I  Changed My Mindset About Business

By Marilyn L. Redmond

My life has been a road of finding a new philosophy that works for me. Being in a marriage where my husband left teaching to start a business, I was there to help and learn the world of business, too. His goal was to become a millionaire like his best friend from grade school. His pal growing up inherited his fortune. However, my husband wanted to feel as good as his friend who was well off financially.

I became the bookkeeper, front desk receptionist, plate maker, and other jobs in out printing shop. I enjoyed preparing the printing for the press, learning about accounting, and helping the customers. I worked every hour when I was not teaching school or home with the children and household responsibilities, to keep the expenses down. This was a great school for me to learn about the world of business.

Because, I received an inheritance, my husband purchased property to build our own building. The places we rented did not have the proper temperature control for printing certain types of paper requiring lower heat, especially during hot summer months. The building had space for additional rental areas. The idea of expanding the rental part of our business became a reality when he bought the lot adjacent to our original building for another building to lease.

My husband's goal was to own the whole block as his friend owned a whole block in a nearby town. It was a real lesson in the procedure to build a building and meeting city codes. The frustration was great, as the town did not support small business and its growth. He charged through all the difficult challenges resulting in our now having two buildings providing more rents in addition to the printing income.

Life changed, when I had to divorce him for my personal protection. The domestic violence was growing worse and I finally had to remove myself from a mini business empire he was building. Through this separation, I found a new mind set for my future life on my own.

Beneficially, I received the new building in the divorce settlement. However, I wanted to start a business as a counselor, regressionist, medium, author, and artist. My interest was in helping others and bringing wisdom to unanswered issues in life. I found myself in knowledge that most people did not understand, because I had healed many medical and relationship problems without medications.

I created a name to cover my many talents as an umbrella for my work. One of my angels is Angelica and I named my cat after Angelica. My friend suggested I use that as the name for my business. Angelica's Gift's describes my spiritual gifts that help my assisting others to find resolutions to their medical, emotional, and personal problems.

 My motivation was not to become a millionaire as my husband was driven.  My purpose became supporting others to find a life path of reality and love leading to inner peace, without medications and typical medical answers. My mission was to bring truth for people to resolve life challenges in loving solutions. This included volunteering to help those that could not afford healing from traditional agencies and helping those looking for alternative answers for their health issues.

My office was in my home and additional room became my therapy room where I met with my clients. Then the opportunity to produce and have two radio shows appeared at different times, which helped spread the word of new answers for an improved life. Speaking at metaphysical groups and teaching in colleges brought more income and clients.

I made enough to cover the business expenses, but not a large profit. It felt like God was paying me to learn what I needed to share with others. My rents from the second building and investments were paying the bills for my traveling around the world to spiritual sights for healing my health, mental, and relationship problems. These became the basis of all my work, writing, counseling, and teaching. I learned about healing energies from my experiences.

One day, I was traveling in my car up the freeway to Seattle, WA, to a day program where I had been asked to share this information. You are a success.  This brought the realization that life for me was not about how much money I made, but in sharing my knowledge and understanding about the universal energy in our lives can heal our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. When I am doing the work of my Creator, my expenses are paid.    

Understanding that success was helping others without looking for payment to make ends meet was not the answer to success. Life was comfortable and I felt contented without a huge bank account. I am financially secure and happy in my life. My inner life is a success and it is not about how others judge from their agendas.

 I received notice that my books are being distributed internationally to prisons in addition to the United States prison program of the Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment organization. The thrill of this was wonderful. I am helping beyond my country for others to find a better path in life.

A week ago, I received a phone call that I had been nominated for the prestigious book, "Who's Who in America" which identifies outstanding people. This organization, has acknowledged that I am contributing to the good of our world. My work has been accredited in America and worldwide. To me these recognitions are more important than the dollars in the bank. I have contributed to humanity.
