Here’s the what and why of making your business better with BaZi, a branch of Chinese Metaphysics:

• Celebrate National Entrepreneurs’ Day by using your personal BaZi chart to optimise the most important part of your business: you! 
• Your BaZi chart shows you how and when to align your ideas with energies to create success on your own terms. 
• Chinese Metaphysics is not a replacement for strategy, but a way to make strategy that aligns with your path.
• By understanding why you behave the way you do in different situations, what to do about it – and how – business becomes smoother, more profitable, and more aligned with who you are.

Every successful business begins with a bold idea and the courage to strike while the iron is hot.

Not sure where or when to execute the plan? National Entrepreneurs’ Day falls on the third Tuesday of November in the US but business is borderless so just do it already.

And it’s the perfect time to learn how BaZi can help you identify your tendencies, and how they influence your approach to money and opportunity. 

What’s BaZi? 

It’s the Chinese classical art and science of the relationship between character and destiny. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, character is destiny, you’ve come to the right place.

Literally, BaZi means eight characters. These are organised as Four Pillars that represent your Year, Month, Day and Hour of birth. 

The Day Pillar is you, and you’re part of a cycle of Five Elements comprising Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood and their distinctive qualities.

Let’s break it down with a few business-related questions.

Q: As an entrepreneur, how do I know if my ideas will fly with investors? 

A: Money isn’t just a number. Your ability to make and manage it, such as in raising capital, is viewed qualitatively in a BaZi chart. Different types of ability show in your mode of thinking and action. These can be seen from your chart’s elemental balance and flow, in a cycle. 

Money and investors are assigned to their respective elements in your chart, and then considered in relation to your personal element. From there, an elegant and sophisticated level of analysis is possible.

A simple example could be that your BaZi chart shows you’re a strong “Wood energy” person, someone who values growth and creativity, yet you don’t seem able to make money or come up with compelling ideas to catch investor attention. 

One recommendation could be to use Fire energy, which is produced by Wood. This means taking decisive action to ‘ignite’ your output and visibility in the market.

Q: How exactly can I improve my finances?

A: You could use your BaZi chart to identify the elements that are lacking or excessive, as this has implications on whether the elements are flowing smoothly in your chart, or if they are constricted or otherwise imbalanced in their relationship to one another. 

For example, If your chart is strong in Earth energy and you’re having it tough with planning strategically because of unforeseen or unforeseeable expenses, then using the structure and organisational qualities of Metal energy can be useful for fiscal discipline.

Q:  How can the BaZi chart help me spot and seize business opportunities? 

A: Your Bazi chart can identify auspicious periods when your career energy or wealth energy align, when opportunities open up for you. 

By noticing these timings, you can coincide your business plans with these periods, whether to launch new products or sign deals. 

It can result in smoother execution because you’re at your best. There is also a higher probability of success because you get the resources or help you need without much effort.
