Re: these endless snowflake-y rants from people like Steve Burgess..
Christ, it's pretty simple isn't it?
We could all keep quiet about the
tit-housery of the Davies twins.
Or we could use this forum to alert people to the
tit-housery, thereby helping them to avoid get thoroughly ripped off/bullied/fucked over as we've seen happen to friends, acquaintances and family members.
It's EXACTLY the same as warning people off
tit builders, dodgy restaurants and crap accountants. We have to do it here because they've never allowed reviews or comments they don't like on any of their social media channels.
As far as The Acolytes are concerned - Steve Burgess, Matt Hall and the few others that were particularly close to Llewellyn Davies - they hitched their wagons to that horse FOR MONTHS, if not years. That presents a problem for the following, also pretty simple reasons..
So, Steve:
- You met Llewellyn Davies and - unlike some of us - didn't see through (or care about) his fake online Follower numbers, dreadful social media engagement, despite claiming to be some sort of influencer.
- You didn't investigate (or care about) the fact that the available info from Companies House doesn't, in any way, point to Llewellyn and Rhys Davies running the kind of legitimate, mega-successful businesses they boast about. The last figures for Champions Of Mind show net current assets of less than £11k, FFS.
- You seem not to have cared about the endless announcing of new ventures from your mentor that came to nothing - Mindfit, Developmind, events at the (smallest venue in the) O2, launching a supplement brand, buying a sportswear brand etc etc. The fact that none of these ever happened points to a complete lack of credibility on his part.
If you
had seen through the fake online presence, the smoke-and-mirrors company info, the empty boasts and endless parading of material "wealth" you'd have done as I did when I met Llewellyn Davies and given him the widest of wide berths.
But you didn't.
Instead you engaged him on a long-term basis as your personal development/business mentor. You paid him for a long time even, I think, as the whole Sarah Akwisombe debacle was going on.
You presumably got something out of it. Until you didn't.
The fact that you eventually walked means you (presumably) finally saw Llewellyn Davies's
tit-housery for what it is. It just took you a long-ass time. That seems to be pretty f__king poor judgement.
I don't think that people who can't
immediately see through this kind of
tit-housery are terribly well-placed to be giving advice to other people on Personal Development or, god forbid, running a business.
There are great business mentoring options for people out there and brilliant, serious life-coaches and counsellors. Then there are a
tit ton of "look at my watch", "I've got a new car", "years ago I was in a
tit job, now I'm an unqualified coach - pay me and I can teach you to be the same" characters scattered all over social media.
Most of us on here just want people to make the right choice. Because some people we know didn't.
