Have you ever thought of using Oracle cards in your business?
 
I use them for all sorts of things now. I recently wrote a post about this over on the Coaching Tools Company blog, which you can read here. I share a story of how the universe thought it was funny to play a game with me, and kept giving me a topic I didn’t want to write about! I thought I’d share a few more tips and an example to get you playing with your writing. 
 
I use cards in my Queen of Business Mastermind each week. It’s a lovely way to start the meeting, it gives people a little shot of inspiration, and sometimes instigates some great conversations.
 
I worked with a friend of mine many years ago, and because she was a friend it was quite hard to get out of the ‘helping’ phase. You know, where you want to offer ‘friend advice’. I knew this wasn’t what she needed, so I whipped my phone out and pulled a few cards on an app, and used this as the basis for coaching. She had some fabulous breakthroughs.
 
Today I want to talk to you about using them to create content ideas. 
 
1. Set an intention of what you want to create
 
When I’m stuck with what to teach on a training call, or Facebook post, newsletter, or blog post, I simply get a card deck out and allow that to inspire me.
 
So how do you do it?
 
Sit with the cards in your hand, ask the universe to send you guidance on what you want to create Keep your dreamie client(s) in mind as you set your intention, that way you’ll get some clearer messages Shuffle the deck and pull three cards  
2. Go through the messages and pull out some keywords that pop out at you
 
As you flick through the cards you’ve pulled, you’ll want to notice which keywords/concepts pop out at you. Usually, your deck will have some extra wording that goes with the card. I don’t usually use everything that comes up. I just notice what resonates for me at the time.
 
I’ll share an example of this with you soon. 
 
3. Start writing
 
Write whatever comes up for you around the keywords that popped out.
 
Don’t filter, just allow yourself to free write. You might be surprised by how much actually comes up for you.
 
Let’s pretend right now that I need to write a blog post. Here’s how the process works in action:
 
Set Your Intention: I want to write a blog post about getting clients, but essentially the topic is around pricing
Note Your Dreamie Client’s Perspective: I want my client to feel confident around the services they offer
Pull Three Cards: You can just do one card, however, I find that three cards gives you juicier content (see footnote for cards I used):
 
So let’s say I want to write a post about my Queenies (as I call them) getting clients, specifically around her pricing. My Queen doesn’t want to come across as needy, she’s just lacking confidence when she invites someone to buy from her.
 
Let’s find out what cards come up (and no, these aren’t ones I’ve prepared earlier. I’m acting as if I’m really writing this as a blog post!)
