Regla #1: No intentes darle sentido a la locura o te volverás loco. La Regla #2 es una metáfora: Debes aceptar que la persona de la que estabas enamorado está muerta y se ha ido para siempre. (Si aceptas la regla 2, dejarás de romper la regla #1) Este grupo de Meetup fue creado para apoyar a cualquier persona que esté pasando por el final de una relación romántica, una separación o un divorcio. A estas alturas, dependiendo de a quién hayas recurrido en busca de consuelo, probablemente hayas descubierto que la mayoría de amigos y familiares carecen de la empatía que necesitas—o peor aún, ofrecen sugerencias críticas sobre cómo “deberías” estar manejando tu situación. Este grupo es tu lugar seguro. Es un espacio para compartir, procesar y aprender—libre de vergüenza y lleno de apoyo real. Es un lugar para evitar más abuso y navegar el desamor con compasión. También estamos conectados a una enorme comunidad en línea de apoyo para el divorcio, a la cual presentamos a nuestros miembros en cada reunión. Hay muchísimos recursos gratuitos: sitios web, libros, videos y herramientas para ayudarte a sanar. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier otra razón, también eres bienvenido aquí. Qué esperar: Apoyo real – darte cuenta de que no estás solo en esto Sanación del abuso narcisista Sanación de un corazón roto Buenos momentos con gente increíble Consejos de otros que han pasado por lo mismo Recursos – referencias a abogados, terapeutas, mudanceros, agentes inmobiliarios, investigadores privados—prácticamente cualquier cosa que puedas necesitar Amistad y conversación entre todas las edades No hay ningún costo para asistir a los eventos de Meetup. Puedes unirte en cualquier momento y quedarte todo el tiempo que necesites. No estamos afiliados a ninguna organización religiosa o política, y todas las creencias y orígenes son bienvenidos. Tampoco tienes que hablar—puedes simplemente escuchar hasta que estés listo. Algo que escuchamos a menudo es: “No estoy seguro de si estoy en el grupo correcto.” Si te estás haciendo esa pregunta… Estás en el grupo correcto. �� Gracias por unirte a nosotros. Estamos comprometidos a acompañarte durante esta etapa difícil. Por favor ten en cuenta: Este no es un grupo de terapia certificado. No soy consejero matrimonial con licencia, psicólogo, psiquiatra ni trabajador social—ni tampoco lo son los otros facilitadores. Sin embargo, podemos referirte a profesionales con licencia si sientes que es algo que necesitas.

At this meetup, we are going to break down how to reverse engineer direct-to-seller marketing using our SCALE framework so you can approach your marketing with more clarity, confidence, and consistency. We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward. **SCALE Framework:** **S –** Select the right channel **C –** Calculate the numbers **A –** Allocate the budget **L –** Launch the campaign **E –** Evaluate and track it **What We’ll Cover** * How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing * How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing * The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels * How to choose the right channel for your business and market * How to calculate the numbers before launching * How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion * How to launch and track a campaign the right way * How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow **Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday) **Time:** 6 - 8pm EST **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company, 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Save Your Seat** → https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp **FREE DRINKS & FOOD PROVIDED!** **About Columbus Investors Club** The Columbus Investors Club is a local meetup for real estate investors, aspiring investors, contractors, vendors, lenders, realtors, and other professionals who want to grow in the Columbus market.
