BTP21: How to Succeed as a Young Tarot Reader with Fiona Benjamin
When I first started to read Tarot, I was just a fresh-faced 18 year old. By my early 20s, I was ready to start reading for other people but there was just one problem. I didn't look like most other Tarot readers, who were at least 20 years older than me!
I had to figure out how I could still maintain credibility with my clients despite my age.
Well, it turns out I'm not alone. My guest today, Fiona Benjamin, learned to read Tarot at 12 and started reading professionally at just 21. She hasn't let age get in the way and has since created a successful online Tarot business – the Modern Fortune Teller - serving clients from around the world.
In this podcast episode, you'll learn:
How a strange and unique gift from Fiona's mum spurred an avid interest in Tarot
How to steer clear of getting addicted to your Tarot deck
Why just being yourself is essential for any Tarot reader, at any age
3 success tips for young Tarot readers who are just starting out
Why it's critical not to let social media and public opinion get into your head
Let's get into it! (And please excuse my croaky voice throughout the interview!)
