1st Level – Feng Shui Student
Your career starts with laying a foundation to build on.
You must start by learning the basics of
Feng Shui through our school at Sacred Mountain Feng Shui and to always remember, utilize, and build your
knowledge, and yourself, upon this foundation.
To move forward into a career, you must take all four parts
of the Beginners Feng Shui Series or both parts of the Intensive
Beginners Feng Shui Series. With this foundation, you go on
to the second requirement by taking all parts of the Intermediate
Feng Shui Series or the Intensive Intermediate Feng Shui Class.
Cost of these classes depends on where they are held (see
below for contact information).
I also offer the Advanced Feng Shui Series, but it is not
necessary to take these classes to apply for your next step
in a career.
2nd Level – Apprenticeship in
Feng Shui
Your next step is to apply for an apprenticeship
through Sacred Mountain Feng Shui. The cost is $1200, which
can be paid monthly at $100 per month. The apprentice fee
includes the fee for Feng Shui Apprentice and Feng
Shui Consultant. It also reimburses us for training, record
keeping, etc. The apprentice must show devotion to learning
by completing the required readings and attending a monthly “Sharing
Circle” (not required if you live outside of our area) where
we discuss ideas, consultations, research, and the changes
Feng Shui has made in our lives and in the lives of others.
You immediately start “in the field” training by accompanying
a Feng Shui Consultant, Consultant and Teacher, or Master
on at least five consultations. On these consultations,
you will make a list of recommendations for the Feng Shui
client as if you had been there on your own. You then meet
with or, depending on where you live, phone or email your mentor to compare what you recommended for the home/office
consultation with his/her recommendations. This greatly
increases your self confidence in your abilities enough
that you will begin to set up Feng Shui consultation appointments
with friends, family, neighbors, and/or co-workers on your
own. Upon your completion of your recommendations, you meet or discuss
with your mentor before you see your client to be graded on
your recommendations. You can not charge a fee to your Feng
Shui clients for these consultations. However, you can accept
donations (by giving the client a red envelope to give you
a blessing for your efforts) and you can sell your clients
the Feng Shui supplies they need to complete their consultation
at retail price, which you bought at distribution price, anywhere between 20% to 50% off retail.
Most of our apprentices have earned between $4,000 - $8,000
their first year through donations and providing supplies.
This more than offsets the cost of the apprenticeship. An apprentice, and all levels above apprentice, also receives a 10% discount on any class offered by Sacred Mountain Feng Shui.
When you have completed at least 20 homes or offices with
no errors on the last three consultations in a row, you will
graduate to your first level in a rewarding career helping
others realize their dreams.
3rd Level – Feng Shui Consultant
Once you reach Certified
Feng Shui Consultant, you hone your skills by completing more
required reading, attending (unless you live outside the area) the monthly “Sharing Circle,”
and completing as many actual, and hypothetical, consultations
as possible. At this level, there are also required CE (Continuing
Education) credits, which must be completed within a one-year
period, offered through Sacred Mountain Feng Shui.
You can now accept a monetary energy exchange – generally
a flat hourly charge. We do, however, ask that you do not
charge more or less than other Consultants, Consultant and
Teachers, or Masters from our school who are in your general
area. We want everyone to grow and prosper but not by undercutting
your peers or overcharging the public. As in Feng Shui, we
need to maintain a balance.
Your income at this level depends on how much you wish to
do but we have never known of a consultant who has not earned
$25,000 per year. The national average is approximately $80,000
per year.
Once you have completed 50 or more homes and/or businesses,
you can apply for graduation to the next level in your career.
4th Level – Feng Shui Consultant and Teacher
Now that you have reached this new
pinnacle, you can now not only do consultations, you may
also teach classes in the Art and Science of Feng Shui.
You now have experienced enough situations in performing
Feng Shui consultations to relate to others the experiences you have
gained on all levels.
The cost for this level is $600 total,
which can be paid incrementally at $50 per month. Again,
we ask that you do not charge more or less for classes than
your peers from our school.
There will be a higher level of required readings. CE’s and
“Sharing Circles,” if you live in the area, are always required
to “keep your edge.”
At this level, we may also ask you
to work with us as much as possible at Sacred Mountain
Feng Shui, Inc. For example, you may be asked to help by
taking apprentices with you to some of your Feng Shui appointments.
You will, of course, receive a payment for helping to teach
another aspiring Consultant.
Those reaching this level, gaining the additional income from
teaching, average $80,000 per year. Again, the potential is
only limited by your own mind.
When you have completed 100 or more consultations on homes
or businesses, helped to promote our school and the Art and
Science of Feng Shui, and can produce a number of testimonials
from Feng Shui Clients and students you have personally taught,
you can now apply for the highest level to enhance your career.
5th Level – Feng Shui Master
At this level, you can do consultations,
teach classes, and take on your own apprentices. The cost
for this level is $600 which can be paid incrementally
at $50 a month. Again, continued study, CE’s
and “Sharing
Circles,” if you live in the area, are
required.
We also require that you have your apprentices
maintain contact with us. When you graduate your apprentice
to consultant, we are signing their certificate (along
with you) in acknowledgement of the person and their accomplishments
in the Art and Science of Feng Shui.
With devotion, time, networking, and basic business skills,
a six-figure income is the average for a Feng Shui Master,
but the true benefits are how far you have gone in your own
development and in the development of everyone whose life
you have touched with your wisdom.
