Has the Economy Changed the Way you do Business?

Even in a booming economy companies constantly assess how they are doing business or how they are bringing in business. However, with a difficult economy many companies are forced just to consider how to stay in business. From reduction in workforce to managing budgets things are definitely changing. One company may feel that getting rid of an IT department for a <a title=Learn More About Software as a Service at Zoot! Href=http://www.zootweb.com/additional_information/software_as_a_service.html>software as a service</a> plan is a good way to cut the bills. Another may find that increasing or changing its <a title=Learn More About Customer Acquisition at Zoot! Href=http://www.zootweb.com/additional_information/customer_acquisition.html>customer acquisition</a> techniques can make the difference. Each company has to take the time to evaluate itself and find a way to make a positive change.
There are some basic building blocks that are key when it comes to weathering an economic storm. This can be applied to any company in any industry. They are key concepts focusing on treatment of customers and how a product is delivered. Think to yourself how you are going to ask someone for their business.
Make sure you understand the motivation behind your client’s actions. Why are they choosing to do business with someone else? How can you meet their needs so that they want to do business with you? Can you help them get what they need if it isn’t your specific product or service? Ask the questions that will help you find those answers.
Build trust with your clients. If you don’t build that rapport and develop a relationship with someone then they are not going to do business with you. One time my husband and I walked into a furniture store. We were wearing our usual jeans attire that we wear on the weekend; nothing fancy but nothing grungy either. Apparently this was a higher end furniture store and when the sales associate walked up to help us she simply said something to the effect of “the lower priced furniture is over here.” She made the assumption that we had no money to spend and so we didn’t spend any there. We simply turned around and walked out. Don’t make assumptions about your clients. Ask questions about their budget and what their needs are instead of demeaning them with your own ideas. Don’t make up your mind about what they need.
Create a picture in your customers mind. Help them to envision using your product or service. If they can see themselves doing it then they are going to be much more likely to want to make it happen. If you can imagine yourself going on vacation to a warm climate, sitting by the beach in the sun and relaxing aren’t you much more likely to think about booking that plane ticket?
I think the answer is yes – the economy has changed the way everyone does business. It has changed the way I choose businesses to partner with and it has changed the way I view my money and how to spend it. Any business owner needs to see and know that and respond accordingly. Think about your own business tactics and see where you stand during this difficult time.

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (18)
This is the 18th article of the series:” The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran”.
The Bible says: I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one that was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
The Noble Quran says that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, was only a messenger sent to his people; and it is an unforgivable sin if you say or believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; this major sin will lead to the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter. Also the Quran says that the whole worlds, not only this world, are under the control of Allah.
——————————————————————–
The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (18)
The Bible (1 John 5:13-21) says:
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
——————————————–
1 John 5:13-21 in three different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
16If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.
17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.
19We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
21Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
American Standard Version
13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
16 If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
King James Version
13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
===============================
The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (18)
The Noble Quran makes the topic of the son(s) of God very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
In addition, The Quran makes the signs that Jesus was not god very understandable.
The Quran says: O mankind! The Messenger, Muhammad has now come to you with the truth from your Lord; and if you disbelieve in Allah, your disbelief will not harm Him
To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and such sovereignty is not compatible with the prophet-hood of Jesus. God suffices as a Guardian, a Witness to this.
The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.
It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.
Allah is exalted, magnified; He is above what they associate with Him of son or partners. Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!
In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.
- Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.
From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:
Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes up his faith and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
Any one who believes that the Almighty Creator has no son or partner, he has a good faith and is considered as a believer; and in the afterlife, he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.
Verses 4:170-171 of the Noble Quran make the topic of the son(s) of God plain, clear and understandable.
——————————————–
The meanings of verse 4:170
O mankind! The Messenger, Muhammad has now come to you with the truth from your Lord; with the declaration of Allah’s divine Oneness and the Quran from your Lord. Therefore believe) in Muhammad and the Quran so believe in him and seek what, it is better for you, than that which you are presently seeking.
And if you disbelieve, in Allah, Muhammad and the Quran, then surely to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and your disbelief will not harm Him; and Allah is ever Knowing of His creation; He is ever Knower of those who believe and those who do not. He is the Wise in what He does with them and in that He ordained that they should not worship other than Him.
The meanings of verse 4:171
O People of the Gospel, do not go to extremes, do not go beyond the bounds, do not exaggerate, do not be extreme in your religion and do not say about God except, the saying of, the truth, such as exalting Him above any associations with a partner or a son.
The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word (that is “Be”) which He conveyed unto Mary and through His word Jesus became a created being, (and a spirit from Him) and through His command, Jesus became a son without a father.
He [Jesus] is here attached to God, exalted be He, as an honoring for him, and not as you claim, that he is the son of God, or a god alongside Him, or one of three, because one that possesses a spirit is compound, while God transcends being compound and the attribution of compounds to Him.
- Refrain, from this and say what, it is better for you, to say, which the profession of Allah Oneness is.
Verily, God is but One God. Glory be to Him, transcending [the possibility], that He should have a son!
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and such sovereignty is not compatible with the prophet-hood of Jesus. God suffices as a Guardian, a Witness to this.
In other words, the verse says, Allah is only One God without a son or partner. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth are His servants. And Allah is sufficient as Defender, as Lord of all created beings and He is witness of what He says about Jesus.
——————————————-
Verses 4:170-171 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
Verse 4:170
QARIB: o people, the messenger (prophet Muhammad) has come to you with the truth from your lord, so believe, it is better for you. if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. and Allah is the knower, the wise.
SHAKIR: o people! surely the messenger has come to you with the truth from your lord, therefore believe, (it shall be) good for you and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens and the earth is Allah’s; and Allah is knowing, wise
PICKTHAL: o mankind! the messenger hath come unto you with the truth from your lord. therefor believe; (it is) better for you. but if ye disbelieve, still, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is ever knower, wise.
YUSUFALI: o mankind! the messenger hath come to you in truth from Allah: believe in him: it is best for you. but if ye reject faith, to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
Verse 4:171
QARIB: people of the book, do not exaggerate your religion. Do not say about Allah except the truth. Indeed, the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, is only a messenger (and prophet) of Allah, and his word (be) which he gave to Mary, and a (created) spirit by him. So believe in Allah and his messengers and do not say: ‘trinity. ‘Refrain, it is better for you. Allah is only one god. Exaltations to him that he should have son! To him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, it is sufficient that Allah is the guardian.
SHAKIR: o followers of the book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the messiah, Isa son of Marium is only a messenger of Allah and his word which he communicated to Marium and a spirit from him; believe therefore in Allah and his messengers, and say not, three. desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; far be it from his glory that he should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is his, and Allah is sufficient for a protector
PICKTHAL: o people of the scripture! do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and say not “three” - cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only one Allah. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender.
YUSUFALI: o people of the book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and his word, which he bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him: so believe in Allah and his messengers. Say not “trinity”: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: glory be to him: (far exalted is he) above having a son. to him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

NUMEROLOGY: How To Find Your True Love Using Numerology - Find Your True Love Using Their Life Path, Destiny, Soul Urge & Personality Numbers
August 29, 2009 by admin
Filed under Uncategorized
Here is the hot New Age way to find your true love - Numerology. Understanding the person you want to win and keep forever is essential.
It’s done by working out their Life Path, Destiny, Soul Urge and Personality by the science of Numerology.
I’ve been researching the psychic sciences for decades and, for me, Numerology is the one that still keeps showing amazing results.
It’s easy - and it works! Try it.
>>> Sometimes you are trying to get someone’s attention romantically - perhaps you have finally met someone single and very interesting - and other times you are trying to make a good impression on them so they will hire you for a job.
No matter what your reason for trying to make an impact on someone emotionally, Numerology can go a longway towards assisting you in figuring out what makes someone tick.
If you really want to get to know someone, calculate all of the numbers that create him or her as sentient human beings with their own desires and wishes.
>>> This includes the Life Path Number (the sum of the birth date reduced to one digit), the Destiny Number (the full name), Soul Urge (the vowels) and the Personality Number (the consonants.) Then consult with the interpretations below to find out how to get them to notice you.
How to Win The Love of A Number 1 Man or Woman…
Number 1 Life Path - Show your willingness to be a follower, not a leader. A gift of cash to a good cause in his or her name always impresses a number 1.
Number 1 Destiny -Indicate that you won’t mind giving up your life for this person’s. Show loyalty, volunteer to be this person’s personal assistant Make it clear you will never ask much for yourself. Never outshine this individual or they will consider you an enemy.
Number 1 Soul Urge - Make it clear to this person that you understand politics and special needs and that consorting with your enemies or infidelities does not bother you. Soul Urge 1’s should not be condemned for “doing what they have to do.”
Number 1 Personality - Give them a picture of him or herself that is flattering or any kind of award or recognition (faux or not) that recognizes them as number 1. The Personality 1 also appreciates cash, trips to a spa, makeovers and shopping sprees as gifts.
How To Win A 2…
Number 2 Life Path - Nothing makes this person happier than a marriage proposal and a wedding ring on the finger.
Number 2 Destiny- Second honeymoons, promises of love and romance and eternal fidelity please this type. In business, signing long leases or long contracts makes this type happy.
Number 2 Soul Urge - Teddy bears, pictures of you - anything that constantly reminds them that you are always there for them despite their enormous insecurity always pleases a 2.
Number 2 Personality - This type is very much gratified by a pregnancy as the child cements the reality of the relationship forthem. Kids are the glue that keep them together. They also appreciate any form of seduction - dinners out, long trips with just the two of you and sentimental objects and jewelry as gifts. Pulling on the heartstrings is the key to winning over the Number 2 personality.
How To Win A 3…
Number 3 Life Path - Give him or her a long rope and the freedom to talk to or even have an affair with whoever they want.
Number 3 Destiny - A musical instrument, trip to a spa, clothes or anything that improves their performance as entertainers matters to them the most. They also like toys.
Number 3 Soul Urge - This person is likely to be most impressed by an exotic vacation. Giving them a picture of themselves (a painted portrait for example) will impress them too. Showing them off in public is also appreciated.
Number 3 Personality - This person sees him or herself as being very unique and above the rules that normally apply to any of the other numbers. As they are so special, they appreciate gifts andideas that are one of a kind and actions that are not easily imitated.
How To Win A 4…
Number 4 Life Path - A life long promise to take care of this person in every way means the most to them. Individuals who are not critical of them or who will not blame them for their situation also impress them. Cash or a roof over their heads are the best gift.
Number 4 Destiny - An offer of unconditional love either in the form of marriage or life long friendship is often required. Financial help is always appreciated by a hard done by 4.
Number 4 Soul Urge - Any type of vacation or holiday or offer to clear up the number 4’s debts usually impresses them.
Number 4 Personality - Trips to spas, paying off bills and taking care of the basics that they can’t often impresses a 4. Paying a dental bill or back rent usually will win a 4’s heart.
How To Win A 5…
Number 5 Life Path - This person greatly appreciates a long vacation or exotic trip.
Number 5 Destiny - Gifts such as luggage, air miles points and paying for travel expenses impresses this individual the most.
Number 5 Soul Urge - This person will always be in love with the person that gives them the most freedom, both physically and emotionally.
Number 5 Personality - A 5 often can’t stick to anything for long - so you need to keep things exciting and constantly changing to hold their attention. They love going to the movies, collecting things and of course travel - these things are the key to their heart.
How To Win A 6…
Number 6 Life Path - A promise of marriage usually leads to sex. Old fashioned wining and dining appeals to them most. They like to be courted in traditional ways.
Number 6 Destiny - Give their parents a gift or paying respect to the person’s parents in some way (taking them to dinner) makes this number hold you in their highest esteem.
Number 6 Soul Urge - Offer to move in with the parents should you get married or move the parents or siblings in if necessary.
Number 6 Personality - This number is most impressed if you offer to work for the family business. They also appreciated gifts that are family oriented such as family portraits, kitchen renovations and swimming pools. Anything that will entertain an extended family makes them very happy.
How To Win A 7…
Number 7 Life Path - As they are very self-conscious, you are best to win a 7 by being as casual as possible so they don’t feel threatened. Physical intimacy needs to be approached very gentlyand in fact with many of them, it will not happen at all.
Number 7 Destiny - A donation to a great cause or work in progress greatly impresses a 7. They are often broke, even though they are geniuses, so cash also impresses them.
Number 7 Soul Urge - The perfect companion for a 7 will take care of them in every way - including doing the cooking, cleaning and being a personal assistant. This should be done without expectation of emotional rewards.
Number 7 Personality - The person appreciates the gift of trust, asmost of them are well aware that their emotional problems make it difficult for them to deal with.
How To Win A 8…
Number 8 Life Path - These individuals appreciate a formal, slightly distant companion who shows a lot of taste and class.
Number 8 Destiny - Letting this person show off by treating you well is often the key to their heart. They like to feel like the hero or rescuer in a person’s life.
Number 8 Soul Urge - The person may not be that interested in sex and more interested in cerebral and philanthropic matters. They are very impressed by donations in their name to charity.
Number 8 Personality - The person may not be that interested in material things as they can usually buy themselves anything they want. They like to be trusted and to be given a long rope in a relationship to do what they like and see whom they like. They are only really impressed by gifts that are really expensive and unique.
How To Win A 9…
Number 9 Life Path - This person appreciates spiritual principles and likes gifts that recognize that they are on a course of self-improvement - self help books, New Age items or religious items.
Number 9 Destiny - A sure way to impress the 9 Destiny number is to make a charitable donation in his or her name to a good cause.
Number 9 Soul Urge - These wounded healers are always looking for asoul mate - a promise that is kept means a lot to them.
Number 9 Personality - Things to keep them grounded and focused such as daytime organizers, shelves or paying for a maid are especially appreciated by this very disorganized and flaky number.
