Venture: Tarot Deck Creation
The Idea
1. This makes your idea unique. Lovers
There's a dualistic nature I'd like to add to each card in my proposed deck that I've never seen before.
2. This is your target audience. The Sun
Anyone looking for clarity on matters.
3. This is the best way to pitch your idea to get others on board. 3 of Swords
"This deck will give it to you straight -- no chaser! It will get to the heart of the matter while removing confusion and befuddlement during the interpretation process."
4. This is your idea's strength. 10 of Cups
It's creative. And it's possible you can get a whole community on board in anticipation for this deck.
5. This is your idea's weakness. Ace of Pentacles.
Ace of Pentacles – it’s just a seed for now and without nourishment and care, it won’t grow into the business I've been visualizing in my head.
Your Resources
6. These are the resources you need to make this idea happen. Hierophant
I need to educate myself through whatever outlets I can find – forums, YouTube tutorials and more -- in order to get started on this project.
7. How you can acquire the aforementioned resource. Page of Cups
Be a student who is open and receptive to new knowledge.
8. The resources you already have that can push your idea into reality. 2 of Cups
My friends and connections could help me tremendously.
9. The skills you need to acquire/learn before pursuing this idea. 9 of Pentacles Rx
This card is warning me to be careful in making financially foolish mistakes for this project. I need to be more adept in financial matters.
Money Talks
10. Action to take to acquire capital. 9 of Cups
Just look around. You have everything you need.
11. What it will take to break even and make a profit. 4 of Pentacles Rx
This is saying, “Be willing to invest a lot of your money in order to get a decent return.”
12. If well-executed, how well can this business support you`financially? Strength Rx
With Strength being reversed, it’s saying that I don’t have a good grasp on tarot deck creation just yet and I may allow it to grow into a monster that I cannot handle. This, in turn, puts a damper on any financial rewards I can get from this venture.
Issues & Solutions
13. This obstacles may impede you from success. Chariot Rx
Confusion on how to go about attaining success as the charioteer of this project could be a problem. You need to have a clear, linear path to know how to get your idea from A (the mind) to B (tangible reality) -- and when the Chariot is reversed, the chauffeur needs a GPS!
14. This will help me overcome the aforementioned obstacle. 6 of Swords
I can’t do this alone. I need guidance – someone who has been to point B before and can show me the way.
15. The next action I should take to materialize this business idea into reality. Knight of Pentacles.
The Knight of Pentacles is asking me not to rush anything. This isn’t a race. I need to be methodical, detail oriented and diligent to set this off the ground. Double-check everything, read extensively and fully dedicate myself into the craft of tarot deck creation.
Hope this helps someone!
