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.

Jim McColl OBE: Billionaire Investor & Scotlands Richest Man [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Jim McColl OBE: Billionaire Investor & Scotlands Richest Man [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How do you become successful? There’s no one size fits all formula, but there are some essential elements that you need to know about if you want to become successful. In today’ episode, Rob interviews Scottish billionaire and founder of Clyde Blowers Capital, Jim McColl OBE. Rob and Jim discuss what it takes to become successful, how to motivate yourself, how to educate yourself, how to have an unwavering self-belief and how to take risks. Tune in today to discover the insider secrets to entrepreneurial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Things you need to do for you to be successful. Everyone in life has his or her own needs, someone wants a big house, someone wants a nice car, someone wants to buy land or property, these are the things that drive us to work hard, but the extent of how hard you work depends on how much you want that thing. Have that belief that your ideas are achievable even when people think that your ideas are crazy. You must have self-belief because when people think that your ideas are crazy, you should know that they are big enough and you have to prove them wrong for not believing in your ideas and you have to prove yourself right that you have an achievable, big idea. Taking the first step in doing what you wanted to do is the most essential thing you can do in your business and personal life. Don’t just sit there and keep on saying that you have a business idea and you are not doing anything about it. Your idea could be the next big thing in future. Take the first step and do something about it, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. This is the key to becoming the next big entrepreneur. You should also have that hunger for education, be willing to learn so that you can acquire the knowledge to build a business and run it smoothly and scale-up. Be willing to learn from the best and from people who have achieved success in their lives and their business lives as well. Start your business and do as much homework as you can to mitigate the risk, understand the market, be the expert in the sector you're in, do as much as you can and learn the competition in the markets, the products they're looking for and then make the decision. Be a person that is always willing to take risks in everything that you do because you can never be an entrepreneur or you can never achieve anything if you are not a person that takes risks. Big opportunities always come with great risks. Taking risks gives you pressure, you become responsible for more and more people. You feel a responsibility for them as you grow and it gets to a point where it's not all about you anymore. If you do something crazy and it doesn't work, that's fine if it's just you that it impacts, but if you've got hundreds or thousands of people that would be damaged, that becomes a real burden. And that's what makes you lose sleep at night. Have a positive visualization and have a clear vision, a storyboard for where you're going. When you start your business, you need to have a plan of what you want it to achieve or where you want it to be in a certain amount of period. Having a plan helps you to stay focused on your goals all the time. For you to be successful in your personal life and your business life, you must be willing to sacrifice a lot of your time and be willing to put in hard work. You have to be willing to get tired. Choosing the right people to work with is also a key element to having a very successful business. BEST MOMENTS “The business that you're in is the best business to be in.” "Bonuses of doing better in your business, you get to meet some nice people and interesting people." "The need for something is what that drives you forward.” “If people do not think your ideas are crazy, then your ideas are not big enough.” “Sometimes the bigger risk is not doing something.” “Go big or go home.” "Awards should mean nothing because they don't change who you are." “Most people don’t want to see you being successful.”   ABOUT THE GUEST James Allan McColl OBE is a Scottish businessman and entrepreneur. He was born on 22 December 1951 (age 68 years) Carmunnock, Glasgow, United Kingdom. He is responsible for the development of Clyde Blowers. In 2007, he was placed tenth on the Sunday Times Rich List in Scotland. He is best known for Clyde Blowers Capital.

Caffeine Cast: 3 Unique Elements to Building a Success Brand (Personal & Business) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: 3 Unique Elements to Building a Success Brand (Personal & Business) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

There are three essential elements every entrepreneur must master in order to build a unique, disruptive, powerful business brand and in today’s episode Rob Moore shares and explains these three tried and tested elements to success. Miss this episode at your own risk. KEY TAKEAWAYS Three elements of building a unique, disruptive, powerful business brand. A full competitor analysis. Try to study your peers, the great artists of the time or even in history, don’t be driven by ego and saying that you want to be unique. Having an ego and saying that you know it all, you will miss out on some influence or some movements or some trends that are happening at the moment and this may lead to a very huge loss to you or your company. Copy the great or people who have achieved greatness in their lives if you have to because you will see great results in your business and personal life. If you want to build a great business, you're wise to learn from businesses that have gone before you that have blazed the trail, that has made mistakes, that have gained experience that are more resilient, they have more reach, more impact, they have wisdom and they have resources. The second element is to study external business models and sources and get your inspiration outside of your niche.Borrow influences in those external, non-niche business models and bring them into your business model. And what that does is that creates something that your competitors do not do. You borrow the best bits of your competitors, which is element one, but then you create an external, non-competitive marketplace, strategies, tactics, influences and creativity and that’s when you've got something unique. The third element then of creating a unique business and or brand is you and your uniqueness and your inspiration and your personality and your flavour. Who are you? Who are you naturally? How do you express yourself and who you are? Honour who you are. Honour what you've done. Honour what you know. Honour what's unique about you. Honour your strengths. Honour your weaknesses. Honour your flaws. Honour your own experiences. BEST MOMENTS “Good artists copy great artist’s steal.” “Be great by modelling the traits of the greats and modelling competitors.” “If you learn from everyone, even outside your niche, then you're even more unique.” “Learn from competitors, who you perceive screw people over, or you think do business badly or wrong, or learn from people whose values are completely different from you.” “If you've gone to the point where you have learned from your competitors, you've learned from slightly wider niche and you're learning from a completely different niche that you're inspired by, if you're at that level already, then now start studying people you think you didn't like.” “Don’t do what your competitors do badly, but model what they do well.” “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.” “Learn from everyone above you, elite, equal to you, below you, be an open-minded person.” [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: Who’s Creating the Real Fear & Panic (It’s Not The Media) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Who’s Creating the Real Fear & Panic (It’s Not The Media) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this episode Rob tackles the sensationalisation of the current pandemic of COVID-19 and how important it is to stay positive and productive during this time. If you have been feeling low about this urgent situation, tune in today for an uplifting view and ideas for what you can to do to thrive. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is very easy to blame the media in causing such panic and hysteria within the public in regard to Coronavirus. Much of the information is conflicting, however, it is argued that more panic has been created not by the media, but by social media. Many people use their social media platforms to voice their opinions, be careful not to take opinions as facts. It is vital that you inoculate yourself from distractions, opinions and bad energy. In this time it is about thinking to yourself what more can I do? And what more can I give? In regards to your business community, rather what less you can do. Take this opportunity to look at ways you can thrive and scale the current economical climate. You need to think about what helps you the best in this current situation. What is best for you, your family, your clients, followers, and fans. Whatever doesn’t help you, you should unfollow and ignore it. This situation could trigger recession and reduced asset values, but you have to look at it in a holistic and balanced fashion and not just a negative way. Look for the upside.   BEST MOMENTS “Some of the critics are out in droves. Criticising what you’re doing or what you’re not doing” “Everyone has an opinion, and that is okay” “Social media has created a far bigger storm than any other media”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

How to Reinvent Yourself [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How to Reinvent Yourself [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Have you ever wanted to reinvent yourself, embrace change and change your direction in life? Rob talks us through the best ways to evolve your mindset, progress in business and in life and disrupt and challenge yourself.  Working alongside renowned British businessman Gerald Ratner, famous for making one of the biggest gaffs in business history, Rob looks at the amazing way he has managed to reinvent himself, pivot into other industries and become a success again and again. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every challenge that you perceive to have a downside also has an upside. It may be easy to look at another person’s life and be able to see the downside and upsides, but the true wisdom is being able to do this in your own life. Embrace change. Many people fear change and have the need for control which can create a lot of tension. If you learn to embrace change and see it as a thing of evolution and progress then you can organically or dramatically reinvent yourself depending on your situation. Study trends. If you can get a sense of where the world is going, you can embrace a new media, market, and abilities to earn a living. Old dogs can learn new tricks. In reality, you can learn better when you get older, It’s just about your mindset. You need to be in the mindset that it doesn’t matter what age you are, you can always learn a new skill. Curiosity is about wanting to learn new things and being fascinated with the world and seeing new opportunities. That is the greatest open mindset for learning and development. Unlearning bad habits. Often we imagine that we know something, and we don’t. Let go of those bad habits that are causing continual mistakes or pushing people away from you. Disrupt yourself. Challenge your thinking and your strategies. Think about what you would change about yourself and your company looking from the outside in and apply these thoughts so that you can evolve and improve before your competition does. Continual testing. A testing mindset solves a lot of problems, it makes you a lot more risk-averse, brave and courageous. Have a life plan. With your business or career, split your time 70/30 between your main income and your second income. If you’re all in on one thing it will be difficult to evolve and reinvent yourself. Continually be uncomfortable. Allow yourself to become comfortably uncomfortable, whereby you are stepping out of your comfort zone, but it is not so scary that you are not likely to go through with it. Hang around with people from different walks of life. These may be people older than you, younger than you or people from different backgrounds with different beliefs. You can learn a lot from people and it can keep you challenging your own beliefs and helps you to reinvent yourself. What’s the future vision of who you are? If you don’t have a future vision for yourself, then you don’t know who you are going to reinvent yourself into and then you will be forced to reinvent yourself, often to someone else’s criteria. BEST MOMENTS “Look at the upside of the challenge and you may be able to get back in the game” “The older you get, the wiser you get” “There’s a gift and a lesson in everything, it is just being able to see it” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Having passion as a business is advantageous because you have that drive in you to go to work on your business. After all, it's what you love doing. Don’t focus your business on making money but on customer satisfaction. The greatest thing you can do in a business is focusing on making a product that satisfies the need of the customer. When you produce such a product, be sure that money will come your way because people will always want to buy your product and they will even refer someone to go buy your product. Focus on solving a problem that lots of people have. Focus on building a trusted brand.

Knowledge and skills. For you to have and run a successful business, you need to have the right knowledge and skills to run that particular business. Always have that hunger to educate yourself more on the business that you have because you will go far in your business with the right skills. Learn and understand people.The business will grow and run well when people or team or your employees feel that you are understanding them and treating them the way they want to be treated because they will work for you very well and be loyal to you and your business. Just do what you say you'll do, do it well and do it to the best of your ability. Understanding the market. Before you start your business or start producing something, you should know your market very well. You should do researchand know how long the market will last, how much is the demand for that product and how you can make that product to be better so that the market or the demand can increase and last for a lifetime. Start working on your business and stop waiting for the perfect time. There's no such thing as the perfect business model. The perfect business model is the one that works for you. Create a quality product.People will just pay more for something better. BEST MOMENTS “If you are meaningless to someone, then you'll be meaningless to everyone as well.” “The higher the high, the lower the low.” “Have five minutes or an hour or a day just to go out and enjoy yourself or have fun with your family after working on your business.” “Be happy with what you have because there's always going to be someone out there who's got more.” “Be happy with what you’re doing.” “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.” "If you're fairly a likeable character, you can get away with quite a lot. Personality takes you a long way." “If you can learn from other people's mistakes is far better than learning from your own.” “If you’re going to work hard, have something to show for it.” “You should not regret things you've done unless it is something fundamentally evil.” “Personal development is about learning from loads of people with lots of elements of success.” “If you know who you are, you never want to be anyone else.” "The best thing about having a brand, it is never finished." “You just got to be you.” ABOUT THE GUEST Alan Barrett is the co-founder and CEO of Grenade and is a disruptive entrepreneur.

RANT: I Got HATE Raising Money For a Life Saving Operation! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: I Got HATE Raising Money For a Life Saving Operation! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Social media is often used to do great things and recently Rob used his online community to raise money for his sister’s kidney operation, however, as it often does, the dark side of social media reared its ugly head and some hate comments were fired back at Rob. In today's podcast, Rob talks us through his experience with hateful and hurtful comments online and how to learn, grow and overcome them in the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Set up a Go Fund Me to help pay for a private operation on a kidney for his sister, she wanted to stand on her own two feet and raise the money herself rather than rely on her brother for the money, an admirable thing to do. She raised a few thousand pounds in a number of days, her target was fifteen thousand pounds. Rob reached out to his contacts and raised a significant amount of money in a day, meaning they reached the money needed for the operation in less than 24 hours. Rob then received hate from a gentleman wondering why he wouldn’t just pay for the operation himself. Even when you use your community for good and if you raise money for someone else, people will hate you. They were able to use social media for good, each and every person that donated were able to feel good about themselves and feel they have achieved something for a good cause. Hate culture, including criticising, trolling and nasty comments is a negative side of social media. Don’t let the negative side of social media affect who you are, you should continue to be yourself if you believe in something strongly you should try to gather support and get global reach. Look at the positive side of social media instead of the negative. The bigger you get, the more hate you may receive, people will hate you the thing that is great about you. What you're scared of will probably happen anyway so you need to overcome this. If you have a good message, product, and service you will minimise the hate, but it will always be there. BEST MOMENTS “She wanted to stand on her own two feet, something I completely respect, love and admire about her” “We got the money is less than a day” “Even if you help people and change people’s lives, you are going to get hate” “Put your message out to the masses” [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.

The VIRUS: How to Plan & Scale Through The Fear [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

The VIRUS: How to Plan & Scale Through The Fear [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Do you believe the Coronavirus is a media scare or a genuine case that we should worry about? This is the big question a lot of business owners are asking themselves at the moment because they don’t know whether to take action or not. In this episode, Rob explains how he reacts to situations like this and how he is dealing with this specific global crisis.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Years ago I would have had a different mindset towards this, I probably would’ve through it was just a media scare. However, now having a large business it will affect me quite a lot so I need to take things like this seriously. Don’t avoid the feeling of fear so you can know what to do, don’t panic, plan what you’re going to do and how you can do something to benefit you and your business to take advantage of this global situation. I’m planning online events so that people won't have to physically come along to my events, is there a way that you can have your business run from home or online? You have to plan for stuff you can’t plan for, you have to plan for the expected that you can be blindsided by. When you have a big overhead, lots of staff and a big business you can really get hit big time so it’s crucial that you feel the fear and prepare to act fast. Create a new product that you could sell to fit the situation or pivot your model so that you can benefit from it. Don’t believe everything in the media and don’t worry too much about stuff that you can’t control.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Taking it seriously is different from fear and panic’ ‘Feel the fear’ ‘Plan the worst, expect the best’ ‘Always have a plan for something you can’t plan for’   [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.

An Honest Discussion on Vegans, Fitness & Business With Phil Learney [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

An Honest Discussion on Vegans, Fitness & Business With Phil Learney [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Success does not come easy, you need to have a structured routine, the right mind-set to work and learn more and the ability to change your habits and adapt your behaviour. In today’s episode, fitness entrepreneur and gym consultant Phil interviews Rob on all things business, health, and fitness, how to overcome the battle between them and succeed in all areas in the end. KEY TAKEAWAYS Habits and behaviours change. What are the things that you've developed over the years have changed or what’s your routine? The main thing I've developed is a hunger for learning. This was due to a fear of rejection. You should never let your past hinder you from achieving success, always have the mind-set that you are also going to acquire success. Do not be jealous that other people are being successful and you are not, always work towards your goals and in the long run, success will come your way. That is a trait that you should develop in your business life and your personal life, don't be jealous or never hate successful Be an open-minded person and always be accepting feedback, whether they are good or bad because the more you learn to take feedback from people, the more you are learning. Feedback from someone may bea great idea for your business and personal life to thrive. There are things you don't agree with, there are things you'll challenge others, but whatever you want to do in your life, you can go and find it, you can go and ask for help. This is because you are also human too. Ways you can change your mind-set. One is a natural change over time. The natural progression of your life will create change. There's a desire to change, e.g. I want to be a better person, I want to grow, I want to improve or there's a hard event in your life which shocks you. Someone gets murdered, you lose a family member for me and you just question everything. Try and control the change in terms of mind-set by wanting to learn, wanting to be better, wanting to educate yourself, being curious all the time, being interested in people, being resourceful. All those states of mind are ones that help you grow, that help you develop, don't just change every 10 years because life takes you that way or just wait until something very bad happens. In terms of routines, learn something every day, meet interesting people, do podcasts if you can, listen to audiobooks or listen to podcasts, get involved in great conversations and have good mentors. Have a set structure of your routine and don’t let anything alter you from getting what it is that you had set to achieve that day. Stage one of creating your ideal routine is what works for you. What kind of body type are you in? Somebody gets up early or somebody works well late at night. How much sleep do you need? Figure all that out and then create sort of an ideal routine. You got to think about what's right for your clients, what's right for your family and then you create the structure, which works. You should look forward to having a personal trainer in your business or personal life because once you have that, you then have accountability and thus you can follow your routine very well. Do not fear hiringthem because you think that you will waste a lot of money on them, think in a more positive way that you will achieve your goals set in that routine. If you’re teaching stuff and people aren't going out there and almost replicating, telling people what you've taught them, you should know you’re not doing my job very well. People should try to copy you and that’s when you know you’re successful. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Try and learn from everyone. BEST MOMENTS “Ego is a lot of fear and insecurity.” “Be a master of your destiny.” “When you work for someone, what you desire the most probably is freedom.” “Discipline equals freedom.” “Certain amount of routine equals freedom.” “It doesn't matter what my routine looks like, what matters is what is the ideal routine for you?” “We all need accountability because the easiest person to lie to is you.” “If you let go of a lower-paying client, you create space for a high paying client.” “The more expensive something is, typically the better it is.” “If you don't ask the right questions, you're not going to find out the truth.” “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.” “Learning is learning something you didn't know. Learning is having feedback and having you evaluate what you do and how you do it to make you want to think differently.” ABOUT THE GUEST Phil has been a prominent figure in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years. In this time he’s established and built a reputation based around his intelligent, observational and results-based coaching and conducted in excess of 30,000 one-on one client sessions.
