Do you want to start, grow and scale your own Podcast? Is there a message to want to share to masses but you’re not sure how? In today’s episode, Rob shares with you everything you need to run your very own podcast. Listen in and learn how to title your show, grow your power team, create engaging content and source world-class guests. Discover the tips and tricks from the host of the UK’s #1 Business Podcast, hear what it takes to run a successful show and understand how you too can leverage a podcast’s reach to grow your business too. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you ever want to have a podcast that you can say is a success, first of all, you need to have a very captivating title for your podcast. The title itself should play part in advertising the podcast. When people hear about this podcast, they should be tempted to know more about your podcast. The venue where you'll be hosting your podcast is very, very important. It should be a place that is presentable or nice looking, it should be a clean one, the place should not be noisy or its surroundings should not be noisy to have an audible podcast. This also plays part in advertising your podcast. The host of the podcast should have the skill to entertain for the show not to be boring and he or she should also have the skill to engage with anyone in a conversation to get every detail for who he or she is interviewing. You should have content in your podcast if you want the podcast to be a success. Always bring fresh and never heard stories to your audience and the content should be captivating or content that many can relate to. Delivering new and inspiring content to your audience is another secret to having a successful podcast. Invite guests that have achieved extraordinary things, be it in the business world, in sports, in music or whichever area and the guest should be well known to the public. This helps in increasing the followers to your podcast. They should be people with great stories behind their success; they should be people with lots of good advice and ideas. Never invite a boring guest to interview them on your podcast. Invite guests that are inspirational to the public. You should have a team of workers such as cameraman, podcast editors and even directors because you can't do all this work on your own. Leverage that team for the podcast to be a success. You need the best equipment you can get and modern pieces of equipment such as cameras, microphones, computers, you name them, they should be of the best quality if you want to give quality work of podcasting. The host or the interviewer must have knowledge, experience, and confidence for him or her to perfect the show or podcast. He or she must not be overwhelmed while interviewing the guest, he or she should not fear the guest, he or she should ask anything that the public might want answers to. You should know your way around all the social media platforms so that you can be able to advertise your podcast and so that it can reach a lot of people out there such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many others. This helps to grow your followers’ number and many people get to know about your podcast. BEST MOMENTS “Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.” “Podcast brings recognition to you and your brand.” “Recognition is good because it forces you to put more content or up the game of content creators out there.” “A lot of people worry that you need to produce really good quality content, yes you do, but quality can be a good rant.” “Good content should be short, punchy, real and relatable.” “Everyone's got an opinion on a celebrity, I will judge when I've sat down with them for 90 minutes.” “Disruptive is reinventing yourself, disrupting yourself, challenging yourself, reinventing your niche, your industry, when people think they can predict what you're going to do, you do something different, something disruptive, something courageous, being different, honoring who you are, showing the world who it is, creating a whole new model, creating a whole new industry, a whole new niche, and a whole new brand.” “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

If you’re in an airplane with 300 other passengers and you could have a passionate piot or a competent, committed and consistent pilot which would you take? Passion whilst important in the beginner can be an overrated trait for entrepreneurs and often acts as an excuse for poor judgment and ‘gut’ instincts. In today’s honest episode, Rob discusses the value of consistency, commitment, and persistence in business and why creating enduring success and longevity is far more important than just being passionate about what you’re doing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Passion is often an excuse for being emotional, acting reactively and using your ‘gut’ instinct instead of proper diligence or research. When you start of and you don’t have the experience, passion can be an asset that makes up for what you currently lack, but you’re still lacking. Enthusiasm is different from passion, it’s controlled. Passion is almost an uncontrolled emotion and enthusiasm shows commitment and an obsession for your business and customers. Puristance is keeping going despite the knockbacks whereas passion is uncontrolled excitement but persistence is the ability to just keep on going no matter the setbacks Consistency and Commitment are longer burning traits then passion and will carry you further in business because there is something behind it backing it up, with passion there is no substance behind it and it will burn out over time. Often a lot of the things that make you wildly excited in business and the things that you’re passionate about don’t make you any money. There’s a lot of people using passion as an excuse in business and they’re passionate about so many things that in reality they’re passionate about none.

Interview with Junior Wimbledon Singles Champion and entrepreneur, David Lloyd. Rob and David discuss David’s journey from professional athlete to professional property investor what it takes to pivot from sports into business. Discover the mindset, skillset and work ethic needed to succeed as an entrepreneur and create sustainable and scalable income. KEY TAKEAWAYS If someone does not have the drive to do something or if his or her heart is not in that something that you want him or her to do, you can push them to do that thing but they are not going to do it. He or she has to have the heart of the talent in that particular thing for him or her to do it perfectly. If you want any person to succeed in life, then what you have to do is listen to them and hear what they love and later on support them in that thing that they love to do, be it sports, business or any other thing. Encourage people to do what they love more than what they are told. Dream big. Always have those dreams of success and always work towards achieving your dreams and you may never know, you might achieve your dreams in no time. Do not let any obstacles come your way and make you lose focus on your dreams. If you can keep 95% of the people coming in your doors happy, you've succeeded, it's impossible to do 100% and you can do that with the price, with the quality of the equipment and the product that you are offering to your customers. Always focus on making at least 95% of your customers happy and you will always succeed. For you to thrive well in the business world, you got to be confident in what you're doing and confident in the product you're delivering to your customers. Believe in your business, your product and you and the rest will fall into place. Be prepared to learn if you want to venture into the business world and succeed. Take every little advice that you get from those who have a successful business and always maximize on that little advice. You also need to invest little money in developing yourself like paying for a business course. In the business world, you have to accept both failures and successes. Learn from your failures so that you can do better next time. Difference between entrepreneurship and corporation. Corporate companies scared of an entrepreneur making mistakes and doing his own thing which is not true. A good entrepreneur does the opposite because otherwise, you can't grow. If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate. An entrepreneur can be agile, making decisions happen quickly and then in these massive corporates, everything just takes forever. You’ve got to be competitive for you to succeed in the business world. Always look at what your competitor is doing or producing and then make your product a better one than his or hers. Have that competitive spirit with a healthy friendship between you. Market your product or services to the public if you want to have success in your business. Make what you are doing known to everyone. If you have to hire a salesperson in your company for your success, then go ahead and do it. You should learn to become your independent financial advisor and learn to manage your own money and invest your own money because no one's going to manage it or invest your own money as well as you. BEST MOMENTS “Give people all the opportunities and encourage them along, but do not make them feel like nobody for them to succeed in life.” “Your business can only be successful if your people working for you are part of it.” “You've got to try and cut out in any business the things that can damage you or least lessen them.” “An entrepreneur can grow a business very quickly, but in a different way to a corporate body.” “If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate.” “Competition forces innovation.” “Sportspeople should start businesses when they're still playing, but not when they’re forgotten.” “Don’t overestimate your income, and don’t underestimate your costs.” ABOUT THE GUEST David Alan Lloyd was born on 3rd January 1948 and is a former professional English tennis player and entrepreneur. He was born in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. He and his younger brother John Lloyd became two of the most successful British tennis players throughout the 1970s and 1980s. David captained the British Davis Cup team and became a leading figure in the Lawn Tennis Association. Following the sale of the leisure business, Lloyd turned his attention to real estate and developed the highly acclaimed Sugar Hill Resort in Barbados, where purchasers included Sir Cliff Richard, John Lodge of the Moody Blues and entertainers Bob Monk house and Jasper Carrot. Lloyd was later involved in the development of a luxury estate in Phuket, Thailand and the building of a luxury villa near Marbella in Spain. Davi

If you’re starting out in business today, it’s important to grow not just your companies brand but also your personal one. Strategically naming your company and intelligently growing your personal brand from the beginning gives you the flexibility and freedom to pivot into new markets, new industries and evolve your brands as your interest and passions change over time. Tune in today to hear Rob share the Progressive story, how the company was formed, how it’s changed over the years and how his own personal brand (The Disruptive Entrepreneur) has evolved ever since. KEY TAKEAWAYS It a strategic decision pivoting from property to entrepreneurship and personal branding because I wanted to grow my business and serve my interests. To do myself and Mark needed to onboard trainers and mentors into Progressive Property so that they could begin to teach our courses and free up our time so that we can systemise our business and scale. The strategic decision to step down from property and further pursue business was led with a post and announcement to our community and databases for accountability. If I was giving myself feedback on my personal brand, I’d do a little less. I’ve got lots of books, 2 podcasts, 6 companies, and 20 different courses, but they’re all under the web of business and entrepreneurship. It’s good to build a personal brand but also a company brand and by doing this it gives you the ability to scale, sell, leave and pivot into multiple verticles. When launching your brand it’s important to have a 5-year plan and a vision of how the company will grow and your personal brand with it. As a result, it’s beneficial to call your business scalable name that can morph and change into what you want it to be in the future. If you’re starting a business now and in particular property its worth setting up a personal brand also as you’ll find it’s easy to fall out of property and in love with the freedom, profit and choice it brings you. BEST MOMENTS “There came a point where my brand needed more reach and a higher level of abstraction” “I never wanted to be labelled as just a coach” “Business is a general passion of mine” “There’s a lot of freedom and flexibility with entrepreneurship” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Have you ever been ripped-off, copied or had competitors nick your ideas? In today’s Caffeine Cast Rob gives his balanced point of view on copiers, competition and how to deal with it. Listen in and learn the upsides of someone ripping you off, the leverage in someone copying your idea and the forced innovation that comes with competitors stealing your concepts. “They can copy what you do but they can’t copy who you are” Rob dives into the positives of the competition copying you and how it pushes you constantly disrupt the market and become an industry trailblazer. Tune in now to hear more. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you’re pissed off about someone ripping you off, remember that you’ve done it too. Otherwise, how do you learn? If you’ve been copied it’s flattery. It means you’re doing well, you’re reaching people and others want to imitate what you do. Being copied is feedback that you’re doing well. Would you rather people copy you or copy someone else? Because when they’re copying you it’s perceived as a loss but it’s also a gain and does your brand a lot of good. In a way, they act as mini affiliates or referrals. When you get copied you get shared, your reach increases and you can go viral. If you’re being copied take it as a challenge to reinvent yourself and if you think every idea has been done. you can hybridize and fuse ideas together to form a new idea and new invention. When people copy you, their copying you where you were and not where you’re going. This leads to a lot of copycats getting your ideas or invention wrong. In a lot of cases, your competitors will copy you at the wrong time and it will cost them. People copying you will force you to be innovative, progressive and disruptive and continue to be the trail-blazer in your industry and market. BEST MOMENTS “They can copy what you do but they can’t copy who you are” “They can copy what you do but they can’t copy who you are” “No one can copy who you are” “Children learn through imitation and through osmosis” “Even I left my last employed role and took Mark with me” “Maybe half the property providers in the UK have been trained or mentored by me or my companies” “We disrupted the Black Friday offer in the property training space” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this episode, Rob went to the home of the founder of Poundland, Steve Smith. He set up Poundland in April of 1990, worked in market stools from the age of 2 and in 10 years, he built a business from zero and sold it for 72 million pounds and today Rob and Steve dive into what it takes to be successful business owner. Discover how to start, scale and exit your business? How to sell products for a pound and make a huge profit? Additionally hear the insider story of how Steve sold Poundland and what he’s doing now in the world of business. KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you learn when you want to figure something out? I never read the instructions. I always try and figure it out without reading instructions. If it is something in business that I need help with then because I am into people I know. I just pick up the phone… How did you invest the money that your dad loaned you to start the company? The first thing was we had an office to work from. Get the products in... We didn't need to spend any money on marketing because we have a lay of customers coming past the door. Because the products were really good, people would tell people. And as we were opening shop after shop, the important thing was the buying power. As the buying power came on, it's allowed us to do lots more with the product. So as soon as our turnover way 10 million pounds, we was importing which allowed us to get better buy products to make a little bit more margin. After your initial finance from your dad, did you borrow external money or was it funded through profit and cash flow of the business? It was all through cash flow in the business. The bank oddly loaned very little loaned us. So from the initial loan from my father, we grew everything, give it to cash flow. As we got better, landlords started giving us rent-free. We can open another store for less cash. So opened shop after shop. As we got bigger, Dave started working more on the shop side and I worked on the distribution on the supply chain and on the finance side. I spent so much time on systems. Our systems are fantastic. Always remember, KPMG came in to see us and said, "God, the top supermarkets would love your software..." So, from me and Trace in an office 1990 to employing almost 6000 people. Can you remember what the rough average margin was at the point maybe of selling that you sell for a pound, can you remember the margins on those? So, it's all about something that we created. Because always remember, everybody keeps saying you need more margin. And for me, it's not just about the margin, it's about the margin, it's about the margin, we come over the phone, come with the margin right to sale. Example, imagine we selling 4 package roll for a pound and let's say it costs us 50p, the 60p, we can sell 6. And they'll still be selling hundreds, you sell thousands of pack of 6, I make more money. I always press on value. Can you remember the best advice that you ever got? There are no by-products only bad prices. When the business was sold. How do you feel right then? It was like somebody has died in the family. So it was like somebody's died in the business and you never think about the money when you're growing a business, the money is always, yes it is what you are doing at the end of the day. The end result but as long as you are enjoying doing what you're doing, the money normally follows. Do you regret then selling? It would have been nice to see that business go through from 200 million to off a billion to a billion... What you regret is the people, working with the people. You miss working the people and the life that you have along with the journey. In intensive care and you think you've got 2 and half hours or whatever to live, in addition to what you said, what else goes through your head? any regrets? It is very difficult when you got 2 hours to live and your family and children are 8 hours away. Can you remember any bad advice that you have been given? I was remembering working in the market store, where everybody says, we're as crazy on the pricing. As we give a good vibe for money. And as so are you crazy working to achieve, you should put your price up and what we did, we think maybe we're wrong, and that maybe we should listen to him, and we put our prices up. And the first week, turnover, same turnover. Make double the amounts of money and really cough it. We're wrong. And second week, the turnover came down. The third week, came down. The fourth week, docked out the four. And it took us probably 8 months to get our customer flow back. Because people come, they buy off here. They just buy cause they are there but they don't come back. Why were you so keen to get store after store after store after store after store? Why didn't get to 5 or 10 and say that's enough for me? I used to love buying. Buying is all about buying power. And if you get more buying power, you can do more. Poundland, what would you say is or was unique about it? The concept. It's obviously u

If you want to get to make a killing on social media, leverage free online platforms for more reach and gain a massive online audience to grow your business, this is the episode for you. But if you’re looking to achieve these kinds of results you to need to know how to play the game. Discover the do’s and don’ts for making a lot more money on social media, the simple rule for creating great content and the secret behind identifying your perfect niche and your ideal clients. Tune in today with your host, Rob to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Do’s of Social Media Selling Identify your niche and your ideal client before selling. Ensure you know exactly what your target demographic is. To find your niche all you need to do is find your the top 20% of your clients. These are the ones that buy the most, require the least customer service and refer new business. Figure out how you acquired them, what marketing is needed to engage with them and scale-up. Make sure you have accounts on every social media platform and you’re populating them with content regularly. Ensure it’s clear on all your profiles what you do and who you are. Join all of the niche related Facebook groups and also start your own. Get known and get seen. Before anything gives lots of value first. ‘Jab, jab, jab, right hook’ work out a ratio for your value content to sales posts and always engage in the comments, post on others posts and you will become known in your niche. Continue to do this and you will see the compounding effects of content marketing. Follow the 80/10/5/5 rule: 80% of the time your content needs to be on brand and focused on your niche. 10% of the time make it personal and cover what you’re doing. 5% of the time focus on newsjacking and building engagement to increase reach and comment on topical news. 5% of the time is selling, however it can be more profitable to sell to clients away from social platforms where they are more captive and you can get them in a sales verticle. Make sure you leverage all of the free social media out there including podcasts and know when you’re building your profiles and when to cash in on the platform” Focus on collaborations and joint-ventures. In the beginning, these may not be a 50/50 split as you grow but this will help you reach and help to grow your business and increase your following. Be persistent, consistent and patient. If you want to get the results that social media can bring you to need to play the game. The Don’ts of Social Media Selling Join a load’s open group Facebook groups and start spamming them for sales with pre-written sales copy and simply ‘copy & paste’ this method across multiple communities. Don’t go into a group and try to scrape the group for customers and clients and attempt to get them into your own private community or off Facebook and over to your opt-in page. Don’t direct sell on social media, it doesn’t work that well and doesn’t work for every business. BEST MOMENTS “If you don’t know your niche yet, do some market research. This can be done by polling open Facebook groups and engaging with different audiences to find your ideal client but make sure you don’t sell to them.” “If you’re directing your clients away from Facebook you’ll get less reach as Facebook wants the content to stay native. But after a while, you’ll build up extra reach through Facebook’s algorithms and more awareness and then you can make your sales offer.” “For selling on social media it’s good to have a ‘lead magnet’ that entices them away from Facebook and into your database which is a more sales-driven eco-system. This could be a webinar or free content. This technique can also be done with a ‘product magnet’ for example a paid-for book, digital course or USB.” “Social media is like a forest you need to know when to cash in on the fruits of the forest but if you do it too early you’ll end up cutting all of the trees down” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Have you always thought that ‘good leaders’ are the first ones in the office and the last ones to leave? The hardest working in the team ‘leading by example?’ Well, tune in today to Rob’s Rants as he discusses why in today's era, ‘lead by example’ is really bad advice! Rob dives into how the leadership role has changed in recent years and most importantly how you too, can become a successful leader without the longest workdays KEY TAKEAWAYS When labour (hard manual work) was the main source of work than leading by example, was really good advice. However, the world has now changed, we are now in the knowledge era where leading by example is really bad advice. Rethinking the modern leader. A modern leader will know their role in their team. You need specialists in each position. Each member of your team will have their own role, meaning as a leader it is not necessary to work the hardest, show up the earliest or stay the latest because you have your one role. The paradox of leadership. The people who have the least amount of money, the least amount of free time and the least staff, they do everything. An old leader would do all the work themselves because it was a work based ethic whereas a new leader would find the best specialists, strategists, managers, etc and would put in the organisation the best people for the job. A leader is a generalist. They are good at strategy, vision knows how to put a team together, etc but they are nowhere near as good as the specialists they put in their place. An old-style manager will want to have control over everything and to oversee it, which could only work in a small, low-profit business, if you want to have a large global and successful business then you have to let go to grow. A leader isn't finding other generalists, they are finding specialists. Rethink your definition of leadership. The best leaders in the world develop other leaders. Modern leaders need peripheral vision.

What is the secret behind billionaire success? what are the traits or entrepreneurs, leaders and philanthropists? In today’s revealing episode Rob interviews International Speaker, Entrepreneur & Best Selling Author, Grant Cardone. Listen in to discover the trials and tribulations of Grant’s success, what it takes to overcome an addiction and how you too can shift your attitude away from fear and towards success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why do we need billionaires? Yeah, we need people taking the risk. People need to take more risk, people need to put themselves out there. People need to hire people. There are too many small companies in too much small thinking going on. Billionaires do pay a lot more taxes to the government than people think. The problem that people need to complain about right now is not the billionaires, because what they're saying is there's income inequality, wealth inequality, but the reality is there's education inequality. The billionaires play by a different set of rules than everybody else. You need to learn how to win in the game, don't hate anybody, don't hate the game, don't hate the player, learn the game. Can anyone become a billionaire? Yes, anyone can become a billionaire if you made, one; major decision. Number two; got the right vehicle, and three; didn't quit on it. Why do you love micromanaging? Operate your business like it's an organism that needs its vitals checked. Be the one most interested and have an eye for things that other people for whatever reason don't say. So rather than getting furious about them not doing it or not seeing it are quitting, just turn it over to them. Trust no one to do their job, tell them to show you. How much did you spend, show me? I want to see it. Have that need to want to know every detail of the important things in your company. It’s either you micromanage now or wait until the things in cardiac arrest. When you do these things, how do you want to be known? And then that might be linked to, why don't you just do one thing about real estate? I want to be known for helping people. Nobody's going to remember how much real estate, the plane I've flown or how much money I have, nobody. Nobody's ever remembered for that. Bill Gates won't be remembered for being the richest person in the world. He'll be remembered for he did something special. As a drug addict, how did you shift from that and become so successful? When there's no male figure in a family, worldwide these numbers, drug addiction, incarceration, suicides, like grades, not completing schools, every major indicator for a kid, girl or boy, when there's no father present, they get destroyed. When I was 10, my dad died, 16 I got introduced to drugs. And I didn't plan on being a drug addict. I think I went for treatment when I was 25. Between the ages of 16 and 25, nine years, I tried to quit drugs for 10 times a day for nine years. That’s when I decided to quit drugs. How do you manage your energy? How do you balance all these things that you do? Not everyone can manage their energy, not everybody takes responsibility for their energy. The thing to do is to take responsibility for the energy. I don't manage anything, I'm running controlling and I’m running the operation. Energy comes from doing what you love and being passionate about it. I would tell people to follow the money or be in a game that you are sure that you’re going to win. If the world will not reward you, if the world will not say, “Here, I want to exchange something I find valuable with something you do.” You might want to look at a different thing today because if it's valuable, people will pay you for it.

Scientology is a practical, it is not what you see in the papers, the tabloids, CNN, or the quitter on the documentary, it's for honest people, they want to take a look at their life and know they have more potential and if you believe you have more potential, what they do there is they show you ways to get rid of things that might be blocking the individual. They showed me how I can remove barriers in my life, self-imposed barriers, self-imposed destructive thinking, ideas, weird reactions I had to situations, the inhibition to talk to people, the ability to have confidence in any room or an interview or to know how to communicate. Why do you believe in Scientology? I've been interested in my whole life and who I am. Why am I either winning in life or having troubles in life? What does it take to make a marriage work? What does it take to make money work? What does it take to be happy? How can I find my purpose? Where's my energy? Scientology's helped me with all these things? What's your attitude towards fear and risk? You got to take the risk. The best way to stay out of harm's way is to be the most dangerous person in the room. BEST MOMENTS “You'd rather have bad up than perfect not.” “If you let everybody contribute to an idea, you would end up with nothing.” “Intelligence is overrated, but s

Most books tell you to ‘go for it’, ‘dream big’, ‘follow your passion’, and so on… but the thing is, these might be too dangerous of an advice for those who are just setting foot in entrepreneurship. Aspiring entrepreneurs must know the realities and learn how to be critical about them. So, in this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob discusses how to really think like an entrepreneur without the flowery and delusive whatnots you need roaming around the Web. There are only 9 things one must take note, to start and develop his entrepreneurial career. Know more about them when you listen in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wear the very opposite of the rose-tinted glasses. Optimism isn’t bad at all IF you could see what’s beneath the surface—the real problems and the severity of the situation. See an opportunity in everything. When an entrepreneur’s bombarded with tricky situations, instead of acting up, he immediately gets his thinking hat on and draw out some solutions while having to monetize at the same time. Create MORE value. An entrepreneur, even in the middle of recession, or any economical, political changes, will do everything to produce more for the consumers. When you create a product or service that people value, it’s only then that it becomes fulfilling. Create value NOW. Entrepreneurs offer their expertise without thinking much of what they’ll get. They know that their will be risk, but they also know that people trust you more when they see real outcomes. We solve, we serve, and we scale. You can start small, then grow it into an empire. Think big. Create fair exchange. As an entrepreneur, you’ll be transparent with everything that you do. Always do the right thing. Make sure that the products are fairly priced no matter what. Take calculated risks, progressive incremental risks. You can’t go all in whenever you see fit. Make sure you’re well-equipped first—educate yourself. We are producers, value-creators. Are you producing or consuming? Producers are the changemakers, the trendsetters. You’re on a mission to create a positive effect on everyone’s lives. Disrupt, innovate, repeat. It’s always a cycle in entrepreneurship. It’s difficult to control the external factors involved, so insteatting them control your progress, be the change that you want to see. Always bring new ideas on the table.

Tune in to hear the inspiring journey and impressive rise of Bestselling Author, Podcaster, Personal Trainer & Body, Brain & Business Entrepreneur, Jay Alderton. Rob and Jay discuss what it takes to navigate the world of business, how to turn your passion into your profession and how to utilise online social platforms to gain a loyal following. They go on to dive into the psychology behind why people like, comment share and follow and how you too can spark an emotion, gain customers and grow your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jay became a personal trainer whilst in debt and put everything on his credit card to open a studio. Eventually, Jay partnered with fitness brand Grenade and grew his brand. Jay’s entrepreneurial focus is on body, brain and business and as a result, his business is separated into B2B and B2C ventures including weight loss programmes, accountability programmes and personal training both online and offline, as well as helping other personal trainers and fitness entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Jay teaches them how to grab attention online, how to scale and grow digital products in the fitness space and have fun doing it. “You’re either a boat-burner or a toe-dipper. Don’t just quit your job and follow your passion, invest some time in the evenings and weekends and see if it’s a scalable business model. Additionally, you can set a 3-year plan to equal your salary through your part-time ventures and then quit your job. But when you can scale your passion and it works financially growing your business doesn’t feel like working and learning is engaging. When you’re involved in something that you love it doesn’t feel like work.” Most entrepreneurs don’t need to speed up and generate more business, they need to slow down, prioritise and systemise. You need to change your mindset from exchanging your time for money and investing to get some time back. Three things can help you start a business and grow a following when you’ve got nothing. 1. Networking & Joint-Ventures 2. Social Media content marketing & personal branding 3. Providing a service. Asking for help is a strength and not a weakness, the people you hang around with will influence how to act and react and social media is a great tool to practice your emotions and expose yourself to trolls and critics because if your more yourself you will grow as a person, create relationships and turn the people that hate you into fans. BEST MOMENTS “When you’re a personal trainer you’re everything. You’re a marketer, web-developer and everything in-between” “Unlike a physical business operating online means you’re open all hours” “When you’re passionate about the business you’re growing it doesn’t feel like working and learning is engaging. When you’re involved in something that you love it doesn’t feel like work” “I now read 3 or 4 books a month, I now just love learning and having a social media following allows me to share what I’ve learnt and simplify it for my audience.” “If you can’t explain it to six year old you haven’t learnt it yourself” “I wouldn’t be here today is I hadn’t been made redundant” “You’re either a boat-burner or a toe-dipper” “Thoughts are not your reality and reality are not your thoughts” “Word of mouth is the most powerful thing in business” “Top of mind is tip or tongue” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset With Muscle: Proven Strategies to Build Up Your Brain, Body, and Business, by Jamie Alderton Contagious Book https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Discover the 8 ways to game, prepare and prevail and nail an interview. If you want to land your dream job, succeed in interviews or just learn how to pitch better this episode is for you. Rob dives into the 8 simple ways to prepare for an interview and how you can game the system with simple tips and tricks to stand out from the crowd. KEY TAKEAWAYS How to prepare for an interview, portrait yourself incredibly well and get the job you dream of All candidates will lie - People are prepared to lie to get a job so your strategic advantage to get a job is to simply not lie. Always tell the truth and be honest about your weaknesses and mistakes and this will resonate with the employer and give them a reason to believe that you will always be honest with them moving forward. Be honest about your weaknesses - Don’t immediately re-package your weaknesses into strengths and try to spin them into a positive, we all have weaknesses and all have upsides and downsides. Your weaknesses shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for the role as long as it’s not a required strength for the position you’re applying for. Be honest about the last roles that you left - Don’t ‘bitch’ about your previous employer and give off the impression that you’ll do the same at your next company/. Don’t simply blame your previous employer for your faults, be honest and take the opportunity to be truthful when other interviewees won’t. Don’t over-talk or go off on a tangent - Answer the questions, wait and answer again. You don’t need to pitch yourself too much and go off on tangents and fill the silent gaps with ‘something’ If you don’t have an answer be honest - It’s okay not to know the answer to everything, be honest and say ‘you don’t know’ you’ll get back to help or you’ll look into it. There are 3 main areas that you need to research - 1. The company you’re going to work for 2. The role that you will be fulfilling 3. The interviewer that will be interviewing you. Ask prepare questions - When you get your chance to ask prepared and educated questions that make the interviewer think. Aim to reverse sell them “why should I come and work for you” “what will the position do for my career development” Give the interviewer the chance to sell themselves to you. Prepare a final closing statement - Aim to have a solid closing statement that encapsulates you and what you can do for the end of the interview. This is where you will sell yourself, pitch what you can do and make your big claim” BEST MOMENTS “There’s a time an a place for selling yourself, however, if you sell yourself at the expense of the truth this will damage your future working relationship with the employer.” “Don’t just package your weaknesses as strengths, for example, stating you’re a ‘perfectionist’” “Sometimes it’s best to stay quiet and allow them to answer the questions. Don’t go off on a tangent give clear and concise answers to the specific questions” “You will lose a big opportunity if you don’t research the interviewer” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Critics have a purpose in business and in life and if you can understand and embrace them it can really help your business and your growth. Listen to Rob’s surprising rant about the purpose, benefits, gifts and growth of having critics, trolls and haters. Discover the hidden lessons in criticism and how your critics are actually your biggest drivers of growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose, benefits, gifts and growth of having critics. Everything that you think is unfair you’ve probably done to someone else/ Everything that you don’t like is based on your own values and not theirs. It’s wise to remember that the traits that you dislike in others we have in ourselves. A lot of critics are just lashing out, they’re emotional and seeking attention as a result of something in their lives. A wonderful thing to do is to be kind to people when they’re being unkind. It’s important to remember that they are not unkind people they are just acting unkindly. If you understand your critics and realise that they are acting emotionally you can help to serve them and even help them and turn them into a customer. When you get criticised the only thing you’re really interested in is your own emotions and overcoming them. The greatest gift you can give to the critics is also the best gift for yourself. If you can ‘let go of it’ you will have a better mindset and mind space. In reality, you’re the one who’s suffering when you react to how a critic ha reacted to you. Growth is found on the border of support and challenge. When you have a critic that is a challenge but as a result, your fans will support you so you have an equilibrium. You need to have both otherwise you will get complacent, cocky and arrogant or be broken. You need to be careful where you invest your time. If you invest too much of your time addressing critics, trolls and haters your business may suffer so be wise with how you respond. Your critics give you the best lessons., your critics help you to search, grow and look internally when you’re balanced and help you ask yourself about growth. Critics are also great for your marketing algorithms, a critic will help you grow the best by engaging with your social posts and content posts. BEST MOMENTS “The more your business grows and the more money you make the more critics and trolls you will attract.” “The lowest form of marketing is to criticise others to elevate yourself”“Hurt, people, hurt people” “It’s ironic that the critics don’t like being criticised” “Forgiveness is about you letting go of all of the emotion and anger” “Kill them with kindness” “Critics are reaching out for attention, likes, respect, followers and fans. But the reality is you are too.” “When you block a critic you will just manifest another one. You need to overcome them” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

There is no other way to go, but up! In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob Talks to Ben Askren, a pro MMA fighter and pro Olympic wrestler, about fighting, dealing with haters, and stepping up your game. If you’re like Ben who cringes on the idea of mediocrity and repeating failures, then you’re at a good start. Discover how you can improve more at whatever chosen field you’re in as he shares his personal stories, career downturns (to stray away from), and some great book recommendations. They also talk about how you can manage the external factors that affect your career journey above all else, so tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Ben saw that everyone around him was better in what he does (i.e. wrestling), he stepped up his game. Knowing just the basic styles won’t even give him a podium finish, so he learned everything that he could possibly learn. He wanted to win every wrestling match and be at par with the pros. Most likely, there’s someone out there who has been in the same (or similar) situation as you. It would be such a waste on your time if you try to solve things on your own. Observe and learn from other people’s experience (and mistakes). In this way, we avoid setbacks and grow exponentially. There will always be a fear of failure—it’s part of being a human. So, how do we cope? Acknowledge that it will happen, plan better, and get thrilled of whatever the results are. When asked about he deals with critics, bashers, and naysayers, Ben advises showing people some love. He also adds that during a child’s formative years, it’s best that parents and guardians give them the push they need. They should be told about how immense can their future be, how great can they be, when they put their knowledge and capabilities to good use.

In this episode Rob takes his several years of experience and knowledge of being a disruptive entrepreneur and explains the traits he’s also often recognised with people who are also disruptive entrepreneurs. These 10 traits are discussed by Rob and why he believes they are traits of these types of entrepreneurs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most disruptive entrepreneurs are impatient and hate things being slow. This also includes not liking internal politics and hierarchy. But this can be good as it means you’re first to market. They’re prepared to be wrong in order to be right, often learning from their mistakes. Many consider these type of entrepreneurs to be ‘crazy’ which means they get a kick out of having unproven ideas. But these people make the impossible, possible. They’re prepared to not be liked and loathed in order to be admired and respected. If you want to disrupt then you’re going to have to have people dislike you on the way. They often cause chaos and disorder because they change and are impulsive. Entrepreneurs who are disruptive are also often visionaries so are able to tell the future before it’s happened because they can create their future. They’re prepared to fail often and fast because they tend to have a testing mentality where they get their product out as soon as possible without having it made perfect first. This could mean that there are often less worried about risk. It’s common that disruptive entrepreneurs are delusional because they often believe that they can do things that everyone else deems as impossible. They expect and believe that they can draw more out of people than others can. So they deem a lot more things to be possible than a lot of others, often leading them to believe that they can do more than what they can’t do. BEST MOMENTS ‘Every upside has a downside’. ‘Speed often wins’. ‘Always be live testing your products’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

There are a lot of people out there that criticise other people, brands and businesses to elevate or grow their own brand or business. Rob explains in this episode the importance of not lashing out and not using criticism to grow your brand and business. Instead he discusses how you can use criticism in a positive way and why it’s important to know how to criticise. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you spend time and energy criticising others then you can expect to receive that back. The marketing you put out will reflect back on you. E.g. If you lash out at others, others will lash out at you’. If you focus on your own brand, mission and message then you’re going to attract people who have that similar mindset as you. It’s not an attractive quality to bitch and criticise other people even if it’s therapeutic. So think about who you want to be and how you want to be known. If you do want or need to criticise then do it in a fair, balanced, accurate, non-emotional and constructive way. Try have 30 days not criticising others.

Are the things we do really that hard? What would you do if you knew you were going to fail anyway? These are just some of the questions today’s interviewee, the multi-millionaire founder of Spartan & Death Race, Joe DeSena asked himself when growing the worlds leading obstacle race. Today it’s easier than ever before to start, grow and scale a business if you know what you’re doing and you’re passionate about you will succeed you just need to find your ‘True North”. Discover the success behind Spartan Race, what it takes to merge your passion and profession and the business lessons learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Spartan is in 45 countries running over 275 events with 1.3million people taking part each year and over 6.5million completing a race since we started. The business makes revenue from merchandise, revenue, sponsorship and nutrition. However, the big hole in our business is training, a Spartan gym or physical training course so we’re looking to work with partners to launch this. “We invented hard when it comes to modern-day events sp we went back to basics and threw the hammer down and really showed people what hard is but the race is more than just a race, it’s hard but everyone that completed it transformed their lives. In life, you only meet yourself when your backs against the wall and in a strenuous situation you find out what you’re made of.” Most people are waiting for their purpose to find them but you need to be active and moving in order to find your purpose and make it your profession. If you’re moving and get things done you will bump into things and opportunities will happen and you’ll discover that changing people’s lives and help people out is much more valuable than money. True North is finding that thing that’s going to pull you through life and this can change. In the beginning, your True North could be money but for myself and Spartan now my True North is changing people’s lives and now I’m actually trying to measure my business’s success by how many lives we change. As long as you’re putting yourself in the right location over and over again you’ll make your own luck and to the untrained eye, it looks like you’re just lucky. However, with Spartan I wasn’t actually looking for a new business I just wanted to put on a race but I ran it into debt and I realised that the entrepreneurs that succeed are the ones that have no choice, their backs against the wall and they need to make a change. If you’re looking to start a business don’t get distracted, If you’re going to do something do it, don’t only offer your new venture 10% of your time because if you do that you deserve to lose money. Additionally, you need to gain the right knowledge and you need to know how to hustle in order to be creative. Business Lessons Always be on time. Make yourself invaluable as a service provider and go above and beyond. Never have your hand out asking for money, if you do a good job the money will find you. Make your customers your best friends. Be authentic and be passionate about your business. Have a great name.

Something that the majority of people experience is having a job and it’s imposed upon you when you finish when you can do things and when you can’t do things. Many people share the same dream of being their own boss and not having anyone tell them what they have to do. But when it comes to actually 'starting' their own business they tend to find them stuck in a day, which leads to missing the structure of having a full time job. In this episode Rob explains how you can overcome this. KEY TAKEAWAYS Something that the majority of people experience is having a job and it’s imposed upon you when you finish, when you can do things and when you can’t do things. Many people share the same dream of being their own boss and not having anyone tell them what they have to do.

So many people say this isn't fair, that's not fair, it's not fair but fairness is based on merit. Do something about it. In this episode, Rob explains how whining, complaining and bitching about how things aren't fair can have a negative impact on your life and how you can overcome things that you may not feel is fair. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you complain, bitch and whine about things not being fair then you're not being productive. People mostly do what they want to do not what you want them to do.

Bodybuilding Coach, Entrepreneur, Mentor & Best Selling Author, Phil Graham Do you want to be inspired to achieve your goals and dreams, overcome adversity and build a successful business turning your passion into your profession? In today’s episode Rob interviews, bodybuilding coach, entrepreneur, mentor and best selling author of diabetic muscle and fitness guide, Phil Graham. Rob and Phil discuss what it takes to be successful in business and in life, how to overcome objections and build communities that help and serve the public. Tune in and listen to Phil share his life story, things he could control, lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and what it took for him to build a successful business and allow him to live longer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wealth and business side of personal training - Its a really dense market, more people overweight therefore a large demand for the service. People who go to the gym and fall in love with it often decide they want to create a business for it. The big difference between passion and creating a business. Many people are good at the technical aspects but not on the business side of things. So many personal trainers become overwhelmed with the business aspect as they don’t have a vision for the future and focus on week to week and exchanging time for money. Phil was then inspired to write a book called the diabetic muscle fitness guide which is the world’s best selling book on diabetes and muscle building. Created a large society of people with diabetes who wanted to train and build muscle. Many young entrepreneurs think of the financial goals when it comes to business but take not consideration into their own long term vision. Master areas by learning. Phil had a plan and was methodical in his thinking and he learned that to become accountable, sometimes the action has to be a little bit blind. Many entrepreneurs become scared to let their businesses go for fear of it messing up, someone once said to him, “you cannot lead an inspiring life if you do not delegate” many people fail as they feel that their losing money by delegating or that it won’t be done to their standards. The importance of having strong relationships outside of work, He and his wife are supporting each other by having a ‘huddle’ each morning to discuss outcomes for the day and expectations from each other in terms of their needs, and end the day with finding out their learnings from the day. A powerful quote that stood out “your thoughts are not reality, the reality is not your thoughts” in triggering moments, it is easy to ignore and perhaps look at social media as escapism. When he finds himself in triggering moments, the first thing he does is to say an affirmation to himself and ask what is this teaching you? What can you control and what can you not control? Have good internal frameworks and questioning to get yourself out of the emotional state, when you’re really emotional the intelligence is low. BEST MOMENTS “I’m a big believer in asking himself questions at the end of the day, how did the day go, what did you learn?” “Successful people I’ve met, they take action and they ask for help.” “I needed a kick in the ass to get into shape” “With new-found knowledge I was able to build a great physique and found a love for bodybuilding, won many shows whilst competing and found happiness” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.phil-graham.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Diabetic-Muscle-Fitness-Guide/dp/0995762201 https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Building online communities is one of the most effective things now days to help build a successful business. People like to be in groups and clubs who share the same interests. In this episode Rob explains the importance of staying of new opportunities with the ever evolving technology. He also covers why building communities is a great way of selling. KEY TAKEAWAYS You could have all of your target market, audience and potential JV partners in one community that you’re the leader of. Often when you’re selling it’s one to one however if your build a community you can sell to a large group of people who are already interested in what you’re selling. Having a community can also mean that there’s less pressure on you as the owner to provide all of the content, do all of the admin, do the prospecting and lead generation because other people can do this. Getting likeminded people together is very special because it’s so powerful. It can be a movement and revolution provided you have a clear set of guidelines and rules that everyone must follow. You serve to sell rather than sell to sell when you have a community which Rob prefers as there’s less friction when selling. Email marketing has got a lot less popular, and with all of the new GDPR rules, a lot harder. So if you have a community then you’ve got something that is a lot warmer where you can communicate to people. The ever evolving technology and platforms means that you have a new fresh opportunity to be the first of something. You can use multiple platforms to create your community too.

Instead of hating the critics, the trolls, the haters and the naysayers, love them! Yes, they can get into your nerves and trigger you to lash out—which can lead to the destruction of your reputation—but you should start appreciating their existence more. If you can get way past through the emotional downpour its causing, such criticisms can be really good for you. They can be great key points to look (or not look at) if you want improvement in yourself and in your business. Rob discusses more about the good and the bad of criticism for entrepreneurs, in the most NO BS way, in this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, so tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Learn how to manage criticisms that you receive. If you’re too hostile with everything that’s being thrown at you, then you leave no room for improvement. People have different approaches on how they tackle an idea presented to them. Some are just sceptical, some just know that there’s more that you can offer, and some just want to see your bad side first before even trusting you. How you take these feedback and reactions is what will mark with them. Don’t get triggered. Don’t lash out. Don’t react primarily with your emotions.

There’s no such thing as a good idea. It’s in the process of discovering why it’s a bad idea that you realise what might work and you begin to experiment. In today’s episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur Rob interviews serial tech entrepreneur, advisor, speaker, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Marc Randolph. In this insightful interview, Marc shares the untold story of Netflix, the mindset needed to cultivate ideas into companies and how you too can take action and start your own entrepreneurial journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS How was the idea for Netflix born? - In 1997 when I was my company was acquired I was left with about 6 months to invest myself into starting a new company and Reed Hastings was the angel investor and we began brainstorming ideas. We had hundreds of ideas and finally landed a DVD by mail business. Usually, a good idea is indistinguishable from a good idea until you do the research. We had to come up with a new model to attract and acquire customers. No due date and no late fees had never really been done before. But we were terrified that Blockbuster would move online, if they had, they would have crushed us. They were a 6 billion dollar business, now a lot of success is down to the skill of the entrepreneur, but it’s also down to the lucky breaks and Netflix certainly had a lot of lucky breaks. ‘That will never work’ book by Marc Randolph - was originally supposed to be called ‘nobody knows anything’ inspired by a quote about Hollywood and that face none knows the success of something before it’s launched and this is very much true about start-ups and for Netflix. The title ‘That will never work’ is born from the idea that often people with ideas do not pursue them because of the opinions of others but in reality, none knows, you will only know if you try it and find out for yourself. The book is really the untold story of Netflix and what it takes to start a company. Two steps to starting a successful company You need to have a propensity to take action - A lot of people with great ideas overcomplicate them in their head before starting and make it so complicated they cannot start. As an entrepreneur It’s not about how clever you are, it’s about creatively you can start as quickly and cheaply as possible. Focus and triage - It’s so powerful to put all of your efforts into a singular thing rather than trying to accomplish lots. However, at the same time, you need to have the intuition to know where to focus as it’s rarely the thing that screams the loudest. In the early stages of a company other two things matter, money and customers. A lot of entrepreneurs focus on the peripheral things that just do not matter in the beginning. How important is speed to growing a company - Speed doesn’t matter if you’re product or service isn’t right. Netflix was domestic for a very long time because we wanted to get our business model right and we saw a lot of competitors try to launch too quickly. However, learning quickly is very important. Do not waste time polishing things but be efficient and make sure you get it right. Being the first to market doesn’t count for anything if you have poor execution, it’s important to test and with today’s technology you can test your ideas much easier. How can you help people action their ideas - You need to train yourself to look for pain. Aim to seem the world as an imperfect place and all of a sudden you will have ideas flood to you. Ask yourself what’s frustrating, what would happen if? How could I try that? And to try it, but not in a scalable way just try it by testing the market. The ONLY way of figuring out if you have a good idea is to try it. You will only know when your idea collides with a consumer. What does Disruptive mean to you? - is a different way of doing things, it’s a dramatic departure from the norm. In the Netflix case, there was an established way of watching video in your home. We believe there was a better way of doing this. Many models in all businesses are being disrupted and you need to ensure you also disrupt yourself. BEST MOMENTS “A great idea is like finding the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle” “There’s no such thing as a good idea. It’s in the process of discovering why it’s a bad idea that you realise what might work and you begin to experiment” “There were a thousand different zigzags in the Netflix story” “When we thought of movie rental by mail we didn’t immediately write a business plan, we tested it first” “Netflix was not a pre-ordained success. In the beginning, it was a scrappy start-up. There were dozens of times we almost went out of business” “When companies are more established and mature they have more to lose and as a result, they play it safe, they often opt against new technologies and emerging markets.” “I almost never put my own money into a start-up because I’m putting my time in and that’s way more valuable” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES That will never work - Marc Randolph

People often perceive people screwing them over in the wrong way especially when people become competitors. If you hold people back from becoming your competitor then you’re never going to be able to train other people to run your business so you can scale up. In this episode Rob explains 7 things you can do to retain people and reduce the number of people who will screw you over. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand the values of your team and give them things that will motivate them using your knowledge of their values. E.g. allowing them to leave early to pick up their kids. Find this out by simply asking them what is most important to them in their life. Meet their individual employment/partnership needs, everyone’s will be different. E.g. some people want to learn as they earn. Find out what each member of your teams is and help them to get that. Have a strong vision so people stay motivated and everyone has an end goal. It also gives people a reason to do what they’re doing, giving them a why. This can help to make your team feel like they are all well connected. PROGRESSION, RECOGNITION and AUTOMANY. What’s the next step for your team members? Give them the recognition publically and privately for their achievements. No one wants to be micromanaged so let them do what they need to do in their own way. Find great people, give them slightly too much to do then get out of their way to go do it. Have a good contract so all bases are covered and there is no lack of clarity. Train your team to the best as you can and if they do choose to leave and become competition, don’t stay angry at them even though it can be very annoying. Don’t burn your bridges with them as you could then have the credibility that you trained them. Help your team enjoy what they do. If people enjoy being around you, being part of your team and coming into work then they’re going to stay for longer. They do say that when the fun stops, stop. So don’t stop the fun. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to let go to grow’ ‘If you don’t train your staff to be the best, your business will never be the best.’ ‘Recognition goes a long way.’ ‘Why have a dog and bark yourself?’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Make yourself vulnerable and don’t be scared to become the student again. Create some fear - You cannot sit and wait and get comfortable waiting for tomorrow. You need to create some fear and accountability that scares you and forces you to take action. Give yourself an ultimatum and change your mindset. Try new stuff - Test and make mistakes, learn from what you do and become more experimental. Aim to test, review, tweak, repeat and scale. If you don’t see what’s out there you might not discover what’s out there and what you’re passionate about. Don’t get too uncomfortable - Aim to be progressively uncomfortable not aggressively uncomfortable.

Leverage the skills of others to get more done in less. Look for joint-ventures and partnerships to grow your business using the best people in the right places. You don’t always have to do everything yourself. Be honest with what you’re scared of - We’re all scared of something and that’s a big reason why we’re lazy, Whether it’s shame, ego, failure or other peoples judgement you need to overcome them, embrace them and realise that these emotions are simply human. Ask for help - Sometimes it’s as simple as asking someone to help. When you’re lazy and comfortable sometimes you just need a helping hand to get out of your situation and to push you onto a path towards your goals and dreams. Find the right routine - Create a new routine that is disciplined and makes you accountable. You need to isolate yourself from distractions, turn off social media and stick to a routine that helps you get 5-10 times more done in the same amount of time. Focus on the tasks you’re passionate about, your income generating tasks and look to outsource where you can.

Whether your an entrepreneur or employee building your business you need to understand the value of a good workplace culture, how to disrupt internally and how to become a leader. Today, Rob gets interviewed by the host of the Lead with Levity podcast for progressive business leaders on the forefront of employee experience and workplace culture, Dr Heather Walker. Together they discuss the concept of levity with a business, bean bag culture vs corporate culture and why humanising the workplace and staying humble are essential to success and the growth of your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Manager Vs Leader There is a huge difference between a manager and a leader. When you’re starting out your vision is everything and you don’t have to compromise, however when you begin to take on staff and create a culture your vision needs to involve them and include their careers and growth. This is essential to motivating staff and creating a positive workplace culture. Leadership is inspiring those to follow you and join you on a journey. Management is policies, onboarding, training documents, targets, sickness policies etc. Three components of levity: Amusement - Fun & enjoyment Bouncy - A positive atmosphere Edification - A constructive environment to work How Is The Culture In Your Business? We never wanted a corporate structure at Progressive, we wanted to be very flat with our layers of management, never have an organisational chart and push a bean bag culture. However, as you grow and you get bigger you do need a more corporate structure. Ultimately your businesses culture depends on the size of your business. What we did find out was once we put in one layer of management everything changed. We had to become more official. We had a really great culture when we had around 7 or 8 people. We had a family culture, a chaotic approach and an open door policy. This can be met with friction from staff but ultimately you need systems and processes in order to grow and become a real business. How Do You Keep Levity In Your Business As You Grow? The key is having a core set of values that you live and breathe. You can still be a personal company as you grow and you become a bigger company. We created our values with our staff and together refined our culture and values and make sure that we look after our staff. As an entrepreneur, you think that people work for you, but in reality no one works for you, ever. They work for themselves and you just happen to be paying them. They come to work to pay for their expenses and to facilitate their lifestyle. As an entreprneur, you need to realise that you work for your employees and when you do this you will create a good workplace culture. If levity could change one thing in the world what would it be? When people start their businesses they take themselves far too seriously. I believe you should take your work very seriously but yourself not too seriously. Love your art, love your mission, do the best you can but be a light individual and manage your emotions, simply try to have fun and be humble.

Learn – Test – Tweak – Review – Repeat This is Rob Moore’s 5-step model on how he gets things done. Easy to recite… but is it easy to follow? In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, he gives an in-depth explanation of how this works for entrepreneurs like him. It isn’t linear; it’s strategic and cyclical, in a good way. There will always be difficulties in every situation, and this model recognises this. It teaches you to be adaptable, resourceful, and calculated as you go along your journey. And, to make things easier (for you to take mental notes and apply them ASAP!), Rob made it more concise—discover today the 10 actionable ways on how to get things done. You can now listen to this, today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everything’s a test. And it’s not wise to test something without even learning it beforehand. Stop labelling what you’re doing with hefty words (i.e. life-changing), you’re less likely to do it. Don’t put TOO MUCH pressure on yourself. Get a mentor or be in a mastermind. Learning it on your own or as you go through your own process is not the best way to go. Why don’t you approach someone who has gone through the same path? At least, he’ll tell you what to do and not do. Be accountable. Stick with your deadlines so you can easily achieve your goal. Stop letting yourself and other people down. Embrace your fears. You can’t ignore or run from them. Fear is a good thing as it keeps you grounded along your pursuit. Always keep going despite its existence. Accept and collect rejection. Rejections are good motivators as they give us the most valuable lesson that we need to plan our next step. Put yourself out there. Build your online profile, attend events that could give you a chance to a network, and share your expertise. Compartmentalise and isolate. It’s easier to finish your tasks if you allow a certain time in your schedule and a certain place to do it with no delays and interruptions. Manage your energy well. Your high energy can help you excel in the important tasks, so learn how and where you want to use that energy. Reward yourself. BEST MOMENTS “To know what to do and not do is to not know.” “All learning and not doing is not ideal.” “Managing your energy is managing your life.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

No one makes you do, say or feel anything. You own of all of that and you are responsible for these things. In this episode, rob covers 9 useful tips on how you can deal with people who may be negative or are draining on your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS You cant control how or where someone delivers feedback so accept the way they’ve done it and learn from it. Peoples ability to take feedback even when it’s not delivered very well is emotional, business and life mastery. Maybe you’re a bit too optimistic and positive and need your feet kept on the ground. Recognise that sometimes other people being like this can balance you and keep you grounded. Even if someone’s in a bad mood, they can’t affect how you feel unless you give them permission to. Their suck of energy is less than your give of energy. Don’t let anyone put your fire out. Sometimes when someone’s a real drain with huge emotional baggage and constantly plays the victim them get rid of them out of your life or minimize your time with them. But be aware that there’s a difference between someone being negative and a critic. Annoy the critics and sceptics with your enthusiasm and positivity. You can let so much stuff go, you cant control anyone so let it go. It can be a real challenge of your own mindset to deal positively with negative energy. So it’s good to see it as abit of a test of your ability to keep your energy high. Don’t get sucked into all of these debates and things that will drain your energy. Sometimes when people are down and are a bit of a drain of life then, if you care enough about them enough, you can try to help them. Some people have a lot of bad things going on in their lives so it could be them trying to reach out to you. BEST MOMENTS “Always look for the lesson in how people deliver feedback” “Take away the way someone delivers their feedback.” “Their mood can’t affect your mood without your permission.” “The person with the best energy wins” “Thank them then fu*k off” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Disruptive entrepreneur Rob Moore interviews, Secret Millionaire and Dragons Den investor, experience lawyer, investment banker and fund management manger, Piers Linney to discuss what entrepreneurs are, how they operate and how to raise money if you are just starting up. Get expert advice on how to pitch, how to grow a small business, what marketing works in today's market and much, much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Small business owner and entrepreneur is not the same thing. If you've got a corner shop, or you're a freelancer, or you got a small business and it makes 20, 30, 40 grand a year and the chance of going outside of that are pretty slim, you don't want to hire anybody else, you want it to be your thing, you are not an entrepreneur, entrepreneur is about taking risks in the hope of profit. Somebody that may have an existing business and they look to grow that business. Entrepreneurship is also a mindset as well as a definition. Like having ideas, being creative, being maybe a little bit relentless, you push for more having multiple businesses, you sit on more than one board and you put your finger in a few businesses. There's a spirit of entrepreneurship. Who is the right person to become an entrepreneur? You don’t have to be born a leader or an entrepreneur, you can learn these skills, you can put the people around you to make sure that you fill all those sorts of skills gap so you can become a more rounded entrepreneur. How to get funding during a start-up. You can get money from borrowing your friends and family members. You can also get the money by getting loans from financial institutions like banks. You can also pitch your ideas to entrepreneurs and see if you can partner with them and raise the money together. Pitching. To people you don’t know, you have to bring out your A-Game when pitching to them so that they can be carried away by the pitch and agree to fund your project. Ask yourself these questions, why would someone want to invest in your project? Why would someone buy your product? What are the key elements of a really good pitch? The important thing about a really good pitch is to understand where you are and who you're pitching to. Do thorough research on what you want to pitch, do your homework well. You must be a good communicator. Knowledge and skills. The business that you are entering into or starting, do you have the right skills to do it and be successful, have you invested your time and money in trying to learn what this business entails? You need to be educated with the right skills for you to succeed in that business. Marketing. If you ever want your business to grow a lot more, you have to market your business or product through advertisements. You can hire someone with these kinds of skills to market your product and be sure that this will increase your sales very much. When you leverage social media, you can reach more customers quicker than ever. People moan about social media, but you can reach millions of people and you don't even have to pay. Facebook is free. LinkedIn is free. Of course, it depends on your product or service. You can't be a personal brand if you haven't got a product or service or a brand or a story that young people have a story to tell. That's where you sell more. What is scale up? Scale-up is any business that has the ambition to grow. So that means that if you're making two million this year, next year you want to be making seven million, next year 15 million and so on. Can you work hard and smart and have a balanced life that you still have time for your family? Yes, you can. As long as your mental health and physical health are balanced, in that you're going to gym, you're generating ideas in your head and implementing them in your business and making money, you can put aside some amount of money and go out on a vacation with your family and have some fun. Mentorship. As an entrepreneur, you need to have at least one mentor or more because there’s always a time where you are in need of a good professional advice or a hurting truth that maybe you don’t want to here or other people are afraid to tell you that might help you in shaping up your business or implement an idea that you have. Mentors help you to make very informed decisions on what you are about to do. If people refuse to fund you, should you give up? No, send the pitch out, have negative feedback or no feedback and keep sending out the same thing. Go look at it and see if they missed a point and if you can clarify that it and change your presentation and iterative constantly. What is a successful business? This is when your employees are happy, your teams happy, and the customers are happy because, with this, you're more likely to be successful. BEST MOMENTS "No company starts up to be a start-up, you start to create a sustainable financial model, a product or service that solves a problem, people are willing to pay a price for and you can deliver that product or service at a lower cost,

Ever encountered a troll or a basher online? These people might not be new to any entrepreneur’s social media accounts. They frequent the comments section and say the rude and most judgmental things. But, being reactive when dealing with this kind of situation won’t do you any good. In the latest episode, Rob teaches you how to deal with these kinds of negative people. And, the truth is you can’t really turn your back fully from some negative people because they might be even your loved ones! Rob advises you on how you can distance yourself and remain focused to your goals if this happens. Also, there are people who you think are ‘negative’ but the truth is they aren’t. Learn how to distinguish what and who can be helpful to you. Discover more about this when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS The only people you need to distance yourself from are the people who gets satisfaction from seeing you fail and the people who don’t support your goals in life. Sometimes, they might be your loved ones so it will be challenging. You can limit the time you spend with them and avoid talking about your career or business to them, as much as possible. Separate the bashers from the critics. Don’t give any voice to the bashers and listen to your critics. Most likely, critics take notice to the people and brands they’re interested in. These people who offer you constructive feedback meant to see you improve more, so toughen up and learn to manage your reactions. When engaging with people online, select only who can be your prospect or who can help you better your products and services. There is no use spitting fire with online trolls; don’t get affected with BEST MOMENTS “Surround yourself with all types of people.” “If you’re surrounded with negative energy, that can drag your down.” “People reacting negatively to you is not really them reacting TO you.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this world mental health day special, Rob covers the 7 tops tips for improving your mental health and how to deal with your struggles and trials of modern life. Rob reminds us that often, there are people that have it worse and we should have gratitude for what we have, but also to not be too hard on ourselves and appreciate the successes we have had in business and personal life, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. KEY TAKEAWAYS •It is okay to ask for help •Everyone struggles, despite how they appear to the world. They could be smiling but are actually crying inside. Your idols are as nervous about doing well day to day as you are. Successful people have experienced the struggle to get where they are today. •You should celebrate even the smallest of goals, not just the big wins •The personality you put out to the world is the kind of person you will attract back. If you are putting out a fake you, you will attract people who aren't being true to themselves either. •Trolls & haters' comments reflect more about them than they do about you. •We're all human- forgive yourself for feeling down or making mistakes. BEST MOMENTS “Arnold Schwarzenegger is just a normal guy, and I’m standing there looking at him like he’s my all-time hero. Me and him are exactly the same.” “If I’m pedestalising someone, I should equally balance that with the things I’ve done well” “You've probably achieved more than you think if you go back and look at all the things you’ve done in your life”. “A lot of people have an unrealistic expectation of how well they should be doing” “Every human being that’s alive has a purpose for humanity- a greater purpose understood by a bigger intelligence than ourselves otherwise we wouldn’t exist” “It’s not a weakness to ask for help” “The definition of wealth is wellbeing” “People react negatively toward you- not at you but at the shit going on in their life” “All those swans that are elegant above the water are screaming and kicking like everyone else under the water” “The darkness does become the light, unfortunately, the light sometimes becomes the darkness”.

Like the dark side of the Force, the negative energy brought by some factors can sway an entrepreneur’s mindset. There are the bashers, the mistakes, the failures, the fears, the limitations, and other things. In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob talks to Ryan Pinnick, the Founder & CEO of SuperGenius Ltd. Rob and Ryan discuss the importance of having a stable and undefeatable mindset. An entrepreneur can be at an advantage and most probably be more successful if he knows his way to managing his own emotions and behaviour. Every move, every reaction, can affect the next plans. Yes, this can be likened to a domino effect. So, as much as possible, know how you can harness an extreme energy for the better where you can benefit yourself and the surrounding people. Ryan shares some techniques on how you can train your mind into doing it today, so don’t miss this insightful conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS In Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich, he shared that the ultimate reason people fail is because of their inability to transform negative energy (sadness, shame, frustration, anger, etc.)into something valuable. Learn to master your positive and negative tensions, so you can be mindful of your behaviour, your reactions, your language, etc. when you encounter something on the extremes. Focus on the more important things (i.e. your purpose) rather than your emotions. Know how to sway from self-loathing and self-pity and direct your attention to a creative idea, a nurturing place, or a happy memory where you can transmute the negative energy. Before you react, understand your emotions. Do nothing in a whim that you will regret afterwards. Sometimes, when we’re feeling too low or too high in our emotions, reactions become automatic. Breathe first, take a break, and start thinking of the actions you’re about to take. Self-awareness goes a long way. What are you feeling? What form does it want to be released? How can you transform it to something better? When you’ve mastered self-awareness, you don’t take things personally and you see every external factor that might have affected the situation. You understand it more. It’s not always rainbows and unicorns when you traverse your entrepreneurial journey. There will be a lot of failures and mistakes even how prepared you are. As much as possible, learn how to disassociate yourself with the negative energies this brings and to focus instead on the ultimate goal. “Happiness is the reward, not the purpose.” Always aim to grow and improve yourself. Continue learning and continue giving value. Enjoy the small victories. Gratitude and appreciation to everything that happens in your journey can motivate you to hustle more towards your end goal. BEST MOMENTS “It’s good to have a perspective on what can happen potentially on the downsides.” “Tension’s got to go somewhere.” “You can’t deny your emotions.” “As we create a way out of pain, we actually can take more pain on.” “Challenge creates growth.” “Don’t wish it were easier; get better!” “As an entrepreneur, essentially, what we do is we find the world’s biggest problems and we solve them for profit.” “If it gets difficult, just keep going.” “The purpose of life is growth and self-actualisation.” ABOUT THE GUEST Ryan Pinnick is the CEO & Founder of SuperGenius, a training and mentoring provider based in the UK and have been running workshops since 2015. Aside from this, he’s also a professional speaker and trainer for entrepreneurs.

“I believe you can grow too fast, if you’re just obsessed about growth, things will break” Growing your business empire is a goal for most entrepreneurs, but how do you do this successfully? In this episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob discusses Growth. He discloses his top tips on how to grow your company's success as well as discussing common shortfalls of how attempting growth can fail. Listen today to find out more about how to grow your company. KEY TAKEAWAYS REDUCE YOUR RISKS- Collaborate. Reduce your risks in the testing phase or growing your company. Progressive is looking to expand globally. Test by using a partner, they will have their own contacts, their own resources. That way, I don’t create overheads, I don’t create fixed costs and I don’t really have much risks. I am a big believer in collaborations, I know a hugely successful events company, and I always wondered how they consistently filled out huge events. I then found out they have a central company in America, and then what they do they find the big promoters in the countries and they partner with that promoter. They have one hub and they have global partnerships, that dramatically reduce your risks. If you’re in property, just see every new purchase, builder or mortgage as a test. Then, when you find a good one, do everything you can to keep them and that partnership. PUSHING GROWTH- Capacity How far do you push growth? I think this depends on your personality, your available resources, experience, your systems, your capacity your capital resources, human resources, etc. There is no hard and fast rule. You want to build a good sense of self-awareness. What is your capacity for what you can take on? There is a really fine line between being on fire and being overwhelmed. Growth forces you to improve your systems, improve your mindset. Sometimes, being pushed too much is fine, but I think you have to test the capacity of what breaks. What is your previous experience? For example, if you have never bought a buy to let before, how do you know how many you can handle? I have business mentors that have a mindset ‘don’t hire anybody until something breaks’ I would have other people that would argue ‘hire in first, so things don’t break’. A common entrepreneurial trait is to never say no. This is both a blessing and a curse. Remember, when you get to maximum capacity, you need to learn when to say no. WHAT IS YOUR END GOAL? What do you want from this business? Some people want a lifestyle business, they want a passive, recurring income. They want to work from their laptops for a few hours a week. If this is your goal, you must learn to say no. You have to slow growth down. If you want to be an active entrepreneur, you may have just a year to replace your income. You have the time and desire to hustle hard you can then take on a lot more. It is the continual building of self-awareness to know what your limits are. CONTACTS You have to build your contacts. If you have three really good brokers, you can probably buy a few deals simultaneously, if you have never used one before, then you have to go through the pain of finding one. If you have refurb teams, that you can entrust to run multiple contacts simultaneously then you can handle the capacity to do multiple refurbs at one. If you’ve not got this, then you would be unable to do this. Growing your contacts will grow your business. CAPITAL The available capital that you have to spend on growing your business will reflect the growth. If you have more than enough capital, you can scale a bit quicker. If you do not have this, then the growth phase will take longer. BEST MOMENTS “Some people often say that in order for businesses to be successful they have to be ever-growing, I'm not sure I agree with that” “I believe you can grow to fast” “if you’re just obsessed about growth, things will break” “Growth forces you to improve your systems, improve your capacity, your mindset.” “find and hire smart people to give them a little bit too much to do and then get out of their way and let them do it” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

‘Why would you not live an extraordinary life over an ordinary life when you have the choice?’ Rob is interviewing David McCourt, billionaire businessman described by ‘The Economist’ as having ‘impeccable credentials’ Over the last thirty years he has founded multiple successful companies and is one of the world’s most successful award-winning entrepreneurs with an Emmy award and a personal worth in excess of 1 billion. They discuss inspirational films, books, money, motivation and why David is only just getting started. This is an incredibly inspiring and motivational episode with huge value, you will want to listen to it more than once get started now! KEY TAKEAWAYS Money There are so many other more interesting things you can do with your money than buy stuff People have stuff because they want you to believe they are rich, smart, powerful and handsome. You could use your money to start a business, grow a business, help a charity to get started, help someone else, start a business or buy land and give it to conservation. My attitude towards money and wealth hasn’t changed over time. I know a lot more now about life and business relationships, what I want to accomplish in my life and what I don’t want to waste my time on. It’s important to recognise that lots of people don’t have money so if you do you have no right to squander it you should use it to build value and solve problems create jobs You should try to move the ball down the field for other people. Entrepreneurship For years incremental thinking was enough but now things are moving so fast we need a total rethink to solve problems. Don’t be afraid of failing because your ‘plan B’ will be better than your ‘plan A’ Your ‘plan B’ by definition will be more successful than your ‘plan A’ because you already know what not to do. If you want to be an entrepreneur you can’t be afraid of what others think and say you’ve got to always be moving forward and never back. Strength and weakness In everything, the focus is on improving areas of weakness but the statistical data that suggests you can only make marginal improvements to your areas of weakness but you can improve in your areas of strength almost infinitely. The system finds it easier to put everyone in the same box and this results in lots of people who look and sound the same. Everyone is good at something and that something is what the individual should focus on not worrying about the things they are not good at and improvement can be almost infinite. The media There are now so many content distributers it’s a content creators world but you have to be able to survive and make money. It’s a fantastic new world for good content creators, if you follow a trend you can make money but if you follow a fad you’ll go broke. A Total Rethink - Entrepreneurs should act like revolutionaries There is a story that needs to be told. The world has been operating with a basis of incremental change in business and in life since the industrial revolution but now everything is moving so fast we need to change the way we look at the problems. A change in approach and thinking is necessary for the planet and also offers great opportunities for making money. The book doesn’t solve all the problems but it highlights the big problems and highlights how I’ve solved similar problems with suggestions of how we could solve some of the global problems based on my personal experience. Motivation Why would you live an ordinary life when you don’t have to? Money is not my motivation and I’m just getting started everything I’ve learnt up until this point is for what I’m going to do next and I haven’t yet done the big thing I’m meant to do. BEST MOMENTS ‘It isn’t a political problem it’s a global problem and the business opportunity is in solving the problems’ ‘People have to work out what makes them happy in life’ ‘If they see a problem that they want to solve why would they not take a chance for happiness’ ‘The only equaliser between us all is time’ ‘It's way easier to buy something than start something’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

A lot of people can seem and look happy and bubbly externally but when it comes down to how they’re actually feeling, more and more people are struggling with negative emotions which can spiral into things such as depression. So in this episode, Rob discusses how he manages his emotions in a positive, productive way that also uplifts him when he is struggling himself. KEY TAKEAWAYS The more people I talk to recently are struggling with the loneliness, challenges, anxiety and depression. All of these things can come from comparing yourself to others. All of the challenges that make you feel unmotivated and not want to do anything within business and life that aren’t extreme is what we’re dealing with in this episode. If you’re feeling any of these negative emotions, try to convert the strong feelings into something productive. It can really end lifting you up. My podcast, coaching calls, books and work essentially is the way I turn around that force into something productive.

BEST MOMENTS “Marketing is the lifeblood of your business and where all the income comes from” “In your first three hires, you need to employ somebody you does your marketing. In the beginning, I was sales, marketing, brand and everything” “I realised pretty quickly that marketing is the engine of the business” “22 of my 75 staff are hands on the ground and dedicated to marketing functions” “Relevant sales reduce the friction between the customer and the transaction.“ “Producing lots of content creates low friction and high trust” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In today’s episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob takes you live to an open Q&A event where he answers questions on negativity, mentors and taking advice. Tune in to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s far easier to act on your own inner beliefs, confidence and worth then it is to change the beliefs of your friends and family and alter the way they act towards you. You’re friends and family may come accross negative but it’s only because they care. What you can do to overcome negativity: Go out more, be home a little less and When you’re working on your vision, do it without others distraction. Always ask yourself, are they qualified to give you the advice? Because it’s vital where you take your advice from and you need to be very mindful by asking these questions: Do you respect what they’ve done Have they got the proven results you’re after Are you going to implement what they tell you BEST MOMENTS “Ignore the negativity, even if it's from those close to you. It’s because they care about you that they’re negative” “Change your perception of how people act towards you and the reality around you will change” “Not everyone is against you they’re acting that way because they care” “Only pure ignorance can deny results” “Why have a dog and bark yourself” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Have you ever wondered how you would survive in business? Have you ever considered how to grow your company whilst avoiding the chaos and breakages every start-up faces? Well, in today’s episode of Disruptors, you’re about to find out! Tune in to hear Rob dive into business survival and discuss the things that break the disruption of growth. Discover how to overcome the challenges and difficulties your business will inevitably face as you grow in size and influence and learn how to focus on surviving and thriving regardless of the chaos around you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Growth Paradox Growth is the thing all entrepreneurs strive for. It’s what drives us forward each year but when is it ever enough? Because the faster you grow the more things break and the faster they break. However, if you’re okay with dealing with the breakages of growth it’s okay to grow aggressively The harder you grow the more chaos and disruption there is so, balance your growth plans with something that realistic and achievable but that’s also exciting. Overwhelm & Delegation As you grow you need to begin to delegate and outsource all of the things that you used to do because now you will be overwhelmed. But whatever you do, don’t overgrow and under delivery, ensure you plan throughout your growth so you’re prepared for the overwhelm when it comes. Always be proactive to growth and not reactive, but regardless, always grow. Sometimes it’s better to launch a campaign without the planning and cause the growth without any order or plan in place. If you have the right team around you, the order will come afterwards. Growth is followed by order and vice versa, it’s the cycle of a growing business. Culture Shifts Train help and support other members of staff. You can’t be selfish anymore and you need to build a team around you with systems and documents to run the day-to-day business so you can focus on the growth. As you grow and embrace your team you’ll discover a level of leverage and management, now it’s important to save time by hiring and training others, however, with this mean you’ll need to have performance plans, management KPI’s and go through a culture change as your business grows. Layers Of Management As you get bigger you need layers of management in your business and you need to begin to work less but watch and observe more. Avoid the natural entrepreneur tendencies to always work and begin to work on your business rather than in your business. With the growth and the layers of management, you start to find staff that hide and do not necessarily pull their weight for the business. Always be prepared for the culture shifts and ready for growth but don’t lose your one-man-band, innovative feel because that’s your growth area. Freedom Ultimately you have freedom by owning the business however you’re responsible for the business, your brand, your online presence and the careers of those that work with you to achieve the businesses goals. People don’t work for you, everyone works for themselves and they use you in their life if you meet there values and needs. If this is the case, loyalty will be created. Therefore, if you understand your employee’s and their motivations the chance of a fruitful working relationship increases and breeds longevity. Always look to hire ambitious people that are invested in their career growth and try to meet their needs and relate to their values. Management Of Your Emotions Become a leader by owning your business and inspiring your staff. You can't manage with your emotions. Don’t let your emotions control your actions and instead focus on your business, train your staff and develop systems in your business. Often we react emotionally because something has touched a nerve and we act before we can speak. Most of the time the best way to handle a situation with critics, trolls and haters is to say nothing and simply focus on your business and serving your customers. Competitors Don’t hate your competitors be obsessed about learning from them, but don’t let it compromise your own focus and vision for your business to grow. Your competitors should energise you and your business so focus on your clients more than your competition. Always look to serve your customers to the best of your ability. See your competition as someone that keeps you lean, motivated and hungry to grow and improve your product offering. Increased competition in your market place is a good thing, it pushes the industry forward and increases exposure for everyone operating in the market place. BEST MOMENTS“When growing your business you’ll face chaos, breakages, challenges and difficulties” “There’s a great upside to knowing all of the challenges you’ll face in business, the legalities, the competition and how to innovate through difficult markets and grow through recessions.” “I work for my team and provide them with what they need.” “Discipline equals freedom and hardcore accountability leads to freedom” [Business, mindset, entre

We worry what people think about us but some common false assumptions that people make is that we can make everyone like us and that they’re thinking about us all of the time. One of the most important and liberating things is to accept that there will always be people who support you and people who don’t. KEY TAKEAWAYS In any time and space there will be someone who loves you, someone who loathes you, someone who supports you, someone who challenges you, someone who stands against you and someone who doesn’t like you. It’s likely that someone on this plant has very similar values to you but it’s also very likely that there is someone who has the complete opposite values to you. Those who have similar values to you will support you and those who have opposite values to you will challenge you. For humanity as a group to be better, individuals have to be better and to be better we have to interdependently serve each other. We all produce and consume for each other which means we all have to be better at different things. No matter who you are there will always be someone who supports you and someone who doesn’t support you. Accepting that is liberating. When you don’t put yourself out there because you’re scared of critics, you don’t actually have any less critics, you just don’t know who they are yet because you haven’t put yourself our there. BEST MOMENTS ‘Every human has an individual set of values that are most important to them in their life’ ‘Everybody is different and no two people are the same’ ‘Evolution seems to be to me a random selection of improvement of genetics.’ ‘Be stronger not weaker, be better not worse.’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Having an unbeatable mindset actually involves not thinking about money a lot. So, let’s go back to the basics. What do we need to know first? Listen to Rob answer all your questions in this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast. From creating your content to having good spending habits to pricing your products and services, Rob sheds a light on how you can improve your mindset so you can always bring your A game. When you have the right attitude when you deal with every decision or every task, it’s easier to attract success and the growth of finances. Focusing on the money, and not on the process or even the value that will come out of what you’re doing, will not bring you abundance. Start listening and learn more from Rob. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why do some people fear success? What they are afraid of is not the success itself but the consequences that come with it in their relationships. We can’t do anything about their insecurities and their doubts about us. How do you accurately price your products/services? Do a market research and put into mind fair exchange. First, make sure that what you’ll put out is something valuable and sustainable to your market. If you think you already need a price increase, then test it out to find out what’s your ceiling fair exchange. What are some bad money spending habits? People spend money to stuff that can make them happy, whether it be for instant gratification or long-term investments. Rob himself is guilty with his impulsiveness, but he makes sure that he doesn’t erode his capital in the long run. How do you identify your most valuable skill to gain the maximum money? Find what you’re passionate about. It might be something that people keep telling you you’re good at or something you have grown to love unexpectedly while choosing your career. What do you need to target? Don’t put too much focus on increasing the finances, be process- and outcome-driven. It’s easier and more definite that the money will continuously come in when we put out something that’s improving. How do you put yourself out there? Just do it, even if it scares you. Start putting some content out there. How do you monetise a new show? Rob advises not to monetise it until you reach 20 episodes. You need to gain steady listeners first. How did you grow from single deal to multiple deals? Growing your portfolio should be done incrementally. Start with single-let’s and HMOs. BEST MOMENTS “… the market needs you to re-invest into innovation and improving your products and services.” “People spend on things that are of highest value to them.” “It feels like a paradox. On the one hand, you feel like you’re too old to start, and you want to go all in and you’ve exhausted yourself.” “It’s about challenging yourself to maintain discomfort.” “When you do small things that you fear overcoming, they get easier and then you could do the bigger fears that you fear overcoming.” “Too bigger growth in your mindset is a big risk to your account balance.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

“I made a very strategic decision about 5 years ago to stop drinking alcohol.” There is no judgement from me in this episode; I just wanted to share with you all my views on whether alcohol and entrepreneurship work together. I get asked about this a lot by people because I don’t drink alcohol anymore. KEY TAKEAWAYS As I got older my hangovers got longer and when I’m working for myself I always want to be on it and energetic. Drinking essentially made me waste a lot of time and for me, time is money. I find that when I drink, even if I only have 2, it makes me tired, grumpy and want to go to bed early and still have a bit of a hangover the next day. For someone like me who’s an ‘all or nothing’ type of guy I could just not drink and use my time more effectively. If drinking is a big part of your social and business life, then maybe drink on a Friday so you’re fresh and ready by Monday. Or you could just drink once a month rather than every week. I don’t believe there’s any harm in quitting drinking and I’m aware there is a lot of social pressure to drink. You could try testing 1 month without any alcohol and see what happens. You might find that you don’t actually enjoy drinking. For me, business and entrepreneurship is really important and drinking alcohol isn’t. BEST MOMENTS ‘Alcohol affects productivity.’ ‘If you can have control and know your limit then that’s good self discipline.’ ‘Discipline is doing something you should do even if you don’t want to be doing it.’ ‘I found 0 is easier and better than 2 drinks per week.’ ‘I don’t think you should worry about what other people think and all of the other social pressures.’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this truly fascinating episode, Rob is in conversation with Katie Hopkins, media personality and the most controversial former contestant of ‘The Apprentice’. They discuss everything from the importance of being liked or not through to epilepsy and dismantling the mainstream media. This raw and honest episode is full of surprises and listening will challenge what you think about an individual who regularly polarises with her comments. If you think you know all about Katie Hopkins then listen in and find out if you really do! KEY TAKEAWAYS You don’t genuinely need to be liked? I know all the right things I need to say and do to be loved they just don’t happen to be views that I hold. If you are honest about what you think, 50% of people may hate you but a good amount of people will warm to you because not many people are honest and prepared to be hated for it. We all go through a process of needing to reconcile what people have said about us. I need to be loved by my family and a few people who are close to me. I appreciate people who tell me I’m doing a good job but those who stop me and tell me they hate me are of no importance to me. What people read in the media is an element of me and I have to be responsible for it, they gained that impression of me from my commentary. It can be vile to them but is a truth for me. We all have truths and my truth may be completely different to your truth about something but none of us thinks we are being dishonest. Is there anything you shouldn’t have said? There is nothing I would retract, apologise for or explain. I acknowledge there will some things out there that I shouldn’t have said but you can’t ever apologise or explain on twitter because you will never win. Your critics can be good for your career, your posts don’t go viral from the people who post nice comments, they go viral when someone gets upset and there is a massive sub-thread and argument. What’s it like being in the public eye? When you’ve been in the public eye you build resilience and recognise that a lot of people who are critical of you, want to be you. I’m good at dealing with criticism but not that great at dealing with compliments. If you get 9 compliments and 1 troll it's vital you don’t just respond to the troll. If you get a compliment it’s important to own it with thanks. We can spend lots of our time looking and hearing from the same faces in the media when the really interesting stuff is everyone else. The everyday interactions and conversations we are all a part of make up the genius of life. What’s being disruptive for you? Disruption for me is not being satisfied and going along with things because it’s easier. It’s always harder to swim upstream but it’s so worth it. Swim upstream and you'll be alright. BEST MOMENTS ‘You say things that other people don’t have the courage to say’ All the best people are mad, all the best people are weird and if you are mad, weird and alone, I believe you are heading in the right direction’ ‘That’s what anybody involved in alternative media is about, we are trying to be ahead of stuff’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

So, here’s a prelude to one of the most controversial episodes of the Disruptors Podcast which will be shown next week! Next episode will feature Katie Hopkins, a well-known English media personality. If you’ve watched the snippets that were posted on the podcast’s social media lately, then you’ve also seen the reactions of people in the comments section. Some liked it, some got curious and are waiting for the upcoming full episode, some were dismissive about Katie’s guesting, some disagreed with her comments, and so on. Rob just stayed cool and open-minded when responding to everyone. But, today, let’s listen to Rob what he thought about this whole situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob always knew that there is a big risk interviewing big personalities like Katie Hopkins. And, when he consulted a few people just to test the waters if this will be a great idea, most said yes because they thought the discussion will be interesting. Rob doesn’t want any discussion to turn political, so it was a full-on effort for him to be careful and be neutral on any controversial stuff when mentioned. The podcast wants to feature a wide range of guests. It wouldn’t be called a ‘holistic growth’ if we only get to hear just one side. Let things challenge you and your preconceived notions.

‘The business will only grow at the speed you grow.’ In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob dives deep on how you can start and scale any business in any industry. If you ask what should be on your planning board, then first, know your ultimate vision. When you’re aware of it, deciding on the strategies, management, sales & marketing, and the product & services you’ll offer, will be manageable. Aside from these, Rob also discusses the four stages of scaling up a business, the value of your team in your business, and the benefits of self-actualisation. Everything should get easier to plan and execute since Rob got everything covered today. Start tuning in to discover more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vision – Before you plan on the technical side (operations, human resource, finance, etc.), make sure you’ve created a clear-cut vision for yourself and the business. But don’t be too anal about it you’d end up perfecting it for years before you start the business—you can start with one sentence and make it develop from there. Strategy – When you’ve already gauged who your end users are, it’s easier to plan how you can get your message, products, and services to them. Leadership – Who will execute and refine the business strategies? Management – All individuals involved must understand very well the company’s vision and objectives. The team must have the same outcome in mind, so there is always progress. Show your team members your culture and your vision, but you got to let them do their thing their own way. Create an environment where existence of mistakes is accepted, so it’s easy for them to get back from it. Sales & Marketing – Sales & marketing is very important to make your vision substantial. Marketing is generating leads while sales is converting leads. Products & Services – What are you offering and selling? Is it information, a product, or a service? The best resources when you start your business are creativity, resourcefulness, enthusiasm/energy, innovation, ability to solve problems, and flexibility. BEST MOMENTS “If you have a vastly compelling vision, that will do a lot of the selling.” “Leadership and management are totally different—usually, great leaders are terrible managers.” “Development is constantly challenging, training, and inspiring from tactical to manager to leadership.” “If you grow yourself personally, you learn to let go of things, you learn to prioritise well.” “How do we contribute to the survival of humanity? By becoming the best version of ourselves.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this episode of TDE Rob explains how you can improve your sleep by becoming more strategic and less operational within your business. Rob also covers the importance of marketing and sales within your business and how you can make improve your systems so that your business becomes more sustainable. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark and I draw half of the profit and reinvest the rest back into the business and have done for several years. Look at what your net profits are, look at what you’ve got in your retained profits and make a goal of withdrawing X amount and retain X amount. You’ve got to feel like you’re earning enough out of your business to feel grateful to be in your business otherwise you’ll resent your business if you’re working in it all of the time and the profit is always a promise for the future but not today When you hire staff, try your best to make sure that they’re revenue-generating and their salary is paid for by their job. People will react in an emotionally volatile way and will be more susceptible to ‘get rich quick’ things when they’ve got not any money or are in debt. The more strategic and less operational you are within the business, the easier you’ll be able to sleep at night. Most people don’t focus enough on marketing, the solution to most cash flow problems is marketing and sales. Building multiple streams of leads doesn’t mean doing all streams at once. Have a budget and save 20% of that budget to spend on testing on new marketing streams. BEST MOMENTS ‘Free markets rely on competition forces, continual improvement and innovation.’ ‘Always reinvest enough money for improvements to the business.’ ‘People think salaries are a lot of risk but it’s not.’ ‘When you’ve got a wall of cash you’re more likely to make better choices.’ ‘Prepare for growth, grow, repair after growth and repeat.’ ‘Have multiple streams of marketing.’ [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

“All depression and loneliness by definition is just 10x worse in business when you’re alone.” Entrepreneurs aren’t bulletproof in terms of their well-being. The rollercoaster of schedule, tasks, and various people you meet can take its toll on your mental health, and consequently, on your business. In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob helps you on dealing with depression in business. First off, it’s important to consult a professional when you think you’re feeling there’s something wrong. The following are just different ways on how you can understand your mind and personality to avoid any mental illness from happening and to keep your business running. A high-performance company needs individuals with healthy mental well-being. Discover more when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s OKAY to ask for help; it’s okay to be vulnerable. It doesn’t mean that you’re weak and incapable. You’re just acknowledging that you’re human—you’re not a superhuman, a god, or an omnipotent body. We face challenges, struggles and failures, and each of us are only equipped with limited resources. Accept that you need others. Don’t self-medicate. Consult professional help. If you feel any imbalance in your body and mind, then don’t hesitate to approach someone. Be wary of what might have caused this. Maybe you’re overworking yourself or overthinking about stuff. Meeting and inspiring other people can instantly lift your spirits. Get around nature—when exposed to the beauty of it, all fears, stress, and doubts are removed. Exercise also to remove all the toxins and to release happy hormones. The challenges that come in your life should be a motivation for you to better yourself and to conquer each day.
