Feng Shui in the home office

Looking for success? What are you waiting for? Apply any of these Feng Shui ideas to see your home-based career soar.

1. Never sit with your back to the door. Face the door and you'll welcome new business and happy clients.

2. What's the first thing visitors see when they enter your office?

They shouldn't see a stack of unfinished work on your desk, your lunch dishes, or a pile of bills on their way to the mailbox.

Instead, display awards, photos of happy clients, newspaper articles about your business, and so on.

3. Decorate the back wall of your office -- the one visitors look at when they walk through the door -- with the color red.

Red is the "fame color," and its energy is positive. (Bonus points if you wear a red dress.)

The "money corner" in Feng Shug is the back left corner of the room. On a chart, that's be the upper left corner.

Marketing experts say that's also the "hot spot" when you design your website.

It works.

For greater success, put your most powerful image or text at the upper left corner of your business website. (Don't waste it on navigation or a list of links.)

Whether your success comes from Feng Shui or common sense, it's still a smart way to design your website.
