Aston Merrygold: Rob Interviews with Global Pop Star from JLS [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Interview with Aston Merrygold, former member of JLS, one of the biggest ever boy bands with 10,000,000 records sold. Aston’s since been a judge on a dance talent show and appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. He’s appeared in adverts for Coca-Cola, Samsung and Tesco. Rob’s met with Aston at his dance studio in Vauxhall to discuss success, wealth, leveraging social media, reinventing your career and dealing with the business side of celebrity. KEY TAKEAWAYS You’re now pursuing a career as a solo artist, that must be different to working with your bandmates. I bet there’s upsides and downsides, do you want to talk about that Aston? Yeah, I guess the only real difference is the social. you'd be in a room with your friends, business partners, having a heated business discussion, everyone's got their own ideas and nothing ever arrives to arguments or blows, but from an outside perspective it can be quite awkward. It looks like we're going at each other, but that's just the passion. Now on my own, it's my way or the highway. I prefer it that way, 100%! I'm so thankful to the rest of the guys and my team, but now being on my own I can finally be myself and express myself fully, not contribute 25% to a four-piece. How do you want to be known and remembered, Aston? Well, I want to be remembered as one of the greats, and I think if you don't want that, then you're in the wrong industry. If I could have an eighth, a third or a slice of something someone like Michael Jackson had or Justin Timberlake, more recently. If I could get a slice of their success, I'd be more than happy! Music or dance specifically, or the fusion of both, Aston? Do you know what? I think it's just entertainment. People ask me what I do for a living, and I tell them entertainment. It's everything, music, from a writing perspective, from a performance perspective, dance-wise, acting, everything. I love everything to do with this industry. Working with business partners, sometimes that passion can overflow, sometimes you can fall out, how did you and your band learn to deal with and overcome that? To be honest, I don't know why, we just did! There was no learning process. As individuals we just wanted to fight the good fight. We would put it to each other like, "If we do this we could be here, if we do that we could be there..." It was all about where we needed to be. What was best for us as a collective. I was the youngest of the four so I tended not to take things as seriously, when it came to the business aspect I was more than happy to give my opinion and not back down, but ultimately I thought that was why we outsourced, hiring business managers, administrators and consultants, to make those decisions on our behalf. How much of it was agents and labels telling you what to do and how much of it was you saying, "Wait a minute, we want to do this." Well, I'd say about 50\50. We were trusted with our opinions which was great. There were times when we trusted the label, sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Just the way of the industry. Sometimes our hits which we didn't think would succeed were massive and other times the releases we thought would be huge just didn't hit the mark. Luck of the draw, half the time. We would have to trust our lives to these people and we had a great run, I think I can speak on behalf of myself and the boys when I say it was the best thing we'd ever done. So, from your position, why do you guys feel like you moved on? I think it was the perfect turn, I'm still in JLS, I'm always going to be in JLS, but we were young when we entered the industry, then we got our break. We're all now in our mid 20's, we've already had a fantastic career, we have time to pursue other dreams! Five albums take a lot of time, there's been a lot of tours and it was the thought of signing the deal for another five albums and being contracted all over again. Now we're all starting families, it seemed to us that we were at the top of our game, didn't want to overstay our welcome and then if we're welcome back then we're welcome back! We're more than happy with where JLS left.Was it scary, leaving the industry to try other things? Hell yeah! It was so scary, because I'd been cocooned. For the last 7/8 years I'd lived by the diary, having cars pick me up at certain times to take me to meetings and events at certain times. From life being handled by every aspect to getting the reigns back to my own life was definitely scary, but I was free. I got to start again with all the knowledge and wisdom of the industry which I didn't have before, it was a rush! You seem totally laid back about transitioning career and going from being massive to starting from scratch, Aston. What would you say to people who aren't as laid back as you and they're scared? Well, you can look at fear one or two ways; it can over could you and make you introverted, or you can take it upon yourself and admit it's scary. There's a difference jumping out of a plane with a parachute and without one. Regardless of whether you have one or not, it's scary. Jumping without one, it'll only ever end one way, with one you still have a safety net which may not work but at least you confront it and take it head on. Nowadays on Social Media you can be absolutely killed. One wrong remark or faux-pas and that could be your career done within a matter of hours, regardless of what's happened. It's as cut-throat as that. Once you realise and know that, life won't be so stressful! You might as well just be like, "Alright, well I'll try again." Is that faith? Is that belief in yourself? Is that confidence? Is that accepting of your industry and career and how it can be or is it all of those, Aston? It's all of them, it has to be. Sometimes I can see the bad sides of all those things within the industry and think you can be too confident. You might as well be naked on stage and say, "There you go, judge away." Has the industry changed you? Yeah, definitely. I used to go out with my mates from uni, early twenties, same as everyone else. The only difference was that I was I had money so we could really enjoy ourselves and the media perceived me to be showing off. What else would you be doing on a weekend with your friends from uni at that age, going out every night obviously! Do I have work tomorrow? Yeah of course, but I'm fine! So you've talked about these glass ceilings to smash through, what's your glass ceiling and how're you going to smash through it? The next glass ceiling is just getting music out there. Letting people know that I'm a solo artist now. Not many people know it. Music's based mainly online now, it's ever-changing and you can so quickly and easily get lost. It's me having the courage to step back and take a harder look at it and evaluating how I want to approach it. At first I was like, "Yeah I want to chuck anything out and do whatever." Whereas now I'm like, "Now I have to chuck it out in the right way." Do you think some of the purists struggle with how fast music and content are changing? Yes! I had a meeting the other day with a great friend of mine who works for a label and he got pissed off with me for talking on my phone. He said, "Stop talking, I've heard your stuff, let people hear it and decide!" Get your content out there. Whether 10 people here it or 10,000,000 people hear it, you'll effect change. People think they should wait for the perfect time but there is not perfect time. It's ever-changing, so fast paced! People are now starting to put their own truth out to the world. Podcasts, YouTube, Social Media, etc. People want honesty, but you're damned if you do and damned if you don't if when for example your niche is writing sad songs and you decide to write a happy one, some of your followers may disapprove but at least you're being authentic. Too often we aim to please everybody and don't want to be judged too harshly. A lot of people are really intrigued about the business side of your career, did you show an interest in that or did you just want to go and do entertainment? At first, I was definitely happy-go-lucky, thinking business was cool but then I'd get invited to an accounting meeting and I'd think, "Perfect..." Then the taxes came and I wanted to know who was taking my money! As it went on I wondered why hadn't they taught me about this at school? All these avenues and options, I don't know why it took me to reach a certain age for it to click. In the early stages money was coming in thick and fast, unreal! First I was partying, then I wanted to buy a house, then the business aspect start to get more real. Then I started to analyse why the volume of gigs in the first part of the year was more than the third part of the year, etc. I started to realise there was a business cycle behind it all. A preparation period, a release period, etc. A template every artist follows. People are launching from yesterday. "I'm gonna be in the studio tomorrow, everyone out there, check out this song that I posted last night." The rule book's been thrown out the window! Slade wrote a Christmas number one 40 years ago and they're still milking £500,000 per year from it! Cristiano Ronaldo gets €300,000 per tweet if he does a brand endorsement. There's some downsides to Social Media but if you want to set up a business or be an artist or creative, surely it's gotta be the best time in history?! You get a small tripod for £5, set your camera up, start singing or dancing or whatever and start selling products! Have you embraced all the Social Media, are you quite active? Instagram and visual things I love, things like Twitter, not so much. For me, Twitter's maybe 90% negative and 10% positive. You get a lot of opinions when people post music but aren't ready to perform in front of large crowds of people. You want to be true to your art and your work and you could spend 30 years crafting your work, never be perfect, get still always be judged by purist critics. Social Media today, you can dictate the terms. If you like the comments, get involved. If you hate it, turn it off, if you're an introvert you can do a podcast because nobody can see your face! There's ways around it now, there's lanes, avenues, ways people can really express themselves. Building multiple streams of income and making hay while the sun shines. I've seen a lot a lot of people who've become very successful and then relaxed. You never know when there could be another recession. In your world Aston, you can be the best and then you can be gone. Do you think about building income streams, having multiple business interest endorsements? What are your thoughts on streams of income and making hay while the sun shines? I'm 110% up for building these streams of income. As an artist I choose when I get paid. If I don't want to get paid, I don't go out and work. It doesn't work for me. You're never too successful! There's always bills to pay and people to provide for. We're sitting in one of my avenues now. There's always a bigger picture. I'd like ten of these, dotted around the country, dotted around the world. You've got a business partner in this venture. How important is having that business partner, what benefit have you got? It's nice to always have the other perspective, coming from a band it's nice to bounce ideas. At the same time, when I'm touring, I need someone to hold down the fort. If something comes up within the business which I can't handle straight away, he can handle that. It's nice having a business partner that's totally on your wavelength. Gold dust! People say you shouldn't go into business with friends. I say life's too short to go into business with people purely for commercial benefit and not enjoy your time together, especially if you succeed. Surely, you'd want to succeed with your friends and people you care about?! If they're true friends, you'll never run into any worries. They'll all eventually show their true colours. The best advice you've ever received, if you can remember it? From Seal, actually. One of the greats. He told me, "Enjoy it." Regardless of whether you're performing in front of 50 people at a local concert or 50,000 in an arena, enjoy it. We're all rushing everything we ever do, so slow down, soak it up. Worst advice? Honestly, I've never had bad advice. If I've ever had advice which didn't go according to plan, I'd learn from it, which would be invaluable anyway. Going against my gut always bites me. A myth about the industry or a celebrity or someone in the media which most people don't know about? When you get £1,000,000 you don't actually get £1,000,000! Why didn't they teach you in school that if you're an employee, when you get paid, you lose 40% to tax?! Management, agents, staff, whomever it may be, they all get a slice too. So once all of the overheads are cleared you're left with around £200,000/£300,000... Don't ever believe the newspapers! If I did six or seven of those gigs, then I'd be looking at earning that kind of money. Anything you strongly believe in the world that you'd like to change and put your stamp on? The Social Media is such a curse and such a blessing at the same time. People use it for so much good but at the same time you have to filter through so much rubbish and negativity to find any scrap of it. I'd like to put more filters and choice for people. The theme that's emerged in this interview is that there's two sides to this reality. Social media is a bit negative, but we can put our products and content out to the world in five minutes. Celebrity's all good or celebrity's all bad... There's a choice. You can always choose how you look at things and approach them. What does the word disruptive mean to you? Now? A four-and-a-half-month old baby screaming at 2am! Personally, for me being disruptive is probably more of a good thing. Music is always disrupting the airways and people's vision and hears. Music that disrupts popular, conventional music creates its own undefined genre. I enjoy proving that there aren't any rules! BEST MOMENTS The best thing about building a dance studio underneath a railway bridge is that there’s no sound restrictions, so if clients want to have their music playing at top volume, they can. It's good that clients hear music going on when they arrive, if it was silent then it'd feel like something was wrong. The smell adds to it too! I never felt the need to push buttons. If someone was feeling a bit tender over a business decision or something similar, I'd tend to back off and give them some time and space. There's no ceiling. Every ceiling you see is made of glass and if you don't smash through it then you're going to get stuck. I'm going to invest in myself instead of waiting for years for the knock on the door from the big label. Everybody's putting their stuff out through their own means. That one bad review out of the 1,000 decent ones really doesn't matter! Don't fixate on it. If I sit out home all day, doing nothing, it's not long before the phone stops ringing. I have to go out, make myself known, do shows, take appointments, etc. because if I don't do it now then my family will be in trouble. Focus yourself on what you've got, not what you've not got. I realised Social Media was a daily thing. Instagram, Twitter, people wanted to see all of you, not just the music. Sometimes I would grow my hair for campaigns, sometimes you'd see a yearly cycle within a day! As you said, happiness is a choice. Now it feels like, well that's just common sense, why would I not want to be happy? It's quite alluring and tempting, the gossip, the bad news, it's an attractive thing for some people. When my little boy came along, I thought he needs everything I didn't have when I was growing up, regardless of whether I can buy it right now or not.

RANT: What Being ‘Realistic’ REALLY is... [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: What Being ‘Realistic’ REALLY is... [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

“The optimist designed the aero plane and the pessimist designed the parachute” In today’s insightful episode Rob discusses the optimist vs the realist and the need for balance. Tune in to discover the upside and the downside of being a pessimist and an optimist, how you can master goal setting and fear setting and how you too, can achieve wisdom, clarify and banish fear so you can take your business to the next level. KEY TAKEAWAYS When most people say they are a realist, what they mean is they’re scared. Realists follow the ‘glass half empty viewpoint’ and in reality, they are a pessimist. Realists are worried about making mistakes, taking risks, failing and what other people feel about them. If you want to change the world you can’t be a realist, you need to be an optimist   A realist waits for the proof something can be done, an optimist explores what could be done and hasn’t been proven yet.   The optimist thinks the pessimist is scared and the pessimist thinks the optimist is naive and in reality, they’re both correct and have equal upsides and downsides.   The ideal mindset is a mixture of realism and optimism deployed equally in your industry. As a property investor you need to be an optimist to see deals, margins and investment where others don’t, but also be realistic about the numbers and the yield you’re looking to achieve.   It’s important to stay balanced. In reality, a ‘realist’ should be an optimist when required and a realist when required. ‘Goal setting’ is planning the upside and ‘fear setting’ is planning for the downside.   If you become the optimist, the realist and the pessimist in any given situation you will then have wisdom.    BEST MOMENTS “Human progress is not realistic, it’s a dream, fantasy and a vision and it takes these types of people to change the world.” “Wisdom is understanding the universal law of balance and duality” “If you want to change the world you need to be an optimist”   [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.

Juan Pablo Escobar: The Son of Notorious Drug Lord Pablo Escobar [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Juan Pablo Escobar: The Son of Notorious Drug Lord Pablo Escobar [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Most people hear the word Pablo Escobar and almost have a heart attack. In today’s enthralling interview, you get to hear from the real son of the Drug Lord, listen to the stories of him as a father, an entrepreneur and as a notorious Drug Lord. Uncover the shocking stories, lessons and revolutionary business advice Pablo Escobar used to grow, operate and successfully scale a business globally. KEY TAKEAWAYS Juan Pablo Escobar - The Son of Notorious Drug Lord Pablo Escobar gives a history of how he grew up around guns, violence and a lot of travelling and how his father told him what he does for a living while he was at the age of seven. He also talks about how that impacted him from then until now, that is, all the violence, bodyguards, guns and the travelling. Success is something that you can truly enjoy doing a lot of time, not just for a couple of years of your life. This is what Juan always teaches everybody and advises them not to take part in crime like his father and to not see that as a successful life which is not. Juan talks about how he had to attend a meeting with his father’s enemies who had said would kill him at that meeting while he was 16 years old and how he had to give all things that they had inherited from their father so that there could be peace. Juan has been through a lot and it has been difficult for him now that he is an architect and he faces challenges just like any other business person out there. He has lots of challenges in building his identity now that his father had a huge identity. Juan also talks about his father’s life as a businessman and how he used to traffic drugs from Colombia to the United States using jeans pants and how the policemen would not notice the drugs in the pants. Juan says that his father was a very wealthy man that the money he had could only be counted in kilograms but not in amount because he had so much money that there were not enough machines in the bank and time to count every single coin. Juan encourages people to educate their children as a weapon to fight against drugs. BEST MOMENTS “I cannot tell you that I know, even one single drug dealer who could say, I'm retired. No, they are all in jail or cemetery.” “Having that kind of success my father had will kill your family members, your friends and everybody, what's the point of having that kind of opportunity.” “I'm not attached to my name, not even to my last name.” “When you declare something you are changing immediately your present and future.” “Nothing grows under a big tree.” “While we are suffering, everybody is enjoying it.” “What’s the purpose of having so much money and power if you're not going to be allowed to enjoy it?” “We are not going to live forever.” “We are not 100% bad or 100% good.” “Cocaine is a poison to sell, but not a poison to take.” “A brave man is the one who doesn't do drugs.” “Education is the only weapon that could truly make a change in our kid’s behaviour on drugs.” “If you need to use guns to defend your ideas, perhaps you have to check your ideas.” ABOUT THE GUEST Sebastián Marroquín (born Juan Pablo Escobar Henao, 24 February 1977 in Medellín, Colombia) is a Colombian architect, author, and the son of slain Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Caffeine Cast: How do you target your high value clients (7 Ways) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Learn seven of the best strategies to target the highest value clients for your business or service. Rob covers proven models, tested tactics and expert marketing materials to bring you your ideal clients and get them coming back over and over again. This is a must-listen episode to all entrepreneurs looking to scale their business and bring in more high-value clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to know your IC P. Ideal Client Profile, unless you have an ideal client profile, you cannot target your marketing and your messaging and your ads and ultimately go set up your business knowing which clients to say yes to which clients to say no to. Go through all your existing clients and rank them from the ideal one at the top to a client who you don't want at the bottom. It’s vital from now on that you source the leads and the importance of the origin of your clients. Rank your worst clients as well and you want to make sure that you don't allow in clients like that next time. You've got to have the language that speaks to the ideal client when you are targeting them, and you can only do that when you know who your ideal client is. Your content and the ads in your offers, your marketing, your language, the collateral that you provide in a website should overcome the objections of your clients. Do a survey to your clients and ask them what their biggest problems and pains are, and then turn that into content if you are doing content marketing and you're not sure what video content to put out there. Get your clients to refer people to you. It’s not just about having referrals which makes it easy for your marketing, but the fact that you're getting the ideal kind of client. You should also sell more to existing clients. BEST MOMENTS “No two clients have the same value, even if they spend the same amount of money.”“Don’t put a message out that you like, but it's not for your ideal client.”“The best source of your ideal clients is your ideal clients referring them to you.”“Half your marketing will work, or half your spend will get a return, you just don't know which half.” [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: If I Took This 'Advice' I'd be Skint & Unhappy (Warning) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: If I Took This 'Advice' I'd be Skint & Unhappy (Warning) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Common sense is not so common and ‘free advice is worth every penny’. To be a successful property investor and entrepreneur you need to reverse the common sense advise out there, invest in yourself, build a team of specialists and find a mentor that will help drive you forward. Tune in to another honest rant as Rob discuss what it takes to be entrepreneur and how you truly can leverage the skills of others and get creative in business and in property by ignoring the common advice in the market.   KEY TAKEAWAYS A good entrepreneur is a generalist that knows strategy, vision, leadership and building a team but they’re not a master of any one thing. An entrepreneur is able to take experts and specialists and put them together to create a direction.   If you wait your whole life to save up deposits to purchase property you’ll never get anywhere. Discovering mentors who can help to advise and guide you with the right investment tactics and strategies and attending courses will enable you to ‘learn to buy property’ which can be done without your own money.   ‘Free advice is worth every penny’ if you only consume free content then you will only ever get a broad level of knowledge. In property you need a deep knowledge of two main investment strategies. Leverage the mistakes of others and stand on the shoulders of giants. Do you due-diligence when securing a mentor to be sure you are setting yourself up for success.   BEST MOMENTS “Common sense is not so common” “You can take pretty much all common sense and pretty much reverse it” “Beware of free advice, it’s worth every penny” “Every winner was once a beginner and every master was once a disaster” “Not buying courses is not learning how to buy property” “I got to 50 properties before putting my own deposits in” “Money makes you lazy” “Learn from the mistakes of others”   [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.

Jack Cowin: Billionaire Restaurant Mogul, 50 Years of Business Experience [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Have you ever wondered just how a billionaire got to where they are today? Well find out today how  Canadian-Australian businessman and Australias 23rd richest person Jack Cowin managed to get to where they are today. Together they discuss how businesses will need to adapt to survive through the COVID-19 restrictions, why the first rule of business is ‘never run out of money’ and why to be disruptive in business, you need to embrace change.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Businesses need to adapt to what the customers new needs are if they wish to keep their businesses afloat. Since the lockdown caused by the pandemic,  customers now wish to stay at home more and consume food and entertainment from their homes. With the new COVID-19 restrictions businesses will have to adapt to the new normal and make changes to their existing business model in order to meet their customers new needs.    Whilst it’s important to take risks, rule number one in business is ‘don’t run out of money, stay in business’. You may have many things go wrong, you may make many mistakes along the way but by not allowing your business to run out of money, nothing life threatening could happen to your business. You have to make sure everybody is ambitious, but don’t do it to the extent whereby if the ship doesn’t come in you are going to drown.    When it comes to dealing with conflict effectively, put yourself in the other persons shoes. Try and come back to them and find a middle ground that you can all agree on. It is not easy to admit that you are wrong and somebody else is right. You need to put yourself into a position whereby you’re conscious of what the other person wants and thinks. Be empathetic and try to understand people.    You have to treat money with respect and handle it as though it is somewhat fragile. You have to be conscious that what you have today, you could lose tomorrow. Nothing else counts if you lose your health, you could be the richest guy in the game but if you don’t have your health nothing else really matters.    To be disruptive is to accept and welcome change. You need to be able to accept that change is a constant and nothing will ever remain the same. We’re living in a world today in which there is probably more change than has ever taken place.    BEST MOMENTS  “I think the exchange of information through vehicles like zoom will make a huge difference to business.”    “Don’t work on the business work in the business”   “You don’t have to put it all on the nose to win, if you have more than one horse in the race that helps. You do not want to have your entire business dependent on ‘this horse has to win, or we’re out of business’.”    ABOUT THE GUEST  Jack Cowin is a Canadian-Australian businessman who owns Hungry Jack's, the Burger King franchise in Australia and is the Executive Chairman of Competitive Foods Australia, one of the country's largest privately-held businesses. The business Competitive Foods Australia continues to be privately held by his family, with an estimated value of $350 million. Forbes Asia assessed Cowin's net worth as US$1.7 bn in 2019, and he was ranked as the 23rd richest Australian by net worth.   [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: Why I've Really Retired (Everything Revealed) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: Why I've Really Retired (Everything Revealed) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Do you find yourself dreaming of your retirement years and what you plan to do with them? Well, today you can learn how to make those dreams a reality as Rob details how he has been able to retire at the age of just 41. Discover today what retirement means, the 5 stages of retirement and how you can easily achieve these.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Retirement is not to do nothing. Retirement is having the choice to do something else. Retirement is the choice to not be stuck in a career working for a company that you don’t want to do for the long term. It is about having the choice to take mini-retirements, start a new business or write a book.   Whether you want to sell your companies or not, they have to be scaleable to be saleable. You need an operations manual, you need a manager or MD and you need to be able to not have to go to the office for weeks. Could your businesses survive without you for months on end? Could they thrive not just survive? Could they scale? If the answer is no then you are not ready to retire.   If you retire and do nothing you lose value and when you lose the value you lose your self-worth. Losing your self-worth means losing your contribution and we need to equally contribute as well as consume. Retirement is having total time freedom.   It is not inconceivable that in a few short years you can reach the asset-based retirement. Reaching this point takes the stress of earning. You no longer need to exchange your time for money and you can exchange your time for ideas, relationships and partnerships.    Systemising your business is letting go to grow. It is making you redundant not reliant. This may be writing an operations manual or getting a manager and a personal assistant. Anything that you do that is tactical or technical that needs your decision making should be documented in a manual. Good entrepreneurs are generalist. They have decent knowledge in all areas of business but they are not the go-to expert in each business niche. If you align with some of the best experts then you can successfully systemise your business.   Retirement created time to do more of what you love. If you rely on the government or an external entity for your retirement then that strategy will no longer work. You need to take full, final and personal responsibility for your retirement. The only person that is going to retire you is you. To allow you to do this early, you need assets, systems, processes, teams, managers and a vision.   BEST MOMENTS “I retired from the old thing, and I started the new thing. I didn’t know that was going to be the case, but you have to be there to be able to test that out.”   “Being valuable is really important for your self-worth for the value that you create to others and for the meaning in your life.”   “People tend to think that nobody could do the job as good as me when actually some people can do it better”   [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.
