Feng Shui for an IT company in New Zealand

I knew very little about New Zealand before Geoffrey Bosworth approached me about a year back. He has been urging me to visit New Zealand and I have been viewing the pictures he has sent me. I must say that New Zealand is a really beautiful country and Auckland seems a lovely place. I hope to visit Auckland soon. This is supposed to be a pleasure trip but Geoffrey has already lined up some people who want to consult me professionally.

It is more interesting as I will also be meeting a couple of Feng Shui consultants in Auckland.

I am recording the success story of Geoffrey Bosworth for posterity though this is not the end of his story.

He said, "If I was to give a title to this article, I would call it "Now It Can Be Told".

He continued, "I must say that ignoring the local Feng Shui consultants and reaching out to you in India was the best decision I took! Your guidance worked very well for me. Within less than six months, I have seen the magic impact of Feng Shui on my business. I am happier as this is happening during the period when everyone is talking of the recession and slowdown.

"To recap, I run a small IT business in Auckland. Till the end of 2007, business was good, but as the New Year began, I sensed a slowdown. Some promised projects were kept on hold and some payments due to us were delayed. I consulted a local Feng Shui consultant. She visited our offices and made some suggestions. Not only did the Feng Shui did not work, but it backfired! As it is, I was skeptic but had consulted her as my partner, Josefina, had suggested her name. Now I lost all faith in Feng Shui.

"While surfing, I came across your web site. Maybe it was my destiny. One of our clients had consulted you. Feng Shui with you, Mohan Deep, worked wonders for our business.

"Here’s how it happened: Less than two months after consulting you, two major contracts virtually fell into our lap. I remember the moment when we got the first project that ensured NZ$ 75,000 virtually across the table for the current year. Two days before that, I had video-interviewed some web designers. I required only three but here I had twelve competent professionals. Some had been laid off and were desperate for a secure job. But how would I use them without enough of projects. This is when the first project came my way. When I heard who I was dealing with, my hands trembled with excitement. We hope to complete the project before the end of this fiscal year. This project is from a world known brand and if completed satisfactorily, it will mean a recurring business of several millions every year. The second project was offered to my partner in the space of three days. It is also big, but we are dealing with other New Zealanders.

"We are now keeping our fingers crossed for regular and recurring business to come our way."

My earlier impression about New Zealand was only that they are makers of good cheese and are as crazy about cricket as we Indians are. I never realized that IT business too has been growing there. But if the Kiwis and others can consider India as a country of elephants strolling on the roads (true and you can also add buffalos, cows, goats and dogs to this list) and snake charmers, my mistake can certainly be forgiven.

Like Geoffrey’s success story, it seems like every success story after an online consultation ends in an invitation for me to visit a new country. It is New Zealand this time.
