\u00a0We want things like more money, \u00a0fun, \u00a0creativity, or a different work environment. \u00a0Whatever the reason, it is your soul&#8217;s calling, your inner passion, your higher self, trying to get your attention. \u00a0It is saying, &#8220;look alive, there is something better on the horizon and its on its way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I have always loved the phrase, \u00a0SUCCESS HAPPENS WHEN&#8230;. &#8220;OPPORTUNITY MEETS WITH PREPARATION&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When I decided to leave my corporate job of over 15 yrs. it was a very hard decision. \u00a0While I made great money, \u00a0I knew I wanted something different, more creative, more empowering. \u00a0I felt my skills were not appreciated and I was overworked. \u00a0I traveled extensively and wanted a break. \u00a0I made the decision to leave and have not looked back.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some Feng Shui things I did that made that transition easier and more successful. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1)<strong> Make a Decision and Stick with It<\/strong>. \u00a0 Once I decided to leave, I was steadfast knowing there would be people like my sales force, my bosses, my friends, parents, etc. \u00a0trying to talk me out of it.<\/p>\n<p>2) <strong>Get Support<\/strong>. \u00a0I went to a career therapist\/coach before I resigned. \u00a0You could have a good friend, a mentor, or someone in your networking group you can run your ideas by. \u00a0Make sure they are positive people who are already successful and happy in their careers who will support your change.<\/p>\n<p>3)<strong>Have a Lifeline<\/strong>. \u00a0Make sure you have enough funds to support your change. \u00a0Maybe you try a new career because \u00a0it is really what you want to do but the pay is lower than you are used to. \u00a0You might not take it because you did not allow yourself some elbow room to live while you build up your savings. \u00a0Severance pay, savings, a spouse&#8217;s income, etc. Leaving a job with no parachute is incredibly stressful and will make a new career or a self-employment opportunity difficult to take off. \u00a0I had two years of living expenses in savings to live on if I made no money in my new endeavor. \u00a0Fortunately, I did not need to use it. \u00a0This is different for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>4)<strong> Feng Shui Your Space<\/strong>. \u00a0Once I decided to leave, I removed all things in my home office from my past. \u00a0Old sales awards on the wall, books, tapes, files, etc. from my old company. \u00a0I &#8220;cleaned house&#8221;. \u00a0I put up things for the new opportunity as a Feng Shui Consultant. \u00a0I had a print of an article that had recently been written on me. \u00a0I framed it and put it on my South wall (Fame). \u00a0If \u00a0looking for a new job, find a posting of an ideal job with right pay, location, etc. \u00a0 Print it out and post it on the South Wall of your office. \u00a0See that job as yours!<\/p>\n<p>Within days of my resigning, I got a call from a client who landed up being my anchor\/referral client for years. \u00a0I feng shui-ed her home and she referred many people to me. \u00a0It was my sign from the universe that I had made the right move. \u00a0Interestingly, she was an MD. \u00a0I worked in the medical device industry for about 20 yrs. \u00a0There was no connection with her to my old companies&#8230; she just called me out of the blue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join our FREE Teleclass Series beginning on Thursday, August 8th, 2013. \u00a0For more details and to hear about future ones, join our mailing list at www.designforenergy.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our First class with be about Feng Shui For Career Transition<\/strong> where I will give specific advice on things to add to your office to help move energy in the direction you desire.<\/p>\n<p>For more assistance on your career transition or to Feng Shui Your Home Office \u00a0for success, contact us. \u00a0We offer a Free 30 minute phone assessment by appt.<\/p>\n<p>Successful Transitions!<\/p>\n<p>Belinda Mendoza<\/p>\n<p>Feng Shui Master, Teacher<\/p>\n<p>Sales\/Marketing Coach and Mentor<\/p>\n<p>Design For Energy<\/p>\n<p>www.designforenergy.com<\/p>\n<p>512\/740-1251<\/p>\n<p>Design For Energy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have lost a job or been laid off, it can be the most stressful time because you were not prepared for it. \u00a0If you see it as an opportunity for newer and better things, you can attract even more success and fulfillment.
