Hello and a warm welcome to Michi's Esoteric Shop. I am especially pleased to welcome you here. My name is Michael Friedrich Leopold Kachtik, I am 33 years young, and with my small esoteric shop, I have fulfilled my dream of self-employment. This was not an easy step because before it even came to this, I tried many things, but nothing really worked out. But as a famous saying goes, "Only those who give up have lost." This started back in school; in the 2nd grade of elementary school, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. You can imagine how I did in school—not particularly well—but I made it through and started my apprenticeship as a retail salesman with full enthusiasm. I completed my 3-year apprenticeship in the wood department of a very well-known hardware store. At first, they thought I needed special treatment with reduced material, but I showed them that this was not necessary because year after year my drive to get better grew. Despite my learning difficulties, I managed to complete my apprenticeship successfully in 2009.

 

After my apprenticeship, I stayed another 6 years at my training company with a small break. In 2014, I decided to continue growing and tried out various professions. But one thing I always had in mind was the goal to one day start my own company, and I fulfilled this dream with Michi's Esoteric Shop. But why esoterics? That is because I have been in contact with esoterics and human energetics since my early childhood, and it has done me good to this day and surely will continue to do so. And let's be honest, we all know that certain sounds or scents can calm us.

 

Now you are probably asking yourself, Michael, why are you writing all this and telling us about your learning difficulties? Normally, no one cares about that. And yes, in a way, you are right, but I want to make a difference with these words. This is meant to show that you don't have to be a top student or have studied somewhere to achieve something. No, anyone can achieve it. The only thing needed here is you because everyone is good just the way they are. Everyone has their quirks and edges; you just have to know how to use them properly.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my words, and I hope I was able to give you at least a small insight into myself. With that in mind, I wish you a wonderful time and lots of strength and energy for your further life journey.
