Become a Master Feng Shui Consultant This Year

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:28:47 +0000

Are you ready to learn how to become a feng shui consultant making $250 an hour…or more?

I’m ready to teach you everything I learned when I made feng shui into my career — and what I’ve learned about creating a profitable, thriving feng shui business.

You’ve probably thought about it a long time. Isn’t it time you took that step and began working as a feng shui consultant?

If you’re ready, I’d like to personally teach you feng shui.

I’ve been asked about this for years now. Feng shui is often very confusing and my readers have asked me to teach a course in feng shui, because of the way I can take feng shui’s difficult and esoteric ideas and make them easy to understand and learn.

This course is perfect for anyone who is seriously interested in gaining a good working knowledge of feng shui, either to enhance their own homes or to use as a foundational experience and knowledge in feng shui — or use it like I did for your own launch pad for a career in feng shui.

Now you can learn feng shui for fun or profit.

This Feng Shui Master Consultant Class provides:
1. A carefully designed, high-quality privately-taught feng shui experience
2. Increased focus and clarity of feng shui via this one-on-one intensive course
3. An intense yet supportive classroom experience
4. Total immersion in feng shui ideas, concepts, and foundation
5. Certification as a Master Feng Shui Consultant

The Red Lotus Master Consultant Course will be held November 10-14, 2010 in exciting Austin, Texas at a luxury hotel property where you will enjoy beautiful surroundings in the class and in your room that is convenient to the airport.

The Red Lotus Master Consultant Course can help you move ahead in your life as a Master Consultant and give you the confidence to practice feng shui competently and be paid like the professional you are.

This is not a feng shui class that rehashes 5 Element Theory.

It is a class on what a Master Feng Shui Consultant needs to know — like how to write a report, how to present yourself to clients that gives them (and you) confidence in your work, what to charge and how to get paid. And, I’ll give you tools and tips to help you make complicated feng shui easier and faster to practice.

Are you working as a consultant already and barely making ends meet?

If you’re tired of working yourself to the bone and not making anything for it, I’ll show you how to be a consultant who works with integrity and eats, too! You’ll get real-world, down to earth, and, yes, frank and candid, talk about what being a consultant is all about.

I’ll share with you how I started my own business , what I did in the beginning, and how my little feng shui Ezine began with only 22 subscribers (mostly family and friends!). But now, my business is growing and I want to help you help others as a feng shui consultant — and have a life too.

Feng Shui First Aid for Your Career

Kathryn Weber — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:48:30 +0000

It makes sense due to the amount of time we spend at our jobs. It also is understandable because to have a successful career enables us to make better decisions for ourselves and our families.

By this, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you simply make more money, because money doesn’t solve all the ills of career problems. Of course, it doesn’t hurt. However, there are plenty of people out there making good salaries but unhappy with their respective careers.

When you energize areas that you would like to improve, it’s possible to open up a range of possibilities. For instance, by energizing your career sector, your job may suddenly become better, or something new and better will be coming to you that you hadn’t expected at all, such as a business opportunity.

But this is the price of making changes — you get more changes in your life, and therefore, more choices! And, that’s what you usually want in your life: more opportunities and choices to create greater happiness for yourself and your family.

There are two critical areas to enhance if you want to improve your career: your house and your office. Below are ideas for both. However, these are not ALL the possible suggestions; only some of the most basic ones.

STEP ONE: Your Home

6 Key Steps

1. Look north. Make sure the north sector of your home is in good order. If your north sector is missing or if there is a toilet here, activate the north sector of your living room and office.

2. If your bedroom is in the north: This can be enhanced by decorating with blue or black, a picture of water (not overly large, however), and metal (preferably gold-colored) objects.

3. A north-facing home: Make the entrance to your home as attractive as possible to invite new opportunities. Make it neat and easy to come into by removing obstacles, blockages, dying plants, worn out welcome mats, etc.

By the way, DON’T buy welcome mats with your name on it you’ll be walking on your good name! Place an image of a turtle or fish here. Be sure to block any views that go straight through from the front of the house to the back or you’ll be missing opportunities (and losing money!).

4. Look south. Display peacock feathers in the south portion of the home and keep this area well-lit. The south represents recognition. A grouping of nine candles would
be excellent here as well. Consider painting the south room in your house red, orange, or a shade of red.

5. Welcome career opportunities. Keep a light in the entrance to your home turned on. A chandelier with crystal prisms that cast the different colors about the entryway is especially good.

Or, hang a crystal below your light to cast colored prisms about the foyer. These are especially helpful if your stairs face or end close to the front door; good opportunities go right on out the door!

6. Add water to the front of your home. Consider putting in a water fountain (on the left side of the door as you look out of the house) inside the house or outside. (A water feature on the right side of the house invites cheating in the marriage.) If you put in a water feature outside your home, make sure the water appears to be flowing toward the house. This is one of the best ways to bring opportunities to your door.

Step Two: Your Office

8 Key Elements

1. Sit in a power position by facing (but not in direct line with) the door. Don’t sit with your back to the door ever. If your furnishings in your office or cubicle are built in, then turn your computer so that you can see someone coming from either your left or right side.

2. Tap your pa kua number. Face your personal best directions if at all possible, but never ignoring #1 above. Use as many of your personal best directions as possible!

3. Stop gossip. If gossip is a problem in your career, get a statue of a rooster and place it on your desk to look at anyone coming into the office. This will help curb some of the talk in the office.

4. Get support. This is extremely important for a good career and why you should have something solid behind you. If you have a window at your back, you will suffer
from lack of support. Turn so that there is a wall behind you.

Also, make certain that there is not a bookshelf or open cabinets at your back. Place these where they are not in direct line with you or your desk. This also means making sure you don’t have any bookshelves shelves facing you. Move these if you do. Also be certain you don’t have a hallway, stairs, or other entry that is exactly opposite
your desk.

5. Enhance your wealth corner. Place a plant in the SE corner of your office. Get rid of spindly, weak plants. Better to have a pretty silk plant than a real plant that is dying.

6. Be recognized. Trouble getting noticed? Place a lamp in the S corner of your office for more recognition. Also, place red objects, stones, or crystals in this location. The larger the stone, the better. definitely go for heft and girth!

7. Activate your career sector. Place a tortoise in the north corner of your office to symbolize water and support. Or, place a big picture of water here. If you want to go all out, place an aquarium here with eight gold fish and one black gold fish.

8. Get help. It’s the “who you know principle” that you want to engage. So, make sure the NW corner is activated. You want mentors or people to help you, right?

If so, place a rock or geode here, or place metal objects in this location. Stereos and electronics are also good placed in the NW to bring helpful people and mentors to you. Gold, silver, or white objects are good when placed here. Try hanging a 6-rod windchime with hollow rods in this sector.

Creating a Feng Shui Power Office – 6 Easy Steps to Successful Surroundings

Kathryn Weber — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:34:13 +0000

More and more people are looking to gain an edge in their working environments. One method that businesspeople are increasingly turning to is feng shui. Feng shui promises that by arranging your office environment correctly, it is possible to create a better career for yourself, and that it can, in turn, promote further opportunity and advancement.

In feng shui, there are a few very basic, yet potent, guidelines to creating an effective office environment – and that can instantly boost the career quotient of almost any office inhabitant. Although, some offices may require more extensive rearrangement to help promote success, most offices only require a few modest changes. Use these suggestions to help you create your own “Power Office.”

1. Sit in the power position.
This is situated opposite and diagonal from the door or opening to the room. The desk should be here facing the door. Draw more emphasis to this area by creating a focal point with a lamp, artwork, tall plant, etc.

This also helps create a straight line of sight to this area, imbuing even more power and authority. What’s more, this corner is also considered the lucky corner of any room – so you definitely want your desk there!

If possible, try to use personal feng shui by tapping your personal auspicious directions.

2. Sit behind a power desk.
A power desk is one that is substantially-sized and correctly placed. A power desk is never an L-shaped desk (the shape of which is like a cleaver or hatchet, and is thought to cut the person sitting at the desk). It also has specific dimensions.

Here are dimensions for an auspicious desk (in inches):
75Lx43WX33H or 66-70Lx24-27Wx32-33H
Small desks are deemed inauspicious and thwart future growth.

3. Sit in a power chair.
A good chair is one with a high back and arm rests (solid, if possible). Although the chairs that are designed for the back are very popular right now, their open weave does not provide good symbolic support for the person occupying them.

4. Put power behind you.
Power includes symbols of mountains, banking or business photographs, and your boss. Be sure that your desk does not face your boss’ desk, but rather, he or she is behind you — even if he or she is on the other side of the building. This also means you should never sit with a window (no support; unless it is a window with a view to a very prominent business or bank), door (no advancement), or bookshelves (backstabbing) behind you.

5. Get power in front of you.
Keep the path in front of your desk open and clear. If there are obstructions, such as chairs, etc., the path to a rise in your career will also be obstructed.

6. Activate your desk dragon.
Put fresh flowers in the left-hand corner of your desk (as you are sitting at it). Or, place a plant in this corner. This is the ‘dragon side’ of your desk and it benefits tremendously from the special energy of plants and flowers. Never, ever put bonsai plants in your office, or your career will be stunted and short-lived. Nor should you decorate with cactus, or your career will be riddled with problems and difficult working relationships.

Feng Shui Your Computer — How Clearing Old Files Can Make You

Kathryn Weber — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 00:15:40 +0000

Computers are a wonderful tool for helping us communicate with friends around the
world, produce presentations and documents, balance our checkbooks and, in short, run our businesses and our lives.

There is no doubt that we are completely dependent upon computers today and few homes are without a personal computer. Few of us are able to work when our computers stop working because of bugs, viruses or a log-jam of files.

To make yourself more efficient at work and in your business, you should take steps to ensure that your computer is a lean, mean, computing machine.

When your computer isn’t in top form, you don’t think well, your mood is colored with frustration (and anger, sometimes!) and you don’t work as well when you feel this way. Most importantly it takes you out of what I call “receive mode” — that’s the where energy flows to you bringing you opportunities, income, prestige and advancement.

These steps will help you clear the decks and keep your computer in top form – all while making you more efficient, able to think more clearly, and opening you up to more opportunities — and keeping you in receive mode!

1. Clean files for clear thinking.
When our computers are a mess, it’s hard for us to be efficient or to think clearly. That’s because when files are hard to find, we get frustrated and annoyed and this clouds our interactions and our daily mood. Organization equals efficiency – and the ability to think clearly. Clear out old, rarely used files and programs.

2. Cords create havoc.
Whenever we see clutter and mess, it brings our energy level down. One of the most unattractive aspects of computers are all the cords. Corral cords with zip-ties and Velcro wrappers. Pull stray cords to one side and anchor them to a small cup hook so that you don’t accidentally pull them with your feet. Otherwise, you might constantly find yourself in “a tangle” with people and situations, too.

3. Create a beautiful view.
Because I like to focus on what I want, I place a beautiful waterfall image on my screensaver. Of course, water is wealth in feng shui! Use beautiful views of fish, waterfalls, fields, or streams to create a window where there is none. The screen of your computer should inspire you when you see it and give you a view you love.

4. Protection first.
In feng shui, the first priority should always be protective feng shui. This is especially true of your computer. When you work on the Internet, it’s important that you use some kind of protection like Norton, McAfee or other form of firewall to protect you from people who might try to take your sensitive information. This also will help maintain your computer’s speed – and that helps you to be more efficient too.

5. Old, outdated files hold you back.
Do you have old projects or old files that you still need but not every day? Get an external hard drive. Think of these as a “mini-storage room” for your computer. You can get a huge external hard drive that allows you to dump huge files (like photos and music) on there and get the old files that you rarely use OFF your machine. When your machine moves fast, so do you. Plus, by clearing out the old stuff, such as old client and business files, you create room for NEW clients and business to come to you.

6. Clean screens help you see clearly.
When your screen is full of dirty, greasy fingerprints, you can’t think clearly or “see” what you need to do at work. Make it a point to AVOID touching your computer screen and regularly clean it off.

Be a Feng Shui Consultant-10 Most Frequently Asked Questions

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:11:30 +0000

Many of my readers and even clients ask about working as a feng shui consultant. It’s a career that doesn’t have much written about it — especially from an insider’s view. And many people think it’s a New Age-y kind of career, but it’s much more than just good feelings! Feng shui is about black and white principles of placement, not just esoteric thoughts and holding the right kind of intentions.

We don’t make the environment, but we can make it suit us and we can learn how to adapt and cultivate our environments — much like a garden.

As a feng shui consultant, you can show you clients how to create home and office environments for better health, improved business, greater opportunities, and yes, more prosperity.

Here’s a basic outline of some of the most commonly asked questions.

1. Do I need to speak Chinese or know Chinese culture?
No, you don’t, but it’s a help if you have an understanding of the culture because of its influence on feng shui. You can pick up information about the culture by reading, traveling or even speaking with Chinese friends or neighbors. Visiting museums and Chinese cultural exhibits is another way. If you can travel to China or Asia where feng shui is often practiced – such as Singapore or Kuala Lumpur – you can learn a lot about Chinese customs and feng shui, too.

2. Do I have to be a new-age kind of person?
Many people have an idea that feng shui is very woo-woo or airy fairy and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Feng shui is basically thousands of years of plain old common sense. As a practicing consultant, I’m always amazed at how often clients tell me my recommendations are common sense and I’ll often remind them of what Mark Twain said, “Common sense isn’t so common.” Actually, the more down to earth and pragmatic you are, the better. But feng shui is big enough for people who enjoy the mystical as well as those who (like me) or more practical-minded.

3. Is there a demand for feng shui consultants?
Yes! In certain areas of the country and the world, there is great demand. California, the East Coast, and Hawaii probably have the highest demand, but consultants are also sought after in Las Vegas, large metropolitan areas such as Miami, Houston, and Denver. Even in the very remote area where I live, I am often amazed at the people who find me and want feng shui consultation. My largest and longest client resulted in a phone call from a hospital and school construction firm based in Corpus Christi, Texas!

4. What personal qualities make a good feng shui consultant?
You must be a person who cares about your clients and who puts their needs and concerns first. Having good communication skills is also a plus because you will need to deliver both positive and negative information.

Another highly prized skill is the ability to provide options to your clients and give them choices. Perhaps the best skill? Being a good listener. Your clients will want to share their very personal details of their lives and they need to know you can hear them and that their details are confidential and that they a talking to someone who cares about helping them.

5. How much money can I make as a feng shui consultant?
Some of this depends on where you live, but as a going rate, I would say you can safely charge about $250 an hour for an in-person consultation or about $500 for a two-hour consultation. If you just have two clients per week that adds up to $4000 per month.

Plus, you get the tax advantages of being in business, allowing you to write off mileage and any costs incurred getting to and from your appointments. You can also charge by the square foot of the space if you are involved in a large commercial project, for example. A fee of fifty cents per square foot would net you $2,000 on a 4,000 square foot office building assessment.

6. Are there other ways I can make money in feng shui?
Oh, yes. You can take your business online and work as an online consultant doing telephone consultations. You can also begin an import-export business and sell feng shui products. Lillian Too has franchises for her World of Feng Shui shops. You could become a shop owner if you like.

You can also work with builders, architects, designers and decorators, and professional organizers. Some feng shui consultants go on to become authors, teachers and bloggers! I’ve taken my remote location and turned my feng shui consulting practice into a lucrative business that pays me over six figures – and allows me to work in pajamas if I want to.

7. Do I need training to work as a feng shui consultant?
It isn’t necessary, but if you want to be taken seriously and be able to command higher prices for your services, you should. Training is also important for you because you will have the confidence to speak knowledgeably and have no problem asking for your fees because you can say you are trained and certified – and a lot of consultants out there can’t say that. And, if you’re serious about being in this business, you should be trained and certified.

8. How do I find clients?
You have to decide who you most want to work with and how your business model will be set up. If you’re a consultant, it pays to network and to have your services listed with feng shui directories and other professional sites. If you want to work with the more esoteric side of feng shui, such as Black Hat Sect, you may want to contact local New Age bookstores or advertise in New Age publications.

If you are a classical Chinese feng shui consultant, you may want to advertise in home and business publications, contact local real estate, architecture and design professionals and advertise in their trade publications. Word of mouth is another invaluable way to begin your career. Trust me: once you have a few successful clients, they’ll start looking for you!

9. What kind of work do most consultants do for clients?
When you do feng shui consultation work for clients you may be asked to advise them on color selection, site placement if they are wanting to start construction, give an opinion on whether or not to buy a certain house, help them to correct problems in their lives, such as marital problems, health concerns, or even help with landscaping or where to place a swimming pool.

Some clients have very simple needs and may not know what they want, they just know they want their home or office “feng shui-d.” In this case, you tell them what they need to know about the space – such as harsh illness energy, or great wealth potential (they love that!). It’s important that you remain balanced and give them both sides and offer ways to handle negatives and boost positives.

10. What’s the best part about being a feng shui consultant?
There are many wonderful things about being a consultant, but it comes down to two main things – helping people and having freedom. When it comes to helping people, working as a consultant gives you the ability to help someone correct a problem with their home or business that results in more abundance and prosperity to helping their children have more friends at school and everything in between. Sometimes you help save a marriage; other times, it’s salvaging a business.

It’s obvious that helping people is its own reward. But as a career, working as a consultant gives me the flexibility and options few other careers have. My business has allowed me to live the way that I want instead of the way I have to if I had a regular job. In other words, feng shui has given me a freedom in my life to work the way I like and earn a handsome living. But it’s freedom combined with an income that I set and is limited by how much I want or don’t want to work — and I’m helping people. What could be better than that?

Boost Your Career With Powerful Feng Shui

Kathryn Weber — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:37:28 +0000

Enhancing careers with feng shui is a popular subject in feng shui. Second to generating wealth, energizing the career sector ranks high in interest among those interested in using feng shui to better their lives.It makes sense due to the amount of time we spend at our jobs. It also is understandable because to have a successful career enables us to make better decisions for ourselves and our families.

STEP ONE: Your Home

6 Key Steps

1. Look north. Make sure the north sector of your home is in good order. If your north sector is missing or if there is a toilet here, activate the north sector of your living room and office.

2. If your bedroom is in the north: This can be enhanced by decorating with blue or black, a picture of water (not overly large, however), and metal (preferably gold-colored) objects.

3. A north-facing home: Make the entrance to your home as attractive as possible to invite new opportunities. Make it neat and easy to come into by removing obstacles, blockages, dying plants, worn out welcome mats, etc.

4. Look south. Display peacock feathers in the south portion of the home and keep this area well-lit. The south represents recognition. A grouping of nine candles would be excellent here as well. Consider painting the south room in your house red, orange, or a shade of red.

5. Welcome career opportunities. Keep a light in the entrance to your home turned on. A chandelier with crystal prisms that cast the different colors about the entryway is especially good.

Step Two: Your Office

8 Key Elements

2. Tap your pa kua number. Face your personal best directions if at all possible, but never ignoring #1 above. Use as many of your personal best directions as possible!

4. Get support. This is extremely important for a good career and why you should have something solid behind you. If you have a window at your back, you will suffer from lack of support. Turn so that there is a wall behind you.

Your Feng Shui Business Building Checklist

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:25:06 +0000

Feng shui is big business. Really. A certain pharmaceutical company keeps a feng shui consultant on a million dollar retainer and doesn’t make a move or change to its offices without talking with their consultant first.

Many businesses think that feng shui means Asian decorating style. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Feng shui isn’t just a “Zen” experience or a method for selecting sofa colors and decorative accessories. It’s about seeing your environment in a whole new way. See if this doesn’t get you thinking!

___1. Create flow. No matter whether you have a retail business or you’re a solo-preneur working from home, flow is critical. In the retail setting, it’s important that shelves and goods are pulled away from the walls and that customers can walk around them. If you have a home office, pull your desk away from a wall and place it executive style in the room. This means energy can flow around your desk – and that means business.

___2. Big behinds pay. What’s behind you really matters. (No, not like that! ;-0) If you work at a desk at home or in an office, it’s vital to have a solid wall of support behind you and not a window or door or having your back to the door. If you have a retail business, what’s behind your business? Big buildings BEHIND your business or office will give you good support. A big business front and a little behind isn’t as supportive as a little front and a big behind.

___3. Get off the floor. Make sure that your name is prominently placed and positioned where you look UP at it – even if you work from home! Frame your business name and hang it up on the wall behind you. If you have a rug printed with your name at the front of your business, then people are walking on your good name. Get rid of it.

___4. Signs of life. Every business needs living energy. A vase of flowers or a pretty plant all make a difference in the energy of your business. Keep lush, healthy plants or fresh flowers in your business. I know a restaurant that is always busy and the proprietor maintains a vase full of long-stem roses right by the register.

___5. Don’t get cut off. When you work at a desk or at a register, don’t work behind L-shapes. These become like a hatchet that cuts off flow and can actually be harmful to you. Remove desk returns to stop them from emitting harsh, cutting energy that symbolically cuts you in half!

___6. Put power in the power position. Always place executives at the rear of the building. This is similar to generals standing behind the troops. Executives should be able to see the “troops” at work and should never be placed close to the entrance with the troops behind the general!

___7. Keep your surroundings bright. By keeping your office and business well-lit, you are infusing your space with yang energy – so important for keeping sales coming.

___8. Watch what’s in front of you. What is opposite your desk or the front door to your business? The view from here can often determine your success. If there’s an oncoming street, this can create severe poison arrow energy. If you have a bookshelf opposite your desk, you’ll feel under attack. Make the view a pleasant, uplifting one and you’ll invite prosperity to your business.
