Prosperity - In 2010 - Fire Elements and Art of War

Before waging a war, the Five Elements that govern success within you must be examined: Wood (your Pioneer spirit), Fire (The Wizard within), Earth (your Peacemaker), Metal (the Warrior within) and Water (the philosopher within). Only then can a proper assessment be done in relationship to yourself, others and a strategy put in place

According to Chinese Taoist philosophy and The Art of War business is war! The goal is to be in the Tao, (meaning virtue, ethics and integrity) and to "Win, Before You Fight". Art of War was written by Sun Tzu in the mist of a 500 year civil war. That quote means, in relationship to business we must know every part of the business:  the plan, the mission, goals, objectives and strategies. For victory all strategies, systems, marketing, training and contingencies must be in place before we begin.

Preparation for any battle in business includes anticipating everything that could possibly happen after the launch (initial attack). We must know and have the ability to alter the course once we are out of the gate (the battle is under way). We must remain flexible and be able to change once we start (the fighting begins). How? We tap into the Power within. We must "Know Thyself".

According to Sun Tzu, as illustrated by Chu, we must consider Ji (The Five Elements or Strategy): 1) Tao (The Way, moral values or ethics), 2) Tien (timing), 3) Di (resources or terrain), Jiang (leadership) and Fa (method). We will encounter things that we didn't plan for. Things will occur including unexpected frictions within the ranks. Resolve before there is destruction from within.

How? Know what you can control and what you can not! Everything around you will change, what remains the same is You! Your inner truth, inner force, your integrity, vision, your will and resolve will lead you to victory, if you are guided by your spirit or Light within. Victory is a state of mind, body, soul and emotions.

Whatever your venture is the soul knows, guided by your spirit or Light – your true self. Listen to the whisper and you will know when to go forward and when not!  You will know when to forge ahead, when to retreat and when to move on.

Those who carefully calculate their strategies will be led to victory.
Those who carelessly calculate their strategies will be led to defeat.
