Foot in door 50.2>56

[ontheroad]

How could I get my foot in the door for this industry?

Hexagram 50.2>56

This sounds like this it's a good thing for me to getting on with however there's others that may not think so and criticise or be envious of what I'd like to achieve.

I do have a friend who has plenty of money and a luxurious home who has retired early and doesn't want to work ever again and thinks I should just be happy with where I'm at.....

Hex 56 may indicate I have to 'travel' further before it becomes a reality and/or relocate to get a foot in the door.

Hi Ontheroad,
H50 is about integrating and combining elements into something new, H56 about adapting to new circumstances, exploring new possibilities.
The text of the Image of H50 says:

...
Thus the superior person consolidates his fate
By making his position correct.

H50.2 The fact that the caldron is full, you could see as that everything is there, you have the necessary talents and/or knowledge to work in this industry. The fact that you don't get afflicted and the comrade does is because you have the ability to adapt (H56).
By the movement of this line, Wind turns into Mountain. Wind out of balance is about doubting, being indecisive, not being able to make a reality of ideas due to uncertainty.
Mountain advises making a choice, inner stability, standing up for yourself.
Wind is the invisible force that sets everything in motion, Mountain the solid result. Fire above makes inner processes visible in the outer world

The 'how' of your question is answered with "by removing doubt, you own everything it takes".
Once you realise that, the practical things like making contact etc will come naturally.

This would be my interpretation. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest

Great Hans_K that's a lot easier to work with than outside naysayers!! Although I still won't tell my friend until I'm in amongst it
