Balance. Harmony. Prosperity.
We could all use more balance, harmony, and prosperity in our careers as well as personal lives. Rina Lee, founder of Strategic Feng Shui, employs a combination of classical Chinese Metaphysics systems to improve the working and living environments of clients, making them more harmonious and productive. When seeking more balance in her own business, Rina turned to MentorNet, a mentor program for women in business.
“Operating a small business, you face very different demands compared to working in a corporate environment. For instance, you are your own administrative staff, marketing department, and strategic planner. There is not enough time in a day to complete all these tasks. You can feel quite isolated in your own working environment. Taking part in MentorNet helped me put mental pictures and snapshots of my business goals onto paper in the business planning stage. “With clear, written goals, I became more focused and was able to allocate time to achieve important milestones to take my business to the next level. I had the opportunity to meet other businesswomen in the program to exchange ideas and form friendships. During the program my team members were sounding boards for existing and new ideas – and I for them.”
“MentorNet helped me create my own balance and a better division of my time between family and work demands.”
MentorNet helped Rina define and fine-tune her business goals. “I found that this one step of defining a specific goal and sticking to it has changed everything,” says Rina. “Now I have a clear direction and time-frame as to where I want my business to head. MentorNet not only showed me how to identify by business strengths and weaknesses, but also how to build on my strengths and improve my weaknesses.” In providing a clear structure for business operation, MentorNet gave Rina the freedom to operate her business according to the direction that she set for herself. The program also provided motivation by connecting Rina with the achievements and successes of other participants.
“I thought: If they can do it, so can I,” says Rina. “My mentor was also a wonderful motivator.” “My mentor gave us wonderful insights into marketing and advanced business concepts. He discussed various aspects of our businesses to trigger us to think more deeply,” Rina recalls fondly. “One profound statement from my mentor was: ‘We never have true competitors. Some customers will always be our customers.’ This statement helps me immensely in formulating my approach to service. It helps me to assure my clients that I will look after them and their interests. In turn, they will always be my clients.”
Rina was also impressed with the program’s cutting-edge interactive technology: “MentorNet provided state-of-the-art technology that allowed us to attend sessions from the comfort of our own homes and offices.”
“What I enjoy most is using my knowledge to help clients improve their lives through harmony and balance,” says Rina. “MentorNet helped me create my own balance and a better division of my time between family and work demands.”
