Disruptors

Rob gets asked a lot why he doesn't create art anymore. For three years Rob was a stereotypical artist, troubled, bitter, dark and depressed. But property and the freedom, choice and profit that came with it saved his life.   Now Rob is able to express himself and his creativity through books, public speaking, personal development and the art of helping others, because you have to have a creative side of the business and a commercial side.   In today’s episode, Rob shares with you how to embrace the commercial and the creative. Every challenge in your business is creativity in action.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob gave up art, not because he didn't love art, but because he couldn't monetise it. Because he hadn't learnt how to leverage and how to sell. Property came at the right time in life for Rob and as a result, he has made millions.   Any business that you love can be a creative outlet for you. Rob now uses his business, property, training, writing and the podcast as a creative outlet. The balance of creating and commercial is essential to success. The most sustainable way to grow a business and a brand are by balancing these two forces.   You don't have to constantly create, you can borrow creativity from different niches and apply it to others. Fusing creativity together and cutting through the noise. Everybody is creative, no matter what niche you're in or skills that you have. You can be creative in your own way and the manner in which you do things. Creativity is the answer to circumventing problems and providing people with solutions, yours and your customers.   BEST MOMENTS "Property saved my life in terms of my finances" "A great art is business and business is art" "Everything good is art" “Rob didn't know the art of leverage when he was an artist. But it wasn't the quality of art that meant he couldn't sell it, it was because Rob couldn't sell.” [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.

Welcome to another episode of the Disruptors Podcast. In today's episode, Rob interviews YouTube sensation and life coach, JP Sears. They discuss how to be an internet sensation, how to increase share-ability and the true meaning of authenticity.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe secret to creating this internet sensation. It is not just one secret. One secret is to put out a lot of videos that don’t do well. That's not at all saying like put out crap. It's, of course, do your best everytime, but it's pointing to the virtue of consistency. Not all videos will go viral. They’re not all going to be home runs. Don't think that the goal is for them (videos) to be home runs, yet makes the experience of having a lot of videos do reap well is to be very consistent with putting out work. And consistency is king when it comes to creative video content. Any kind of content, consistency is really important. Three ingredients that tend to make videos do better or increase its share-ability: Entertainment. Humour lines is an awesome form of entertainment. That's not everybody's authentic brand, I'm not saying that should be. Yeah, we all have some degree of entertainment ability that we have access to. Self-awareness. Where you essentially get people in touch with what they think that they either didn't know, think or they haven't put words on it. So you see what's everybody's thinking whether they know they're thinking it or it's like a deeper thought. And then people just love that, like, ah cool! Inspiration. If you can get people feeling inspired, feeling emotion especially on the inspired side of emotion, that's gonna make them want to watch your video more. It's gonna increase the chances of them clicking the shared button. True Meaning of Authenticity. JP thinks being yourself is some of the wisest and most useless advice you could ever encounter because when someone says, be yourself, it doesn’t help you to be yourself. And a lot of us don’t know who we are. So, there’s like, how can I be myself when I don’t know who I am? With that said, being ourselves as much as we can even when we don’t know who we are, and being authentic means being true to our feelings. So, feeling our feelings when we’re feeling is part of being authentic. It’s not glorious, but it’s like if you’re sad, if you’re happy, or you’re joyful, don’t apologize for it. Be in those feelings. Practical authenticity. Voicing your genuine perspective. Not trying to confirm. It’s being true to your perspective with your voice and being true to your feelings that are in your body. Period. Humbleness. Knowing that you don’t know. It’s like all the answers are found within. And in reality, it’s like yeah not many answers are not gonna be found within and that’s maybe why there are other people in this planet: mentors, coaches, colleagues who have been where we’re going. They’ve been there before, so now’s a good time to ask who. Self-efficiency. A blessing and a curse that’s so many entrepreneurs is self-efficiency. Sort of a, I can do it all and I will do it all attitude. You wanna be self-responsible, self-sufficient, resourceful but when we get glued in that, when like we start worshipping the religion of self-sufficiency, then we forget the exponential leverage of other people. Realizing like, I can learn in 10 minutes what might have taken that person 10 years to learn, in that can save me years of error which might cost me, cost me time, might cost me a lot of money, not to mention it might cost me revenue that I would never earn. As entrepreneurs, we got to figure out the humbleness and realize we need to ask, we need to have a beginner’s mind at times… Get out the trap of comparison. We’re drinking the poison, and we don’t even notice that. Notice when you are criticizing others. We criticize others. Especially others that deep down inside maybe to surface level, we deem them more successful than us. But what makes us want to criticize them is we’re comparing ourselves to them, we feel bad. We maybe feel insignificant, so the outcomes the criticism, trying to make them less significant in our mind’s eye so that we don’t have to feel as insignificant. So notice yourself when you are criticizing someone. Step 2 is asking yourselves, what am I feeling insecure about right now? You are a human being. You are going to feel insecure about something. It’s not if but it’s what. What am I feeling insecure about right now? Don’t shame yourself for being insecure, but let it be okay feeling insecure. Pessimism and Optimism. Pessimism is when we are dogmatically stuck in a negative point of view. I think optimism is when we’re dogmatically stuck in the positive point of view. And I think there is a huge downside to both. Money. Money can be a spiritual tool when you can see how it connects to the rest of life. If people use money and use their relationship with money in a way that makes them more connected to other people, makes them more connected to other people around them, more connected to themselves, then yes, it’s a spiritual tool for you. What it is to be happy? “To be happy is to be accepting of yourself, not for how you want things to be but how things are for you right now.” Is happiness the right dream to chase? “No, because a lot of us don’t know what happiness is. I think a lot of us are chasing gratification but calling it happiness. And I think often times gratification subtracts happiness in our life, so we start chasing more of what we call happiness that’s actually gratification. So, we have less happiness in our life, and it can become a downward spiral until we’re gratified to the gills, but we have no happiness. So, I think chasing two things: self-acceptance and growth. For me, those are the pursuits that feel better to me.” Best advice: “Nothing is as it seems. That’s taught me not to believe my beliefs, not to just dogmatically believe how things seem to be for me. It’s really taught me to be open-minded and open-hearted.” Worst advice: “It is something I somehow fell into. Be like that person was a mindset I was in for quite a bit and it makes serve a purpose but ultimately it was pretty crappy advice that I was living even though it may never have been directly pulled to me.” Blaming other people. “In America right now, we love to scapegoat everything into our president. I’m not a fan of his but I’m not a fan of blaming what we don’t like in our lives on him, so I think how people project themselves on to other people, that’s called blame. And don’t own their experience of themselves. They don’t see who’s looking in the mirror. Instead, they just see the mirror, don’t like what they see, and then blame the mirror for it. So, I think the solution for that is radical self-responsibility where when we look at what we don’t like about other people, even the president of the US, we have the wisdom and the humbleness to ask, what does this say about me?”   Disruptive. Disruptive means breaking normal. It can mean we become the human being instead of the sheep walking in the herd. And we break the norm. So it’s a pattern interrupt. And that could be by expressing our weirdness, our uniqueness, our perspective. I think there’s a lot of forms it could take. But it’s breaking normal. Normalcy is the worst disease that infects humankind and I think being disruptive is a beautiful cure for the worst disease there is.   Recent success impacted your life? “Things are always changing if I allow them too. In order to allow the growth to happen, I have to change. I have to adjust the centre gravity of my life. Our willingness to be uncomfortable to adjust and change to the tides of life now has been instrumental for me. I’m not going to claim to be perfect yet I’m actively doing my best to adjust and change.” BEST MOMENTS“Entertainment. Self-awareness. Inspiration. Sometimes those are all very intertwined. People can feel inspired emotion because they're entertained and laughing, and they can feel.” “Not to sound to cliche but the failure are incredibly valuable when you look back on and to gain the lessons and of course sometimes we fail and because it's uncomfortable we don't look back and soak in the lessons and therefore it's like we failed in it.” “Searching for a truer version of ourselves, I don’t know of anything that’s maybe nobler than that. I think it’s beautiful.” “The search becomes very fruitless when it’s only an intellectual endeavour.  But if our search for authenticity includes action. If it includes risking living life through relationships, taking risks, one we’re inspired to start a new business, put something out on, you know, voicing our perspective, one that includes adventure, I think those are the components of the searching that really count a hell of a lot more than what’s going on in our brains… It’s not meant to be an intellectual endeavour. It’s meant to be a lived experience.” “Something is only intelligent when we have the intelligence to discern when to pay attention to that source of intelligence. If we’re only paying attention to it, I think it’s gonna mislead us.” “Wisdom is knowing what you don’t know. Learning is you learn more and you start to become aware of what you are unaware of, and that’s why I think if one doesn’t have humbleness and compassion to say, and it’s okay, it can be… the fires of the ego can really burn us where we get more and more insecure knowing how much we don’t know.” - British Proverb “Comparison is a lethal poison that nobody other than us is going to inject into ourselves.” “The most common denominator of successful people both in internal success and external success is they ferociously learn from other people. The hunger to learn.” “Realistic thinking is ideal. Seeing the positive point of view from the negative point of view is freaking helpful.” “I think we want to acknowledge the extremes so we’re better in form so we could find the place of balance in between.” ABOUT GUESTJP Sears is a YouTuber, he’s a comedian, he’s an emotional healing and life coach and an author and speaker.

What does it mean to be resilient? There’s a lot of talk in the personal development world that bravery, courage and vulnerability are constituent parts of resilience. But really resilience is the desire to continually solve problems with no loss of enthusiasm. Tune in today to hear what resilience is and what it isn’t, and why you too can get more done through accountability and an action orientated mindset. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every opportunity you have to improve as a person or as a business is really just problem-solving. There’s no need to make it bigger than it is or worry about why. You just need to get out there and do it. Improve on the skill or approach that’s holding you back. If you can go from problem to problem with a solution mindset and manage your emotions and deal with the issue with enthusiasm, you will be successful and achieve your goals. If we talk too much about bravery, courage and vulnerability we can build resilience up to be much harder than it actually needs to be. In order to solve your problems and get what you need you must become accountable. You are the easiest person to lie to because you’re not letting anybody down. The more external accountability you have, the more it forces you to take away the choice to go and solve the problems and implement the actions you want. Then you build resilience through forced accountability. When there is a choice there's no resilience, but when there is no choice you naturally take on an action orientated mindset. You need to take all of your options down to a binary yes or no choice and force yourself to get it done. BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes you need to make the same mistake 30/40 times” “There are first world problems and then there are third world problems” “Contextualise the problem and solve it rationally” “Usually speaking you will only do the things that you have to do.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In today’s episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob interviews professional journalist, columnist, author and editor of GQ magazine, Dylan Jones OBE. Dylan has served as the editor of the global magazine since 1991 and has won the British Society of Magazine Editors “Editor of the Year” award a record ten times. Rob and Dylan discuss how GQ has had to evolve, innovate and change, to sustain its status as a premium men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine. They discuss the value of a brand, changing delivery channels, the current climate and how the whole industry has been disrupted by technological changes. KEY TAKEAWAYS How would you describe what you do and who you are? I'm a professional journalist. I've also done a series of books and I'm quite active with the British fashion council. The great thing about the magazine, however, is that it allows us to split off into politics or literature quite easily, it's very engrossing. The remit of GQ is quite broad and it allows us to fold in various different disciplines. My role at GQ is principally editing, steering the magazine in the right direction both physically and commercially. Is the role of vision and direction of GQ a role that you enjoy? Absolutely and it changes over the years because we're not just producing a monthly magazine. In this climate, we're producing a magazine of a standard you don't often see anymore. These days you have to have everything and it's a bit like being back in the newspaper. You're trying to drive the news agenda whilst also report on what's going on in the world. We have a much smaller team than any other national newspaper but we use various pillars to get everything done. What is the current climate and how has your industry changed? The climate has changed primarily because of technology because distribution channels have changed enormously and audience consumer habits have changed. When we started people didn't have mobile phones, now people consume content in different ways. That's why we have a print magazine, a digital magazine, social feeds etc. What does good journalism look like to you? Journalism that is well commissions, well researched, well written, well edited and well displayed. There is a vehicle for quality journalism because there is a demand for expert and quality material to be produced. Today, everything is quick and everything is disposable. The world is full of fake news and content is endlessly regurgitated, so much so there is no trust anymore. Now, we start to see a resurgence in the appreciation of excellence. What does Disruptive mean to you? It’s a very emotive word and it powerful and people are looking for it. I think people are looking for it in every walk of life, every discipline and every profession. It’s probably more important now to be a disruptor now than it ever has before because you can attach real commercial value to it. BEST MOMENTS “We're very confident in our abilities to talk to a certain demographic. If you understand your product and you understand your audience then it's all about delivery.” "You have to know your audience and know your brand" "We seem to have had a revival with social media. We used to think that social media would reduce our attention spans but actually in the podcast and magazine world's it's the opposite. Some of the best pieces are two/ three-hour long conversation pieces" “In this world where you can share anything, there’s a premium on quality.” “As a journalist, you are always looking for things that you don’t know. Because you want the readers not to know them. It’s a constant journey of discovery.” “Podcasts are incredible, it’s on-demand radio and it’s smart people talking.” “You can be a writer or you can be an editor, but you can’t be both. I don’t think that’s true.” ABOUT THE GUEST Dylan Jones OBE is a professional journalist, columnist and author who has served as editor of the UK version of men's fashion and lifestyle magazine GQ. He studied at Chelsea School Of Art and then St. Martin’s School of Art. His award-winning editing position at GQ is  a position he has held since 1999, and has won the British Society of Magazine Editors “Editor of the Year” award a record ten times. In 2013 he was also the recipient of the prestigious Mark Boxer Award.

An entrepreneur solves problems and takes risks in the search of profit and contribution If you don't risk anything, you risk everything. You need to embrace taking bigger to provide a more meaningful solution to others and reward yourself with bigger profits Your business has to make a profit. If it doesn't make a profit it's a hobby or a charity. No one works for you. Empower the people that you work with and never expect someone to do something because you're paying them. Motivate and inspire them instead. Do not expect any love. You as an entrepreneur need to put content out there and continuously give, give, give.

The definition of an entrepreneur is someone who is prepared to take risks in the hope of profit.” “It's the billionaires that spend all their time on their vision, planning and their strategy” “With Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and social platforms you can market your business and your product or service for free. There are downsides to the fiberoptic world that we leave in, but basically, you can have whatever you want instantly” “To be an entrepreneur you need to create meaningful products and solutions that help people AND be prepared to do what it takes to get there, by being a leader and a disruptor.” “It's wise to take calculated risks. There's nothing wrong with taking risks but protecting the downside.” “You need to be okay with meeting your own needs. It's okay to be selfish, you can't help anyone else if you can't help yourself.” “A great entrepreneur takes all of the issues and the market changes and continuously motivates the team.” “People don't care what you know until they know that you care” “You have to work hard enough. not to work 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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS•If you work hard, you'd get results. Period. Regardless of whether it's fitness, whether it's your eating, your diet or doing what you do, learning how to work... • That's a gift to not compare yourself to anybody else and understand that you have unique talents and purpose, and you're meant to be who you are.•“I'm different, but I'm okay.” So, using people to make you want to be a better version of you.•It's about having the self-awareness to know what you're good at and what you're not good at. And double in talent the things that you're good at. And investing so much time and energy into that. Know that it's pointless to try and be someone else.•Everyone is projecting who they perceive you to be or what they want you to do unto you. That's a natural human trait.•To be defined by what you do is unfortunately what happens now. The minute people decide that you're one thing, they want you to stay there cause they've got you figured you out.•You are not defined by anything you do or anything anyone says or any mistakes you make.•God's time is the best. When the stars align, you can feel it. And when it all feels natural. When it feels it as if it was meant to happen at that time, it's undeniable, and that's where things are beginning to go.•If you don't understand the power of hard work and luck, then you are completely ignoring one of the two because you can't have success without both.•You have to really invest in your craft. You have to become obsessed by it. And die by it. But then at the same time, if you're working as hard as you should be on the thing that you really believe and in the thing you really invested in, eventually, there will be an opening and you will be prepared for it.•If you are now self-aware, you are asking for trouble. Because you need to know yourself well enough to know what you're good at and what you're not good at. And when you're coming across in a way that maybe is putting you in the wrong direction or pushing you away from where you want to get to or pissing people off or if you're annoying people or if you're spamming people. You need to be aware enough of those things. Otherwise, you are just asking for trouble.•Know what you're good at. Be very sure about what you're not good at. And listen. I think if you are not willing to listen and if you don't have people around you that are honest and transparent, you're going to be in trouble.•If you can't control your own emotions, how are you going to direct your own staffs' emotions. How are you able to going to be able to look after your customers if you can't control yours?•Empathize with someone else and put yourself in their shoes. That's the beginning of starting to see yourself through someone else's eyes. And that's the really important thing is being able to step outside and say, hang on, how did what I just did make everyone feel? How did what I just say affect the room negative or positively?•Being so empathetic and finding that level of connection, they give so much and that's a really delicate thing to have in your hands and it's something that you have to respect.•The only two transcendent emotions that rise above all are gratitude and love.•If you give out gratitude to people, it doesn't ruin your life or derail you from your mission. It also changes the people around you.•You know when you've done something that you're going to be proud of and only you know that.•Once you've got someone relax, everything comes out. And they don’t even realize it. •Ownership is everything. Owning the narrative as well as the IP is important and just as important.•What people want is honest, open, unedited, untwisted, and un-manipulated content, and I think they want easier, quicker access to the content provided.•Personal brand is just as important as the thing that you are selling. And the way that people are building businesses and very successful ones are coming from the strength of the person who is the face of the said business as opposed to how good looking they are which is in a way the right thing. It's a good thing.•Best advice. Every time you come into this room, we're going to talk stuff that relates to 3 subjects: Who you're with, where you live and what you do. Almost everything that you think about will come back to one of those three things and if you get two out of three right, you will be bouncing. If you get three out of three right, you'll be flying.•Worst advice: Don't do that thing because you are not good enough.•When someone comes to you with a weird energy or with a negative sort of outlook, a lot of the time, it is not about you. And having the empathy to understand that and respect someone in their tough times, that something that we're missing.•Being disruptive means that having the bravery to change things on your own terms.•If you are willing to do something that speaks to your authenticity and if you are willing to be transparent in who you are, then you have an opportunity to do something that's never been done before. Doing something that's never been done is the most beautiful thing in the world. And trying to replicate someone else is a recipe for failure.BEST MOMENTS“I have always been very aware where it's all headed but I've never quite known how I was going to get there. So, I've always at the back of my mind at least…”“That's kind of happen with entertainment, you're hosting The Voice one day and then a month later, you're in Kenya, making a documentary and the feeling that you have from the two are so polar opposite. You start to make a decision about where you want to spend your time and where you want to give your energy and I made that decision quite a few years ago now.”“Now, what happens, we love you. No matter what happens, you can always come home. If you lose everything…  I was never raised in that environment with that amount of investment put into my self-confidence and self-worth. I had to learn that over time. So, for the longest of time, I would be concerned about what the next thing would be. And there would be moments where I would have sort of pangs of fear, if it's going to work out or not. Deep down I always knew that I would be okay.”“Because I know that this isn't a bluff. Because nothing I've achieved has come easy. I've always known that anything that can be regarded as an achievement, I've worked my ass off for. And I am not scared of the work.”“If I didn't tell myself that I'm going to do this thing, do it even when it's difficult, I would not be where I am now.”“My individuality is my super power, and that was something that was given to me as a kid.”“I think it's the biggest waste of energy to try and control the way that other people think. You can never change someone else's mind until they decide to change it themselves, right? For me, I just am. I know what I want. And that might change tomorrow, and that's okay. But at no point am doing or being for anybody else. The people that I love and I care about, I live to help and support and be there for them but I will never be the way that they want me to be regardless of how important they are to me.”“I need to be constantly creatively shocked. Like I need to feel uncomfortable to find the inspiration to push myself and learn more. For me, if I am not learning anymore or if I am not inspired, there's no point in being there. I am not doing anyone a favor by just coasting. And at no point have I ever coasted so I've walked away from things not knowing what's coming next. And been okay.”“I genuinely feel that the only way to really exist in this world is walk on love. I feel that the energy that you carry and the energy that you bring to any situation determines the way in which that situation will go.”“The beautiful thing about ending on a question is the people watching can then have a conversation. And they then have all these different pieces off the conversation to draw from to inform their opinion. And that way, you're getting a conversation about an issue in a really beautiful authentic and rounded way as opposed to me saying this is how I feel about this and I am going to present to you 50 different people that think the same thing as me. I'm going to convince you of my opinion by the end of this hour. That is the way that a lot of journalist work. That is not how I work.”“I just really love to be able to share my experiences both in terms of success and failure. And have them understand that I'm not telling them to do what I did, I am telling them to learn from what I've done and choose to use it in the right way.”“I don't think we have enough empathy. I don't think we are willing to make time for other people's stuff. We all have stuff and everybody is carrying around stuff.”ABOUT THE GUESTReggie Yates is a British actor, television presenter and radio DJ.

In today’s episode, Rob shares with you the six ways to motivate yourself that work fast AND last. Often people are trying to motivate themselves for something that opposes their mindset and values. It's a lot of wasted energy. Inspiration and motivation are two very different forces. If you're not inspired by the tasks that you're doing you won't fulfil them to their full potential. The best business model or income stream is the one that you're passionate about. The one that inspires you. Always check that the things that you're doing inspire you, motivate you and ultimately match your values. KEY TAKEAWAYS Step 1: Check if you are inspired to do this task you set out to do. - Inspiration should be high on your personal values and any tasks you attempt to do you should be inspired to complete. Step 2: Find something meaningful, deep and challenging and get it done early. - As soon as you wake up, ensure you get that task done and done early. This will build momentum and help you achieve the results you want. Step 3: If you're struggling for motivation, imagine how you feel once you get it done. - Focus on the feeling of overcoming your challenge and achieving what you set out to achieve. Step 4: Get mentors, coaches and people that have been there before you. - Get advice and accountability from them so they can motivate you too. Step 5: Do something before you do the thing that fired you up. - If you have something challenging or difficult to do make sure you prepare and get yourself fired up before doing it. Do whatever it is that makes you feel inspired, alive and energized. Step 6: Link what you want the most with the thing you need to get done. - It makes it much easier to achieve what you want to achieve when you link it to what you want. This can be materialistic, spiritual or anything that drives you towards achieving your goals. BEST MOMENTS "About a third of the coaching calls I do people just need a bit of motivation." “The easiest person in your life to lie to is yourself. You need to get out of your own way.” “Motivation is a tug of war between two equal forces” [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.

Welcome to another episode of the Disruptors Podcast. In today's episode, Rob talks about culture in the work environment. How do you create an environment in your workplace so that your staff will work better? Ask yourself, what do you stand for? what do you stand against? These questions can greatly help in creating an office environment your staff want to work in. How you manage and deal with culture is still very important. It’s the feel and the environment which the people work in, it’s the energy around the place. It’s your uniqueness and the values that are transmuted into a working environment. KEY TAKEAWAYS The environment in which you work is important. You're either driving it or creating it. Values of your organization. Vision. It's your values. Culture values, for them, expanded on their individual values. And they became progressive, innovative and personal for the company. Your culture is your identity expressed through your organization. What makes you unique? For example a lasagna, it is one recipe, same ingredients but when everyone cooks it, it will taste different. Everyone will bring his or her own unique take and flavour in it. Same with business, what do you do better than other people? Brainstorming Exercise: What is unique about you? What are you good at? What do people say about you consistently? How do you like to do things differently? What do you know that others don't? What feedback do you get consistently? What you stand for and what you stand against and who you are and who you are not, so create your culture and stand by it. 3 things that are more important than money: Progression, Recognition and Autonomy. Recognition. No matter how many times you tell someone they're amazing. You still probably didn't do it enough. No matter how much love you spray out in your office, no matter how much good energy you put out into your culture and environment, there will always be someone that's not happy. All you can do is what you can do. Purveyor of good energy. Put this energy into your staff and your staff will put this energy into the customers. Criticism/Critics. That's a necessary function of evolution. Valuable feedback from critics. Listening to critics where they've got valuable feedback, it improves your offering. Persistence and progress always create resistance. So, you should be who you are and do what you think is the right thing to do. The more controversial or polarizing or like if you're extremely left, you will really wind up people who are really right. Only take an extreme stance when you extremely believe in it. The marketing, the sales, the speaking, the shouting, the ranting, the controversy, or whatever. It is all learned. BEST MOMENTS "If you have a decision to make and you have to make it, look at those values. And if the decision that you make aligns with those values." "Try and create this environment both in the stuff that you put out there and the way that you are, this represents your culture." "The more you grow, the more haters you have to take on, and they don't go away. I used to think the better I got, the less people would be critical of me. In reality, I learned the opposite. The better I got, more people would be critical of me." “In general business, I do this. I stand for this. I fight this corner. This is who I am. And fine, you can say what you want. But, you are not gonna change the mission that I drive.” “If you want to teach people, train people, lead people, and get them to buy your stuff, you have to put a flag in the ground, and say, this works. Do it like this, it works.” [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 today’s Caffeine Cast, Rob discusses the impending looming recession and what you can actually do about it. Learn how to take the strategic view of planning for the worst, but always do your best. The recession could be here next year, or it could be here in five years. The reality is none knows so be careful about what you read in the media and what you deem to be true. Remember if a recession comes there is always an upside. Asset prices will come down, yields will go up and there will be plenty of growth in certain markets. There’s an equally balanced upside opportunity. You just need to find it in the recession. KEY TAKEAWAYS Monitor prices and track forecasts. Compare and contrast this to prices and peaks before the last drop or recession. Plan a contingency for reducing your business costs. Are you able to quickly reduce your fixed costs and lower your variable costs? Remember to reduce marketing spend as a last resort. Get factual information and don't listen to fact news or uneducated predictions Don't sit on your hands and do nothing. De-risk your business and ensure you have more than one income stream. If you can ride out any drop in prices you're probably not going to be affected by the recession. If you're forced to sell during a recession and as a result, lose half your capital value then that will harm your worth. Care more about the income stream of your property rather than the value. If you're not forced to sell it you don't need to worry about the immediate value BEST MOMENTS “There's a lot of talk about the looming recession but when all is said and done, more is said than done” “Ignore anyone who is claiming to accurately predict the recession because what caused the recession last time is probably not what will cause it this time” “Never count on one income stream and de-risk your cashflow” “If we knew what caused it we could predict it and plan for it, so that we can negate it.” [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.

Welcome to another episode of the Disruptors Podcast. In today’s episode, Rob interviews Barry Hearn, the Infamous Sporting Events Promoter & Founder of Matchroom Sport. Barry specialises in logistics and monetisation and has been hugely successful. He says that his success is composed of big breaks and luck. Rob and Barry discuss the details of Barry’s success in life and business. They talk about how he made it from rags to riches. What is Barry’s secret to confidence? What happened and why he was able to succeed in life and became a multi-millionaire. They discuss all these details and a lot more insider secrets to Barry’s great life. KEY TAKEAWAYS         Your 100%. Place in mind that you will eventually get there.  You have to put yourself out there 100% in the expense of everybody else, wives, families, children, and friends. If you really want to succeed, you have to be relentless. In an aeroplane, what is the first instruction? Put on yourself first because you are absolutely no use to anybody if you are incapacitated. So, you put on yourself before you do your wives and children, and business, when you're growing a business, exactly the same. Look after yourself first.  Then your family then your community.         Everybody in this world is different. And it follows therefore that everybody is better in everybody else at something. The sad part of that is they very rarely find out what that is.         The secret of luck. When you have your luck is making the most of it. So, we all get a break. Some people don't recognize when that break is. Some people don't see the opportunity, that's just inefficiency. But when you do, that would be a lot, then you really got to go for it and that's the maximization of the luck. And that’s' what really what Barry is good at.         Good reputation. You establish a good reputation. You operate with integrity. Sounds old-fashioned. You give people value for money, and you put a smile on people's faces. It is so much common sense. If everyone gets value for money, TV companies get ratings. If the sponsor gets exposure. If the puns got a great night out, is that not what we're trying to do anyway? So, just be better at it and do a better job. Work to make it work.         Stress. It is obviously an individual thing. Certain people react different ways. And no one can say they haven't had stress at some time because whether its family. People die and terrible things happen to you. But all you've got to do is remember that while you're here, everything is fine.         Sports. Sport is about occasions. Sports unite the whole country. It is the only time that it unites the whole country or the world. It transgresses any boundary. It creates memories and moments.         Social Media Marketing defines boundaries nowadays. Targeted market is a value to sponsors.         The most important thing about youngsters playing any sports is that they're happy and they enjoy it.         The ability to tell the truth. As he got older, he only ever tells the truth. And it's refreshing that he doesn’t really care how he tells it to or whom he tells it to.         Advice. Make sure you're busy. Make sure you're enjoying yourself. Make sure you're smiling. Make sure, hopefully, you're contributing. And last but mainly, be selfish. Be very selfish. Just make sure when you finish, you've given it a hundred percent. Win, Lose or Draw. BEST MOMENTS “Some people would criticize me for being only an accountant. And I think, they are missing the point that that is how you run a business.” "I started off with Steve first 5 years. I think I taught him everything I could teach. And for the last 35 years, he's taught me more." “The sad thing is a lot of people look in the mirror and ask themselves a question, why didn't it happen to me? Without understanding the reason why it didn't. And why it didn't is because you aren't focused enough or you didn't make enough sacrifices. People talk about sacrifices without really understanding what it is.” “I have always been a dreamer and I have always been a predictor. Sometimes, I even get it right but, I mean my history was either a series of God-given big breaks or being just lucky.” “My mom locked me in a room. And it was Monday to Friday and Sunday. But I could go out Saturday. So from 18 to 21, I didn't go out. But I learned every single line of every single book. So, there's no way I way, I was ever going to fail.” “If you want something bad enough, you do it.” “You make it work. You work to make it work... It is not perfect, but we can get better. And we won't stop trying to get better, and eventually, we look at ourselves and say we did a good job.” “All I want is for people to say, ‘When’s the next one?" “Don't waste a minute of your day... I don't waste a minute. And I enjoy every minute and if there's something I don't enjoy, I stop it straight away.” “If I work hard enough, I can average over a hundred. If I average over a hundred, I can make a living. If you are not good, six months later you say, it’s not working out. Fair enough. You start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And you just pray it’s not a train coming towards you.” "The opportunity is there within the structure of most sports to progress if you have an ability. Unfortunately, in sports, it's a series of snakes and ladders. Early doors, there's an awful lot of ladders. Later on, you come across more and more snakes. And if you can negotiate, you're way past the snakes and just got the ladders, you will be a star my son, and if you don't, you will be normal." “It all comes down to character.” “Sometimes, it is good to know that we’re only human.” “Business is exactly the same as sport. It is just another game. Don't get carried away with it. And you want to win. And the winning is what gets you up in the morning and drives you on.” “Telling the truth is important. The most important person to tell the truth to is yourself.” ABOUT GUEST Barry Maurice William Hearn is an English sporting events promoter.
