Money Mind Tricks Millionaires Know That The Masses Don’t
Tune in today to hear Rob discuss the Money Mindset tricks that millionaires know, that the masses don't. Rob shares with you the 10 tricks you can implement in business and in life to attract more money and create less friction between you and the flow of money around you. Rob shows you that money is a simple exchange of value and of goods and services. Learn how to remove your emotions from money and begin to start, grow and scale your income with a better understanding of how to win the game of ‘Money’ KEY TAKEAWAYS10 Millionaire Mindset Tricks To Help You Build Your Wealth Money is not a scarce commodity but an infinite resource - The stories and notions you hear about money are driven by a lack of abundance ie they feel there is not enough money or opportunity in the world for them. The reality is the opposite.
ALL money comes from people (even banks & machines) - Money comes from people, the machines that make you money are made by man. As a result, your relationships with people reduce the friction that leads to money coming to you. The value that you provide and the network that you build equals money.
Money does NOT change you; it makes you more of who you already are - Money is what you need in order to grow and be successful.
Money, or the love of, is not the root of all evil (or good) - Humanity is the route of all evil and the route of all good. Money is easy to define a concept with no morals, personality or agenda.
You won’t make more money until you learn to manage better what you already have (0, mil, bn) - Until you learn to manage the amount of money you have currently, you won't get more. Investors and millionaires will not choose you and give you opportunities if you cannot manage money.
No one deserves money (or doesn’t) - Money is service, value and merit-based currency that flows between those that value at least, to those that value it most. Those that attract it and have vast wealth, know how to play the game of 'Money’.
More money comes from taking on & solving BIGGER problems, not hiding from them - If you can solve meaningful and impactful problems that make a difference and serve others you will make more money.
Money is simply a universal exchange of value (& energy) - Money is an energy exchange, it doesn't change you it's just an efficient way of exchanging value and services between people.
Everything you love or hate about money, & those who have it, you have those traits too - You have the same capacity to be greedy as the people that you assume to be greedy, this is not a bad thing. When we are pressured and backed into a corner we will become everything we hate, so do not judge.
Money tends to exaggerate your traits (good, & bad, like addictions) - If you can take away the emotion from money and understand it's logical need as an exchange in goods and services you can attract more of it. BEST MOMENTS "You will get better rates in the banks if you have a good relationship with the bank manager" “Billionaires are so good at being billionaires that they need to leverage people like you for your time” “Reduce the friction of money to you by increasing the value of your relationship with those that hold the money, those quality people" "Your only one of two people removed from a network of millionaires" "Money fuels and exaggerates our existing traits" "All your emotions, fears, doubts and worries cloud your ability to logically understand and make money."

The 6 Stages of Start Up to Scale Up (The 6 S’s)
Most of the millennials nowadays are looking to build their own startup and gain fast money. It’s a long and fulfilling journey to get your business reach its peak. It wasn’t easy for every business tycoon and magnate out there. So, in today’s episode of The Money Podcast, Rob Moore walks you through the 6 stages you’ll undergo from Startup to Scale-up. These 6 stages, or the 6 S, are the Startup, Sales, Staffing, Survival, Scaling up, and Sustainability. You don’t want to be hitting a stone wall as you go along; learn how to tread the waters and move on to the next stage. Rob lets you in on great tips and strategies on how to do it for every phase. And, whether this business is a side project or an empire-building project, it’s best to establish first what type of business yours belongs to. Discover how these types of businesses differ and resemble on each stage. Rob also promises to dive deeper in the 6 stages in a miniseries really soon so make sure to check out the Money Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Omny, or any platform you use. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are three main types of businesses and it’s important to know first on which type it belongs to. Know if it’s a part-time business, lifestyle business, or an empire business. The 6 Stages from Startup to Scale Up: Startup Stage – While looking for fresh ideas to create a product and disrupt the market, be wise and agile. It’s always chaotic at the start so it’s okay to not have all the answers. Rob’s advice: Don’t take massive overheads – business loans, a lot of equipment, etc. Sales Stage – This is when we want everything to be perfect from the littlest to the grandest detail of the business. Make sure to focus on marketing and sales to draw some profits. To grow and sustain your business, finance your cash flow through selling, reinvesting, etc. Staffing Stage – When building your team, you could choose to go for in-source or outsource. Know the best choice for your type of business too. For example, for empire building businesses, in the source will be more beneficial by creating an office culture and having full-time, loyal staff. Survival Stage – A sudden culture change inside the business that can be caused by a blindside or a rapid growth. There might come a time that you’ll be disrupted by competition, regulations, or loss of interest. Be ready to manage chaos and communicate what’s happening with your staff. Scaling Up Stage – It’s time to systematize your business to grow it, to enter global markets or to create new products and services. These can bring bigger finances, more shareholders, and more clients. Sustainability Stage – You’ve done all the work – scaling, entering the prospect market, writing down the system for your staff, etc. – and your business can survive without your presence. Have a clear strategy of what’s the future or end-game for your business. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes, it's okay to be naive, exciting, enthusiastic, passionate, and not having all the answers." "Getting the people in the door of the shop, which is marketing, and getting people to buy your products and put money in the till, which is sales, are the two most important things." "Every business goes through seasons and journeys. Sometimes, you have to stop the growth and survive through a period of time."

In today’s inspiring episode, Rob challenges you to increase your pricing and attract wealthier clients, and a more affluent audience. If you want to disrupt the marketplace and instantly increase your profits by 20% or more, this episode is for you! KEY TAKEAWAYS Generally, people have objectives and belief restrictions around increasing their pricing and making a profit. What most people do is, follow their competitor's pricing model and charge cheaper amounts because that’s all they think their product or service is worth. Well with your business and your pricing you control who you attract to your business and you control the amount of money you can make. You are allowed to make a profit. It is your obligation as a business to make a profit and to be profitable you must, therefore, create products and services for customers to consume.
Don't always follow your competitors, find your audience and tap into the whole market. Get clear on your target market before anything else and always consider scale and the affluence of the avatar you're targeting.
By putting your prices up 20% you can double your margins, you will start to notice that the world will bring more affluent clients. Incrementally increase your prices and use the price escalation model, as you increase your prices your ideal clients appear.

Don't attract the customers that want a tenner but are only prepared to pay a fiver” “Start nudging your prices up incrementally, 20% incrementally” VALUABLE RESOURCES #284 Interview with Martin Frei, Co-founder of High-End Watch Brand Urwerk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is the host of the UK’s no. 1 business podcast “The Disruptive Entrepreneur,” as well as an entrepreneur, property investor, property educator, and holder of 3 world records for public speaking.

Why Raising Debt, Cash & Giving Equity Isn't Always Good
Nowadays, having debts or selling equity is the only seen choice to grow your start-up company or to get you out of financial turmoil. But, it isn’t always the best choice. In this episode of The Money Podcast, Rob lays out the downsides of raising debt cash and equity if not done properly. Instead of growing the company through external financing, you might make a mistake and push your company down in a bad state. No one wants that! Discover from Rob what factors to consider and what strategies you could apply before going through a done deal. Remember: It’s okay to want to increase the value of your business but every decision should be well-thought and calculated. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fund through cash flow. Sell some stuff. Put money in the bank and reinvest in your business processes (marketing, hiring, etc.) Selling out from the start just dilutes your equity. The downside of having money is that you have interests to pay. And, if you’re giving away equity, you deal with the shareholding. You’ll get the lowest share of the profits. Reduced shareholding. Raising cash and equity enables you to grow more so you want half of the pie. When you sell off the company, you have the half the sale value and all profits. Talk about managing salaries or how will everyone get paid. Small start-up businesses serve as a ‘self-function’ where they can put their expense through – underpay themselves. Or use it to pay yourself more than enough. BUT these won’t happen if you have external shareholders. They won’t agree with these kinds of activities. Reduced control. You can do whatever you want. You can make decisions for your business without outside influences. Don’t tag a better deal if the money is coming with a price – more control over you or no added value to your business. You have to be careful once you have the money and you feel like you have to spend it or invest it. Shareholders might be pressuring you to do so for growth but remember that you have to spend it in a calculated way. Make use of all assets besides money. You can be creative, resourceful, and adaptable especially if you’re in survival mode. Sometimes, giving away your shares could put you into a hostile takeover. There could be lawyers and VCs who can be assertive and may have talked you to borrow or sell unknowingly. Do your research before signing to avoid danger to your company. Companies might ask for earnouts that might not actually push through in the long run. It will be better to ask for cash out upfront. BEST MOMENTS “When we need money, we don’t see the cost”
“You can use cash to feel growth but you could [also] waste that cash. Because when you use cash to feel growth, what you don’t use is creativity, innovation, ingenuity, and leverage.” “When you start, you have to use all the assets you’ve got other than money.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast ly/DisEntPodcast

Negative Friends & Family: Surprising Ways to Deal With Them
Rob dives into the subject of negativity, those that criticise and judge and how it affects you. Learn how you too, can deal with the criticism and pessimism of those closest to you. Discover how to become self-motivated, rather than externally motivated and how to re-frame objections by turning it on its head and matching it to their own vision and values. In today’s episode, learn how to take in feedback, assimilate it, filter it and spit it back out in a positive way because the support that you get and need and the negative comments you receive are a balance and you need both to be successful. The answers Rob shares in this episode are not what you might expect, so tune in now to hear Rob’s 9 ways to deal with negative friends and family. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don’t rubbish all criticism, just because you deem it to be negative. - Negative comments don’t need to hold you back, it’s delusional or naive to expect that everyone will be positive and supportive of you. Maybe they care, maybe they just don't know how to articulate it in a supportive way - We can perceive that people are trying to be criticise, when they’re actually trying to help. Sometimes it’s valuable feedback, just shared in a negative way - Pick the useful parts and simply reject the rest. Feedback can always be helpful and you can always learn from it. Use negativity as motivation - Fuel your ambition and drive your motivation by using the negative comments and feedback to motivate you to grow and scale. Take the energy and become more productive. Don’t take it personally, it’s never personal - They’re not really saying it about you, they’re often seeing something in themselves in what you’re doing. If you consistently get negative feedback it could be that you’re on the wrong path, that what you’re offering is not quite right. Use it as fuel to create a thicker skin - When you make it, when you reach the levels of a $100million you’ll look back on this negative feedback as a form of growth, you need it to become better and more resilient. Find out your friends and families values - Adhere to their vision and values and show them the reason why you’re chasing your dream. Balance having supportive people around with the goals you want to achieve, remember their part of your journey too. You cannot blame people around you for being apprehensive when you’re making a change - It’s a test of your will and desire, find out if you’re on the right mission and on the right path. Limit your time with them - Start selecting a more empowered network of like-minded people and move toward those who share your common interests. You don’t need to get rid of your friends and family but you can simply limit your time with them to stay positive. BEST MOMENTS “Some of us aren't made to be entrepreneurs, some of us aren’t made to be employees” “The best form of revenge is success” “You don’t owe anyone any false loyalty” Develop an internal emotion and don’t allow yourself to be affected by other people's moods “Interrupt them with positive and infect them with happiness” “Working hard and hustling is not always enough, you need to know how to deal with negative friends or family in your business.” “The world throws us the challenges we need, to learn to grow through them, to become a better person.

Six Weird Things That Erode Your Wealth (so You Don’t)
In this episode of The Money Podcast, Rob talks about the ways in which overspending is tied to emotion, and that while we all logically know the best way to manage money is to never spend more than you earn, it’s almost too easy to let your emotions erode your hard-earned wealth. Rob explains that spending money out of a sense of boredom, shame or envy can quickly grow out of control until you’re in debt from spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need. Key Takeaways: Most people understand that the easiest way to manage your money is to never spend more than you earn, but emotions get in the way of this logic and can be one of the many things that can erode your wealth. Som unexpected ones include:
Boredom. People will spend money for no other reason than they’re bored and have nothing else to do but spend money to occupy themselves. Find a better way to keep yourself busy or otherwise do not allow yourself to spend money when bored.
Envy. You compare yourself to other people and feel envious of them and so you buy the expensive things that they have so you can feel elevated. While there’s nothing wrong with buying nice things, you should only do it if it’s something YOU want, not because someone else that you want to be compared to has it, and more importantly, if you can afford to buy it.
Guilt. Many people would rather try to throw money at something they feel bad about or buy their way out of guilty feelings instead of trying to process why they feel guilty or what they feel guilty about in the first place. So instead of dealing with their feelings, they end up overspending and still feeling guilty.
Shame. People will spend incredible amounts of money to compensate for feelings of shame or insecurity, especially about their looks, buying expensive clothing or plastic surgery. Again, this doesn’t help address the feelings behind why you’re spending the money, and spending money to make yourself feel better can become an addiction if you’re not careful.
Ego. People’s ego and their desire to win at all costs or to at least defeat others through means like costly legal battles or spending lots of money on PR can pile up and run you into debt as you throw good money after bad to try to cover a loss.
Turning wants into needs. Convincing yourself that you need something when actually you just want it really badly is a surefire way to lose control of your budget and spiral into overspending. Practical advice against this: Actually be aware of how much you’re spending. So many people think they’re spending about half of what they actually are, so know what you’re spending, have a clear budget, don’t go over it. Best Moments: “If you think about money management logically, it’s very easy: Never spend more than you earn. Full stop.” “These online shopping portals must make loads of money from bored people!” “Some of these things, giving money away, they’re not necessarily bad as long as it’s money that is productive and money that you can afford to lose.” “Do you know how much you’re spending every month?
