There are many different factors that could attribute to business
difficulties. There is the mundane such as marketing, lead generation,
customer service, economy, client retention, referrals, etc. Then there
is the transcendental or energetic side.
Without seeing the place or having a better understanding of the
situation, it is difficult to make a proper assement and provide the
best remedy or suggestions.
I find that when I work with many businesses that are declining or
stuck, they they do not have any life energy in the space. I would
consider introducing plants, flowers and the potential of water
features.
I once consulted for a business where the CEO had a dead plant in the
wealth corner of his office along with a a variety of other things. Now they
have a plant service and business is booming. Not to say that removing
the dead plant and adding a plant service caused the turn around but if
you ask the CEO, there is no way that he will go back to the old way.

It really depends on a variety of factors including the location of the desk in regards to the overall floor plan, the specific office you are in and how the chi or energy circulates within the entire space.
One of the most important factors to consider is the position of the desk. You want to be sitting in a position that allows you to have a view of the room and door without being in direct line of the door. See also how you can apply the
command position for a bed.
Avoid being in direct line with the door or main walkway. Being in direct line of the door or walkway can cause difficulty with your job and has the potential to decrease your income because you may quit or be let go.
If you have your back to the door, try to get out of the line of the chi or incoming energy. If you are facing a wall, place a mirror on the wall, on your desk or on the monitor so that you'll be able to see behind you. This puts you in a command position so that you won't be stabbed in the back by co-workers and you can see what is coming at you in your business.
You want to have the ability to walk around both sides of the desk. When one side is blocked or pushed up against a wall, this can have an impact on your income or relationships with co-workers, customers and prospects.
Depending on the role you have in the company can determine placement of where a person should sit in the floor plan of the office.
When sitting in the new location, how do you feel? Do you feel comfortable or is there shelving with heavy books and items above you creating a downward pressure? This can lead to anxiety, headaches and overall frustration.
If you have a door to your personal office, make sure that it opens a full 90 degrees and nothing is blocking a person from walking into the space. This is about welcoming the wealth energies and allowing you to take advantage of new opportunities.
You will also want to review under your desk to make sure that you have nothing blocking your feet or leg room as this can lead to a feeling of being stuck in your job or career.
Consider adding life energy to your desk area such as
bamboo or a
money tree plant. This can improve relationships in the office and among co-workers.
What do you have sitting under your desk? Are you sitting in a command position?
