Disruptors

People don’t actually care how much you ‘work’. Your employer and customer aren’t paying for how much you work, what they are paying for are three things, value, production and service. Listen in to this episode to hear more! Tiny.cc/robsubs KEY TAKEAWAYS  When you buy a product, you don’t generally care how long it took to make, what you care about is its value. You can increase your value to be paid more without working more. You just have to think about what is valuable to your customer or clients rather than simply working ‘harder’ or ‘longer’ It’s easier to go the extra mile before you have lots of experience and you are a smaller business. So you can focus on this to provide value. Don't get into the trap of working longer and harder, work better and smarter instead. BEST MOMENTS  “If you increase the value that you give, you will be paid more” “There is no limit to the creativity, to the innovation but there is to the overtime you can do” [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.

Key Takeaways. Take us through your journey? I suppose I am curious about learning and I am interested in entrepreneurship. My first job was in a cemetery to earn money before I went to college, it was hard work, it was in winter and I had to level graves. It was pretty educational because it made me realise I didn’t want to do hard physical work, all my life. I then started working for Anita Roddick, she is the founder of The Body Shop with her husband Gordon, and I was really impressed by her ethos and sense of purpose because it was all about fair trade and not testing on animals, she had a really strong message and brand and I wanted to learn from her. Do you think writing letters to people is more successful than email? Yes, I do, when you email someone you are piling up their inbox but when you write to somebody it is very rare and it stands out more. It is a good way of preempting a job application and that’s what I did with Anita Roddick, I saw that she was having some problems, I wrote to her directly and I became caudate of one rather than a candidate of 100. Any way we can differentiate ourselves, and come across as somebody with personality and character is much stronger. How old were you when you attended Harvard? I was 25, it was really tough. You started your study group at 7:20 in the morning and you worked really hard, and you learned a lot. I then came back and got a job at the BBC in production, I loved that I was a trainee producer for a little bit. You have both higher education and experience working in your family business, which one taught you the most? What is interesting is when I went to Harvard, my Dad actually applied and came over too. He did a course for entrepreneurs. I was the first member of our family to go to university, and even though my father left school at 16 with not any O levels, he was really big on education and he learned at night school to be an accountant. The difference is when you study at a university you consider a lot of ideas and see a lot of other people’s experiences, but you’re not actually doing it yourself. It is all very well having a theory but tries and it in practice, and I have learned that since. Try and take people with you, create a moon purpose, build energy around whatever you’re doing, that is really human and that is what I learned from my father. You have been very partly responsible for the growth of your family business, can you tell us how you grew Reed? I think it is always important to be growing, our strategy is very simple. It is to grow organically, we haven’t grown it by acquisition. There are only two ways you can grow organically, one is through exceptional service and the other is through innovation and new ideas. If you can deliver a good service to people that they appreciate, they will come back and they will also recommend you to other people, we take that very seriously. Innovation is also a big part of our DNA. We are always looking for new ideas and we are always skint people for their ideas. What justifies recruitment agency fees? You can negotiate your price, but I always say, if a recruitment agent is charging your company a very low fee, where are they going to send their best candidates? There is a huge behind the scenes cost of running a recruitment agency. We spend 20 million pounds on advertising, millions on IT, we have over 3500 staff. So there’s a lot of time and investment put into that. All the best and biggest recruiters in the UK use our website. If you’re paying a big fee you should expect a really good service and a really strong shortlist and ultimately a really good hire. If you have a good recruiter alongside you who know what you’re looking for, that’s a really important relationship. How do you probe to get the mindset of somebody and look beyond the CV? Characters are everything in the end. You have to embark on a conversation where you can find out as much as you can. The thing that people most care about is integrity, but if you ask a bunch of school kids “what are you looking for you when you go for a job interview?” They never come up with that. There’s a really mean question in my interview book which is “where does your boss think you are right now?” So unless you have taken the time off, if your boss thinks you are with a client or working from home, that’s an issue. What is the best advice you have ever received? Be nice to people and to try and have an idea every day. What is the worst advice you have ever received? To not do things that I have ignored and always turned out quite well. Or when people have told me “Be more careful” or “It won’t succeed” often they’re right but the comfort of a pessimist is being proven correct, but there is nothing better than proving them wrong. What does the word disruptive mean to you? I am not sure it is positive! It has become more ambivalent to me if disruption is good or bad? I think we have entrepreneurs have a duty to think about that, and maybe come up with some new ideas to address that. I love change, I love the challenge of improvement. BEST MOMENTS: “Getting the right people into your organisation is game-changing” “Some ideas have succeeded, and some have failed, but the combination of the two has led us to where we are today” “The difference between hiring someone who is fantastic and hiring one who is a disaster can make or break a business” ABOUT THE GUEST: James Reed is the Chairman of REED – Britain’s biggest and best-known recruitment brand and the largest family-owned recruitment company in the world. James first joined the company in 1992 after graduating from Harvard Business School. Since then REED has become a billion-pound business and reed.co.uk – the first of its kind, established in 1995 – is the UK’s number one recruitment site. James is a regular media commentator, with TV appearances including BBC News, Sky News, BBC Radio 2 and The Apprentice.

Media, advertisers and even top sports do not want you to see Gambling as the negative thing that it truly is. Rob calls Gambling the ‘hidden money killer’, listen in to this episode to find out why! KEY TAKEAWAYS  You cannot win in Gambling. If you could, it wouldn’t be the big business that it is. 2.5 million people in the UK are official gambling addicts. It breaks marriages, it breaks homes and it ruins lives. It also costs the government and therefore the tax payer, millions. Gambling is not the way to make money, saving is, investing is. You can’t control Gambling and you are set up to lose. BEST MOMENTS  “ It is praying on the weak, the susceptible…it is impossible to win in gambling” “Gambling is the hole that can never be filled and this is why it is an addiction and it should be treated as such” [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 watched a movie based on a true story and wondered how much of that is actually true? Well on an exciting episode of today's podcast Rob is joined by Jordan Belfort, the real-life Wolf Of Wall Street. They discuss the similarities and differences between real life and what was shown in the movie, as well as how learning from your mistakes can enable a successful comeback. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everybody makes mistakes and everybody does great things. You are going to make mistakes in life and perhaps get in some trouble along the way. The fact that others may be making the same mistakes, or not playing by the rules still doesn’t make it right. Don’t look back on your mistakes and make excuses for them, the good stuff you will do with your life will outweigh any of the bad mistakes you may have made. You should never doubt yourself and your ability to be successful again, after losing everything. When you are good at what you do, perhaps you can sell at a high level, and you understand the business skills and mindset of someone great, you can always come back from adversity. You may not make your comeback in the same way as before, you may go on an accidental journey to your new-found success. Learn from your previous mistakes and turn them into life lessons, by taking something that you used abused, and flipping it in a different way. Take that power and redirect the energy in the exact opposite direction and turn it into amazing things. Delay your gratification, don’t try to make it tomorrow. Many of the early problems you may face in your career will be based on an inability to delay your desire for instant gratification. True disruption is really about going into a market and finding a much better way of doing things, and as a result of that putting most of the people that are doing the service out of business or forcing them to adapt to the better business model.  BEST MOMENTS “I do so much great stuff around the world, I help so many people.” “The evolution of the human spirit took about two and a half years” “Good things take time” ABOUT THE GUEST Jordan Ross Belfort is an American author, motivational speaker, and former stockbroker.

KEY TAKEAWAYS  The news of Elon buying a large share of Twitter has increased the share price significantly, Elon has reportedly already made 1.2million from buying his stake.

When Donald Trump announced he was creating a social media app to disrupt big-tech, Rob had mixed feelings but he believed that many companies and the centralisation of media did and still does need to be disrupted. Listen in to this episode to hear why he had these thoughts and how the app is doing now. KEY TAKEAWAYS The app has been branded a failure because there is a waiting list of over a million and it doesn’t even work on android, among various other issues. De-platforming and cancel culture is rife across social media and this is why Rob believes we need to see the de-centralisation of social media. If we continue to allow social media to have this much power over free-speech then we are giving them too much control, over more than just what people post on Facebook, but the political landscape as well.

Join Rob in an interesting, reflective and emotive episode where he speaks with entrepreneur and content creator Dan Gregory. Nothing is off limits in this thought-provoking episode and they discuss many topics including the controversial world of politics right now, whether we are on the brink of world war three and the serious implications of social media on society today. KEY TAKEAWAYS With everything happening in the world right now both Rob and Dan agree we are closer to world war three than we have ever been. There has been a large break-down of diplomacy and some of this can be attributed to lack of relationships between world leaders. Language is being used as a weapon, this is exactly what is present in the current ‘cancel culture’ we are seeing across media platforms. If we take a step back and look at the current climate as a bigger picture, then we can see we are just at a certain point in an ever moving, continuous and repetitive cycle through history. We all have differing sets of values, this is at the root of all conflict. If we were able to respect each other’s differing values and opinions we could navigate conflict better. If you don’t fight for freedom of speech for the people you don’t agree with, then it’s a spiral downwards. Everyone should have the right for free speech and if it gets to a real dangerous or criminal point then that is where the government should step in, not before. There is massive price pressure in the UK and across the world due to lack of innovation, supply issues and political problems. We live in an incredibly complex world, but what works for social media are catchy sound bites. This influences what information gets ‘carried’ and broadcasted the most, whatever sounds simple and catchy. Rather than what matters, counts or is the full truth. There is a big difference between capitalism and corporatism. What we are seeing in the world today is corporatism and all the issues and negatives that brings with it. Challenge and stress create space and energy to grow. Without these things individuals and humanity as a whole wouldn’t ever evolve. BEST MOMENTS “I think we’re the closest to world war three than we’ve ever been” “I’m frustrated as we surely should be more evolved…I feel like we are going backwards” “Those who hold the greatest wealth and power, determine the future of humanity” [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.

Rob wants to share an epic fail he has seen a lot when people are trying to make a living. Whether you are a business owner, entrepreneur or simply trying to get ahead listen to this episode to make sure you are NOT still doing this EPIC fail in 2022! KEY TAKEAWAYS Unfortunately there is a lot of homelessness in Rob’s hometown but often he is unable to help as he doesn’t have cash to give them. In the same way, a flower stall he wanted to buy flowers from, didn’t take payments from a phone. Both times he could have given these people his money but was unable to. You need to make it easy for people to buy from you, you need to take all forms of payment including applepay! Money loves speed and hates friction. Make it as easy as possible for people to pay you!

It has been suggested that the government are going to be issued fines for the parties they had during UK lockdowns. Listen in to this episode to hear why Rob is pleasantly surprised that this may happen now as well as how he thinks it will play out.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob has sympathy for the fact that this government has had to deal with a pandemic and wars other governments haven’t, however, if you lock the country down then you have to follow your own rules. You can’t have a party every month when people can’t even open their businesses and visit their dying family. There wasn’t just one party, the enquiry has invested 12 separate events that happened in government during lockdowns. Quite understandably the conflict in Ukraine has overtaken the breaking of lockdown rules and the pressure on Boris Johnson but this doesn’t mean we should forget about it. We are supposed to be living in a democracy, we have to stand up and speak out when they government have done wrong.  BEST MOMENTS “It seemed like again and again things that the government did that they should have been held accountable for they were going to get away with” “The media seems almost serendipitous to the Prime Minister” “We the people put the government in power, we the people must hold them accountable” [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.
