Would you believe that you can position your office and office furniture in a way that positively affects your success and efficiency? Check out these Feng Shui tips for positioning your office for success!
The best position for your home office is facing south - this governs your fame area. Or, you could position your home study facing northeast - this governs your education and knowledge area. If these positions aren’t possible, try placing your desk in a south or northeast corner.
The best position for your desk is in the corner that is diagonally opposite the office door. You want to be able to see the doorway and who is coming into the room. If you sit with your back to the door you’ll always feel threatened. Of course, in my home office my desk is diagonally opposite the office door, but my back is to the door. The way I solved this problem was to position a mirror at my desk so I can see the doorway behind me -- now my husband can’t sneak up on me anymore ;-)
Have a wall behind your chair, rather than a window, for symbolic support. If you have no choice, keep the blind down. Don’t sit too close to the door, because it will make you feel unprotected and as if you’re losing control.
There are a few other things that will help to position your home office for success. Clear the effects of electromagnetic stress from your computer by taking frequent breaks. Plus you can place a clear quartz or rose quartz crystal next to it to absorb negative emissions. Peace lilies and a cactus called Cirrus peruvianus will also absorb emissions.

A leading furniture manufacturing firm has hailed Access Accounts for having ‘the strongest credit management system available’.
Pars Office Systems Ltd designs and manufactures prestige office furniture systems. It develops everything from futuristic workstation solutions to executive offices and corporate reception areas. One of its key customers is the Royal Mail who has awarded Pars the Gold First Class Supplier Award for three years consecutively
Jackie Dunkley, Management Accountant, looked to replace their ageing accounts system, placing credit control as a great priority. “We decided on Access Accounts because it had the strongest credit management system we could find,” she said. “The Chase Debtors facility allows you to build a telephone list of overdue accounts on screen and as you select each customer in the list the system shows you their phone number and contact name. While you are on the phone you can see what they said to you last time and reprint their statement or an outstanding invoice and then make a note of what they promise to do.”
Access MD Alistair O'Reilly said, " With our credit management everything is contained in one place - enabling you to forecast cash flow and chase debts without launching separate applications or switching between different screens. Credit Control is just one of 30 web-enabled Access Accounts modules. Every single module is designed to give you accounting the way you need it - functional technology, seamless integration, complete ease of use and full support."

Walpole, MA -- January 26, 2003 – Before you spend your hard-earned dollars on inferior furniture, find out the real facts of what goes into quality wood furniture. Ed McDonough, owner of Boston Accent Furniture, reveals all the secrets in his new book, “7 Steps to Buying Wood Furniture You’ll Love.”
Between the covers, McDonough states “The educated consumer is the person that always gets the greatest value for their dollar!” The book’s seven-step process educates the reader on the different types of furniture, the materials used to make it, the manufacturing techniques and how to spot the good from the bad. The goal is to instruct the reader how to determine the quality of furniture they want to purchase, by teaching them how it’s made, and then how to get it at a fair price.
The book also details the difference between standard production furniture and high quality handcrafted custom furniture. It exposes how quality goes down in production furniture as the speed to produce it increases. It arms the reader up front with all the knowledge they need to make the right decision.
As a bonus, McDonough has developed a simple process to guide the reader through determining what style of furniture will best fit their home and lifestyle. Here both functionality and décor come into play. The lesson concludes with a simple exercise that determines the “Buyer’s Index”, directing the reader to the appropriate furniture market to shop.
To close out the reading, Step 7 – Understand How Furniture Stores Sell, enlightens the reader on the techniques retailers use to “sell you” and why. It discusses how furniture prices are determined and how major furniture manufacturers impose a Minimum Advertised Price directly to the retailer, which causes the consumer’s price to go up!
Included in the back of the book is the Furniture Buyer’s Checklist to keep the reader on track when making their purchasing decision. This, along with over 25 secrets shared by the author, will lead to many successful purchases of quality wooden furniture.
For details on obtaining the book, please contact Boston Accent Furniture directly at 508-668-9564 or by e-mail at info@bostonaccentfurniture.com.
