Been Saying This for 10 Years & Finally They Listen to me [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

The lockdown can be about new beginnings and new opportunities but we must take lessons from the lockdown about how to adapt, change and pivot our businesses. The lockdown has reminded us about what’s valuable and taught us some hardcore lessons but ultimately it’s how we implement those lessons. Tune in to hear Rob’s thoughts on how we can not only survive but thrive through the lockdown and discover the single most important concept disruptive entrepreneurs need to know right now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The lockdown has bought about many opportunities to create lifestyle businesses and empire businesses and taught entrepreneurs some very real lessons about increasing your results, income, reach and revenue. Speed Is one of the most important concepts about being a disruptive entrepreneur. The quicker you pivot, the quicker you can adapt to the current economic times and the quicker you plan and implement will contribute to your success more than anything during the lockdown. For businesses, the quicker you get your products and services online, the quicker you re-allocate your marketing spend and the quicker you make decisions in your business to maximise current opportunities will determine how you can make up lost revenue and in-fact find an audience you didn’t know you had before. When launching a new product in these uncertain times, use the price elasticity model to test products for free and you determine your product price vs value.   Rob’s community opportunities during lockdown and thoughts on how the world will change: Virtual video property tours and online networking and online events. More millionaires are made during a recession, be ready to diversify. Complete digitalisation of the economy. The importance of having a routine and financial planning. Consistency, self-mastery and training. Adapting your business with the use of technology. Building a war chest for the next recession. Starting a podcast and increasing your reach. The movement towards premium and paid content.   BEST MOMENTS “Don’t just survive through these times, thrive through these times” “You need to have a business mentality of the quick and the dead.” “There’s a fine balance between overwhelm and productivity” “I’ve proven I can be twice as quick and productive during this virus then I thought I could be” “It’s not evolution anymore, it’s revolution” “Expect the best and prepare for the worst”   [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.

What’s HOT Right Now on Lockdown [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

During the lockdown, many people have been given the gift of time, it’s an opportunity to learn, grow and develop your skills and today, Rob shares with you ‘what’s hot right now’ and how you can maximise the opportunity of lockdown with online courses, e-Commerce businesses, social media, podcasting and masterminds. If you’re looking to expand your skill set, mindset and grow a profitable business during the extra time spend at home, this episode is for you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS E-commerce is booming at the moment. It is important to not go into this blindly and not to do the “grabby” e-commerce such as toilet paper which does not have longevity. Online courses, events and masterminds are thriving during the lockdown. You could offer these courses for free, and your product could thrive off the back of it, yourself as an entrepreneur can make use of these online services, you are likely to have more spare time, therefore, there is greater opportunity to double down on your learning and grow your online support. Social media is uplifting during the lockdown, consumers are more active on social media and therefore you are able to get more reach with your content, gain followers, prospects and clients. Another great opportunity during the lockdown is podcasting, you have an abundance of time, if you record just one a day during the predicted 90-day lockdown, you could produce almost 2 years worth of content for weekly podcast It is really important to have a routine during the lockdown. When you have a routine, you have direction and accountability. If you are more ruthless about your time and productivity, you can get everything done in three hours as opposed to the eight hours you would have before if you cut out all the distractions.   BEST MOMENTS “How long is it going to be until life gets back to some sort of normality” “There are all these opportunities right now” “Don’t waste the time that we have now”   [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.

Caffeine Cast: My FIRST Therapy Session Since the Virus | it’s a BIG ONE! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

What can therapy do for you? Rob reflects on his most recent therapy session where he focuses on the importance of materialistic items and how this has changed throughout the years as well as looking at ways to deal with inevitable conflict and how to survive through the current pandemic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Attaches happiness to materialistic items such as watches, cars and music stations because when he was younger he received gifts along with spending time with his parents. Materialistic things do not matter in the long run. Cash and liquidity is king in the current climate. Many people buy materialistic things for the rush when buying them, but the comedown still comes. Another benefit of the current climate is being much more connected to people, such as friends, family, and clients. Before the recent pandemic, there was so much focus on insignificant things, that no longer seem relevant. Many of us were sweating the small stuff, but now is the time to focus on the bigger things in life. The Coronavirus and its effect on the world can cause people to rise to the occasion. People are more productive, working faster and harder and able to build greater connections. With the Coronavirus pandemic, there has been much more conflict in the world. With too much conflict you create chaos, however, with enough conflict, you delay but inevitably still end up with chaos. Many people will avoid conflict, but at some point, you will have to face it so it is better to do so sooner rather than later. Leaving unresolved conflict, may cause you to stew and overthink things and you will eventually project your unresolved emotions onto someone who may not deserve it, and you will end up having a meltdown. Both extremes are bad. Conflict doesn’t always mean arguments; it could simply be giving feedback, instructions or reprimanding someone. It is important when addressing conflict to know when to address it and to know when to back away. Hustle through these times and do what you can, sell your products and services to the best of your ability and fight to keep your head above water. However, make sure you do see your family and those who are important to you as well as taking some time for yourself. Human beings have to look after themselves, support each other and small businesses more, however giving to other people is valuable and much more fulfilling.

RANT: Scared of the Virus? So Are Your Competition [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

It’s real. There’s a global pandemic. It probably will last for some time and will impact the UK economy. Your worries for today and the future are very valid. But, in this episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob wants you to have (a little) optimism for the upcoming days which can propel you to move amid the crisis.

You can’t even have peace of mind which might be detrimental also to your health and wellbeing.Stop worrying. If you’re business is at a halt it is most likely that your competition is too. Stay positive and keep moving. Yes, we can’t deny that this is a huge shakeup for the entire world. But the current situation doesn’t warrant you to sulk and to stop improving. Rob sees this as an opportunity to increase your reach, market capitalization, human capital, etc. While everyone is thinking of pausing, double down.

Lawrence Dallaglio: Legendary England Rugby Player & World Cup Winner [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob is joined by England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio and they get into all things rugby and business. After retiring from an amazing rugby career in 2008, Lawrence tells us what he has been doing since, from the businesses he runs to regular punditry as well as his honorable charitable work. Don’t miss this insightful interview with an English Rugby legend.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Q. Lawrence, what are you up to now? A.I retired from rugby in 2008, it is an ever-fading memory. I was a rugby player who worked before they got into rugby, I was a surveyor, I owned the property industry when it was on its knees in the early ’90s just as the game of rugby came along, and when I turned professional. I sort of parked the property side of things for a while, though I would give rugby a go. Sport is quite an exhausting career, there are enormous highs and enormous lows I was actually quite excited to retire,it was relentless and there’s only so much of that that you can do. I had a number of different things that I had set my heart on for when I retired. I ran a call center company for a while, which was exciting, we then sold that business to Serco which went well. I then set up a hospitality business called “The Green Room” which is still going now. I have always kept a close alignment to rugby because that’s been in my life for the best part of 20 years. I remain beloved in Wasps, the club I was at for 20 years and we have gone on an amazing journey since I have left, I sit on the board of that club. I was lucky enough to work closely with BBC Sport, I helped to launch the channel with Jake Humpherries and Clare Baldwin, and I am currently a commentator and pundit for them. I recently concluded a sports marketing business called BBH Sport where we were looking after brands who had invested in sponsorships and they didn’t understand o to bring that to life. Quite a diverse portfolio, and that’s the way I always wanted it to be really.   Q. What did you have to learn when you came out of rugby? A. There are a lot of similarities, believe it or not. I think it is about understanding how it works, for that particular environment but equally when you come into a different organisation, there are things that you need to learn and adapt and understand what motivates people, building a strong culture within any environment doesn’t matter whether it is the sport or work it is really important.   Q. What does the word culture mean to you? A. Well, it is a set of behaviours really, there’s a set of behaviour that is important in any environment. It is the same at home, some families behave in a weird way, some behave differently. That denies how you perceive each other, and how people externally perceive you. That is what culture is, it is an internal message and feeling as well as an external one. It is important to generate the right feelings as often how people perceive you is really important, how does your competition perceive you? Do they find you inspirational or aspirational? It is also about your group living and breathing those behaviours.   Q. Was there a moment in your career when you knew you would make it? A. Rugby is an interesting one, as soon as you’ve made it another bigger player comes along! It is quite a humble sport. I think for me the process of our development as a human being starts from a young age. I was very lucky to have been born healthy and into a cool environment which gave me two things in my life which were unconditional love which I think is amazing, and secondly, they gave me a belief system that you can go out there and achieve anything that you want to achieve. My parents are both from working-class backgrounds and both worked incredibly hard and provided me with love and belief. So you asked me, when did you think you can make it? Well, an early age really because every time I didn’t think I could make it I was continually reinforced with that belief of going out there and doing it.   Q. Were you scared of Jonah Lomu? A. Scared is the wrong word, yes he is huge. When he comes running at you I have never seen a mountain run but he is enormous. Unfortunately, I played against him in 1999 and I ran towards him and I timed my run so I didn’t have to make a tackle against him, I ended up accidentally hitting him in the nose when he was scoring a try and it looked like a volcano had erupted! He was a special player who is sadly no longer with us, who saved his best performances for England. A phenomenon.   Q. Can you remember the worst piece of advice you have ever had? A. I have been given advice that has turned out to be wrong. The opposite of good advice is telling you that you can’t do things. Negative energy, there’s radiators and drains, and we don’t like drains, we like people who radiate good energy.   Q. Did you ever have people along the way telling you you weren’t going to make it? And did that motivate you? A. Oh yes absolutely, I think it does motivate you. School teachers, and all sorts of people that you might have met along your journey that kind of motivated you a bit more and maybe they say it because they secretly like you and want you to do well. I think part of rising up is falling down, that is a familiar picture we have all seen. There have been moments when you have been down, and then you rebuild yourself whether it be reputationally, physically or emotionally and I have had to do that a couple of times. I had 14 operations in a year, it took me a while to repair, but I am only 47 I am sure the body will break down again soon!   Q.What does the word disruptive mean to you? A.Disruptive means someone who challenges conventional thinking. You can be disruptive and that is good, I like disruptive. When the world zigs, zags. When everyone goes one way, go another way because that challenges conventional thinking.   BEST MOMENTS “Getting your face smashed in all over the world, is a little bit overrated” “I am a firm believer that we arrive in this world with nothing, and we leave with nothing, that we can guarantee” “Shoot for the moon and you will be amongst the stars” “Part of rising up is falling down” [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.

EMERGENCY: Now is NOT the Time to Reflect! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Though the situation asks us to self-quarantine and stay put in our own homes, now is NOT the time to rest. For Rob, it’s still hustle and grind. Plainly his choice. But if you can do it too, he thinks you’ll make a big change in your business and career once we get out of this crisis. What Rob sees as problematic: people see this as a chance to slack off—by allotting much more time than usual to resting. Not all people will agree, but try to hear him out. Tune into the latest episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast to know more about what you can do during this time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob sees an opportunity to all of this. We can do our part as citizens—stay informed, follow the protocols, and help other people—whilst also bettering ourselves. There is definitely no pause in personal improvement. Entrepreneurs, you can have your time to reflect too—even if you grind & hustle during your isolation. This global health crisis brings anxiety and fears to most, so peace of mind will be needed. Maintain your momentum. You can find alternatives, even you’re at home. You can even consider this time to start your long overdue projects. Now’s the time. The world needs people right now, those who think and move with a cause. It’s the best time to put your skills and knowledge to good use. There are problems to be solved. You can help other people through your services. BEST MOMENTS “I’m not all about hustle and grind.” “When you’ve got a day of just nothing, a blackhole, with no structure or routine, it’s quite easy to just bounce around like an atom in an open space.” “Being busy is a really good distraction from going to a depressive state.” [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.

Caffeine Cast: Dealing With Disruptive Times: Thriving Instead of Surviving [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Are you worried about how an urgent pandemic will affect your business? It’s a challenging and uncertain time but it’s in these times that not only can your business survive, but it can thrive. It’s a chaotic time for business and disruption is everywhere, but if you know how to plan, react and see the opportunities that it brings you can be successful throughout it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many ways in which you can thrive through this pandemic. Firstly you can start by not cancelling things that don’t require cancelling. The reality of business is that your competitors are probably scared, scaling back and cancelling things. If you have 50% less competition you have actually now got a bigger market than before. People like to think that everything stops, which is incorrect, things might just slow down. You may be able to benefit from this pandemic if you react quickly to the current changes and think of the best outcome but plan for the worst and think about how you can grow through this. Many of the biggest companies in the world are born from a recession because the playing field is level and everyone starts again. There is going to be a new type of market and a new type of client as well as new opportunities from a drop in the stock market. Make a plan for your business during this time. Having 2 or levels of plans for how the market and world is changing will help you to be ahead of the curve and pivot at a moment's notice. Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy, as well as not just surviving but being able to thrive during chaotic times.   BEST MOMENTS “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” “Thrive when others are trying to survive” “For some companies and some entrepreneurs, this is going to be their best time ever”   [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.

Jim McColl OBE: Billionaire Investor & Scotlands Richest Man [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How do you become successful? There’s no one size fits all formula, but there are some essential elements that you need to know about if you want to become successful. In today’ episode, Rob interviews Scottish billionaire and founder of Clyde Blowers Capital, Jim McColl OBE. Rob and Jim discuss what it takes to become successful, how to motivate yourself, how to educate yourself, how to have an unwavering self-belief and how to take risks. Tune in today to discover the insider secrets to entrepreneurial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Things you need to do for you to be successful. Everyone in life has his or her own needs, someone wants a big house, someone wants a nice car, someone wants to buy land or property, these are the things that drive us to work hard, but the extent of how hard you work depends on how much you want that thing. Have that belief that your ideas are achievable even when people think that your ideas are crazy. You must have self-belief because when people think that your ideas are crazy, you should know that they are big enough and you have to prove them wrong for not believing in your ideas and you have to prove yourself right that you have an achievable, big idea. Taking the first step in doing what you wanted to do is the most essential thing you can do in your business and personal life. Don’t just sit there and keep on saying that you have a business idea and you are not doing anything about it. Your idea could be the next big thing in future. Take the first step and do something about it, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. This is the key to becoming the next big entrepreneur. You should also have that hunger for education, be willing to learn so that you can acquire the knowledge to build a business and run it smoothly and scale-up. Be willing to learn from the best and from people who have achieved success in their lives and their business lives as well. Start your business and do as much homework as you can to mitigate the risk, understand the market, be the expert in the sector you're in, do as much as you can and learn the competition in the markets, the products they're looking for and then make the decision. Be a person that is always willing to take risks in everything that you do because you can never be an entrepreneur or you can never achieve anything if you are not a person that takes risks. Big opportunities always come with great risks. Taking risks gives you pressure, you become responsible for more and more people. You feel a responsibility for them as you grow and it gets to a point where it's not all about you anymore. If you do something crazy and it doesn't work, that's fine if it's just you that it impacts, but if you've got hundreds or thousands of people that would be damaged, that becomes a real burden. And that's what makes you lose sleep at night. Have a positive visualization and have a clear vision, a storyboard for where you're going. When you start your business, you need to have a plan of what you want it to achieve or where you want it to be in a certain amount of period. Having a plan helps you to stay focused on your goals all the time. For you to be successful in your personal life and your business life, you must be willing to sacrifice a lot of your time and be willing to put in hard work. You have to be willing to get tired. Choosing the right people to work with is also a key element to having a very successful business. BEST MOMENTS “The business that you're in is the best business to be in.” "Bonuses of doing better in your business, you get to meet some nice people and interesting people." "The need for something is what that drives you forward.” “If people do not think your ideas are crazy, then your ideas are not big enough.” “Sometimes the bigger risk is not doing something.” “Go big or go home.” "Awards should mean nothing because they don't change who you are." “Most people don’t want to see you being successful.”   ABOUT THE GUEST James Allan McColl OBE is a Scottish businessman and entrepreneur. He was born on 22 December 1951 (age 68 years) Carmunnock, Glasgow, United Kingdom. He is responsible for the development of Clyde Blowers. In 2007, he was placed tenth on the Sunday Times Rich List in Scotland. He is best known for Clyde Blowers Capital.

Try to study your peers, the great artists of the time or even in history, don’t be driven by ego and saying that you want to be unique. Having an ego and saying that you know it all, you will miss out on some influence or some movements or some trends that are happening at the moment and this may lead to a very huge loss to you or your company. Copy the great or people who have achieved greatness in their lives if you have to because you will see great results in your business and personal life. If you want to build a great business, you're wise to learn from businesses that have gone before you that have blazed the trail, that has made mistakes, that have gained experience that are more resilient, they have more reach, more impact, they have wisdom and they have resources. The second element is to study external business models and sources and get your inspiration outside of your niche.Borrow influences in those external, non-niche business models and bring them into your business model. And what that does is that creates something that your competitors do not do. You borrow the best bits of your competitors, which is element one, but then you create an external, non-competitive marketplace, strategies, tactics, influences and creativity and that’s when you've got something unique. The third element then of creating a unique business and or brand is you and your uniqueness and your inspiration and your personality and your flavour. Who are you? Who are you naturally? How do you express yourself and who you are? Honour who you are. Honour what you've done. Honour what you know. Honour what's unique about you. Honour your strengths. Honour your weaknesses. Honour your flaws. Honour your own experiences. BEST MOMENTS “Good artists copy great artist’s steal.” “Be great by modelling the traits of the greats and modelling competitors.” “If you learn from everyone, even outside your niche, then you're even more unique.” “Learn from competitors, who you perceive screw people over, or you think do business badly or wrong, or learn from people whose values are completely different from you.” “If you've gone to the point where you have learned from your competitors, you've learned from slightly wider niche and you're learning from a completely different niche that you're inspired by, if you're at that level already, then now start studying people you think you didn't like.” “Don’t do what your competitors do badly, but model what they do well.” “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.” “Learn from everyone above you, elite, equal to you, below you, be an open-minded person.” [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.
