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.

I would not normally post such things as this again, But, this business that this post is referring to has just Poached a potentially good contract from me, and this is all because he seems "Obsessive with these Off The Shelf Awards. The customer that he got in front off, and persuaded to go with him, rather than myself, had the gall to call me Uncredible becuase I dont have any of the Vanity, Off The Shelf Awards, yet, I am vastly more qualified in Woodland Management than he is. I spent my early working life as an Parks and Countryside Ranger Aprentice and then went on to work for a Park Holiday's centre in there 2 Acre Woodland Garden. This is a Post that i had put up on one of my Social Media channels a few months ago, the Landscaper in question has now got another "Award? under his belt (Best Country/Rural Estate Management Company. This is the sector that i'm "Trying, to break into) and he spends Thousands on them as he always "Buy's Into the premium packages. I bet he even gets the Awarding Company to write his entry for him? There's just No Skill in that! Am I being a bit Obsessive with this? and i know that i have vented on this topic many times, but I'm Genuinely intrigued and curious. Let me explain. A fellow Landscape Gardener has just got yet another "Off The Shelf Award" as i call them, and he always gets Lots of Exposure from them. He has recently won the Build Facilities Management top award and the SME Midlands Business Of The Year award as he Always does. I tend to shy away from these things, as in my mind, they are not that Credible. If you are going to go for Business Awards, it's best to opt for "Industry Specific, such as in my case, the Horticulture Trades Association, British Association of Landscape Industries etc. Whereas, what I'm doing with getting Triple Chartered (Im currently a Member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture, and am going for Full Chartership) I'm also going for Associate then Technical membership of the Institute of Chartered Foresters and subsequently the Society of Environmentalists and SocEnv.

(Well sort of free) My book, The Business Exit Blueprint (the ultimate, no-nonsense, life-changing guide to growing a valuable, sellable and sought after business AND exiting happy, wealthy, and regret-free), is back from the proof-reader and just about ready to go. So... with the EBG's kind permission, here's the deal. - I'm looking for a bunch of people to review it for me. - I'll send you the PDF.  - You'll read it and send me an honest review along with a recent photo and permission to use both for promotion within the next 3 weeks. (Even if you can't read it all, choose a section that's most interesting for you and review it). - In return, I'll send you a free signed copy when it goes to print in a few weeks.  If you've already paid for a copy, I'll give you a refund, obviously. If you want to do this, either email me at richard@aurelius-advisory.com or add your email to the comments below by the end of this week (Sunday 21st), and I'll get the pdf over to you toute suite.

It was exciting to receive this last weekend, with a covering note in teal writing. I'm even keeping the 'EBG' envelope for now. Aesthetics aside, I'm looking forward to learning from this too.

Hey everyone 👋 Just had my onboarding call with Connor and fucking buzzing to get started. Bring it on!
