This article explains why a Feng Shui consultation is a smart investment when it comes to business.
There are several business-centric reasons on getting a Feng Shui consultation or audit.
Reason #1: Know Your Company
The most compelling basis for a Feng Shui audit of one's business is really to understand what is going on in the organization or business. A Feng Shui audit of a business or organization is one of the best ways to figure out what is working and not working within your organization and to work out the where the obstacles and challenges are in the business. Are the problems operational? Do they relate to delivery and fulfillment? Is it consumer driven? Are there staff problems? Is there a problem with the perception of the company's product or service? Are the business processes in need of fixing? Or does everything stem from a poor corporate culture? Feng Shui can actually help you determine what is holding back the organization.
Reason #2: Understand Your Limitations
Some businesses are limited because of their inherent business model. Some businesses are limited by their capital. Some businesses are limited because of their market or target consumer. Some businesses are limited by their capacity. But some businesses, despite having tremendous potential for growth or profitability, are limited despite having it all.
They are limited by their environment. By this, I mean, the Qi in the area where the business or organization has its office or place of business. The building you are located in and the area that your office is located may be holding your business back from going to the next level.
By understanding the limitations of your business location, you are able to take practical steps towards removing the limitations on your business, or at least, working around them till you can move to a better location.
Reason #3: For Risk Management and Business Planning
The problem with conventional risk management and business planning is that it is done based on assumptions, or premised upon information submitted by a group of individuals or a person. And people can be wrong, make mistakes or bark up the wrong tree. A Feng Shui audit is a great supplement to these mission-critical practices because it relies on what could be said to be an objective source of information, namely, Qi cycles.
Auspicious and positive Qi, along with the negative afflictions such as the Five Yellow star and Three Killings impact on different aspects of a business, depending on which sector within the office or building they fall within in a given year.
In business terms, the profits and growth areas of a business, as well as the problems and obstacles, vary from year to year. And this is determined by looking at what stars impact which aspects of the business. For example, the Five Yellow Star amongst other things is indicative of legal problems.
The general tendency for many small and medium businesses is to pay very little attention to legal compliance or legal requirements unless necessary, which often means that this is left out of risk management or business planning considerations.
But imagine if a business owner or organization knew that they were at risk of increased litigation or legal issues in the coming year, due to the arrival of the Five Yellow star at the Main Door of the office building. Immediately, this organisation's risk management and business planning practices would be better informed and this, more in tune with the demands of the business going forward.
The business case for utilising what I call the "Qi Advantage" for your business or organization extends into many areas, including succession planning, human resource management and business planning.
Feng Shui and its accompanying disciplines do help businesses and organizations gain real strategic advantages and achieve growth and improvement in the process. So, why not take this advantage of this?
