A Feng Shui Consultant in New York:  A Lesson on Intention AND Marketing

As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York, we are asked to look for and think about SIGNS.  Some are apparent to us while some are much more subtle.  We don't believe in Coincidences and NEVER believe in "Accidents."  Things happen for a reason.

Feng Shui Consultants also work with Energy and believe very much in INTENTIONS they put out (what is also called ‘The Law of Attraction' to some).  There are Reasons for everything and anything that come our way and we always need to remember to look into these things that come our way before turning them down.

 It was a thrill to have the 2009 US Open here on Long Island, NY.  I enjoyed showing you some of the pictures Laura was able to capture.  It was also during that weekend that her site http://www.FengShuiManhattan.com went "live."

Laura had planned to go near the entrance to the US Open to try and sell some of her artwork.  She'd created two pictures that she'd drawn and colored and had high-quality copies made.  By the time the rains let up, it was Sunday and she was discouraged by some from trying.

People had already purchased Mercandise from the huge tent set up inside the grounds and more then that, they were wet, tired and muddy.  The Final Game was delayed until Monday due to all the heavy rains.

Marti had emailed us the evening before to say her site would be live on Sunday.  We took it as a sign to go; just that day we had been on a Feng Shui Consultation in Brooklyn and she'd been commissioned by our client to create a mural.  It didn't seem she had much to lose.

She took a folding table, a new Art piece she was working on and the two pictures she'd done along with the copies.  She set up and continued to work on the new piece of art.  If you believe in Intention and Energy, what happened next won't surprise you.  In the spirit of:"Build it and they will come" people started coming up to her, asking her questions and snapping up her art. 

One person purchased the picture she was working on before it was even done and she was commissioned for two custom pieces.  She called me before noon to tell me she'd sold out but one person she'd spoke to had said he'd be back, he said he had something he wanted to give her.

She was thrilled!  But she also said she didn't know how long she should wait and wondered if that person would return and what he could possibly have to give her.  She decided to wait another half hour and was just packing up to leave when the kind stranger returned.

He'd been impressed with her Artwork and had purchased both pieces.  He said while most people were yelling to try to get attention to sell items, she'd just gone about her work.  Sometimes, he said, a quieter approach to Marketing is the very thing that attracts others to you and handed her two tickets to the final day of the US Open on Monday, each ticket being valued at $100 each.

Needless to say, she was speechless!  She was also able to attend a once in a life-time event and was there to see the new winner and feel the excitement in the crowd. 

Energy-Intention-Marketing all go together I realized.  We are ALL marketing, every day but how much ENERGY are we putting into it?
