walthymatters The gold fish is associated with abundance and wealth in feng shui.This is because not only do they multiply fast but the Chinese word for fish (yu) is pronounced the same way as abundance!Also the gold colour of the goldfish brings the desired association with gold and their gracious movements creates good energy in the place where the aquarium is placed.

The typical number of gold fish in a feng shui aquarium is 9 (8 brightly coloured gold fish and 1 black gold fish). The black fish is there to neutralize bad luck.The combination of eight red and one black fish symbolizes prosperity, energy and good fortune. The black goldfish is believed to be a symbol of protection. If the black fish dies without any known cause, such as under-oxygenated water, overfeeding or lack of food, it is believed that the fish died from absorbing bad luck that was meant for you. In fact, many people believe that if any fish in the tank dies without a justifiable cause, then its sacrifice was to spare you the bad luck that was headed your way.

The southeast section of your office or home is believed to be the best location for a fish tank to activate wealth and prosperity.

wealthymatters Ready to take your selling beyond eBay? Millions of entrepreneurs have already created their own e-commerce sites, and you can too. Here are seven steps to get you started.

1: Choose A Host

Deciding on a web host will depend on your budget, bandwidth requirements and technical know-how. Some sites, like 1 Shopping Cart, will hold your hand through the building process until you’ve created an online shopfront that makes you proud. Others may only provide the space and leave you to it.

2: Decide On A Domain Name

What will your store be called? There are many tricks to picking a name that “pops,” but remember that it needs to make a good URL as well. The name buyshirtsUSAxx3.com just isn’t as memorable as cordeliascloset.com.

3: Hire A Web Designer

Even if your host provides templates of their own, you’ll probably want to invest in a web designer for maximum creativity and browsing efficiency. Unfair or not, how your website looks is often more important than what it actually sells. Don’t scare away potential customers with a bad layout. Read more of this post

Indian Billionaire Stats

May 19, 2014 Leave a comment

wealthymatters There were only two billionaires with a combined wealth of $3.2bn in India in the mid-1990s.By 2012, there were 46 of them living in India with a net worth of $176.3bn.

The ratio of total wealth of the billionaires to gross domestic product (GDP) rose from around 1% in the mid-1990s to 22% at the peak of the stock market boom in 2008, before dropping to 10% of GDP this year.

Though 21 Indian billionaires are “self-made”, 40% of India’s total billionaire wealth is owned by the “inherited and growing” category of businessmen.

28 of the 46 billionaires come from traditional merchant classes (Banias, Parsis and Sindhis, for example), and a number of them belong to upper caste communities like Brahmins and Khatris. A smaller number belong to the lower castes. There is one Muslim billionaire and no Dalit billionaires.

A total of 43% of the billionaires, accounting for 60% of billionaire wealth, had their primary – and original – sources of wealth from industries like property development, infrastructure, construction, mining, telecoms, cement and media.That is,impressive wealth creation has occurred in sectors with substantial potential for rent-extraction and rent-sharing between private and government players.Business and the state have tight links in India.In the last two to three decades this has bred both impressive business dynamism and even more impressive accumulation of extreme wealth in India.
