Have you put in hours of work for a client, and when it comes to getting paid they’ve disappeared into the void?

Have you put in time and effort on a free consultation with a prospect to be given the cold shoulder and they never come on as a paying client?

If you have, you’re not alone.

Too many business owners and freelancers go through this on a daily basis, burning a giant, stinking hole in their profits, and in turn, their pockets.

In today’s episode of the Well-Fed Business Podcast, the Evil Bald Genius and Connor Benham share with you the best (and only) way to avoid getting ghosted, ripped off, and given the cold shoulder.

The 16-word marketing strategy

I often lament the fact very few so-called professionals in my line of work seem to understand the difference between tactics and strategy.

Why the universe is fundamentally unfair

The universe is fundamentally unfair. It would be nice, perhaps, to imagine we’re all part of some plan or other but there’s no evidence to suggest that’s true.

Is this fair?

Nope.

The pain of others’ stupidity

If you know me at all, you know I’m a cheerful kind of guy in the main. Easy to get along with, generally pretty forgiving of people, and much less judgemental than some of my deliberately inflammatory comments might have you believe.
But I have to confess there’s one thing guaranteed to get a rise of me — business owners’ wilful fucking ignorance and learned helplessness when it comes to marketing.
It boils down to two big mistakes they’re making: irrational belief in the silver bullet, and a lack of belief in how simple things really are…
