     In this last article of the wealth series, I will touch upon the importance of connection. Connection with the world, your clients in business, and connection with your innermost desires. Without connection, there can be no interaction of energies, and interaction of energies is what feeds us and energizes us. 

Because we are replenished by the transfer of energy, it is necessary to be aware of the energy sources you surround yourself with. This is the primary function of feng shui – to ensure that your environment supports you in a positive manner and that your personal energy is strong and supportive of your goals and dreams.

In the matter of wealth and business, your connection with potential and enduring customers is what will make the difference in your bottom line. Positive word of mouth and referrals are the highest praise any customer can give your business, making it your most valuable asset in attaining true wealth. 

Positive word of mouth from your customers begins with good service, which includes a variety of aspects. First of all, your advertising must be strong and clear, reflecting the strength of your service. The customer will also want to feel that your business is competitive in the market and that you are on the cutting edge of process and trends. You can easily connect your business to the customer’s needs on the internet with a newsletter, special events, and offers and gifts. Participate in expos and exhibitions where potential customers can experience your service. When they see your expertise and connect with a warm, sincere personality, they will feel confident about choosing your services over someone else’s. Provide a follow up service when applicable, so that the customer knows they will be taken care of during the process of procuring your business.

Just as important as making a connection with your customer, is connecting with yourself. Do what you love and love what you do. Love is the greatest investment you can make in anything you do and it is 

the root of success and true wealth in every aspect of life – your relationships, health, prosperity and general well-being. Positive attracts positive. The more you give, the more you receive.

People who are successful are usually doing something meaningful that they are passionate about and which contributes something to society. Doing something you are passionate about is what compatibility is all about. When you care about something or possess the natural skills to perform a certain service, the work will be more engaging and energizing, than hard and monotonous. Your interest and focus will be heightened, thus your work will be powerful and attractive. 

When your work is stressful, a burden, or a source of frustration, you will likely not do your job well, possibly harming others or creating negative karma that could bring negative events or money loss in your life. Remember that the work or field you choose to do creates karma for you. If you produce pollution in your factory, poisons in your products, induce violent behavior in your toys, this will karmically come back to collect from you - if not in this lifetime, then in the next.

If you are born into a low level of wealth, little ambition, minimal talents or skills and find it impossible to make big money, you have heavy karma and need to depend on others such as family or government. Realize that you need to find a permanent job and not be a burden to family and society. This way, the world will be a better and more peaceful place.

The world is constantly learning until we get it right. Enlightened beings will find that wealth is not for keeping, it is for sharing, for we come with empty hands and leave with empty hands. Make your wealth in an efficient way with peace and smooth sailing. When you get wealth and you understand the laws of nature, you will find it natural to share it with friends and family and with the world to encourage peace and cultivate humanity.
