RANT! SHUT Your Mouth (& do This) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
“Knowing when to speak up and knowing when to shut up is business and life mastery” There are too many people out there trying to get ahead and they’re talking too much and definitely not listening enough. Everything you need to find, love, grow and discover are out there on podcasts, Youtube videos, in masterminds, on courses, and with your mentors, if you stop talking, stop interrupting and start listening. Tune in today to discover why listening matters and how to gain more information, extract more education and get more inspiration with your host, Rob Moore. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you’re talking you’re simply not listening. The information, education, and inspiration are being missed because you’re talking and not listening. If you talk, not only are you not getting information, you’re also not extracting information out of people. But when you listen and occasionally ask good questions, people will ask you all sorts of stuff that you wouldn’t get otherwise and it can make a huge difference in your business and personal development. A good example of this is viewing properties and just letting the vendor talk and share and vent and from this, you can understand their motivations and serve them better. If you want to make someone feel important just let them talk, from customers, clients, vendors, and prospects, just let them express themselves and let them talk. To allow people to talk to you and give you information and this could be your customers, leads, prospects, and clients, they must be able to feel comfortable around you must ask good questions, listen and listen with interest using your eyes, ears, and bodies. Billionaire Jim McColl has bought over 85 businesses in his industry and one of the main reasons he was able to do this was because he was simply non-threatening. Sometimes ego takes over and you try to talk and try to overcome the nervous and restless energy by talking, but this can omitted a sense of desperation and it takes a lot of wisdom, self-awareness, and self-confidence to just sit, listen and take it all in. Occasionally people stop listening and start talking when they’re triggered. They say and rant stuff online, on social media and in emails and as a result, it’s out there for good. These people can damage reputations and relationships because they don’t know when to shut up and they let their ego get the better of them. BEST MOMENTS“When people are waiting to talk, they’re not listening and they’re missing out on the details and important information that can be had from listening”“If you’re in therapy or need to have a rant and need to ‘let it out’ that’s okay, but do it privately and get permission to vent.”“You’re going to learn a lot more in a dialogue and not a monologue”“The best seat in the house at a mastermind is the person with the least money, the least experienced and the most to learn”“Wisdom is a balance of knowing when to talk and when to listen, when to express and when to act and ask questions”“Sometimes the ones that say nothing are the dark horses that listen, learn and take it all in”“Knowing when to speak up and knowing when to shut up is business and life mastery” [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.

How to Build an Engaged & Loyal Buying-Community [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Having an engaged online community of loyal fans and followers can help your business succeed in a number of ways you didn’t even realise. Today, Rob shares his tips and tricks on how to build a loyal community of customers and clients using a variety of different social media platforms. Discover the secrets to consistent and continual content marketing, how to engage in two-way communication and connect with your community and why the 80/20 rule is your best friend. Tune in today and start growing your own community right away. KEY TAKEAWAYS Make sure you’re on all social media platforms, focusing on a few platforms that you believe will give you the best leverage e.g Facebook groups. Consistent and continual content marketing. Don’t just post and run. That is not an engaged community that is a one-way community. Replying to people's content showing gratitude. Include people in your community by acknowledging them and allowing them to post. For your most active and engaged communities, give them exclusive content and bonuses that others don’t get. Have some personal elements to your social media engagement by replying to direct messages or doing one to one calls. Incentisize them to follow all your different platforms. Ask them to do things for you, this will help the audience become more connected to you. Do some associated face to face meetups as part of your online communities to help create a deeper connection and rapport. Have clear consistent guidelines and make sure you balance your promotion with their ability to promote and their ability to receive and give value. Using the 80/20 content rule. 80% of the content should be value and content based on what the community wants and need and 20% should be everything else such as personal posts. Learning to handle the critics and haters. Crowdsourcing. Ask your viewers for ideas on what content they would like to see. Consistency and persistence are key. You need to upload regular content if you want an engaging audience. Go and do public speaking. BEST MOMENTS “Start now get perfect later” “Don't turn a critic into a hater” “Organic takes longer but you will get a deeper more loyal following” [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: What Fear Really is [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Do you know what fear really is? Take a look at the evolution of fear and how in the modern world it manifests in our daily lives. Discover how to embrace and overcome fear and how to stop it from getting in the way of you achieving your goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some people say that fear is false evidence appearing real. Other people describe it as your imagination of how a future outcome will be. Many people also think fear is an emotional response to a scenario or situation. Many people forget that fear serves us as well as hinders us. All emotions are a reaction to our environment but the problem is, the environment isn't real it is our perception of the environment that is real for us. Therefore, fear is a reaction to a false perception, not an actual real one. People fear the feeling of fear, not that actual event itself. Fear is primitive, it is a programmed response that goes way back to our primitive era to help aid our survival and evolution. However, in modern-day we still feel really strong fear about daily things. Fear is a future, imagined reality felt through emotions usually overly exaggerated yet we still feel them so real in our body. Fear is a fear of the feeling in response to the environment of the things that haven't happened yet. The more fear you get yourself through and overcome gives you a thicker skin, more ability to deal with rejection and an ability to feel more fear. What you fear is not the event, it is your reaction to the event, feeling through it and embracing it in will take you to amazing levels of mastery that you have probably never experienced in your life before. BEST MOMENTS “Fear serves us as well as hinders us” “Feel through it and breath in-out” “Feel the fear and do it anyway” [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.

RANT: When People Say “Easier Said Than Done” (OMFG) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Do you often find yourself wanting to do things, but losing motivation? Thinking “it’s easier said than done”? Well, tune in today as Rob talks us through ways to combat this feeling and overcome your fears of failure to create nothing but success for yourselves! Don’t miss this inspirational episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS -When people say it is easier said than done not only are they stating the obvious, it also stops them from actually doing something. What they are really saying is that they don’t want to do it, or it is too difficult to do. - If there is something that you want to achieve and you have described it as being “easier said than done” then this has only one solution which is getting something done. - People generally tend to get band mental health when they have three or more major areas of their life that are going badly. - If you find yourself in a situation where you have three or more major things in your life that are going badly, which is contributing to poor mental health, one way to overcome this may be to focus on one area and try to improve. -You’ve got to not think about how easy or hard it is to do it and you have to chunk what it is you’re looking to do into manageable steps. - You cannot be successful without failing your way to success and doing something is better than doing nothing. - If you do nothing, it will go wrong. If you do something, it may go wrong but you can learn from your mistakes and get it right next time. -It then becomes easier done than said, if you chunk it down and just create an action plan of small steps to take. BEST MOMENTS “To know and not to do is not to know” “Stop procrastinating and start testing” “Would you rather look stupid and be successful or look good and be skint?” [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.

Sharon Carpenter: Broadcast Journalist, Producer & Entrepreneur [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Rob is joined by British broadcast journalist, producer and entrepreneur Sharon Carpenter. Sharon answers questions on how she got to be where she is today and what she has planned for the future. Sharon shares exclusive stories from working as a broadcaster in America to how she manages to balance her personal and professional life. Tune in today for this captivating interview with industry legend, Sharon Carpenter. KEY TAKEAWAYS When people who do not know you, ask what you do for a living what do you tell them? The first thing I tell them is that I am a broadcast journalist, that is because that is where I started out in more of the news side of things and then I moved over to the entertainment side of things, still as a journalist. Now I do so many different things, I am a presenter, a quiz show host, a producer. Does that make you an entrepreneur of sorts? Yes, it does. I have my own business called Carpenter Media and most of the work I do through that, I also create and develop television shows through that brand as well. Do you find it hard to have a relationship as an entrepreneur? It is hard, and I have definitely been in that situation, I do get very caught up with work so sometimes I do forget about the person I am with. I remember I was working on a presentation for a TV show that we eventually ended up selling to MTV. We were working around the clock and sometimes my boyfriend would notice that I was active on social media but was not replying to his posts, he didn’t understand that for me, social media also work. When you’re in that environment you have to be laser-focused. Sometimes there is just so much going on, your mind is so full that you’re not even thinking about that. I will say that I am understanding because of that, and I think it takes a certain type of person to be with someone in that mindset, that is really driven and wants to be successful. You really have to think about what is important to you, I do know people that have been all work focused and then they get to a point when they are like ‘oh I wish I had a family’ and they didn’t make time for that. Do you feel like you were able to stay true to yourself working in the media? When I first got into the industry, I was first a producer but I had dreams of being on camera. I remember talking to this big-time executive and he said to me “Oh so you want to be on TV?” to which I replied “Yes, it is a dream I have” he then told me “Well your English accent is a distraction!” I was devastated, I had also got a new agent who told me that maybe I should lose the accent and learn to speak with an American accent. I had to think to myself, is that really being me? If I was to go onto a station and start speaking with an American accent, that's not really real. I was trying to figure out, I’m English am I ever going to make it? I then remember going to see Sting perform, he was performing “English man in New York” and there's a line in the song “be yourself no matter what they say” and that's when I decided I was going to be myself no matter what they said! How do you deal with putting yourself out there on social media, without worrying about getting hate? You sort of has to get to a place where you don’t care. You need to build up your confidence, and to build up your confidence it is all about being good at different things. It has always been important to me to excel at things and produce good quality work, no matter what it is. All of that builds confidence, and the more the hate received will just become water off a duck's back. If you read something, don’t take it too much to heart, read it in a constructive way and take it in the best possible way. After getting so many comments, it has definitely helped me get a tough skin, what does it really matter? Not everybody is going to like you. Q.What is the best advice you have ever received? The best advice I have ever received was actually something that I heard somebody say. It was Anderson Cooper who said this in an interview “work harder than the rest, outwork everybody. Yes, talent is a certain part of it but really it's the amount of work you put in”. Q.What is the worst advice you've ever received? Learn to speak with an American accent! Although it could've been good advice actually. There are a couple of times where it could have been good for me to be able to do that, there is a sitcom and they were casting for a journalist in a small-town America. They really liked me but they asked me to do an American accent and that would have been okay as that's acting. So I sent them a self-tape and it was so bad! However, that's one occasion where that could have been okay to do. Q.What advice would you give to your 50-year-old self? I think what I would say to my 50-year-old self is “it’s never too late.” I think that's the big piece of advice if there's something that you’ve always really wanted to do it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. It doesn’t matter if people are out there saying ‘oh you’re too old for that’ no, go for it and make it happen! When you’re 50 your dreams are going to be different than what your dreams are now, keep on dreaming up until the end. What does the word disruptive mean to you? I think that I am a bit disruptive if I am honest. It is shaking things up, not playing by the rules, it is doing things your way and adding some spice, sass and some sauce. BEST MOMENTS “Yes you can polish up, yes you can work on being the best version of yourself, but it really is about being true to who you are” “Look back on your own work, and make sure that you’re happy with where you’re going” “Make the most out of life, no matter what age you are” [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: The (New, Social) Media for Business No-one is Talking About [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Struggling to keep up with all the different types of social media? Are you wondering which one to use to promote your new business? In today’s podcast, Rob takes us through the social media that nobody is talking about in business...Whatsapp! Whilst many people use Whatsapp for communication in their day to day lives Rob gives us an exclusive look into how you can use Whatsapp to benefit your company, expand your business, increase sales and keep in touch with your customers and clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS People often talk about Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and LinkedIn as good social media sources to promote your business. However, many people overlook a common source of media that is widely used, which is Whatsapp. Adding Whatsapp into your social media marketing allows you to reach more people. The more sources of media you use, the more people you are able to reach. Having a community on Whatsapp usually means they are more engaged with you and follow you on every platform, offering them exclusive deals is well received and usually more successful than other platforms. Action plan for using Whatsapp. Setting up your own Whatsapp group. Generating a link that you can put online meaning others can click the link to join your group. Download ‘Whatsapp For Business’ meaning there is no restriction on how many members can be in the group. Create clear guidelines for members to follow so that users can enjoy the group for the intended purpose. Add value to the group, such as utilizing the voice note feature of the app, something that you are unable to do on other platforms. Use it to link people to important videos or product launches you have online that they may not have already seen. Use it to grow your other social media platforms. You can repurpose content used on your other social media platforms, as well as creating new content exclusive to the members in your WhatsApp group. As well as testing new content or ideas on your exclusive Whatsapp group members, if it is successful you can share that particular content on your other social media platforms.

RANT! STOP Managing Time, Do This Instead [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
In this episode of Disruptors Rob explains how important it is to manage yourself because you cant manage time. He also talks about how you can effectively start to manage yourself by implementing habits. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can manage yourself but you can’t manage time. You have the same amount of time as a billionaire so stop saying you don’t have time. If you manage your priorities then you will find it easier to have more freedom of your time. Something that can help you do this is the book Routine = Results. Often entrepreneurs dream of freedom but when you’re an entrepreneur you can often find that you loose routine so it’s important to manage yourself effectively and efficiently. Stop yourself from getting distracted from the tasks you have set. Isolate yourself until you have these tasks done in a way that you work best in (30minutes of work, 30 minutes off). Do what your need to do even if you’re not feeling it, this is being disciplined. If you’re not disciplined then you’re not managing your emotions. Do the tasks that are the best use of your time so that you stay on track, push your urges away by building habits. Don’t pretend to work by actively procrastinating, you’re the easiest person to lie to so be brutally honest and ensure the work you’re doing is actually bringing you progress. Getting accountability from other people can be a good way to get things done because you wont be able to lie about what you’ve done.

Q&A With Billionaire David McCourt on The Secret to Wealth [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Rob is joined by Irish-American entrepreneur and billionaire David McCourt. David answers audience questions on how he got to be where he is today and what he hopes to do in the future, discover what it takes to solve business problems, curate and create million-pound ideas and learn how to start, grow and scale your own business. Tune in today for this insightful interview with self-made billionaire David McCourt. KEY TAKEAWAYS Q. How do you change your thought process to help you come up with different ideas? A. [David]I do one thing consistently, which is when approaching a problem I put myself in the future and I am able to see that problem already solved, I then turn around and look backward and I build a plan to get me to where I already am. It can be overwhelming looking at a huge problem, people say “how did you have such vision to solve the problem?” It really wasn’t that amazing at all, because when you put yourself in the future, it becomes crystal clear to you what it is going to look like and then you have to build a plan to get there. A. [Rob] I would say, be the person that disrupts you, rather than someone else. I am very much a big believer in disrupting yourself. I want to disrupt my own patterns, behaviors, and habits before my competitors do. I am always trying to imagine, if I was a competitor of mine, what weaknesses would I see? I then try and solve those before someone else does. I challenge myself to follow people I didn’t think that I liked, to learn from people that have very different beliefs from me, because that can challenge the way I look at something. Q. How and when do you scale? A. [David]I personally, have never thought about business as having a goal to reach a certain size. I approach business as trying to solve a problem that I find would be interesting to solve and that the world needs to solve and through doing that you can make money. I look at it more as a problem that people say ‘that cannot be solved’ whereas I say ‘it can be solved’. I don’t initially think about the size of the business, but if it is a big problem that nobody else has been able to solve before, then by definition you will be able to scale it. A.[Rob] There were three commonalities over the wealthiest people. One of those was the desire to serve vast amounts of people. Don’t just have a plan or a goal but if you have a genuine desire to serve vast numbers of people, then you will connect the dots along the way and take the opportunities and partnerships. The second thing, a concept called the network effect. This is essentially a way to get to as many people on the planet as quickly as possible. Q. Who were your main mentors when you started out on your journey? A.[David] I am the first to admit, I had a huge advantage number 1 I had an unbelievable mother and father, and I had a mother that constantly taught me that it was okay to fail, that constantly taught me that I would be something and that I would accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. Having someone that supports you in your life, gets you 80% of the way there. I have had different mentors at different stages, I was on board just after I finished college, and on that board was the first public millionaire in America. I had never met a millionaire before and he said something that was very interesting, he said: “you have to make what’s important in your life instinctive, there are certain things that you are not going to have time to process, that you have to be instinctive”. After that, there was a man named Walter Scott, who was like a father to me. He taught me that taking care of your downside is the most important thing in business and the upside will take care of itself. My third was probably Jack Welch, he taught me a lot. A. [Rob] Out of all the successful people I know, I am one of the youngest. This is because I have pushed myself to have mentors who are 60 and 70 years old. I love having these mentors because they have so much more wisdom and experience than me so now I seek out being the youngest in a networking group. Everything that David fortunately had, you can create. Q. Did you leave the ladder or are you continuously putting those ladders down for people? A.[David] There is nothing that gives me more pleasure, that putting the ladder down for someone else. It is really an ugly characteristic that some people have. Once they make their money they want to distance themselves from people so that others aren't able to have it. There is nothing more rewarding than putting the ladder down for the next person to climb upon. I have made a lot of money, given a lot of money away and lost a lot of money, and I can tell you for sure, the difference between the times I have had money and when I haven't, there is no difference, if what you’re trying to do with your life is create something. Q. What one world problem would you solve ? A. [David] If I could only solve one problem, I think if we can instill the sense of hope and dreams that America had 50 years ago back around the world, then we could solve all the problems. The America that I grew up in is a very different place than what it is today. That country of hope and dreams where anything is possible if we worked together is what could solve problems. The big ones are healthcare, housing, and education. The costs of these three are all growing faster than wages so by definition you can’t catch up. So if you’re growing up thinking that you will never be able to catch up, that is a terrible and dangerous place to be in. That is the world that we’re living in now, and that is the problem that we need to fix. A. [Rob] The first time I met David, he told me “The world's biggest problems are also the world's biggest business opportunities right now”. It is easy to look at people that are the champions of dramatic change globally and forget that we can make a difference ourselves. There became a point where I looked around and noticed members of staff and thought “they’ve all got jobs, they’re all paying their mortgages and they’re all receiving benefits” I think it is easy to forget the value you make as an entrepreneur, I think a company done in the right way is one of the best ways to create value. Q. Do you ever feel that you don’t know enough to get to where you want to be? How have you dealt with it? A. [David] I sometimes get a feeling, that time will run out before I accomplish everything that I want to accomplish. I worry about whether I have enough time to love all the people I want to love, meet all the people I want to meet and to go to all the places I want to go to. I worry about that every day, which is why I have to figure out a way to do it at scale. I don’t feel that I should be doing anything different than what I am doing or that I am wasting my life.

Caffeine Cast: How to Improve Yourself Constantly & Easily (LIVE) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Tune in today as Rob Moore talks us through his self-development techniques and how you can apply them to your own personal growth journey. From choosing the right mentors to who to follow on your social media platforms, Rob describes the best ways of supporting your personal growth to enable you to become the best version of yourself on your entrepreneurial journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some people do not believe in property training and believe you can learn everything using the internet or learning from making your own mistakes in the real world following the mantra “If you want something done properly do it yourself”, when a more realistic approach would be “If you want something done properly, give it to someone who is good at it”. Many individuals are trying to fix things that are broken, that we’re no good at fixing and as a result, end up breaking it even more. Having mentors, coaches and therapists who are people to talk to, who do not judge so that you are able to have a cathartic exorcism of your inner demons, is vital. Always seek out mentors or people that are one or two levels higher than you. The upside of having a paid mentor is accountability, and what you can demand of them. Try to work out a time in the day where you feel less lethargic and make sure these are productive, such as listening to podcasts, working out or making phone calls. Getting more into the day is a brilliant way for self-development. Follow all the top influencers, in the area that you want to develop. For example, if you wanted to get into something new, such as podcasting, building a new personal brand or promoting a new business, you’re wise to find as many influencers and experts as you can. You can do this by subscribing to their podcast, following them on Instagram etc. Make yourself progressively uncomfortable is self-development. This would include, reaching out to people that are bigger players and risking getting rejected by bigger players, going to big events and being the least successful person in the room. Watching documentaries on wildly successful, passionate, disruptive and unique people is inspiring. Self-development is a lifelong pursuit, however there are some curses such as being overwhelmed. Be careful not to spread yourself too thin. Be smart enough to filter the information and do the one thing nobody else can do for you which is deciding what to implement into your own life.
