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

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.

Hey guys, You’ve probably realised things are quiet on our front. After a long discussion with Jon, we’ve decided to close things down (more on that in a moment). But first, here’s what it means for you: - You will all be emailed Vimeo links/google drive links containing all of the PDFs, videos, etc of anything you have purchased for you to download and keep forever. - This Skool group will shut down soon. Take what you need ASAP. - This is not goodbye forever. You probably have questions, and that's ok. I'll be happy answer them, but here are the FAQs so far... - No, me and Jon haven't fallen out. Not in the slightest. We are still best pals, and have regular calls setup to shoot the shit as best mates. - We made this decision due to ever changing personal circumstances making longer term commitments harder to honour. Nothing to do with anything else. - Yes, Elite, and CoreControl is closing too. - Jon is retiring from all long term engagements. But will consider short term projects that fit within his time schedule leveraging his copywriting, and strategic approach to sales & marketing. He will also be taking the Stoic leadership and attitude model forwards. - I will be continuing down a similar path you have seen Well-Fed Business go down, but with my own spin. I'll be leveraging my ten year+ experience as the man behind the scenes enabling us to build a highly profitable, lean, and fun business - and helping others build out their 'behind the scene stuff'. - Holly’s going to ramp up her business support services, branching out to help more business owners with their operations and the day-to-day. If you want to keep up to date with exactly what each of us are doing, you can sign up to our various email lists below.

So, to kick things off. On Friday i had received this months copy of the Business Breakthrough, the Magazine of the Cardell Media VIP Inner Circle. Upon reading it, near the centre page, i find an Article with the Title, Entrepreneur Of The Month. And who do i see, that's right, that would be Me! I've won the Chris Cardell Entrepreneur Of The Month 😁 Then on Saturday, i receive an email from my Tutor, to say that the First Assignment on my Post Grad Degree has come back with an 100% Pass Rate 😁 Lets hope that will continue! And, Saving the Best till last. I had what's possibly The most Important and Worthy Book through the post, Yep, the M82 Kick - Arse Guide, with an enlightening Letter from the One and Only, EBG.. Things couldn't get better, or could they? Well, today, Sunday 19 November 2023, i had a txt from a previous commercial client inviting Me, and no one else, to quote on a large woodland management project 😁 Things are finally looking up, and i have no need to worry, as, when i dropped All my Low Paying, Pain In The Ass, Domestic Clients, i was wondering if i was doing the right thing, but, this weekends Wins, has put my mind at ease! I may be Absolutely Skint, and have Zero in my Accounts, but, that scenario could soon change.
