The Apartment Feng Shui



Many people confuse and thought Feng Shui for Apartments are different than houses and apartments are normally has bad Feng Shui. Are these true or just a misunderstanding?

Before we dig for the answer, let see what the major differences between landed properties and apartments are. Basically apartments have no land or outside environment to remedy or control. Apartments often have less than ideal entrances and darker as it is coming from the building’s interior hallway and very common, the first thing you see when entering an apartment is kitchen.

In fact, the principles of Feng Shui are the same applying for both apartments and houses. But, because the design and structure of apartment that does not have land or outside environment to remedy for health and prosperity, the Feng Shui for apartment is mainly focus with the interiors.

Due to most apartments’ kitchen is near to the entrance, many people are misunderstanding that apartments normally has bad Feng Shui than houses. In actual fact, it is not all true. Apartments can have just as good or better Feng Shui than a house, depending on other compensating features. Among the features include:

* What floor is your apartment located in a multi-level building? Feng Shui numerology suggests that you should always pick a floor that matches your personal Trigram; a personal trigram is calculated based on your birth date. The rule of thumb, your apartment should always be as far away as possible from the garage entry gate or the building’s trash dumpster.

* The dark entrance can affect your apartment Feng Shui. When you are living in an apartment building, there are two things to consider: The entrance to the building; and the entrance to the individual apartment. Because these types of apartments are all enclosed in one building, the entrance is very important. The rule of thumb, if your apartment has is not bright enough, it is better to install a skylight, it will help to improve the environment in general and remedy Feng Shui in specific.

* If you are living at the middle floor and there is other apartments close to your apartment. These building blocks will block sunshine entering your apartment causing your apartment have dark environment during the day time when you did not turn on the light (which normally people will light off in day time).

This dark environment can be improved with the installation of bright lights just inside and outside the front door and left them on during the dark hours. Good lighting also helps stimulate the general flow of energy and is one of the best accessories for promoting balance and harmony within the home.

* Most of average size apartments have limitation of the space. When arranging dining room furniture, make sure that chairs do not restrict doorways. There should be ample space for people to walk around the table without having to maneuver around chairs or other furniture.

Summary

Same Feng Shui principle is applying for both apartments and houses but because of the limitation of building structures and design of apartment, the Feng Shui remedies are slightly different than houses.



Organisations in the private and public sectors outsource food service and restaurant operations. These include business and industry, education, healthcare, event venues, heritage and leisure attractions and increasingly hotels.

But research shows that outsourcing food service and restaurant operations leaves many businesses wishing they hadn’t bothered, but why?

Could this be down to widespread service partner inability to perform? Or does the cause of the problem lay elsewhere?

The ink on the contract is dry. All the hard work has paid off with a great financial deal that also promises improved quality and happy customers.

Your work is done. Or is it?

Most businesses involved in outsourcing are vague about spelling out at the beginning what’s expected, performance expectations are explored but not always addressed, and often performance measurements are not put in place.

Could the root cause simply be a mismatch of expectations, both the service partner’s and the client’s?

The absence of such performance measurements in service contracts and the means to capture them in place has lead to far too many outsourcing relationships failing.

Research shows that ultimate success with outsourced food service and restaurant operations begins with initial contract discussions.

When outsourcing, remember that although the service provider takes responsibility for the process, it’s still your business and you need to manage the relationship actively. So think carefully about the following during your contract discussions:

1.Take your time in making decisions, and make sure you are clear about the terms on which you and the service provider are working.

2.Make the effort to establish a good relationship – this requires constant communication and flexibility.

3.Choose a member of your team to take responsibility for the relationship with your service provider.

4.Staff may have concerns about their own jobs, so keep them informed.

5.Check on employment legislation and your responsibilities for staff that may transfer.

6.If you can stay with your service provider for several years, you are likely to get the best results, but make sure you objectively check performance and don’t take things for granted!

7.You may need to renegotiate the contract before the end of the term. A flexible contract helps both parties; allowing the service provider to innovate and you to deal with changing circumstances.

8.Aim for a smooth transition. Even with good planning, it’s a steep learning curve for everyone, so seek independent advice and use the opportunity to put in place a solid service level agreement for the future,or better still use a “business value agreement”.

9.There should be financial benefits, but other reasons for outsourcing are harder to quantify. These could be a higher profile for your business, more credibility, improved quality or fewer problems and the key thing is measure results!

10.The relationship might prematurely end or may simply have run its course. Either way, make ensure your agreement contains a clear exit strategy.

Far too many people still work on the basis of out of sight, out of mind. But to make outsourcing a success, it can’t be emphasized enough, that it’s still your business, you don’t need to manage the process, but you do need to manage the relationship.

All good relationships need to be worked at – don’t they!
