Some of us have small businesses and cannot yet afford to go to the expense of purchasing and learning a program like QuickBooks. Especially if our background is in something non-financial (like the products or services we offer). In these cases we can use a spreadsheet to track our business. As with everything in life we have to consider what information we need and in general we want to keep these things as simple as possible. So in this weeks web cast we are going to look at tracking sales. In the next few weeks we will be building on this theme in short 10 minute web casts (so they can fit on YouTube . www.youtube.com/nerdenterprises for all of our tutorials on both QuickBooks and Excel.

The simple answer on sales is setting up a template that provides a foundation that fosters consistency and simplicity. All too often we get caught up in the details and wind up creating something too complicated to maintain. The phrase keep it simple REALLY applies here. Then you can expand on it as you go thats the beauty of doing things in excel you are the developer so you create the things you need as you need them and you dont need to wait for the next release!

Sometimes we like to make things more complicated to impress people and then it costs us. Thats right our vanity based on the desire to impress people with our excel skills will cost us dearly in the end. Much more impressive is to show people something that was so well thought out that it was kept simple enough for anyone to use!

In this web cast I go over how to set up a simple template to track sales for your business. Next week we will look at how to track the expenses.

This question came in from my new friend Julio Rios. He has a great product and plans to put more out there. Visit his website at www.qintexsolutions.com (make sure pop-ups are enabled).

Question: "What is the "church of Oprah"?

Is Eckhart Tolle’s "New Earth" compatible with Christianity?"

Answer: Oprah Winfrey is arguably one of the most influential
women in the world. With a daily viewership that has peaked at
around 10 million, the Oprah Winfrey Show definitely has the
potential to impact the lives of many people. The Oprah Winfrey
Show definitely promotes much that is good. However, there is
another side of Oprah that has only recently become an integral
part of her show—and that is her rejection of biblical
Christianity. Oprah has made statements on her show in the past
that have given a small glimpse into her personal spiritual
beliefs, speaking mostly about her belief that there are many
ways, millions even, for a person to "get to what some call God."

This more recent exposure of her beliefs revolves around the book
"A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, which she helped to make a best-
seller by promoting it on Oprah’s Book Club and on her website.
Beyond simply promoting the book, Oprah has partnered with Tolle
in presenting weekly online webcast classes in order to explore
the ideas and principles expressed in "A New Earth."

Some have gone as far as labeling Oprah a cult leader—and with
good reason. She is a figurehead for the promotion and propagation
of anti-biblical beliefs which deny every foundational truth of
historical Christianity. Her webcasts have attracted hundreds of
thousands of participants with the promise of gaining new
perspectives on how to live a life of enrichment, peace, newfound
self-worth, and spiritual freedom.

Eckhart Tolle, a well-known New Age author and speaker, promotes
nothing short of personal divinity in his teachings. In an attempt
to deceive people into thinking that his religion is compatible
with Christianity, Tolle occasionally quotes from the Bible and
refers to biblical principles. The problem is that Eckhart Tolle’s
book, "A New Earth," is in complete opposition to biblical
Christianity from cover to cover. Nearly every reference to, or
quote of, Scripture, is twisted by Tolle’s consistent
misinterpretation and misunderstanding.

Consider what can be found in just the pages of the first chapter:
evolution of life over millions of years is accepted, assumed, and
understood to be fact; Jesus is misquoted; flowers, crystals,
precious stones, and birds are believed to be temporary
manifestations of the Universal Consciousness and are themselves
considered enlightened life-forms; the definition of sin is
misinterpreted; Jesus Christ is thought of as just one of those
rare people who, like the Buddha, achieved divine consciousness;
other religions, such as Buddhism, are considered just as valid
and true as Christianity; an early Christian cult, Gnosticism, is
portrayed as one of the few groups who actually understood the
teachings of Jesus; original sin was simply a forgetting of the
connectedness and oneness with the Source, along with everything
else connected with the Source—a delusion of separateness; heaven
is portrayed as merely an "inner realm of consciousness."

These beliefs, these teachings, are found in just the first
chapter. Obviously, and without a doubt, Eckhart Tolle is
promoting a new religion, one which combines the most mystical
aspects of every major religion. The first chapter, of course,
sets up the tone and direction for the rest of the book. This
direction happens to be as far from biblical truth as is possible.
If you are concerned at all with whether or not this book is
compatible with the Christian faith, you need not read any further
than the first chapter to understand what Tolle believes and what
Oprah is encouraging others to believe.

Tolle ends the book writing about the new Heaven and new Earth
spoken of in Revelation 21. He states near the end of chapter ten:

"The only existence the future actually has is as a thought form
in your mind, so when you look to the future for salvation, you
are unconsciously looking to your own mind for salvation. You are
trapped in form, and that is ego. ‘And I saw a new heaven and a
new earth,’ writes the biblical prophet. [T]he foundation for a
new earth is a new heaven – the awakened consciousness. The earth -
external reality – is only its outer reflection. The arising of a
new heaven and by implication a new earth are not future events
that are going to make us free. Nothing is going to make us free
because only the present moment can make us free. That realization
is the awakening. Awakening as a future event has no meaning
because awakening is the realization of Presence. So the new
heaven, the awakened consciousness, is not a future state to be
achieved. A new heaven and a new earth are arising within you at
this moment, and if they are not arising at this moment, they
are no more than a thought in your head and therefore not arising
at all. What did Jesus tell his disciples? ‘Heaven is right here
in the midst of you.’"

In line and in continued progression with chapter one, chapter ten
places the final stamp of approval on a belief system completely
void of biblical truth. Salvation is presented as a state of being
achieved through one’s own power; heaven is referred to as simply
a state of consciousness; and Jesus Christ is relegated to a
spiritual master who taught that one only need look within oneself
to find spiritual release. Scripture is used only out of context
and presented as obscurely as possible.

There is no room for Jesus Christ the Messiah, the God-Man, nor
His teachings in Oprah’s and Tolle’s belief system. In fact, they
propose that all people free their minds from such beliefs. Truly,
deception is the only true thing that Eckhart Tolle and Oprah
Winfrey offer. They, and those that follow their teachings, have
fallen for Satan’s original lie, “you will be like God” (Genesis 3:5).

Oprah is saying that there are many ways to God. But Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Where is the Father? He is in Heaven. And the only way to the Father in Heaven is through Jesus Christ. How can we be one if there are many ways? There will be chaos. Now, some religions are killing other people thinking that they are doing it in their service to God. But is that the true God?

In John 17:21, Jesus prayed that we may be one, just like the Father and He are one. The verse states: “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me.”

How can we know the true God? Very plain and simple. And logical too. We know that the true God must be almighty, omnipotent. Now, if the true God gives prophecies, He will make them happen because of His almightiness. The true God is also able to know what is to come. Therefore, the only thing that differentiates the true God from the false gods is prophecy. The true God can prophesy and make them happen. He knows the future. The false gods cannot prophesy and do not know what will happen in the future. Among the ways that Oprah preaches, has any of these ways tell us what is to come? Does Oprah know where World War III will start? This will start soon. And it will be dark all over the world for one year!

Please remember the above way of knowing whether the god we worship is the true God or not. It is only through prophecies.
