Disruptors The Disgraceful Lack of Financial Education
The roles are reversed as Rob is interviewed by Jessen James of the Mind Over Money Podcast! James is a fellow business owner, entrepreneur educator and as Rob has so often spoken about, we are now living in a world of collaboration not competition and in this spirit James has taken over the Podcast as part of a social media take over! Rob and James discuss entrepreneurship, all things money and how important discomfort and disruption is to seek success in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A former artist, Rob believes that business and entrepreneurship is one of the most creative endeavors available to us. Rob might not paint anymore but he gets to be creative every single day.
- The bloodline of any business is to make money. People hold themselves back in their attitudes to money, by their upbringing but also because of the common misconceptions and even shame surrounding money.
- James didn’t grow up with a lot, watching his parents work hard yet barely make ends meet. At school he wasn’t taught to strive or even focus on money. He could have let his environment shape his attitude around money but he didn’t – he decided he wanted more.
- Rob broke away from the things that were holding him back from reaching his wealth potential. In 2005 he made many difficult but necessary decisions which lead him onto the path to making him the success he is today.
- It’s important to stay an eternal student. Rob has taught countless courses on money and even authored books on the subject yet he still is always looking to learn more.
- We are living in a world of abundance. It’s much easier to gain knowledge and build wealth in today’s world. James believes that the main thing that holds people back is themselves and their willingness to change and move forwards. It’s a choice, comfort is the enemy of greatness, it’s only discomfort that pushes us to make change.
- Rob believes one of the biggest things you can do to alter your mindset is by understanding the laws and importance of balance in the universe. For every negative there is a positive, if you can recognise this and channel it then it’s the best thing you can do for yourself and your life.
- The universe won’t give you more of what you aren’t already grateful for. Learn to be grateful for what you have and work hard for what you want.
