What do you hate about other courses/programmes/etc?
What’s the worst thing you’ve seen in a course or program? Free or paid. The stuff that made you think: “Never again… I’m not going to bother finishing this.” Help me eliminate any barriers to enjoying the upcoming new programme by letting me know below. BONUS: If there’s anything you absolutely love, let me know too. But knowing the hates is far more important. See you in the comments.

You plan sounds good. For me personally, every course needs actionable content that is fairly easy to implement otherwise it all becomes shelf help!
Acerbic email (for Connor)
Here's the email I sent to the insurance company after they'd been dragging their feet. EDIT: Their claims paperwork says "10 to 12 weeks". At this point, we were in Week 14, and they wanted to go another round with the GP, which would take at least a fortnight. Scored a direct hit - the guy told me this is what got the claim over the line (he overruled the senior assessor, who still wanted to talk to the GP). A free Mars Bar to the first person to point out what REALLY got this over the line and why. === Begin Acerbic Email === Brendan, The Alzheimer's diagnosis from Prof. Cronin is unequivocal and backed up by an MRI (see attached). I'm sure Prof Cronin has verified this himself. If you're doubting how this is affecting Sarah's day-to-day life and you won't take my word for it, then arrange for an independent assessment because neither Dr Kelly nor the local GP can say. Sarah hasn't seen Dr Kelly since November 26th 2024 — more than eight months ago — and she has zero experience of dealing with Sarah on a day-to-day basis. So she cannot know how Alzheimer's impacts Sarah's daily life today. While Sarah is registered at the local GP following our relocation to the UK, she hasn't visited the practice. Why would she, since her physical health is good? The address is: The Barn Surgery Newbury Gillingham Dorset SP8 4XS Reception: +44 (0) 1747 824201 I don't know if she or I have been assigned to a specific GP. Ask them. You have my permission. Or I can give you a detailed breakdown of how Alzheimer's affects her, along with testimony from close friends and family. Frankly, I'm disappointed. You encourage me to ask questions, but when I do, I don't get any answers. What exactly is the delay here? I want detailed and specific answers and updates. I think your current level of service is unacceptable. I have paid my premiums in full without fail or delay for Lord knows how many years — fewer than 13 but probably more than ten — and this is how you behave when I make a claim?

Last line is brilliant and almost certainly did it!
The Revival... & what it means for you
This group is coming back. With a few changes. Here's the cliff notes: (And keep your eyes peeled for the full update) - This group is now exclusively my group. EBG will lurk in here, but he remains retired, and focused on his sci-fi, porn, and stoic writing. - I'm working exclusively with a former client who smartly snapped me up after hearing the news. So I have no need, want, or desire to sell my wares to you. On top of that it would be a breach of contract. So I literally, and legally can't. - This group is being reinstated by myself instead of creating a website, a blog, etc. My thinking is this group was producing real value for those engaging, and those lurking. So instead of putting my energy into a boring, static, isolated website - I'll put my energy back into this group. Moving forward the group will revolve around three words. Premium, Rebellious, & Profitable. Everything will be geared towards making you the go-to choice in your industry, using contrarian marketing & sales that works, and all while lining your palm with plenty of gold. The initial plan is this: 1) Rebrand the group around those words. 2) Regular writings around being a premium, rebellious, and wildly profitable company. 3) Finish, and release the never seen before 2.0 programme myself and EBG started before life happened - for free, because I don't need your money (The 1.0 version was sold for as much as £36k - the 2.0 version was going to be sold for similar amounts). Why I'm doing this will be detailed shortly. In the meantime here's the TL;DR. - This group is better than a website, and I've missed you & my former clients. - With the rise of AI, I believe community is the future. - If I can serve you guys, for free, at a level I've never done before cuz sales & bills - I'll be able to buy a lot of goodwill, save you ££££ on courses & programmes, and all while building my own notoriety. I'll speak to you sons of guns soon. Warmly, ⁂ Connor 'Remontada' Benham

awesome news Connor
Greetings
Morning, all. First, yes, I am mostly retired and focusing on my porn, science fiction, and taking care of Sarah for the comparatively little time she has left. My pension doesn't quite bring enough in for us to live on, but the gap is small, around £1,000 a month. I'm already 20% of the way to making that up with my Kindle empire, so building it further is a no-brainer. A £1k investment over the next year to see if I can make this work is a small risk. It doesn't hurt the insurance company has finally paid out on Sarah's diagnosis (who wants to see the acerbic email that got the cunts over the line to pay up?). I should also get a fair old wedge from the compensation claim following my near-fatal cycling accident in March (I presume you all know about that?). That, and our pension lump sums, mean we're well set up for the future. Nonetheless, I am still open to some business, primarily mentoring and consulting. But I don't need the money, and my fees will make your balls (or ovaries) hurt and your eyes water. Anyway, life is pretty good, all things considered. We're back in the UK now, living in Dorset. In a flat. In a retirement complex. It was a strategic stroke of genius on my part: it's an assured tenancy (meaning we have it for life if we want it), and it's the perfect setup for Sarah as she declines. But. It also means I'm living in a flat in a retirement complex. If you thought old people had nothing better to do all day than channel Victor Meldrew, then you are absolutely right. That said, I swear most of the other residents are already fucking dead, and no one has yet thought to tell them. The old ladies love me, and men hate me — all for the same reasons. All that, coupled with the mind-numbingly labyrinthine bureaucracy involved in importing my car from Ireland, and getting the dumbfuck institutions — from banks to pension providers and everything in between — to cooperate with their legal obligations about the lasting power of attorney I have so I can manage Sarah's finances, means I am effectively living in a Kafkaesque Radio 4 play.

All the best, Jon - sorry to hear about both you & Sarah!
Welcome! Who are you?
Welcome to The Well Fed Renegades community, exclusively for our book buyers, where we are all on a mission to make more sales, to premium clients, at premium prices. Wish to join us? Invest in your copy of the M82 book by clicking here here If you've already ordered your copy, thank you. If you need any help with your order, using this site or accessing material please email holly@wellfedbusiness.com This exclusive community is just for M82 book owners. We've run free communities before and they sucked, so we've kept this one exclusive. It's full of business owners just like you, with battle scars, stories, and lessons to share. So engage, ask questions, and support each other. I'll be in this community every day ensuring you are getting the answer to any burning questions you may have. We created this community for two reasons: 1) I'm sure you've read a book before and wished you had an easy way to ask the author a question, or thought 'That's great! But how do I apply it to my situation/business?'. I know I have. So I created a community I wished every good book I've read had. In spite of EBGs reclusive nature, you can ask questions, get help, and most importantly get results. 2) It's an easy way to access 'The Most Unbelievable Free Gift Ever' that comes with every book purchase. Simply click into the classroom and you'll see it staring you in the face. If you want to work with us privately, you can book The Triage. It's a call with myself, so we can get clear on where you are, where you wanna go, and identify the roadblocks in your way. If it all goes well, I'll put you forward for a planning sessions with The EBG so you can get in the weeds together. Oh, and we'll never, ever sell to you unless you ask. That's a promise. You can book that here: https://wellfedbusiness.com/wall/ I'm always curious as to who the person is behind the order summary I get daily, so please, do me a favour.

@Andrew Redfern AGREE!! we often revise our estimates 3-4 times depending on what type of shift is required due to access conditions and they often give us an order based on the 1st revision but the 4th revision is actual - variance upwards, you then have to fight to increase order or costs get challenged as the rate you are charging did not form part of the contract!! Rookie errors we sometimes still make, as landslips or sinkholes are emergency works and we are all focused on getting the job done and best results for the client... until the QS (Quantity Surveyor) gets hold of the AFP (Application for Payment) - not fun. I am still justifying shifts from Oct 2023 to not get a recall on funds!!
