Disruptors

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.

In today’s episode, Rob shares with you an important lesson about overwhelm and how to deal with the people around you. When you've got a million things in your brain it's hard to connect with people and it’s hard to listen. But you need to see the value is listening to others and understand how to show a genuine interest and as a result, you will be successful, you will get more done and you will create leverage. KEY TAKEAWAYS Remember the people who are trying to communicate with you don't know what's going on in your head. We all get overwhelmed but we all need to get things done. There's a certain level in your business, in managing money and relationships and people that just means you can't get everything done. Be present at that moment don't be present in the past. Don't think about the past and the guilt and the shame and the baggage. Don't focus on the future and what's stressing you out, focus on the now. No matter how busy, uninterested or overwhelmed you are, you must get on with the people around you. If you care about people you can empty your brain, stay in the moment and you will be successful. Over the last two to three months Rob has become overwhelmed and this can affect a lot of areas of your life. If you're really busy you may feel like you're doing a lot of things but maybe not any of them well. But rest assured after clarity comes chaos and after chaos comes clarity, it's a cycle. BEST MOMENTS “The closer a deadline comes the more overwhelm and pressure you to feel” “When you're overwhelmed you block out the world and push people back, it creates carnage around you” “Show that you're interested, let them talk and listen” “See the lessons you can learn in listening to others” “Show a genuine interest and allow people to help you” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Leverage-Outsource-Everything-Lifestyle-ebook/dp/B01CD2ANC2 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 discusses if you have that one thing it takes for someone to be successful. In today’s society, everything is instant, automatic and fast. It greatly affects how people and entrepreneurs alike do things, solve things, resolve things and fix things. Discover why people sometimes sabotage themselves when attempting to do everything fast. They wish for fast results, and if they don’t get it? They Give up. Tune in today to hear why you are so close to success but don’t even realise it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be clear on what you want. If you are not clear on what you want, your strategy, your vision, then you will be allured by everything that’s shiny and you will be very impatient and not get the thing that you want. The more clear you are on what you want, the more you attract what you want into your life. The more you’re patient moving towards it, you don’t get distracted by everything else that comes in, so that is really important. You have to be realistic with how long it takes. We should be somewhere between realistic and optimistic. Don’t be pessimistic because you can’t go anywhere. Do not be overly optimistic because you might not live up to the expectation and fail. Persist and break through resistance but don’t push so hard that you push the world away and you frustrate yourself or you beat yourself down and beat yourself up. BEST MOMENTS “Too persistent like push push push push… without sometimes waiting and letting things come to you, that can actually push your results away. So you’re sabotage your own success.” “It takes 10 years to be an overnight success.” [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.

“You ARE an entrepreneur. Don’t let other people tell you otherwise.” In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob Moore shares the 10 signs that make you an entrepreneur. You may not be aware that you have these characteristics, weird or not, which you can harness then to be the best you can be. Rob has seen them on himself and shares his experiences to get the most out of its upsides. Discover why, when feeling overwhelmed, you must push yourself otherwise as you will never grow as an entrepreneur. Rob also advises that you take the opportunity and the risk to succeed, not beat yourself up, push through your comfort zone, and embrace sales & marketing. KEY TAKEAWAYS You’re always overwhelmed. Most successful entrepreneurs are pushing beyond their limits and getting out of their comfort zones. The tasks and activities they do are brimming over of what they’ve set to achieve. You see opportunity in everything and you can’t help it. The upside and downside are everything you see is money-making. Explore outside your industry and learn what could be a successful business venture. You feel alone sometimes. People around might seem a bit off that you don’t go for the normal 9-5 job. They’ve got opinions on how you do things. And, that’s alright. You just have to remember to reach out to your team, your mentors, and your colleagues. You sometimes think it’s a thankless task to be an entrepreneur. There are times that we think that we’ve done a lot for other people and we don’t get the credit we deserve. Learn to tell yourself every day that you have and can give the most value. Be grateful for what you do and what impact you’ve given to others. You beat yourself up. Sometimes, you compare yourself to others and nothing you do seems to be enough. You’re unique and you’re enough. Take joy in small successes. Learn to leverage your fears and doubts to step up. You feel you’re destined for greatness. Rob: “I can’t tell you specifically in words or vision what it is I feel like that is special or unique or great about me but I have a feeling inside that I’m destined for more than what I’m doing. I’m supposed to be bigger, contribute more, and grow more than I am.” You know you need to and you want to serve others equally, as well as meeting your self-interest. You can indulge yourself with what you want for yourself – the education, the material needs, etc. – but you have to do something valuable for the society. Help and try to give back. You embrace sales and marketing. Rob: “Nothing moves until you sell something.” You hate being told what to do. If you’re like Rob who sees himself as a contrarian, he advises that you have to relearn to give instructions and maintain a good relationship with your team. You embrace risk. Get yourself out of your comfort zone to get more opportunities. Don’t be afraid to explore, fail and go beyond what you could do. BEST MOMENTS “If you’re not taking more than you can handle, you’re not growing.” “A lot of people think that what they’re going through, they’re going through alone. But what you’re going through as an entrepreneur, every entrepreneur is going through. It’s completely normal.” “Every time you beat yourself down, have the courtesy to lift yourself up too.” “The ideal balance of self-worth and net worth is that border between selflessness and selfishness.” [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.

"You can sell directly on social media but if you do it too much, you'll just lose your good will and your brand."

In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob Moore invites a diverse group of critics to have a roundtable discussion about his upcoming book. The book tackles on increasing your self-worth to improve yourself and achieve more. Today, Rob, together with the 8 critics, gives us an overview of how they do the vigorous process of critiquing. This should be a fun discussion to discover how Rob formed the team, how the critics help Rob in the technical aspects (e.g. structure, brevity, grammar, etc.) of the book, and how they manage to collaborate all the inputs and feedback. Rob wants to make sure that it’s the absolute guide for each and every one once it is released. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob’s upcoming book is all about increasing self-worth since he wants you to think, get you changing the root of your life, and feel good about yourself. Through his experience, from business to personal, and relationships, the reader gets precious nuggets of wisdom to start self-discovery. Rob admits that he’s not very good with his English and grammar so to have critics read it before it lands on every fan’s hands is an important process. He wanted to make sure it’s short, concise and has good flow. He doesn’t want the quality of writing to go down since he’s been gaining a following from his previous works. Rob on his writing process: “I try and pick individual issues out and give them their own section... I designed this book to be a guide you can get back to." Rob: If you could sum up what the book is about, what would you say? “Know that you are worth more and that you are already enough.” “See things as they are and not what they are.” “It is just the journey of self-discovery that takes you to the process step by step from theory to examples and some little bits on what shaped you and why you behave in the past the way you do.” “For anyone that ever doubted themselves, might answer get the book and read it. Get the points, get on board, and believe in yourself anymore.” “It covers a wide range of different aspects of the issues relating to self-worth. If you've been in the game for a long time, they would've heard of some of these. And other parts of the book, they wouldn't have heard of because they're from you, your journey, and your take on it. It's got content for everybody.” “Be aware of how your own perception can affect your reality and how much control you can have on your reality.” “It goes through all aspects on what you've said that the influence is on your worth - whether that's your perceptions on what people might think of you living up to unattainable goals. But what I'm taking here the biggest is the mastery of your emotions and controlling to achieve balance in those because that's something we struggle with at every circumstance.” BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes you go from strategy to strategy to strategy thinking that it's the strategies that are not working but you're the common denominator in property, forex, internet marketing, and whatever else. If you can address your self-worth and improve what you feel about yourself, then that's gonna come through in whatever business model or opportunity you do."– Rob "The thing is… at the moment, you look at it with great pain but then you can look at it with nostalgia." – Rob “One thing I've learned with a book is you can take it so far. You have to let it go because if you control everything, you'll never get it out."– Rob [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 dives into ‘How To Get More Things Done’ Rob sums up the 10 easy steps to get more done in less time and super-charge your business. Tune in to learn more about how to leverage and outsource everything and start working on your business, not in it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pick the one task that negates all the rest or is worth 95% Avoid all distractions and time drains by isolating yourself and the task that you’re doing without distractions and that is technology distractions, people distractions, your own wandering mind distraction. Turn on your headphones, go to a café, off all devices, off all wifi, etc. Get hardcore accountability. Get your staff to get things done on time. Make it happen. You should do it to get more things done outside of yourself. If you going to spend your time, make sure it’s an investment. Build an asset while you’re spending your time, a training manual from your company. Do something that will be an asset for many years to come. It might be something that gives you passive income like creating podcasts or ebooks. Do the big scary hairy thing first and early to build great momentum and compounding for the rest of the day, month, and week of your life. Fix if in doubt, leverage it out. So leverage first, manage the leverage second, and only do tasks last. If in doubt, leverage at it. Do the one that negates the rest. Others, delegate it to other people. Outsource all low priority task, all low-income generating task and admin to outsources, assistance, staff, friends, family, etc. Think about net time leverage. How can you do an audio podcast and a live feed video which then becomes a LinkedIn video at the same time. Sales calls and coaching calls in the car in the 2-hour journey. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks in the gym. Go for a walk and have a meeting while walking like Steve Jobs did. Try to get 2 or 3 things done in one unit of time. Compartmentalize your time and your diary. So all of your big rocks in your life, you batch them first then the smallest, they are next. Block it out and recur it in the diary. Family, Social stuff, kids, etc. Work can suck through your time and leave your life unbalanced. Avoid them time drains. Debates, moaning, bitching, complaining, debating, justifying, defending unless it is building your personal brand or generating income. BEST MOMENTS “Are you picking the biggest hairy scary thing and doing it first and early? If you do that every day, your day will get great momentum. Momentum creates compounding, and compounding creates results.” “But the reality of getting more done in less time is to get all the things you don’t love or the low-value task or the admin task or the task that takes you a long time but you’re not very good at, leverage and outsource them early, just like you do the big scary hairy task early.” [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 entrepreneur, businessman, philanthropist and proud Scotsman, Sir Tom Hunter. Tom is Scotland’s first home-grown billionaire and is known as Britain's most generous tycoon. In 1998 after selling Tom’s first business, Sports Division for a cool £290m, he started The Hunter Foundation. Helping to fund start-ups and grow business education. The foundation has since donated millions to help support education and entrepreneurial projects in Scotland. Tune in to hear, Rob and Tom discuss and share their own views, on Business, charity, entrepreneurialism and the value and importance of giving back to those less fortunate. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob: You’re known as Britain's most generous tycoon, why do you think that is? Tom: When I sold my first business 20 years ago I was only 37. I had already made more money that I thought I would ever make and it was at that time myself and my wife made some decisions. The first was that I wanted to stay in business, but as a family, we didn’t need any more money. So we set up the Tom Hunter Foundation. Rob: What are the differences between learning in the classroom and learning by going out there and doing it? Tom: I really value learning from practitioners. If we’re going to learn about entrepreneurs, I want to hear from an entrepreneur. MBA’s are enough by themselves, you need to have done it also. I’m always listening to the person that’s been there and done it, learn by doing. It’s a mixture of learning in the classroom and having the experience to draw from. We like to talk about successes, but the best learning is through your own failures. Rob: Can you share some of your failures? Tom: During the financial crisis we were heavily invested, maybe over-invested and we didn’t see it coming. It was my fault and we lost an awful lot of money. But the learnings from that time have benefited us in moving forward. But look, I’ve never met an entrepreneur that hasn’t made a mistake, an entrepreneurs journey is up, down, left and right. But it’s how we deal with failure that really marks us out. Aim to fail quick and fail cheap, and then get back on the bus. But Fail with some humility so people will back you next time. Rob: Best advice you’ve ever received? - It’s too much wealth to have, go and find your purpose. Rob: If you lost it all and had to start again, what would you do? - I’d find partnerships and   Rob What would you change in the world? - I would have more practitioners in government to help write and advise on policies. Use that knowledge to better the country. Rob: Does money make you more or less happy? - Yes, money makes you happy if you give it away. Rob: What does the word disruptive mean to you? - We want to back disruptors, both in our foundation and our West Coast Capital, money making side. Disruptors are people who the status quo is not enough, they look at the world as it is and say no. They look to make a change and a difference. BEST MOMENTS “We are trying to do something good with our money, whilst we’re still alive” “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards” “My dad is my hero, he made millions and lost millions, made a bit and lost a bit, but he has always had an amazing talent” “Our investment philosophy is backing the entrepreneur” “We want to encourage more entrepreneurs starting and scaling their businesses” “There are some things that people are naturally born with, but with coaching, we can accelerate our skills and make a difference, we all need mentors, coaches and teachers” “People should learn by doing, talk to your customers and learn from your mistakes” “What you’ve been through is invaluable and it’s not just the money that can help people, it’s the knowledge too. You need to find ways of leveraging your time so that you can work out what it is your passionate about so that you can help others.” “Leave your kids enough money to do something but not enough for them to do nothing” ABOUT GUEST Sir Tom Hunter is Scotland’s first ever home-grown billionaire, with an estimated wealth of £1.05 billion. Tom set up his first business after graduating from Strathclyde University as he was in his own words "unemployable".
