Creating positive energy and a harmonious work environment is key to attracting prosperity in business. Every business radiates a level of energy that can be felt and has a profound impact on the day-to-day operations of the company. If you’ve ever walked into a room shortly after an argument, (even if you weren’t there to witness the argument or conflict when it occurred) you may have sensed an uneasy feeling in the room after the incident took place. In many instances, energy created by an unpleasant discourse or event usually dissipates on its own over a short period of time. However, when negative energy lingers long after the negative incident ended and does not dissipate on its own, (this usually occurs when something traumatic has occurred in a particular work space; or the work area is the site of constant conflict and tension over a prolonged period), these negative vibrations are absorbed into the immediate atmosphere causing the work space to store negative energy, or the Chinese term (shar chi). Over time, like a residue, negative energy builds up, significantly lowering the vibrational level of the business’ atmosphere. Some indications that your business is being affected by (shar chi) include a downturn in productivity and profitability due to a prolonged period of tension, conflict and stress. Repeatedly addressing recurring issues to no avail, or experiencing constant heightened negativity such as aggravation, frustration and lethargy while spending time in a specific work area. Once you’ve made a preliminary assessment of your business’ current vibration and determined that “bad vibes” are having a compromising impact on your company’s culture, the following 4 simple steps can be easily implemented to immediately begin increasing your business’ positive energy or (chi). First, clear the air. - Many Feng Shui consultants recommend using a technique called smudging, which is simply burning sage or other clearing incense throughout the affected area.

Getting rid of all unnecessary clutter such as old, outdated broken furniture, office equipment and dying plants will also increase the flow of positive energy. Re-organize your work space.

Almost everyone agrees that too much time is wasted in meetings. It doesn’t have to be that way; that time can easily be cut in half.

4. Ethics of Educating Your Customers
If customers don’t understand a product, they won’t buy it. Customers become educated through experience. Make it your goal to educate your customers so they can better understand the products or services you offer. Of course, when they are more educated they become more sophisticated and are more likely to know better what they want or don’t want, what it will take to get it, and how much it should cost. They are also more likely to negotiate when they are educated, but this can become a selling advantage if yo...

7. The five categories of Customers
Too often, businesses look at their customers as they would rows in a spreadsheet. Businesses spend time figuring out how to get more money out of them, analyzing how often they come back and how much they spend on each trip, and figuring out how much a customer will spend on a particular item. But customers can and should be much more than just an income stream. Customers’ experiences can range from completely unhappy to glowingly positive. Both types of customer can greatly influence your company’s reputation. Generally...
