METAL RAT 2020 YEAR

The Metal Rat Year has just begun on February 4th, based on the Solar Calendar.  

January starts off with a bang with so many clients requesting updates to prepare for the year ahead, which keeps me working round the clock until now.  So, finally have a breather to put my thoughts together for this month’s newsletter, hope you enjoy.

Starting off with the Tiger month, it begins with a roar.  Tigers are known for their fierceness and protective nature. They have a stubborn streak and when teamed up with the Earth energy this month as well, only strengthens that resolve. On the other hand this is a month for exhibiting kindness, and getting the job done as Tigers have an amazing strength to push forward and the Earth adds to this with its groundedness and logical thinking.  No better time to put your plans into motion for what lies ahead this year.

Since this is the first month of the New Year let me give you some insights into the energies for the year 2020.  Being a Metal Rat year there is a focus on justice, and we can expect upheavals with highs and lows prevailing. Imagine a Rat in armor, ready to do battle. Yes, we will be tested, as you are already seeing with events around the world and here in America.  Be ready for the unexpected, it’s a rollercoaster ride ahead, everything from stagnation, to steadiness, to unexpected changes, both good and unwelcoming.  In business, this year the Earth element is exhibiting its full strength, and can expect any businesses related to construction, real estate, mining, and insurance to prosper. On the other hand businesses that will face a steep challenge are tourism, travel, shipping, and most affected is the aviation industries, as we already see happening.

How to thrive this year, in particular we can expect that help is on the way. Breathe slowly, step back and determine how you can play a proactive role in being part of the solution.  Find ways to be helpful to others, to bring us together. Determine commonalities that transcend the polarized viewpoints that are so prevalent. 

How can we create unity? What are the lessons to be learned, to find acceptance in who we are being. Not just for self, but also for the greater good. Trust that people and solutions show up. What you think and believe is what persists. This is a year where change is the prevailing course. Be honest and take a close look into your self. Where are our old conditionings that keep us small showing up, and how can I truly make a change to embrace my greatness. This is a warrior year, face your fears. I know this has been said over and over in recent years, but we are truly at the tipping point. The Metal Rat year is a powerful time; unrest is part of this energy, as this is often what is needed to bring about real change. Keep your eyes open, have an action plan ready to embrace the opportunities, and expect a year filled with excitement and challenge.  Charge ahead in the spirit of love and unity ….

THE FUTURE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED

Published in “Creating Genius Magazine” October 17th, 2014

 

People often ask me, what is the next area or thing needed for a business to have greater expandability. And let’s face it, everyone has an answer depending on their area of expertise. For me, the next big thing has never changed. It always comes down to the individual. Do they have what it takes? You know, that living, breathing creative spirit? Or are they followers of trends, disempowering themselves, and thus, staying mediocre without any knowledge of their self-sacrifice? Continue reading

IT AMAZES ME

What fascinates me is how businesses function with the relationship attraction of like-to-like and then hope they do not end up in partner disputes, leading to friends’ no-more. A great example of this being the way we view/separate that which belongs within another culture. And yes, I am talking about this misunderstood term “Feng Shui”. Continue reading

The Fear and Love of your Identity

LANGUAGE OF SPACE

 

Let’s finally tear away the misconception of who we are and the BIG WHY of just how crucial this is to Start-Ups, CEO‘s, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners. How does a person obtain the necessary skills needed to maintain and propel a business up the ladder? And do those skillsets change over the years, I think yes, as well as the “character type” leading the charge.

 

There is no doubt the head of any organization has to have a range of particular skills. Unfortunately in these times it may not be enough, and we have seen this with the replacement of Steve Jobs early in Apple’s climb to the top. Steve came back and mountains were conquered, WHY? What made the difference in his abilities?

 

Memory plays a large role in WHO WE ARE. So how does this play out in one’s role as an individual, in our social environment and are we really aware of our subjects (you) role during the performance? The performance being the absolute collection of past experiences developed into a composite analysis of collaborative acceptance when engaging in the present moment. Hopefully also updating the data to acknowledge/recognize our future opportunities. Continue reading

Feng Shui Stuff

OK guys lets do some Feng Shui stuff. Lets just for a minute go with the idea that we are all connected, so what you may say. Well if this is the case then why can I not see this????

 

We know that life and especially ours are made up of patterns regardless of…if we are creating them outwardly…or they are coming to us not so good or lovingly.

 

Using a crude expression, they all arrive in some symbolic form. So if the language that flows between us and our experiences is a symbolic language then the patterns show us the translation. Continue reading

THE ALLIANCE MYTH OR TRUTH

Believe it or not, this is a profound time of change, not because someone claims it so, but because we as a species demand it. Evolution may be a crude term, but our need for growth is inevitable. When a bug leapt from a pig to a chicken and created bird flu, the animal world announced that they were evolving faster than us humans!

 

As a collective group, humans are the most powerful force on the face of this earth. What a shame we are not unified.
We, at whatever organization we may belong to, have the opportunity to develop beyond our limitations. Find those connections with those persons/organizations who have reached the next step we are aiming for, to continue on an upscale path. Creating alliances seems to be the flavor in these times, the question is:

 

(1) Does this create comfort with like minded people
(2) Or does it set up the challenges we need to face, in order to move forward and grow
(3) Have we created a unified team or an alliance of individuals that continues to keep us as we are Continue reading
