Take this information to come up with your ideal client profile such as previous work experience, age and location and then use this to find your ideal client. There are certain signs to look out for when dealing with a difficult client if a client is defamatory or leverages you in a threatening way (such as exposing you on social media) it may be wise to refund them and ask them to leave. In some instances, you may let down the client. You should not get rid of these clients if they have reasonable reasons to complain. You should fix your product and service and go over and beyond to make it up to them. Be careful who you attract when you offer discounted prices for your services. When you do a discount, track the kind of clients that you attract because you may be attracting the type of client that puts you into negative margin due to admin and customer service overheads.    BEST MOMENTS “If you do that you’re not going to have many difficult clients.” “There’s people that maybe feel that they’ve got more rights than they have.” “There’s a lot of people out there that want a tenner for a fiver!”    [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 your own worst critic? Do you always see the bad in what you’ve created rather than the good? Learn today why you and many other entrepreneurs feel this way and why you have to stop hating on yourself! Learn the importance of giving yourself a pat on the back and acknowledging your success and why sharing it with others is not a bad thing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Realistically, As an entrepreneur you are going to get hate, criticism from trolls and competitors, however, this hate doesn’t compare to the hate that you give yourself. Many entrepreneurs are committed to a lifelong journey of personal development and growth, yet they often hate on themselves. Every time you beat yourself up, lift yourself up. Whenever you critique your work, look for something you also did well in. Whenever you put yourself down for not having a particular skill or talent, look at the skills you do have and what you have already achieved with them. Honour who you are, and give yourself credit for both the small and the big wins, pick out your strengths and be kind to yourself by forgiving yourself and not comparing yourself to others. Don’t be ashamed to share your success. Facts are facts and you are not bragging when you are sharing facts. Your followers and clients want to know what you’re good at, if they don’t they won’t use your product or service as they won't know your success.   BEST MOMENTS “My haters don’t hate on me, they hate on a version of me that they think they understand, but they don’t.” “You have gifts, skills and talents as an entrepreneur otherwise you wouldn’t be on the journey that you’re on.” “If you cannot pat yourself on the back, and acknowledge your strengths, then you will be cursed as an entrepreneur.”   [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 always wanted to start your own podcast but not sure where to start? Have you worried about whether it will be successful or if you’ll be able to get sponsors? Well, discover today how all this is possible as Rob is joined by three people whose podcasts regularly top the podcasts charts. Discover how they turned their hobby into an income and how you can do the same.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Develop your passions into something that can turn into a moneymaker. When you forget about what you think people want and what people will pay for and just do what you want then it will become really popular. If you have an interest in your topic this will come through in your content. When you start your podcast, you may not think you are not very good at interviewing however the more practice you get, the better you will become. A good interviewer makes time for preparation for the guest, listens and gives people the space to talk. Podcasting is an easy passive thing to do, you can listen to it whenever and wherever you like as a form of escapism. People are starting to use podcasts as an easy way to get their personal brand out there. It is an authentic version of reality as opposed to the scripted and structured reality seen on other platforms. Many brands are yet to branch out into podcast advertising and sponsorships. It is about having connections and conversations with brands and not being afraid to be turned down or going back to them a month later with some new ideas. The more you do that, the tide will come and the sponsors will come to you. Your job as a podcaster should be creating great content, getting really good guests and marketing your podcast in as many countries to as many listeners as possible as well as monetising your podcast.   BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes you're allowed to do your podcast for you.” “You get this little window into the casual person.” “He probably wouldn’t get the podcast done if it wasn’t for us.”   [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.

“All ideas are rubbish”? Is this statement true? Do you think your ideas aren’t worth anything? Tune in today to discover why this disruptive statement is only partly correct...Rob gives his take on this controversial statement and explains why asking others for their expertise can elevate your ideas and allow them to grow and gain momentum and it is this that can turn a rubbish idea into an incredible idea.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The statement “All ideas are rubbish” is only partly correct. The truth is ideas are only rubbish until they are proven otherwise. Everyone who believes they have a good idea will only see the upside of it. Others may point out the downsides as they have a more balanced view. It doesn’t matter who comes up with the idea or if people shoot own the ideas. What matters is you keep coming up with them, they're tested and then the ones that work are scaled up and the ones that don’t work are scaled back. Ultimately a lot of ideas are just solutions to problems. Sometimes you are solving the wrong problems or solving the problem in the wrong way. Taking an existing idea and making it more user friendly, accessible and higher quality is a great skill to have. Ask people for ideas. Get experience from lots of different types of people allowing these experiences to flow into your brain and filter through everything that you already know and then come up with something unique that has demand. If you overly want to control and get the credit for an idea, it is likely that this idea will not grow. Giving other people credit for the idea will allow it to grow and gain momentum.   BEST MOMENTS “An idea is rubbish until proven to be good” “Having a lot of ideas is good if you need to create new solutions” “If you try and come up with these ideas on your own, you struggle.”   [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.

There’s an entrepreneur curse that you need to avoid, but do you even know what it is? In today’s episode discover what the curse is and how it affects us, learn how to overcome it and how you too can change a curse into an opportunity and become a “momentum junkie”. Many entrepreneurs jump at new opportunities before finishing existing projects, learn today how to focus your momentum to maximise results and distribute your time wisely.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The greatest curse for an entrepreneur is the constant “start, stop, start, stop” cycle. Many entrepreneurs get lured in by new and exciting opportunities, sometimes they may not have that filter to see that now is not the right time. Many projects may go unfinished, or you may overwork yourself. Once you’ve started something, see it through. On average, it takes half an hour to get into momentum and for the good quality work to happen. If you’re task jumping multiple times a day, you are wasting many hours of the day being distracted instead of focusing on key result areas. It is risky to just focus on one singular thing, many entrepreneurs are generalists. What you must become good at doing, is moving from task to task and being able to gain momentum instantly. As well as moving from task to task strategically. The time management model “70, 20, 10” encourages you to have as many as three streams of income, and distribute your time wisely. Your main focus should be your main source of income and enjoyment, and your time and focus filters down throughout your other two income streams.     BEST MOMENTS “We’re great at starting things, we take risks.” “Become a momentum junkie.” “We have to be generalists as entrepreneurs.”   [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.

Niche business owners have a massive opportunity to disrupt their industry and build a vast online brand, however, you must be able to rethink the way in which you market your products, how you’re leveraging paid and free social media channels and consider how much value you’re really giving your customers. Listen in to hear Rob’s 7 C’s to build your brand, grow your business and dominate your niche, how you can harness the power of content marketing and what fair exchange and sustainable wealth really means to your business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Any niche business should be looking at the lockdown as an opportunity, a way to take a holistic view of their industry and add service-based online value to its customers. You need to become a modern commodity-based business that can also offer a service and an experience to the customer Your business may be solving the existing problems of your customers but in order to disrupt you need to survey, talk and communicate with your customers further so that you can solve not just their existing problems but the future problems they may face. Niche businesses are not leveraging content marketing to its full potential. If you’re looking to build a pipeline of leads and clients actively searching for your businesses products and services you need to follow the 7 C’s framework to build you a vast brand. Content, consistency, channels, community, celebrity, courage & critics = cashflow. If you’re not leveraging free social media and paid for online social media ads, you’re missing out. As a niche business in order to grow your brand, you need to diversify your online profile across multiple social media channels, post multiple pieces of unique content and as a result, you will receive multiple streams of leads to your business. The concept of fair is exchange is an equilibrium between the consumer value and the producer’s margin. The formula for fair exchange is: Wealth = Value + Exchange x Leverage. There are laws that govern money. The wealthy understand and leverage them, the poor are a victim to them.   BEST MOMENTS “Content marketing is building up goodwill first” “You don’t want to get into a race to provide the cheapest possible product in your market” “If you do not disrupt, change or look for new solutions in your market you will not survive” “If you don’t evolve, grow and adapt you’re not going to be able to continue your business without outside disruption.” “Customers do not buy based on price, they buy based on value.”   [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.

Understand that you need to adapt your routine and expectations from what they were pre-pandemic as well as how you can focus your time on your main priorities, how to deal with lost days and why planning time to pivot your business and focus on income-generating tasks is essential to success in uncertain times.   KEY TAKEAWAYS During isolation, you've got to do things differently than you did before. Sit down and create your new routine, new working environment and create new habits. You should expect some lost days, and that is okay. As we get further into lockdown, and we still can not predict how this will go, you have to be kind to yourself sometimes and just take every day as it comes. Each time there is a new development to make a plan. Plan how you can pivot your business, new opportunities, partnerships, key result areas and income-generating tasks. Planning ahead is action and progress and gives you some strategies to move forward. Get clear on your priorities. One good thing about the lockdown is that it will highlight your priorities to you, and allow you to make clear and instant decisions on where you put your time. Take each day at a time. It is easy to feel lost and down, but take each hour of the day at a time by putting effort into your key life areas and key business areas put in as much time as you can into creating your products and services.   BEST MOMENTS “You cannot expect to get the same results as you did here months ago.” “Sometimes when the fear kicks in your brain you go into doomsday mode.” “Take it one day at a time.”   [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.

If you’ve always dreamed of trying something new, starting up a new project or going in a different direction in life, and you’re struggling with people telling you you’ll never be successful...this is how to overcome it. Learn when the right time to start your business is and why it’s better to have tried and failed than have never tried at all.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Ignore people out there that are constantly telling you not to start new things. If you want to start new projects, you should go ahead and do it. Those who tell you the odds are not in your favour may be statistically correct, but they are emotionally wrong. If there is something you are wanting to do that you are enthusiastic about and is in alignment with your personal values then you should absolutely go ahead and check if it will work for you. Regardless of whether or not your product is deemed ‘successful’ once you have produced it, it is still a success that you even got it out there in the first place. It is better to regret something you have done than regret something you haven’t done. The time that is right for you is when you’re ready, not when the market was ready or when the opportunities were at their peak. You can only get into something when you decide to. If you are half-hearted about your projects, then it is very unlikely that you will get anywhere but when you know inside you that there is something that you are meant to do then you should go and do it, and do it well.   BEST MOMENTS “The statistics are against you, but they’re against everyone else too.” “If you look at all successful entrepreneurs, it is not their first business.” “If it is right then you should do it, because it's hard.”   [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. In 1999, he pleaded guilty to fraud and related crimes in connection with stock-market manipulation and running a boiler room as part of a penny-stock scam. He published the memoir The Wolf of Wall Street in 2007, which was adapted into a film with the same name and released in 2013.Jordan has given any  motivational speeches and runs sales seminars entitled "Jordan Belfort's Straight Line Sales Psychology" When he first began speaking, he focused largely on motivation and ethics, then moved his focus to sales skills and entrepreneurship.   [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.

Discover how to break the common cycle in peoples lives of ‘good, bad, over and repeat’ today. Rob discusses how to create realistic expectations from people in your personal and professional lives and learning how to take responsibility for bad outcomes even if you’re not to blame.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people live their lives in the same pattern of ‘Good, bad, over, repeat.’ They apply this to many if not all aspects of their lives, from relationships to their business or work lives. This stop and start mentality is like setting yourself up to fail. When a new opportunity arises in someone’s life some people may have a naive fantasy that the situation is better than it actually is, therefore setting themselves up to fail because they have set unrealistic expectations from someone or something. The way to break this pattern is to have realistic expectations. Do not expect things or relationships to be a miracle, expect it to take it to where you want it to go but have the foresight to expect challenges you may face along the way. Expect to grow and support yourself and not just your partners or staff members and meet your own needs as well as theirs. Take responsibility for yourself when it goes bad, it may not be your fault but if you own the responsibility of it going bad, rather than blaming someone else. With these new steps, you can change the pattern to ‘Average, good, better, great.’ A slower process but less likely to fail.    BEST MOMENTS “It is like going up a big ladder and down a big snake.” “The good is too good.” “What about you could you change? Be the change that you want to see.”   [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.
