It is that time of year again here in New York, both on Long Island and in New York City. The time of year when graduations take place. This year many new Feng Shui Consultants will be graduating and starting a new career....which sent my memory way, WAY back.
Feng Shui is so popular in New York it's not surprising that so many people are taking the classes. Just like Real Estate Agents, Home Stagers or anyone else involved in one way or another with Real Estate, most new graduates, if not all, are making a HUGE commitment...to their clients and themselves. I believe that most are not simply jumping on the "Feng Shui bandwagon" but truly wish to inspire and help their clients because it is something they truly believe in; they have seen it work.

I wondered how many are going to take the plunge and quit their regular jobs. I had to keep mine for several years while I was establishing my name, my business and the MANY misconceptions of Feng Shui. It was a difficult job just getting the name out there at a time when it seemed no one knew what it was. I wonder how many will persevere through the difficult times they are sure to encounter; I see such dedication in so many fields here on ActiveRain, particularly in Home Staging which some people are still not aware of yet or have misconceptions about. And they hard work they put in to dispel the misconceptions and never quit because they love it and believe in it.
Staging a Home helps it sell...faster and for more money. Feng Shui helps a home sell...faster and for more money. The two work hand in hand.
If I had one word of advice to the new Feng Shui Consultants it would simply be this: NEVER stop learning. I was fortunate to have attended many, MANY additional Feng Shui Classes and Intensives to be able to study with a multitude of wonderful mentors. It broadens your horizons and is helpful to every one of your clients. I am convinced you can NEVER learn enough about Feng Shui-your knowledge is going to be vital to many, many people.
PERSISTANCE. One powerful word with a lot of meaning.
