The Money Podcast Do All Entrepreneurs End Up Divorced and Lonely?
In this candid and revealing episode, Rob talks about the complex world of relationships as an entrepreneur. From marriage and parenting to business partnerships and employee dynamics, Rob shares his experiences from his 18 years of balancing business success with personal relationships. He discusses the delicate dance between ambition and family life, giving his perspectives on how to maintain healthy relationships whilst being an entrepreneur.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· The ideal entrepreneurial relationship often thrives when partners have opposing traits but aligned visions. For example in Rob’s case, his ambition and risk-taking are balanced by the Mark’s stability and groundedness.
· Children of successful entrepreneurs need challenge, not coddling. By teaching them to earn rather than giving handouts it can prevent entitled behaviour and prepares them for the real world.
· In employee relationships, no one truly works "for you" they work for themselves. Leaders should expect more from employees than they expect from themselves to drive growth.
· The key to maintaining relationships as an entrepreneur is understanding that you can have anything but not everything - choose partners who appreciate ambition but provide balance.
· Managing personal relationships with wealth requires thick skin, people will feel entitled to your money and criticise your success, but that's part of the territory.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you have a hole in your soul, no human alive can make you happy. You can have the best looking, funniest, most supportive, charming partner, they cannot fill a void in your own soul."
"Wisdom is knowing the difference between what you think you want and what is good for you. Usually the things that don't like and trigger you and are painful for you are good for you."
"I don't believe my staff work for me. I believe my staff work for themselves... if they were working for me, they would work and then they'd give me the money."
"Your children will teach you as much as you teach them."
