Moving Forward After a Failed Reiki Business

Christian | Standing Stones Healing Co.

My Reiki business is failing and I'm shutting it down. This was my dream and I'm heart broken. How can I move forward from this?

Thank you for this, which can't be easy to discuss. The most important thing is to not view yourself as a failure. We all experience failures in our Reiki business, even in a successful Reiki business. And when we decide to close the business, it can be easy for us to view ourselves as a failure. But we're not. I talk about this in an episode of the Build Your Reiki Business podcast, but stretching, growing, putting ourselves out there, trying new things is never a failure. It is never a failure to push ourselves, grow, try new things, and to start a business. The fact is that you started a business, and that is never a failure. You can listen to the specific episode on failure here.

I also want to encourage you that Reiki is always there. Sometimes when we try something like starting a business and we decide to close it, we forget that we can always start it or another one again. Reiki isn't going anywhere. All of the things you learned and ways you grew from the first experience are still with you. You can always choose to start again.

Please feel free to reach out if you want to chat about it. I offer free 1-on-1 30 minute chats on Reiki business topics. I'm happy to listen to your Reiki business experience. You're also welcome to join us in Reiki Business Collective, where there's a lot of support and encouragement, too. Sending blessings!
