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: Not Everyone Can Be an Entrepreneur! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Not Everyone Can Be an Entrepreneur! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Have you always been under the impression that not everyone is able to be an entrepreneur, so why bother trying? Join us today as Rob explains why this is not the case and what can set you apart from the rest. Learn today why now is the perfect time to contemplate your future goals, identifying business areas which excite you and the difference between being the employer and the employed.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone, but everyone can be an entrepreneur if they have the desire. If there was ever a time to contemplate what you are doing with your life and your business and where you see your life going, it is now. Life has been put on pause and to a certain degree, you may be comfortable at this time. Think about what areas of business excite you. Some people enjoy the strategy, marketing and the vision but for others, it may be the creativity and designing process. It is good to look deeper and question why you are not putting yourself out there more and identify internal fears you may have. The one main difference between being an entrepreneur and being employed is accountability. When you are employed the accountability is on your employer. When you are an entrepreneur the accountability is on yourself. Everything else such as selling, marketing and management features in both concepts. The great thing about being an entrepreneur is that you can outsource some of the skills that you don’t have. Find people who are geniuses in areas that you are not, this can help you be able to do your own thing without focusing your energy on tasks you are unable to complete to your high standard.   BEST MOMENTS “You might have gone more insular, you might have gone more contemplative and you might question more.” “I hated selling before I got into business. I had no idea about marketing before I got into business. I hated conflict before I got into business.” “It doesn’t make me feel good, not at all but I can do it, because I know it is the right thing 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.

Paula Radcliffe: MBE Legendary Marathon Athlete on Reinventing Career [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Paula Radcliffe: MBE Legendary Marathon Athlete on Reinventing Career [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

If you are in need of a bit of motivation under the current circumstances, then listen in to today's episode as Rob is joined by former world record holder, 3 time London marathon winner and MBE, the inspirational Paula Radcliffe. Together they discuss the importance of loving what you do, why surrounding yourself with a strong support network can help you overcome challenges in your life and advice on how to stay in a positive mind frame.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you love what you’re doing then you will invest far more effort, willpower and energy into getting a good result out of it. If you are doing something that you love it is conducive to being successful. It is much easier to invest everything into your career if you love doing it because you are getting rewards, every single day.   What you are and what you do everyday defines the person that you are. The accolades and the success you may achieve are only a small part of the person that you are. The person that you are is reflected in how you treat people all the way through the day.   We always need a support network of family and friends around us. Having this network of people allows us to be able to keep on working towards what we wish to achieve or when overcoming big challenges.   To keep a positive mindset, always try and find the positives rather than the negatives in any tough situation you may come across. Learn to talk through your problems so that if things are getting to you, you can talk things through with the supportive people around you. Finally, focus on what you can do and not what you can’t do, you will never get anywhere by focusing on what you can’t do.   Take time to yourself. We often tend to try and run around, getting everything done for others, and only after you have seen to other people’s needs, do you manage to get your own stuff completed. Make sure you make the most out of every day, and take that time for you. Do the things that you want to do and fit them in before it is too late.   BEST MOMENTS “When you get up in the morning and think ‘ I am going to be the best person I can be today’,  that is defining who you are.”   “That’s when I really needed that support network around me. We always need that.”   “Every now and again step out of your life and look back in and be sure that you’re proud of the person you are and the way that you are living your life.”   ABOUT THE GUEST: Paula Jane Radcliffe, MBE is a former British long-distance runner. She is a three-time winner of the London Marathon (2002, 2003, 2005), three-time New York Marathon champion (2004, 2007, 2008), and 2002 Chicago Marathon winner. She was previously the fastest female marathoner of all time, and held the Women's World Marathon Record with a time of 2:15:25 for 16 years from 2003 to 2019. Her running has earned her a number of accolades including the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Laureus World Comeback of the Year, IAAF World Athlete of the Year, AIMS World Athlete of the Year (three times) and a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). She has also been nominated for World Sportswoman of the year on several occasions. In 2010, she was inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame.   [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: How to Balance Your Day Job With a Side Hustle [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: How to Balance Your Day Job With a Side Hustle [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

If you’re constantly wondering how people manage to work a full-time job and hold down an additional income source on the side, today you can find out how this can be possible for you too. Join Rob today as he gives some advice on how you can achieve your business goals, by simply setting yourself a specific date to achieve your goals in order to keep you focused, defining your key result areas and making these the focal point of your time as well as ensuring you remain consistent when you’re in the flow of momentum.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Set yourself a specific date, some time in the midterm future where you have achieved whatever goal it is your desiring to achieve but haven’t yet set. Your time frame is depending on how much time you have, and how much income you have already. It is ideal to have a scalable plan somewhere between realistic and optimistic, optimistic maybe months, realistic maybe years. Go somewhere in the middle.    The first part of the plan is to compartmentalise your diary and slot in key result areas and income-generating tasks for your side hustle. Even if you are working long shifts or have other commitments, go through that diary and block your time accordingly.    The best thing to do in your plan is to know what your key result areas are. These are the areas that will achieve your vision, that will have the highest impact in achieving your goals and your mission. You do your key result areas, then you outsource all your none income-generating tasks to a VA.    In the property industry, there are four key result areas only. Viewings, offers, finance and management and everything else is admin. There are no other key result areas, yet you could write hundreds of things to do each day, and the majority of them would not be classed as a key result area.    You need to remain consistent, this could be three hours a week as long as you don’t miss a week. Life gets in the way, but when you’re moving you have got to keep moving and when you’re thinking about things, you will get them done. When you’re in the flow it is so much harder to get out of that flow when you’re in momentum. Once you have nailed your routine, keep consistent so as not to lose momentum.    What you have got to stop doing is thinking and believing that it  is easier for everyone else, it is just different for everyone else. Those that earn really good money may have more to lose, but you can leverage your experience and will have different upsides to others. As soon as you say it is easier for others, you are losing. It is never easier, it is only different.   BEST MOMENTS “The amount of time doesn’t matter, the vital thing is the habit.” “Our old habits die hard.” “Most entrepreneurs seem to be momentum junkies. Once we’re on a roll, it is hard to stop us, but once we get out of a habit, it is hard to get back on it again.” “Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. We’ve all got a different story, we’ve all got a different scenario, we all come from different backgrounds, we’re all in a different stage of life.”   [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: Why “I’ve Tried That, it Didn’t Work” is Lying to Yourself [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Why “I’ve Tried That, it Didn’t Work” is Lying to Yourself [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Have you ever found yourself saying “I’ve tried that, and it didn’t work!” then today’s podcast is just for you as Rob discusses how to change your business outlook and why impatience can be detrimental on your journey. In this short yet sweet episode, Rob considers the importance of analysing how long you have tried something, before judging whether or not it was a success, changing your mindset to “I tried that but it didn’t work...yet.” and why focusing on the end result, will distract you on your journey to success.  KEY TAKEAWAYS   When you or people you know say ‘I’ve tried that, and it didn’t work.’ ask them, did you really try it properly? If they planted a seed in a garden would they come back the next day and say it didn’t work if there was no tree?   You need to look at how long somebody tried something before you can judge whether it did or didn’t work. If you catch yourself quitting and thinking something doesn’t work after a short period of time, you may want to instead say ‘tried that, didn’t work this time, need to test, tweak and improve.’   Whilst a bit of impatience is pretty good as it allows you to hustle away and get stuff done, patience is vital. Too much impatience will eventually lead you to self-sabotage and squander.   Something will organically grow at its own pace, you can become impatient with the process but this will not force it to grow any quicker. All you can do is be persistent, consistent and patient, follow a process and a system and focus on the process rather than the outcome, too much focus on the outcome will distract you from the process.    Before you give up on something, check how long you have been working on it. Sometimes it is wise to give up on things that are broken and outdated, if you’ve been trying to grow something for years and years, giving up on this then becomes a strength and not a weakness.  BEST MOMENTS “If you find yourself saying ‘tried that didn’t work’ then are you repeating that pattern.” “You need to grow the roots before you see the shoots.” “Focus on the process rather than outcome.”   [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.

JP Sears: Ultra Spiritual Comedian & Internet Sensation [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

JP Sears: Ultra Spiritual Comedian & Internet Sensation [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

It is not very often we have the same guest more than once on the TDE podcast, but today we’re breaking our own rules and are joined by American spiritual life coach, stand-up comedian and internet sensation who boasts a following of over 1 million on his youtube channel, JP Sears. Together they discuss how doing things that scare you will expand your comfort zone, how the true warriors in life are those who have the biggest tolerance for fear and while it’s great to learn from others, it is important to be conscious of the miracle of our own self.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes your plans come from a more limited consciousness, sometimes your plans can be ego-based or based on your expectations that you have gathered throughout life. Having that level of consciousness isn’t great, it is sleepy and you don’t want your life trajectory to come from that. When you live in the moment and you say yes to doing new things when it feels right, you will achieve better results. When we do things that scares us, that expands us out of our comfort zone. Fear and your comfort zone don’t go together, do things that scare you. The goal is not to achieve something new, it is to do something that scares you, when we train ourselves to do scary things then we can do the scary stuff much more easily when it counts the most. Having a purpose is a feeling, it is a sense of fulfilment. Having a purpose and being fulfilled is something that money can’t buy, status can’t give you and that nobody can give to you, you earn it by typically doing something that scares you that feels meaningful and purposeful. Usually, people don’t find their purpose within their comfort zone. The thought process that “money is bad” is the unspiritual part of the spiritual world, from there once we clear that blockage, then you can be authentic with money. Some people think if they’re following the path of their heart and spirit they are going to be earning millions.  The true warrior in life, business and creativity isn't the one without fear, the true warrior is someone who does things that scare them and someone who has the biggest tolerance for fear. A disruptive entrepreneur is someone who is incredibly in touch with their intuition, their heart and their internal personal power. Which they then go about expressing in the world, as opposed to a mimicking entrepreneur. We want to learn from others, but we also want to be conscious of the miracle of our own self.   BEST MOMENTS “Do something that scares you that simultaneously feels purposeful.”   “I’ve got a purpose statement, a mission statement which is intellectual words and something that is meaningful, the true purpose is beyond the mental concept, it is a feeling.”   “I don’t think we need to let go of fear, we need to let go of avoiding fear.”   “When I see people getting angry at me, for supporting Black Lives Matter that strengthens me.”   ABOUT THE GUEST JP Sears is an American life coach and internet comedian. He is known for his satirical parodying of veganism, gluten-free fads, new age beliefs, social justice warriors and other "modern hippy" topics with his video series Ultra Spiritual. He is the author of the satirical book How to Be Ultra Spiritual: 12-1/2 Steps to Spiritual Superiority.

Caffeine Cast: The Time Management LIE (& What it Really: 3 Things) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: The Time Management LIE (& What it Really: 3 Things) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

If you often find yourself wondering where the hours of the day went, and wish to get better at managing your time, then don’t miss today’s episode as Rob discusses the three areas of time management many people overlook. Learn how to prioritise your key result areas and income-generating tasks, how to manage your energy so that you do not often find yourself unmotivated or distracted as well as learning to analyse your daily cycle of emotions, and cut yourself loose from external distractions which could be filling your head with overwhelming noise and distraction.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Time management area number one is ‘what are you prioritising?’ if you are prioritising admin and low-value tasks and other peoples emergencies then you are wasting time. If you are prioritising your highest value area, your key result areas and your income-generating tasks, then you are managing your time you have well.    Energy is huge. You can have a key life area and a high-value task on your to-do list, but if you are feeling emotional, tired and distracted you will fight that all day and with each task that you are doing, whether it is a high priority or not.    If you are emotional, or volatile with your emotions and often get overwhelmed causing you to become drained, then your time is going to be distracted and wasted. It is wise to know how you feel in your daily cycle learning about the times of the day you have more energy than other parts of the day.   Knowing your values and knowing your key result areas in your career that will bring you the highest value and focusing on the most of the time, will energise you because it is important to you and will have a self-fulfilling prophecy of getting more done. Once you have completed your tasks you will get a compounding energetic effect.   Having your mind consumed with ranges of different emotions can affect your productivity levels. How much time is occupied in your head? If there are several hours a day consumed with negative emotions and distractions with external situations, that will, in turn, obliterate the hours in your day.  BEST MOMENTS “Time management is a big myth, you can’t manage time you can only manage yourself.”   “ You can only do one thing well, now. It doesn’t actually matter what you’ve got next and tomorrow because that is not real until it’s now and you can only do one thing now”   “There is only really one thing we should talk about with time management and that is how much noise is in your head?”   [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: Why Imposter Syndrome Does NOT Exist (& What You Really Are) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Why Imposter Syndrome Does NOT Exist (& What You Really Are) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Do you ever feel like you’re not as good as others in your industry? Or you think you won’t succeed at something, so why bother? Today Rob discusses imposter syndrome and everything that it isn’t. Rob explains the detriments of labelling your inner fears as an imposter and how this can cause them to become your reality, how comparing yourself to industry leaders when you are just a beginner will create self-doubt and why nobody is better at being you than you.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  We need to be careful of these labels that we put on ourselves because we can end up manifesting a reality that isn’t a reality, it is a fear which then becomes a reality. Imposter syndrome is where you are your own worst critic, you put yourself down and constantly tell yourself you can’t do something or that others are better than you.    Starting something new, or being a beginner at something should be one of the most exciting times. When you start your business or are beginning to scale, be clear on who your ideal client or demographic is.    You can always train, coach inspire and mentor and create products and services for people who are not quite yet at your level. You only need to be a level or two above them. When you compare yourself to people that have been in the industry many years more than you, you then feel insignificant and that is where you get your imposter syndrome.    Learn that it is okay to say “I don’t know” and learn to say that you cannot offer a service that a client requires. When you learn to embrace these things, then you give yourself permission to be yourself. To say you have imposter syndrome is to say you are not comfortable being yourself.    The reason it is impossible to be an imposter to yourself is that nobody is better at being you than you. Flaws, failing and all you are the best version of being you. All imposter syndrome feeling is, is useful feedback for you to check-in that you are being yourself in your product or service and ensuring that you are being true to yourself.    BEST MOMENTS “Don’t label it imposter syndrome, simply just say that you are new on your journey.”   “Who says you shouldn’t do something? If you want to start a new passion or profession and you have a message you want to get out to the masses, by saying you can’t do it that is like saying nobody can be a beginner, that nobody has the right to start.”   “Surely, what we are all searching for in life is to be comfortable with ourselves.”   [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.
