Your Tabletop Water Fountain and Your Cashflow-What’s the Connection? Part 2
Back to my friend in the mortgage business:
There was a time when we first met that business had been very slow
it seemed that after an extremely fruitful period business had slowed to
a crawl and in a phone conversation I noticed her lethargy and asked
what might be bothering her.
At first she seemed reluctant to say as I was a client at that time and we were discussing the possibility of my employment, but in the end she seemed relieved to talk about it.
She confided that business had slowed down and she couldn’t figure out why.
Of course, she’d been through every possibility conceivable and she’d been in
her own mortgage brokerage for several years and was well established. She was quite good at
getting people mortgages and was normally very busy and very happy.
We set a lunch date for the following week and I didn’t talk to her until I arrived at her office to go for lunch. I was happy to see she was bouncing around and back to her normal busy bustling self.
When we got to the restaurant I couldn’t resist asking, ” what has happened to make you feel so good?”
“I see you are your old self again.”
She delighted in telling me how she’d realized that she’d gotten so busy that she stopped tending to her tabletop water fountains and over the previous ten to twelve weeks hadn’t even been turning them on since her assistant was out on pregnancy leave. It was true that she’d been depressed about missing the help of her assistant who was more like having family in the office, but she’d missed the fact that her fountains had all gone dry and the sound of flowing water had been missing as well.
Her stress had skyrocketed and the peace had disappeared and so had the cashflow!
She was quick to assure me that the energy was flowing again and the tabletop water fountains were also flowing again creating the wonderful Feng Shui that had been missing.
Lunch was served and we both noticed a very Zen like corner in the restaurant with a lovely fountain and plants and a Buddha statue. We both laughed and she assured me her fountains would never go dry again.
