How Your Environment Matters More to Your Business Success Than Working Hard Every DayJust like you breathe the air around you, you live with the results of your Feng Shui every day whether you are conscious of it or not. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese secret that can improve business results with surprising efficiency.Feng Shui is about understanding your external body - this case, your business body - to consciously program your environment for the results you want to experience in your life and business. You don't need to have a Feng Shui consultation as much as you need to understand Feng Shui basics.Your environment is transmitting messages continuously 24/7/365 whether you know it or not. Think of the last time you were in a beautiful space that was clean, well-organized, well-lit, and smelled fresh. Now think of the last time you were in a place that made you uncomfortable or made you push back from being there - maybe it had poor lighting, clutter, stinky trash, too much furniture that didn't match, or just felt chaotic. Which environment made you feel more energized, productive, and happier? THAT is the power of modern Feng Shui in action.Committing to the benefits of Feng Shui business principles means infusing a physical environment with intention and interacting with natural processes to achieve desired life balance. Some of the topics covered in this book include:- practical Feng Shui considerations- the '911' red flags that could be sabotaging business success- the three levels of working with your environment- exercises to take your 'money pulse'- how to map your business environment to activate specific energies- the metaphysical meaning of specific objects you can use to adjust your space- rituals you can use to enhance your business prosperity- and much moreWhen I discovered Feng Shui, it was like finding my personal compass to help navigate life. Like many others, I was initially skeptical... until I had my own experience with it. I've always been 'curvy' and, when I was just learning about Feng Shui, I was working out every day and eating well to lose weight. I was also packing my house to move and put all my large, packed boxes in the least-used room in my house - the dining room. The dining room was, essentially, the center of the house which corresponds to the Health area of the Feng Shui map. As a new Feng Shui practitioner, I was on an email list for the Feng Shui tips of the day. After about a month of working out really hard and doing all the right things but not losing any weight, I got my Feng Shui tip for the day - "beware of large heavy objects in your Health area as it can cause you to gain weight." My jaw hit the floor - I was stunned. I moved the boxes, and, within just the next week, I lost ten pounds! After that, I started trying different Feng Shui cures and adjustments, practicing them both on myself and my friends. As their lives started changing and I got better results, I chose to make Feng Shui a professional career for several years. It's continued to be my first love in understanding universal flow because of the direct connection between what is and what is desired.This book walks you through what you need to know to begin a new relationship with your Feng Shui office and business environment so you can start consciously creating more of the results you want in your life and business.

Innovation Makers: How Campus Makerspaces Can Empower Students to Change the World is the culmination of journalist and entrepreneurship educator Emi Makino''s studies into the best practices for creating makerspaces - an important but currently ailing aspect of helping student-age creators learn experientially. By producing real prototypes in controlled, professional environments with state-of-the-art equipment but without the strict guidance of university controls to hinder their progress, Makino has touched on a key resource currently lacking not just in Japan, but around the globe. Makino relates some of the greatest stories of student-led projects that only survived because of makerspaces, including Jane Chen''s team, which has saved hundreds of thousands of children across eleven countries with their Embrace blanket. Makino creates the first real prescription for building makerspaces properly by studying those that have succeeded, such as Hongo Tech Garage. She addresses the reasons commercial-run makerspaces have largely failed, and why it behooves governments and educational facilities to work together to ensure that they become readily available so more young geniuses can help change the world for the better.
