We had the good fortune of connecting with Deborah Graham and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Deborah, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In my case [as a psychic], it’s a gift from God. It’s something that you’re born with. And when you have a calling, whether being a psychic, a healer and an energy coach like I am, or being a writer or a teacher. Or even a singer or an opera singer, you have a gift. And all of us have a gift, and we all have a calling. And if you really connect with your true calling, anything and everything is a possibility. And that’s why people are successful in whatever they do because they’re actually connecting to their calling. And that’s how people become successful in their business.
Number one, you have to believe in yourself. You have to believe in the things or the product, whatever it may be. Whether you’re a doctor, whether you’re a teacher, whether you’re just an engineer. It’s about connecting to your purposes and becoming more aware. And most of all is about becoming conscious with your spirit. And that’s what makes for a great and successful business.
For me, it was easy because it was a gift. I’m also a third-generation psychic. It was my grandma, mother, and then myself. So, therefore, I became open abilities at age of six. So it was super easy because it was something I was born into. I started seeing visions. I started talking to spirits, I started feeling things. I would just begin the … In people’s conversations, I would know what was going to happen before it happened. The older I got, the deeper I went. And the deeper the callings became. And that’s how my psychic abilities began to grow because I never blocked them.
Many of us have the ability to do many things, and I never blocked my abilities. I allowed my abilities to be my gift and listen to my own intuition. And that’s what allowed me to be a healer, a psychic, and a matchmaker.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Continuity. I never ever stopped – and you have to succeed in business. You got to do the same repetition after repetition over again, consistently and again. And you have to make yourself seen and heard. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve done to make people know about you. You got to keep on, keeping on. You got to stay out with the public. Because that’s what the best case for any business is, word of mouth. I don’t care if you are on social media; you must have continuity. And your best case of clientele would be for a successful business is word of mouth. It’s still the best case that I would say has been my advocate for my business.
99% of my clients do come to me by word of mouth, whether they’ve heard me on the radio or on TV or whether someone’s recommended them. And whether someone’s been on an airplane and talking about a psychic, they mentioned my name. And they’re like, “Oh my God, I’ve heard of her. And I want to go see her.”
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I’m taking someone to Miami, the beach is the first place I will take them to. It’s much more important than restaurants. There’s nothing like Miami’s beach. It’s like being in the Caribbean – the sand, the water, and everything as a whole.
From there, I may take them to the newest, hottest restaurant, Sexy Fish. Everyone loves it!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
So many people! First, I would love to shout out the team at HCI Books for publishing both of my books, including ” Psychic Deborah Graham’s Guide to Attracting and Keeping Your True Love: A Must-Have for Women…and Men!”
I’d also like to shout out Jenny McCarthy for helping me get a show on Sirius XM for five years. I owe her the world.
I’d also like to offer Lynn Martinez at Deco Drive a big shout-out. I had a blast being on her show recently!
