No this is not a paid ad, I just like people to be informed. I’ve gotten several calls from The March Group, who I take to be a business broker, wanting to sell my business for me. They invite me to come to a day long seminar where they will help me determine the value of my business, because they have many people interested in acquiring businesses such as mine, and it is very much in demand. Which is fine except I’m not interested in selling. Plus, these free regional magazines are not money makers by any means. Not at these prices. Selling franchises and selling magazines is what makes money. I found when Goggling The March Group that they routinely flood the search engines with their spin, so that was my second red flag*. So I posted on Facebook to ask if anyone had experience with them. I found this online. One friend wrote to check at the website Ripoff Report: By Consumers, For Consumers.
I didn’t even think about that – but what a great service. The Newest Rip Off Reports – Top Rip Offs To Avoid – Top Rip Off Links. Ripoff Report® is a worldwide consumer reporting Web site and publication, by consumers, for consumers, to file and document complaints about companies or individuals. Unlike the Better Business Bureau, Ripoff Report does not hide reports of “satisfied” complaints. ALL complaints remain public and unedited in order to create a working history on the company or individual in question. Ripoff Reports cover every category imaginable! You can Browse the latest Reports, Search the Reports, or Submit your report now for FREE, by clicking on File Report. View over 1,000 different topics & categories you can file under.
They even have a category for psychics and fortunetellers.
So while my spidey sense just tells me to not get involved with The March Group, I know that not everyone listens to their own spidey sense. That is why I am posting this here.
And, if you find that you are getting ripped off over and over – in any area of your life – you might want to ask yourself are you attracting that? Because, remember, whatever is showing up in your life is merely there because you are in vibrational harmony with it right now. If it’s fun, yay, enjoy it. If it’s not fun, don’t try to drive yourself crazy figuring out what it is, just begin doing things differently. Get out of that vibe.
I wrote in The Games People Play about how we get wrapped up in vibrational resonance with things we don’t want, and how to get out of them.
So, if you’re contemplating business with someone, look them up. But know that someone else’s experience does not have to be your experience. What someone else attracts does not have to be what you attract. And also not everything everyone writes is the truth.
Gather as much info as you think you need to make your decision, then take that into meditation with you. Sit with it – not mentally running it through your mind – just sitting with it, and see what bubbles up for you.
*Oh, what was my first red flag? When the agent called me on the phone the first time and I got a clear psychic sense this was a boiler room call. I’ve learned to pay attention to my first impressions.
In case the FTC is wondering, I am not endorsing anyone.
