We recently connected with Novalee Wilder and have shared our conversation below.

Novalee , appreciate you joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

Before starting my business as a Professional Numerologist, mentor and writer I didn’t realize how much my words – both written and spoken – would impact my career and income trajectory.

I have studied acting and numerology in depth. Through group classes and 1:1 sessions with amazing teachers and legends in the respective fields. But my writing came just from me, I’ve never taken a writing class and while my mom always thought that I should become a writer I didn’t really feel that call. It still feels like something that is just a natural extension of my other work and not a separate skill.

Growing up I probably read more than the average kid. I could read before I entered school and started flipping the pages when my parents would read bedtime stories to me as my reading sped up. I was lucky to have good teachers who recognized and encouraged me when we had to turn in essays or other creative writing projects.

Like most people who start a new business, I had more time than clients in the beginning and so I set myself the goal of writing a value-filled blog post about numerology a week for a year. This was an amazing way of making the information in my mind more concrete, organizing my thoughts, and clarifying exactly how I saw the numbers, name changes, angel numbers, etc.

After the first year, I added writer to my title and I think that helped my future editor find me a invite me to write my first traditionally published book about Numerology.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

As a Professional Numerologist, I help people change their names, and name their children, business, products, and pets. I work with Numerology to pick titles and prices for any creative projects and offerings.

Numerology works with the vibration behind everything as our names can support or hinder our expression and experience of life.

I’ve studied Chaldean Numerology with master teachers and am now teaching others who want to work with the sacred esoteric science of numbers and letters through The Numerology School.

I’m most proud of the clients who have really taken a leap of faith through a name change with me and seen it pay off in ever-increasing ways. I often get emails from past clients who have gone through a name change years ago and who are continually experiencing more ease, peace, prosperity, and expansion in their life. This spreads through their families, work, and their impact on the world. I feel very privileged to do this work.

When I decided to start my own numerology school and teach others to become Professional Numerologists one of my old teachers told me I wasn’t allowed to do so and that she find a way to stop me. I saw that her fear of growing too big meant that she needed to keep others small. I decided to open my school anyway, to teach everyone who wanted to learn and to make sure that I encouraged the light in my students to burn as brightly as possible. When one person expands and wins we all expand and win. Teaching others means that I get to go through the system of numbers anew and makes me work on becoming more precise and inclusive in my understanding with every class.

When I set out to learn about numerology I did it because I just had to know how it worked. This was after my own name change and subsequent major life shifts. So many things had moved both internally in my understanding of myself and externally in how people treated me and my opportunities (hello to winning the greencard lottery and getting to live and work in the US with the love of my life!) I wanted to understand the mechanics and later when I found out that the numbers spoke to me (and through me) I realized that I had to follow this rabbit hole all the way to the end. I love what I do, and here’s why:

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

As I was growing up I had a lot of respect and automatic reverence for authority figures. I did as I was told and I followed the rules. Even when I was part of artistically-out-there or marginalized groups I still didn’t question the leaders/teachers/instructors etc. or the idea that they could see me clearly and knew what was best for me.

As I have grown and experienced teachers repeatedly fail spectacularly in their duty as space holders or as spiritual leaders I have become way more grounded in my own truth and world view. When I teach I want to be transparent, not gatekeep, not spiritually bypass or pick favorites with students. I take the role of teacher and guide very seriously and the people who have failed me have helped enforced this foundation for how I show up and deliver the wisdom of numerology.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

You have to show up! Yet you can pick the easiest way for you to show up and it will still work. In the beginning, my words and message came through writing. I just wrote and wrote and wrote, put it on my socials, started a blog, then started a newsletter. Got my words out there, done is better than perfect. If it’s not out there no one can read it, share it, or buy it. So it has to be out there.

Then I tried out being a podcast guest and that opened up a whole new world. Again I had to show up and answer questions, explain the basics and navigate great and not-so-great hosts. Figure out how to share the episodes and then go from pitching myself to being invited on. This led me to start recording my own episodes of The Numerology Podcast and figure out how to edit and share those episodes. Now people most often people invite me on and that is a great gift.

As I have established myself as a voice in the field of numerology I’ve received inquiries for articles and features about everything connected to it. These articles and quotes take on their own life through syndication which helps with backlinks and SEO for my website.

So I would say pick the easiest way to share and then do so consistenly and with joy!
