outcome for what I am doing over all is good and will be well received.
Yet I need to be mindful of my objectives/intentions to ensure they are in alignment with the Universe. And that my motivations are pure.

And that while I need to be careful of who I let in, I need to be equally mindful of m actions and the example I set when discussing my concerns/issues with him.

Your thoughts and insights are welcome,

In gratitude,

Ellen

This is about thinking things through and making the right choice to take this person on board, he should be left to do his own thing as he knows how to make your company prosper, so think of the results that he can produce. Hex 56 is like a travelling salesman and takes the product to every nook and cranny.

Then I asked something more specific:

"What is the nature of the outcome of a decision to invite M to represent TFM (my business)?

Which yielded 50 - no changing lines.

The nature of the outcome is success.

Hi Ellen,
It seems to me that your focus should not be on this person, but on contemplation of your self in relation to the principles of right thought and action. This contemplation will make the answer to your concern clear to you. Energy flows wherever our attention goes.
