Taking Care of Business-NOT!-and your Health

Hello All:

I am going to vent today!  I can't take it any more! People complain about their lack of income or customers, but refuse to operate with sound business principles.

I am sure you have experienced this as well.  I think "walls of shame" just may be a good idea.  Where businesses who won't take care of their customers/clients are listed. Do business with them at your own peril!

Thumbs down, boo-hiss to:

1. Richard C. who owned the iSoldit eBay store in San Clemente.  He went out of business, stole jewelry I gave him to sell-so I am sure he took other people's property as well.  The Orange County Sheriff they sent to my house (arrogant, rude, another boo-hiss) said that I couldn't prove they had my property and could not locate him based on the information I had.  I do not believe this for a second.

Lesson for me-take pictures of your property, take pictures of you with the owner, take pictures of the establishment, perhaps have your own signed contract.  Has anyone else been ripped off by this guy? Please contact me.

3. AT&T.  Returned a defective phone.  Nothing.  No new phone.  No correspondence.  No anything.  Because it is a small amount of money, I'm going to let this one go.

4. Clock repair person (who shall remain nameless).  Probably good at his job.  Paid him a substantial amount of money to put a new movement in my grandmother clock.  He was consistently late by 2-3 hours, one day did not show up at all,  did not call-2 days later I called him again.  Does not appear to have any business sense.  No apology, no follow-up or follow-through.

5. Shutter company in Southern California.  Purchased through Lowe's.  Lowe's gave great service and to their credit continued to follow-up with this company. I had to call 5-6 times to have my shutters installed and repaired.  Hello!  I was a paid customer referred by Lowe's.  Person they sent changed every time, all made promises that were never kept. How do they stay in business?

6.  Handyman (think surfer dude).  Came highly recommended.  Showed up 1-2 hours late.  Wet hair. Had to go surfing. Then had to go for a bike ride.  Fired him on day 2.

7. Landscaper (think dude).  Came highly recommended.  Took him 4 weeks to do a simple tree trimming job. Had birthday party to go to.  Had to take kids shopping.  Need I say more?

8. Picture this.  Me driving on 405 North in Irvine.  Rush hour.  Minding my own business.  Rear-ended. Thank you God-no apparent damage to my car.  Person #2 behind me stopped (thank you Melissa), person #3 behind her stopped (thank you Sebastian), person #4 behind him did not stop, and person #5 who caused the accident for the rest of us, drove off.
Was person #5 illegally uninsured, illegally in the US, illegally talking on the cell phone, doesn't care, or a combination?

Why am I talking about these things today?  Because how you run your life, how you take care of business affects your income and your health.  When a company or business owner is out of integrity, it is going to manifest consequences spiritually plus either emotionally, mentally or physically or all three.

Do the right thing.  It does matter.  Your health may depend on it.

Until next time...Health-Full Blessings....Dr. Miluna
