What not to do?
In terms of what not to do, it would advise you not to try to force your opinion on others, no matter how great they are or how right you are. Sometimes, the ones that are asking for your support are not going to take it, and not only that, but they may be closed-minded people that just can’t understand where you are coming from. Not everyone has your mindset and values, so you need to know where to step away from such relations.
Reverse Position (Love and Relationships)
A reversed King of Wand would indicate that your person has significant commitment issues. They may be flaky, breaking promises, or even abusive. They force their dominance on you. They may belittle you and become a burden for you. It is not the relationship that could survive unless you accept their authority, and you do whatever they want you to.

Regarding finances, they seem pretty good and growing with a steady rhythm. You are in control of your finances, and you are good at managing it. It may also indicate a new idea or innovation in some cases.
What not to do?

Instead, see what they can do by themselves. This way, you can evaluate your team’s capacities, abilities, and what they’re good at. It will also help them grow and earn experience. You can check later and make adjustments where needed.
Reverse Position (Business and Finance)
It indicates that you are failing to commit to whatever your work line is, failing to put dedication in and failing to make decisions. You are almost waiting for benefits to fall into your lap without even lifting your finger. You act entitled, and you are not.
