Hello and welcome to Michi's esoteric shop. I'm particularly pleased to welcome you here. My name is Michael Friedrich Leopold Kachtik. I'm 33 years old and I've fulfilled my dream of being self-employed with my little esoteric shop. This wasn't an easy step; I tried lots of things before I got that far, but nothing really worked out. But as the famous saying goes, "the only ones who lose are those who give up." This started at school. In the second year of primary school, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, so you can imagine how I did at school. It wasn't that great, but I managed it and started my apprenticeship as a retail salesperson with great enthusiasm. Here I completed my 3 year apprenticeship in the wood department of a very well-known hardware store. At first you thought I needed special treatment with reduced material, but I showed you that this wasn't necessary. From year to year my urge to get better grew. Despite my learning difficulties, I managed to complete my apprenticeship with good success in 2009.

After my apprenticeship, I stayed with my training company for another six years, with a short break. In 2014, I decided to continue developing and tried out a variety of different careers. But I always had one thing in mind: the goal of founding my own company, and I made this dream come true with Michi's Esoteric Shop. But why esotericism in particular? It's because I've been in contact with esotericism and human energetics since early childhood, and it's done me good to this day, and it will certainly continue to do so. And let's be honest: we all know that certain sounds or scents can calm us.

Now you're probably asking yourselves, Michael, why are you writing all this and telling us that it's normally nobody's business with your learning difficulties. And yes, in a way you're right, but I want to make a difference with these words. This is to show that you don't have to be a master student or have studied somewhere else to achieve something. No, everyone can achieve it, the only thing that is needed here is you, because everyone is good the way they are, everyone has their rough edges, you just have to know how to use them correctly.

Thank you for taking the time to read my lines, and I hope I was able to give you a glimpse into myself, even if just a little. With that in mind, I wish you a wonderful time and lots of strength and energy for the rest of your life.
