When I joined FBM program I didn't know what to expect and if it was going to be the right fit for me. It was my first time joining an online program. Since the first call with Nikita, he made me feel a true and sincere connection. I felt like he truly care for my well being and improving my life. Since week one, the whole coaching team was so supportive delivering more than I could ever expect it. The material and content inside this program is extremely easy to follow that it is really impossible to not understand how to create your own business. In terms or self-doubts and limiting beliefs, coaches are extremely supportive and helpful to help you break those limiting beliefs and build your new identity and business. As of right now, I have 4 clients in my business while I continue to work in my tennis coaching. Max has been a true inspiration and I am extremely thankful that I was able to join his program. My online business will only help me to grow more and connect it with my long-term goal I have had since I was a kid.

I took this program and it was a scam. I want to preface the reasons why by saying I trusted Max from his RSD content. Believable and genuine guy. So it's with some disappointment I have to leave such a negative review. 1) The sales calls were by a cold, rude and arrogant intern who acted like me giving them my money was something I needed to justify. Classic role reversal, them being the exclusive club I must qualify myself to be a part of. Either way, the only metric he was interested in was my bank balance. When I asked for more info on the course content he was cagey, bored and impatient. When I stalled, made objections and detailed the stress and importance of such a big monetary investment I was told I needed to meditate more. I was 38 at the time, not a kid who needed unsolicited spiritual advice from a 21-year-old business post-graduate. Anyway, that's an aside. But, a big red flag was the insistence I promise to decide at the end of the call. I insisted I sleep on big money decisions. I was then told in business people make quick decisions every day and that I needed to act more decisively. Again, another tactic to pressure me into handing over my cash. I was not impressed, but with my high opinion of Max built from years of his youtube content, I placed any doubts to one side, hoping for the best. 2) Once on the course, the focus was entirely on manual lead gen and sales, not turning you into a compelling consultant who can deliver true value with conviction and effective presentation. They emphasised that shallow knowledge was all you needed (1-3 steps ahead of the client). "You only need to have read one more book than the client to provide guidance" etc. This felt entirely unethical and was not what I thought a 3000 euro course would be. I used a lot of energy pushing down the feeling of myself being encouraged to be a charlatan preying on weak targets but was drained emotionally by having to fight my better instincts. Again, you're told to trust the process. 3) I was CLEARLY not right for the course, being someone who had no clear idea for a consultancy niche and what skills I did have the team could not mentor me towards one that made any practical sense. Yet, I was told to focus on Business English. But, to who? Where? What market? "That's not a niche. That's a whole industry", I thought. And a very competitive one where I could not charge a premium. This wasn't leading me to the dream life this course was sold on. I repeatedly hit impasse after impasse on the course due to the lack of clarity on the issue but was told to plough on even when the course was inherently linear. "You'll figure out your niche later. You'll niche down as you go"..."Keep going through the modules". This left me languishing, confused and under a severe amount of stress trying to make things work. But, I couldn't even begin to execute. Everything was road blocked. Imagine a golf player trying to hit a ball on a course without a hole, let alone a flag to aim at. Again, I was fobbed off, told to go on group calls and told it will be okay. Still, I could get no straight answer or solid actionable feedback. This can only be explained by the fact that the team were just so young and inexperienced, unable to parlay my skill set into a niche 4) The feedback was extremely hard to come by. Even the Facebook group was useless, oftentimes leaving me having to contact the admin to even allow my questions to be posted. Feedback took 3 days and this was on a course which is both linear and on a 12-week clock. There was no real mentoring, not even of a ratio as low as 1 to 3. Group calls are uncomfortable, long, tedious and you might not get the info you needed to proceed. I did eventually get feedback via DM's but with no clear answers. I was told I had 'mindset issues' and that my choice was viable 5) I was threatened with legal action when I requested to leave the course and keep the remainder of my pay instalments, citing the above reasons. I'd barely gotten a third of the way into the content and saw no way how I was going to make money, or even enjoy the demoralisingly dull grind of traipsing every shadowy Facebook group for victims I'd be selling my non-existent expertise to. The threats were the icing on the cake and so I left, blocked and never looked back. I kept my money. Now, you can see many good reviews on here. I can't talk to the veracity or the legitimacy of them. All I can tell you is my own experience was very bad. You'll also notice that when you read the negative reviews (which resemble my own experience to a tee) Max calls into question the mental health of the complainant. This is another tactic to delegitimise criticism in the eyes of other consumers. It's rather disgusting in my opinion. These are not therapists or clinical psychologists. They are gaslighting to assuage suspicion of any other potential victims.

Dear James, I'm really happy we could talk about your experience on the phone the other day. I'm also happy we could end on a positive note and I'm glad you've received your full refund right after our call. To clarify a couple things you've mentioned: 2) There are actually two full modules on becoming a "compelling consultant" as you put it. Unfortunately you didn't get to these modules yet (having only gone through a third of the way into the content, as you said), but you still have full access to the program videos so if you ever change your mind you can always get that info even though you've received all your money back. "But, to who? Where? What market? "That's not a niche. That's a whole industry" > you have finished module 3 which helps you roughly find your niche. Modules 4-6 would have then helped us answer these exact questions of "who? Where" and "What market". That is also the reason why we wanted to encourage you to continue with the program so we can niche you down properly. I understand you've voiced your wish to no longer build your own business on our personal call the other day, but if you ever change your mind, please know that you still have full access to these videos and also my personal phone number, so just give me a ring and I'll be happy to help you out with anything you need. "You only need to have read one more book than the client to provide guidance" > that's incorrect. It's enough to get free test clients, but of course you should continuously hone your craft as a coach, consultant or service provider. That's not only in your clients' best interest, but also in your business' best interest. 4) Feedback taking more than 3 days is incorrect. We always answer within 24h Monday - Friday. It could be that your question was posted Friday evening in which case you had to wait til Monday morning. We apologize if that has caused you any stress over the weekend. And yes, all posts being posted in the group are first approved by our coaches in order to avoid any spamming and to keep the group clean and respectful to everyone. 5) I was threatened with legal action when I requested to leave the course and keep the remainder of my pay instalments, citing the above reasons > We never threaten with legal actions and never involved any legal actions, as discussed on our phone call and I'm happy we could clarify that when we talked things out. All in all, I want to thank you very much for the great call we've had and I'm sorry you didn't get the experience you were looking for with building your own business. If you ever decide to get back into starting you have my number and you still have full access to the course, just give us a ring. Best wishes and stay safe, Max Tornow

FBM made the experience of creating my own business as straight forward as possible. The coaches and support in place where absolutely fantastic. The programme is designed to 'cut the fat' and show you what is actually required to start your own business. I started FBM at the beginning of lockdown but have still managed to get my first few clients and now know its possible to scale my business to a level I never thought possible! I am extremely greatful to Max and his team for their continued support and would recommend anyone who is looking for an alternative means of income to invest in themselves and just get started!

Save time! Really, buying this online program will save you literal years of your life. I was sceptic at first but after a few hours I already saw the value of a mentor. Max and his team are professionals who guide you through the (basic) steps of the entrepreneurial life. They have a lot of accountability in place making this a great experience overall. 10/10

BEST investment I've ever made! I'm beyond grateful to the coaches for all the support they gave me, I've already returned my initial investment ( couple month after joining) + got more on top. Thank you!
