Disruptors

In times of change there is disruption, evolution and revolution but not all entrepreneurs are able to successfully adapt to change. In today’s episode Rob shares his focused and entrepreneurial 6 phases of change model to evolve and grow your business in times of disruption. Discover the cycle between order and chaos, learn how to disrupt rather than be disrupted and how to embrace change to evolve.    KEY TAKEAWAYS When you understand the phases of change you become more adaptable and can evolve quicker and you can be more disruptive. When you understand change you can better survive the effects of recessions, lockdowns and regulations. Disruption is when the status quo is challenged and the old habits are broken up. As a business you will be far more empowered if you disrupt your market or your industry, rather than waiting for you to be disrupted by someone or something else. Is your disrupted you’re reactive and if you’re disruptive you’re proactive. Denial is fear of change and delusion of progress. All entrepreneurs will have a phase of denial when there is change. Most people in business don’t know another way and when change affects that, denial strikes. Resistance is holding onto how things were done previously, a tight grasp of the present and past, rather than embracing the future and adapting to change. Acceptance is the realisation that change is happening and you embrace evolution and revolution rather than just standard progress in your business. Evaluation refers to the full range of solution emotions and the productive assessment of your business options. At this stage you turn painful emotion into forward actions that will help your business survive and thrive in times of change. Implementation is actioning new strategies and tactics in your business and implementing the previous chaos of change into the new order that will allow you to grow and scale your business in disruptive times.   BEST MOMENTS “Evolution is a cycle between chaos and order.” “Every empire is broken up between an old guard and a new order” “The more you can embrace change the quicker you can scale your enterprise” “When you get out of denial, the faster you will change and adapt” “Pressure forms a diamond” [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 The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob tackles the debate surrounding freedom of speech, a topic he’s kept quiet about for over 15 years! Should we fight for our right to speak and say what we want regardless of the consequences? Or should we be held more accountable for defamation, bullying and criticism? Join the discussion as Rob weighs in on the effects of social media, how you can harm your business and your brand by sharing your opinion and the mindset you need to evolve in a world filled with critics, haters and trolls.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom of speech is having the right and the freedom to express. The freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference and regardless of frontiers. We’re banning people on social media platforms just because we don’t agree with their opinions and their concepts. It’s every individual’s right to share their opinion in any way they wish but is it too easy for business owners to harm their brand, their business and their reputation by sharing their views on social media. If we limit freedom of speech are main rights are being taken away from us but at what point should there be accountability? Should we be allowed to bully, defame and troll others on social media without any consequences? The world would be a better place if we could disagree with people without judging them and have differing opinions without one being right and one being wrong. It’s important to surround yourself with people that challenge you and open your mind up to new ideas and new ways of thinking. This will help you to evolve.   BEST MOMENTS “Social media is for discussion and should not be used for bullying and trolling.” “Could you argue that social media cannot sensor your opinion and your posts? Is your freedom of speech being affected when people are banned from social media platforms” “Never wrestle with a pig in shit. You both get covered in shit but the pig likes it” “Should we really have freedom of speech? Is it our constitutional right? Or should we be held more accountable to the things we say?” [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.

It’s all about having a positive mindset and focusing on what you want to achieve rather than going into business with the mantra that men have it better.

Too often people are just on auto-pilot but In business, you must be conscious. Having a conscious mind is stopping for a minute to plan and organise your day. Your mental state is the most important part fo your body and the language that you speak will affect your interactions with others, being conscious is strategically knowing what you’re doing and why you’re doing it   BEST MOMENTS “Women have an ability to think about situations systematically rather than just shoot from the hip” “You define yourself by what you do each day.” “If you’re an entreprneur you’re born with a certain mindset to always ask how can something be improved, how can it be changed for the better.” “If you’re able to find your passion and you love what you do that is when you will be a success in business” “There’s been some huge successes and some huge failures on Dragons Den” “What you appreciate, appreciates” “The Government have to support self-employed people during the COVID-19 pandemic”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://kellyhoppeninteriors.com/ https://www.headtalks.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-kelly-hoppen-show/id1474139882 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kelly-Hoppen-Design-Masterclass-Achieve/dp/1909342025 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.

Social media presents entrepreneurs, business owners and humanity with a great opportunity, but also a great threat. There are upsides and downsides to building your brand online and sharing your story and your journey on Social Media and in today’s episode, Rob explores the positives and the negatives, sharing his own experiences along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Social Media is a great platform for the upside of your business, it enables you to connect with your audience, your community and grow and scale your business but there are downsides too. Social media is an enabler of building your brand at a low cost and allows you to reach millions of people, build a community of customers, clients, follows and fans and solve peoples problems and all for free. Social media is worth all of the downsides because the downsides of social media will be there in business and in life regardless. There’s always an upside and a downside and all social media does is to exaggerate it. Social media is a mirror to humanity. If you use social media to help people, to build your brand and to get your message out to the masses you’re going to get more clients, find more funders, supporters and subscribers. With a vast brand, you will manifest new clients through social media.   BEST MOMENTS “If you put yourself out there on social media and share your brand and your business in an authentic way, people will hate exactly what’s great about you.” “There are inner critics and outer critics.” “Lots of people are barking on social media without doing enough research” “Too many people are using social media as a weapon” “There are upsides and downside to social media”   [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.

Focus on being valuable and useful instead of just being successful. Define your own version of success and progress towards a worthy goal. Balance self-interest and selflessness for sustainable success. Provide value and engage with your audience to build support.

How do you make admin and operational staff revenue-generating? This is a question that runs in many entrepreneur’s minds, and in today’s episode, Rob shares his advice, tips, tactics and strategies on how to monetise your business, get quality staff and services for free and how business owners and entrepreneurs can scale their business.KEY TAKEAWAYS Referrals are the best way to get staff for free because you don’t have to pay for the recruitment fee. Having friends and family members refer good people to work for you saves you a lot of money. You could offer your businesses services, whereby you'll do some of your services for someone in exchange for them doing some of their services for you before you hire your first full-time staff member. This is an equal exchange in value for you and for them. Get help from friends, family, apprentices and people who might come and do some work experience for you. This liberates you from admin, which is not an income-generating task and gives you time to work on your business and focus on income-generating tasks. You can leverage your income-generating staff such as salespeople to earn two to ten times their salary with incentives as with this you get a trackable capital return. It’s wise to incentivise your non-income generating staff such as your PA or admin staff rearing a commission on money saved. Having a job description in detail of what the job entails saves you a lot of time, effort and money. Not having one which is detailed costs you because you’ll have to incur the cost of training them. BEST MOMENTS “Entrepreneurs feel like they have to do everything themselves.”  “The more commission your staff earns, the more you earn.” “Hire revenue-generating staff from day one.” “Keep the fixed costs low and variable costs higher.” “It’s not about working harder, it's about working smarter.” [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 shares with you life’s greatest teacher that’s hidden in plain sight and exists in everything that we do. Discover the persistent and perennial lesson of the law of duality in this insightful and thought-provoking episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur. Learn that with all pain comes pleasure, that every upside has a downside and how you can balance your emotions to understand life’s lessons for maximum growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you perceive that you’re getting all challenge and pain, you’re actually getting an equal upside but when you’re in a depression, struggle and challenge it will feel that that’s all that there is.   Simultaneously you will experience both the upside and downside of any challenge and opportunity but you will not perceive both sides. Wisdom and self-mastery is when you’re up, being able to see the down and when you’re down, being able to see the up.   Nature will try and give you the opposing lesson in life. If you’re careless you will receive a lesson to be careful. The universe will pull you back into balance, as all emotions are feedback and a reaction to your environment.   When you’re too high or too low you’re furthest away from growth. Maximum growth is on the border of support and challenge. Too much support and you will become juvenile, too much challenge and you will be broken, growth is a balance of the upside and the downside. BEST MOMENTS “When you’re pedestalised someone will always put you down in the pit” “The greater the challenge the more elation you feel.” “Life is simultaneously and spontaneously giving you lessons of balance all of the time” “Being brought back into balance is vital for personal growth and development”   [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.

Are you suffering from pandemic fear? In today’ episode, Rob shares his insights on the mindset of the entrepreneur during tough times and how you can re-focus, get clarity and scale your business with a new strategy. Tune in to discover how to manoeuvre, adapt and pivot your business to combat today’s economic challenges. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fear makes people make irrational, illogical and as a result, they make emotionally and volatile decisions. Reacting to fear in this way is bad for your long term strategy, results and progress. You shouldn’t be overly fearful, you should be balanced. If you can balance your fear and see the upside in the downside, then you have a great opportunity to leverage hidden opportunity. Do not get sucked into misinformation. Do not concern yourself with misinformation, debate, discussion and arguments concerning things such as COVID. Don’t change your strategy for the sake of COVID. When people have less money or they perceive that there is less money and less opportunity, there's lots of fear and people tend to make very emotional decisions. Look for the new opportunities, be it to serve your clients differently or come up with a new product, maybe you need to disrupt yourself, maybe now is the time for you to set up your second or third income stream, maybe now is the time for you to leverage online income other income streams. You've got to be quick in everything, quick to pivot, quick to react and quick to scale when challenging situations arise or your business will be dead and become extinct. The fast entrepreneur, that is very much engaged in customers, clients and community. This entrepreneur can test quickly, react to their audience and be agile and solution-focused. BEST MOMENTS “The fear pandemic is probably as real as the real pandemic.” “It's not the strongest that will survive; it’s those that are most adaptable to change.”  “You need to let go of what was and accept what is.” “People spend the most money when they're emotionally volatile.” “Focus on what you can control and let go of everything else that you can't control.” “Necessity is the mother of invention.” [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.

Are you a Mum entrepreneur wrestling starting your business and raising your children? In today’s insightful episode Rob is joined by eight mum entrepreneurs to discuss the life of a parent and an entrepreneur. Listen in to discover how to balance the upside and the downside of entrepreneurship, lessons on how to improve your mindset when being in business and being a parent and why vision, clarity and strategy are essential to the success of a mum entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mum entrepreneurs should know that it is okay to have the ‘mum guilt’ of leaving their kids to work. Just hustle as hard as you can and everything will be okay. Women should know that every situation they're in has an upside and a downside, be it good or bad. Mums should know that when they start their businesses, it’s not going to get much easier, because getting into business comes with a set of challenges too. Don't listen to the negative vibes from other people because you’re working and you have kids. Always work harder so that you can give your kids the better life that they deserve. All children need is to feel loved. It goes much deeper than being constantly there for them, you can make all the mistakes you possibly can think of, as long as your child feels truly loved and whichever way you decide to communicate that to your child, whether it's physical, whether it's verbally, as long as that is there, that's already a huge brick in their personality building. Never judge yourself because if you're questioning everything it means that you probably lack clarity of your vision and purpose. Wisdom in parenting is understanding that you make no mistakes and you have a clear plan and strategy of how you want to raise your kids. It’s important to realise that every mistake you make is also a gift to them. Always try and get a good blend of equally serving them and equally serving you. This is what every mum entrepreneur should know. Women should eliminate the thought that being in business is being in male-dominated environments, they should understand that business is equal for men and women and they should never underestimate their capabilities. BEST MOMENTS “However hard it feels, it's going to be worth it in the end. ““Having guilt is just part of being a mother.”“It's not always hard and it doesn't always get easier.”“No matter what you do, you will get judged.”"Get judged doing something right for you and your family and your legacy."“It’s not about how many hours you've got, it's about how you use those hours.”“Don’t be scared to ask for help because it's not a weakness, it's a strength.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES The Smart Connector: The Entrepreneur's Blueprint for Business Relationship Success Kindle Edition The Wellness Entrepreneur Podcast 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.
