How to Use Numerology in Your Business

In todays competitive and challenging business environment, organizations need to
take advantage of every possible opportunity to achieve success. Numerology can
help you select a business name that lends power, creativity, or service to your
company. You can also use numerology to name products and services that your
company offers. Heres how.
Naming Your Business, Products, and Services
Marketing experts agree that the best names are short, distinctive, and descriptive of
your products or service. Its also important to choose a name thats easy to
remember, spell, and pronounce.
But beyond choosing a catchy name, the numerological interpretation of a business
name can influence the company in either a positive or negative way. The Destiny
Number (calculated from all the numeric values of the letters in the business name)
indicates the talents and aptitudes of the company. It also suggests the future of the
company and how it will use its innate talents to achieve success.
While choosing the perfect name for your business cant predict success or failure, the
right Business Name Number can provide a strong foundation for its future. A
carefully selected name can ensure that your venture is properly positioned to meet
and even exceed its goals. Like choosing the right name for a business can drive its
success, selecting an appropriate name for a product or service can set the foundation
for victory or failure.
While we dont know for sure if Apple used numerology to choose the name iPod
for its revolutionary MP3 player, its interesting to know that the product name adds
to a Destiny Number 8, indicating money, power, and success. While there are no
good or bad numbers when naming a business, some numbers are better than
others for certain types of ventures.
Calculating the Destiny Number
When interpreting the numbers of a business, product, or service, use the Destiny
Number (sometimes called the Name Number), which is derived by adding the
numeric values of the letters in a name. It indicates a business talents, aptitudes, and
ultimate destiny for success.
To get the most accurate interpretation of your Destiny Number, you need to use the
name exactly as it appears on the articles of incorporation, business license, or
whatever official document recognizes your business. Numerology experts agree that
using your business name without Co., Inc., LLC, or any additional designations
provides the most accurate interpretation of your Destiny Number.
In numerology, each letter of the alphabet is assigned a numeric value from 1 to 9. We
use the Pythagorean Letter-to-Number chart to help find the numeric value for each
letter of the alphabet.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

Use the following steps to find the Destiny Number for your business.
1. Print the letters of the business name, leaving a bit of space between each
letter. Also, leave plenty of space underneath for your calculations.
2. Below each letter, write the numeric value of that letter (refer to the
Pythagorean Letter-to-Number Table below). Remember that Co., Corp., Inc.
and other generic terms are not included in this calculation. If there is a number
in the name, such as 3M, repeat the number beneath where it appears in the
business name.
3. Finally, to get the Destiny Number, add all of the numeric values together. If the
sum is two or more digits, add those digits and reduce the answer to a single
digit.
Heres an example for General Motors.
G E N E R A L M O T O R S
7 5 5 5 9 1 3 4 6 2 6 9 1
7+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 9+ 1+ 3+ 4+ 6+ 2+ 6+ 9+ 1 = 63
(6+3) = 9
If your company or product name includes any punctuation such as an ampersand,
hyphen, or period, it does not carry a numerical value and therefore does not affect
the calculations.
