Making Progress by New York Feng Shui Consultant

Making Progress by New York Feng Shui Consultant

I want to share this story because it very much relates to to the teachings of Feng Shui. Growing up my modo was "I think I can," and "I'll give it a try," even if it the challenges given to me seemed like an impossible task or goal.  For the past 27 years, I have been constantly thinking about traveling back to Colombia, my birth place.  My extended motivation is to also travel around the world, I already have destinations mapped out.  I know that the greatest lessons truly wait beyond the foundation of my home.

Finally making progress and helping to manifest my dreams to become a reality, I forge forward. The year of 2012 for all, is about getting things done, no excuses.  So once the New Year rang in (even before) I hit the ground running.  The teaching of Feng Shui, "go with the flow," have come in handy.  As obstacles pop up and things are not in sync (not being negative, being realistic) I shift gears and than return to the original goal.

The Universe has blessed me with wonderful "helpful people" to get the final processes for me to travel underway. 

The lessons for today:

  • Be thankful for the challenges given to you, for that is what enhances your wisdom to help others
  • Set clear goals and intention, remember to do your part in helping to manifest them into a reality. Feng Shui is 80% mental and 20% physical
  • when obstacles pop up and they will, do not become discouraged. You have other ares of your life that need attending too.  By doing that you are gaining knowledge so you can than return to the original goal
  • Even tho your goals may seem way off the charts, they are not, they are your dreams....so go for it!!

What kind of people will be on your bus for business? by Feng Shui LI Consultant

What kind of people will be on your bus for business? by Feng Shui LI Consultant


It's important to have a strong support team when establishing your business.  Your family and friends support you with everyday life situations.  This is just as important for your business.  Your employees, business accountant, lawyer, fellow real estate agents, whom ever it may be to help your business prosper should also provide positive support. 

So the question is, What kind of people will be on your bus for business? In Feng Shui we refer to this area of you life as "helpful people."  You need to call in those who meet your standards of good character and personality.  Like attracts like, that law never fails.

A good way to start is by making a list of your business standards, think about the reputation you seek to have.  Than list all the positive characteristics you wish your employees to have as a person.  That energy combined with your passion for the business, proper training and, a supportive nature towards them will help to create a wining combination. 

This idea even extends to your outer circles of support, again the lawyer, the accountant, your supplier and the list goes on. 

Good luck!!

My Quote of the Week!

Lindie produces an excellent quote by Simon Sinek that states the importance of never giving up and seeing the bigger picture.  Think outside the box of reality, that is how you service, that is how you become successful in work, play and life.  

Via Lydie Ouellet Dickinson, Realtor (Realty Executives Tri County, Bellingham MA):

I just got off the phone with Tom Ferry "My Coach". He held his annual Pump Up Conference Call.

Well; according to Tom, "This Is My Time". I believe that we all need to reminded every once in a while to take action. We all dream of bigger and better things. Question is: Do we really want it? Are we mentally ready to handle the work load? All great questions that Tom asked earlier in this fantastic call.

He suggested reading Simon Sinek's book titled: "Start with Why". I think I will go get a copy and read on. In the meantime, here is a wonderful find from Simon. Perfect for my "Quote of the Week". Make it a great one!

" Though we may have desires or bold goals, for whatever reason, most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?"

New York City, Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn and, the Brox are known for being on the move all the times.  If this is the case and you are looking to complete a Feng Shui consultation in a fast paced manner, "it is not the best idea," says Feng Shui Expert Laura Cerrano. You are really cheating yourself and your Feng Shui consultant of providing you with an informative and proper consultation.  Feng Shui is meant to be completed when you the client feels grounded. 

Yes, there are fast ways to enhance your home and office with Feng Shui. You can research educational blogs and articles on Feng Shui but, if you are serious with enhancing the energy for a lifetime, remember this saying, "If you're going to do something, do it right."  It's important to be grounded so your Feng Shui consultant can produce an accurate reading of your home and business energy. This will lead to them providing correct suggestions and cures according to Feng Shui to help enhance your well being.

So, before truly moving forward with a Feng Shui Consultation do not be nonchalant about it, be passionate, for that is the type of energy that will resonate during your consultation.

Kung Hay Fat Choy! "HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2012" from Las Vegas Nevada

Happy Chinese New Year, we welcome the year of the Water Dragon.  The Dragon is highly revered and respected in the Chinese culture.  It is a mystical creature created by various animals such as the tiger, fish, snake and eagle which gives it magnificent power to accomplish a great deal.  The Dragon is powerful, energetic, generous, wise, sensitive, honest, but be aware also short tempered and at times unpredictable. 

The year of the Dragon is a time to welcome longevity, wealth and prosperity and to release any negative energy from the past. Also be mindful this year brings, excitement, unpredictability, exhilaration and intensity. During this time many are in the mode of "Go for it!" but, be wise with the decisions you make.  Do not through all your commonsense out the window, for you may find yourself in unnecessary situations.  Be open to change knowing it is always for the better and Go with the flow.  This is a year to work hard and manifest your goals.

January Contest: Trust Through an Adopted Child's Perspective by Feng Shui Long Island

January Contest: Trust Through an Adopted Child's Perspective by Feng Shui Long Island

Adam and Yong Feng Shui consultant Laura Cerrano where adopted from Colombia

 

Trust builds your reputation in life, it lays down the foundation to all relationships (personal and business) and, it's what gives you the will to live, for you trust in a hire being/source to provide nourishment for your body, mind and, soul.

This is TRUST expressed through the eyes of a adopted child. Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Long Island was adopted from Colombia and understood at a very young age, life was a world wind of questions.  Why was she given up for adoption? Did her biological family love her? Where does she come from?  On top of that, she still asked herself the typical questions, where was she going in life? What was her purpose?... and the list goes on. 

From Laura's personal experience along with the guidance from others, it seemed adopted children had a much greater life mystery to unravel. Depending on how they handle the cards dealt to them, they could either live a Life Journey filled with unanswered questions or an excellent adventure in discovering their true self. 

Adopted children are naturally given "trust issues" that flow deep with in.  The idea of abandonment, for they were given up by their birth parents subconsciously reappears but, with different relationship throughout their life.  With guidance, research, understanding, patience and, trust, one of the biggest challenges adopted children have to to face can be overcome

Feng Shui consultant Laura Cerrano Trusted in her mother Carole Provenzale to raise her, protect, mentor her in the Art of Feng Shui, inspire, support and most importantly, learn to TRUST her intuition to survive the game of Life.

Trust is one of those key ingredients you need in life in order to prosper and be happy

Keyword Tools for Your Blog

Excellent SEO Advice for those redoing or re-amping up your blog site, websites...etc.  This is very much worth reading and reviewing your content to put the very best information out there for potential customers.

Via Brad Andersohn (Zillow - Outreach Manager):

Back in the day, a few of us discovered a really cool tool from Google known as "The Wonder Wheel" which helped members with keyword selection for their SEO friendly blog posts.  Now that the Wonder Wheel is gone, I get literally hundreds of requests from members looking for good alternatives to enhance and better the "Keyword" content on their blogs, sites, posts, and blog titles.

Understanding The Importance of Keyword Searches:

Search engines like Google focus on returning the best quality and "Best Available" SERP's (Search Engine Results Pages)  It's all based on what "Keywords" or phrases are being typed into the Search box.  Search engines simply want to return the best available matching content based on both short-tail and long-tail keyword searches.

The two things people search most are: the item, the person, the company, the thing or service, and then a geographic or what many refer to as a "hyper-local" location.  Having this knowledge about search engines and keywords is the first step, the next steps will hopefully help remove the guessing game of...

"What are people looking for and typing in the search box of search engines?"


No pun intended (well, maybe a little...) SEARCH NO MORE!
  While we can never really be 100% certain of what people are searching and the exact keywords or terms they're using, these keyword tools will help you not only define what IS being searched on the web, but how and what keywords to be using when creating and refining your blog titles and blog content.

Keyword Tools for Your Blog

Introducing Google's Keyword Tool:


In the "Keyword Search" we typed "Real Estate in San Francisco" which seems like a pretty reasonable search that most web surfers would type if interested in looking at Real Estate in San Francisco.  Interestingly the "Keyword Tool" came back showing that there is a larger percentage of people searching San Francisco Apartments which might make sense considering the space and demographic of San Francisco.


Maybe creating a Blog post with the Title "San Francisco Apartments" and then provide content on how those living in "San Francisco Apartments" could qualify for a great loan, with great rates, and possibly become first time buyers and first time homeowners.  Would this be a worthy option and idea worth trying?  This is just a sample of how you can use these Keyword tools to better your content, your traffic, and hopefully your business.

How should I use the Keyword Tool for keyword ideas?

Search for specific keyword ideas that are related to your business, product, or service.  Or you can search a URL containing content relative to your specific niche, business, or service.  You can also go straight to filtering out specific keyword categories.  Use one or the other or both of them together; the keyword tool is very flexible and intuitive depending on how you choose to use it.  Go ahead and try this:

  • Use the Advanced options to refine your search, for example, by county, city, or neighborhood.
  • Check or Un-check  the keyword match type check boxes to refine your search.
  • Select the Columns button above the results table to customize the columns you see in the results.

Give the Google Keyword Tool a Try

Check out the Google Keyword Toolbox

Soovle Is Another Great Keyword Tool


Soovle.com search multiple sites and returns most searched results
on multiple platforms of your choosing.  You can select from up to 15 sites at one time to get the most poplar searched "Keywords" or related "Phrases" on those individual sites.  Here are the results as I started typing the keywords "Real Estate" when suddenly I realized that if I stopped typing, the Soovle tool kicked in and started solving...


I was personally pretty excited to see that on the Yahoo site, "Zillow Real Estate" was a pretty popular search by consumers and Internet surfers.  (I do hope you have a profile setup on our site for those visitors to view)

You Have Moved Out – The House is Vacant – Now What?

Myrl is full of knowledge and great ideas, read this post and gain great insight with how to enhance your ability to sell your home. here is an example of a simple suggestion.

1) Leave draperies and window coverings on the windows when you move.  In most cases they will not fit your new home anyway.  And leaving them in place, helps to muffle the echo heard in vacant houses.

Via Myrl Jeffcoat (Real Living Great West Real Estate):

 

 

Without a doubt, this housing cycle more than any other I've experienced as a Realtor these past 30+ years, has produced a larger percentage of vacant properties listed For Sale.  In addition to the avalanche of REO or bank owned properties; and number of homes being marketed as short-sales, are folks, who need to move for employment opportunities, and other reasons.  They must leave their existing home behind.

Real Estate professionals say, vacant homes often sell slowly, and for less money than well furnished similar properties  That's because many folks buy on emotion and have a hard time warming up to an empty house.  A lived-in home can be much more appealing.

 

 

 

Empty homes often present an echo when you walk through them, and because doors and windows aren’t opened to allow air to circulate, odors can accumulate. 

So, you are marketing a vacant home, what can you do to create an edge from all other vacant properties listed For Sale?

(1) Leave draperies and window coverings on the windows when you move.  In most cases they will not fit your new home anyway.  And leaving them in place, helps to muffle the echo heard in vacant houses.

(2) Deep clean and paint the house.  When homeowners move, they take pictures and move furniture to take with them.  This usually leaves discolorations on the walls, and flaws not previously noticed are now visible.  Paint is inexpensive, and often pays dividends in sales price.  Use neutral colors, which will go with furniture, prospective homebuyers may have.

(3) Light fixtures should be left throughout the house.  Lighting helps the house seem more welcoming.  If you have 60 watt bulbs in the fixtures, consider increasing the watts to 75 or even 100, if the lamp or fixture will accommodate it.  Rooms seem larger and warmer with more light. 

(4) If you can leave some of your furniture behind, it is worth doing.  Make certain it is of reasonably good quality, and not old furniture you were planning on hauling off to the dumps.  Furniture in a marketed home can help a homebuyer put things in perspective.  Furniture provides an element of scale to a room. 

(5) Consider a Home Staging service, or furniture rental.  If you don't have enough furniture for your new home and this existing home you re selling, staging or furniture rental can make a great difference.

(6) Only rent out your vacant home if you have no financial recourse, but to do so.  Generally typical tenants do not keep houses in "show-to-sell" condition, nor are they always the most cooperative in allowing access for showings. 

If you are selling a vacant home, be certain to communicate with your real estate professional about other tips to selling your home!  And Good Luck to YOU!
