Joe De Sena: Spartan Race CEO, Built The Biggest Brand in Obstacle Racing [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Are the things we do really that hard? What would you do if you knew you were going to fail anyway? These are just some of the questions today’s interviewee, the multi-millionaire founder of Spartan & Death Race, Joe DeSena asked himself when growing the worlds leading obstacle race. Today it’s easier than ever before to start, grow and scale a business if you know what you’re doing and you’re passionate about you will succeed you just need to find your ‘True North”. Discover the success behind Spartan Race, what it takes to merge your passion and profession and the business lessons learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Spartan is in 45 countries running over 275 events with 1.3million people taking part each year and over 6.5million completing a race since we started. The business makes revenue from merchandise, revenue, sponsorship and nutrition. However, the big hole in our business is training, a Spartan gym or physical training course so we’re looking to work with partners to launch this. “We invented hard when it comes to modern-day events sp we went back to basics and threw the hammer down and really showed people what hard is but the race is more than just a race, it’s hard but everyone that completed it transformed their lives. In life, you only meet yourself when your backs against the wall and in a strenuous situation you find out what you’re made of.” Most people are waiting for their purpose to find them but you need to be active and moving in order to find your purpose and make it your profession. If you’re moving and get things done you will bump into things and opportunities will happen and you’ll discover that changing people’s lives and help people out is much more valuable than money. True North is finding that thing that’s going to pull you through life and this can change. In the beginning, your True North could be money but for myself and Spartan now my True North is changing people’s lives and now I’m actually trying to measure my business’s success by how many lives we change. As long as you’re putting yourself in the right location over and over again you’ll make your own luck and to the untrained eye, it looks like you’re just lucky. However, with Spartan I wasn’t actually looking for a new business I just wanted to put on a race but I ran it into debt and I realised that the entrepreneurs that succeed are the ones that have no choice, their backs against the wall and they need to make a change. If you’re looking to start a business don’t get distracted, If you’re going to do something do it, don’t only offer your new venture 10% of your time because if you do that you deserve to lose money. Additionally, you need to gain the right knowledge and you need to know how to hustle in order to be creative. Business Lessons Always be on time. Make yourself invaluable as a service provider and go above and beyond. Never have your hand out asking for money, if you do a good job the money will find you. Make your customers your best friends. Be authentic and be passionate about your business. Have a great name.

Rant: Is Anything Really Fair? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
So many people say this isn't fair, that's not fair, it's not fair but fairness is based on merit. Do something about it.

When Fitness & Business Collide: An Experimental Episode [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Bodybuilding Coach, Entrepreneur, Mentor & Best Selling Author, Phil Graham Do you want to be inspired to achieve your goals and dreams, overcome adversity and build a successful business turning your passion into your profession? In today’s episode Rob interviews, bodybuilding coach, entrepreneur, mentor and best selling author of diabetic muscle and fitness guide, Phil Graham. Rob and Phil discuss what it takes to be successful in business and in life, how to overcome objections and build communities that help and serve the public. Tune in and listen to Phil share his life story, things he could control, lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and what it took for him to build a successful business and allow him to live longer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wealth and business side of personal training - Its a really dense market, more people overweight therefore a large demand for the service. People who go to the gym and fall in love with it often decide they want to create a business for it. The big difference between passion and creating a business. Many people are good at the technical aspects but not on the business side of things. So many personal trainers become overwhelmed with the business aspect as they don’t have a vision for the future and focus on week to week and exchanging time for money. Phil was then inspired to write a book called the diabetic muscle fitness guide which is the world’s best selling book on diabetes and muscle building. Created a large society of people with diabetes who wanted to train and build muscle. Many young entrepreneurs think of the financial goals when it comes to business but take not consideration into their own long term vision. Master areas by learning. Phil had a plan and was methodical in his thinking and he learned that to become accountable, sometimes the action has to be a little bit blind. Many entrepreneurs become scared to let their businesses go for fear of it messing up, someone once said to him, “you cannot lead an inspiring life if you do not delegate” many people fail as they feel that their losing money by delegating or that it won’t be done to their standards. The importance of having strong relationships outside of work, He and his wife are supporting each other by having a ‘huddle’ each morning to discuss outcomes for the day and expectations from each other in terms of their needs, and end the day with finding out their learnings from the day. A powerful quote that stood out “your thoughts are not reality, the reality is not your thoughts” in triggering moments, it is easy to ignore and perhaps look at social media as escapism. When he finds himself in triggering moments, the first thing he does is to say an affirmation to himself and ask what is this teaching you? What can you control and what can you not control? Have good internal frameworks and questioning to get yourself out of the emotional state, when you’re really emotional the intelligence is low. BEST MOMENTS “I’m a big believer in asking himself questions at the end of the day, how did the day go, what did you learn?” “Successful people I’ve met, they take action and they ask for help.” “I needed a kick in the ass to get into shape” “With new-found knowledge I was able to build a great physique and found a love for bodybuilding, won many shows whilst competing and found happiness” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.phil-graham.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Diabetic-Muscle-Fitness-Guide/dp/0995762201 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: The Most Powerful Way to Build Cashflow [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Building online communities is one of the most effective things now days to help build a successful business. People like to be in groups and clubs who share the same interests. In this episode Rob explains the importance of staying of new opportunities with the ever evolving technology. He also covers why building communities is a great way of selling. KEY TAKEAWAYS You could have all of your target market, audience and potential JV partners in one community that you’re the leader of. Often when you’re selling it’s one to one however if your build a community you can sell to a large group of people who are already interested in what you’re selling. Having a community can also mean that there’s less pressure on you as the owner to provide all of the content, do all of the admin, do the prospecting and lead generation because other people can do this. Getting likeminded people together is very special because it’s so powerful. It can be a movement and revolution provided you have a clear set of guidelines and rules that everyone must follow. You serve to sell rather than sell to sell when you have a community which Rob prefers as there’s less friction when selling. Email marketing has got a lot less popular, and with all of the new GDPR rules, a lot harder. So if you have a community then you’ve got something that is a lot warmer where you can communicate to people. The ever evolving technology and platforms means that you have a new fresh opportunity to be the first of something. You can use multiple platforms to create your community too.

Rant: A 'NO BS' View on Criticism [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Instead of hating the critics, the trolls, the haters and the naysayers, love them! Yes, they can get into your nerves and trigger you to lash out—which can lead to the destruction of your reputation—but you should start appreciating their existence more. If you can get way past through the emotional downpour its causing, such criticisms can be really good for you. They can be great key points to look (or not look at) if you want improvement in yourself and in your business. Rob discusses more about the good and the bad of criticism for entrepreneurs, in the most NO BS way, in this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, so tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Learn how to manage criticisms that you receive. If you’re too hostile with everything that’s being thrown at you, then you leave no room for improvement. People have different approaches on how they tackle an idea presented to them. Some are just sceptical, some just know that there’s more that you can offer, and some just want to see your bad side first before even trusting you. How you take these feedback and reactions is what will mark with them. Don’t get triggered. Don’t lash out. Don’t react primarily with your emotions. BEST MOMENTS “Criticism helps you grow; criticism helps you be introspective and check on your values.” “A troll is someone with a fake profile.” [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.

Marc Randolph: CEO of Netflix, Co-Founder & Serial Entrepreneur [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
There’s no such thing as a good idea. It’s in the process of discovering why it’s a bad idea that you realise what might work and you begin to experiment. In today’s episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur Rob interviews serial tech entrepreneur, advisor, speaker, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Marc Randolph. In this insightful interview, Marc shares the untold story of Netflix, the mindset needed to cultivate ideas into companies and how you too can take action and start your own entrepreneurial journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS How was the idea for Netflix born? - In 1997 when I was my company was acquired I was left with about 6 months to invest myself into starting a new company and Reed Hastings was the angel investor and we began brainstorming ideas. We had hundreds of ideas and finally landed a DVD by mail business. Usually, a good idea is indistinguishable from a good idea until you do the research. We had to come up with a new model to attract and acquire customers. No due date and no late fees had never really been done before. But we were terrified that Blockbuster would move online, if they had, they would have crushed us. They were a 6 billion dollar business, now a lot of success is down to the skill of the entrepreneur, but it’s also down to the lucky breaks and Netflix certainly had a lot of lucky breaks. ‘That will never work’ book by Marc Randolph - was originally supposed to be called ‘nobody knows anything’ inspired by a quote about Hollywood and that face none knows the success of something before it’s launched and this is very much true about start-ups and for Netflix. The title ‘That will never work’ is born from the idea that often people with ideas do not pursue them because of the opinions of others but in reality, none knows, you will only know if you try it and find out for yourself. The book is really the untold story of Netflix and what it takes to start a company. Two steps to starting a successful company You need to have a propensity to take action - A lot of people with great ideas overcomplicate them in their head before starting and make it so complicated they cannot start. As an entrepreneur It’s not about how clever you are, it’s about creatively you can start as quickly and cheaply as possible. Focus and triage - It’s so powerful to put all of your efforts into a singular thing rather than trying to accomplish lots. However, at the same time, you need to have the intuition to know where to focus as it’s rarely the thing that screams the loudest. In the early stages of a company other two things matter, money and customers. A lot of entrepreneurs focus on the peripheral things that just do not matter in the beginning. How important is speed to growing a company - Speed doesn’t matter if you’re product or service isn’t right. Netflix was domestic for a very long time because we wanted to get our business model right and we saw a lot of competitors try to launch too quickly. However, learning quickly is very important. Do not waste time polishing things but be efficient and make sure you get it right. Being the first to market doesn’t count for anything if you have poor execution, it’s important to test and with today’s technology you can test your ideas much easier. How can you help people action their ideas - You need to train yourself to look for pain. Aim to seem the world as an imperfect place and all of a sudden you will have ideas flood to you. Ask yourself what’s frustrating, what would happen if? How could I try that? And to try it, but not in a scalable way just try it by testing the market. The ONLY way of figuring out if you have a good idea is to try it. You will only know when your idea collides with a consumer. What does Disruptive mean to you? - is a different way of doing things, it’s a dramatic departure from the norm. In the Netflix case, there was an established way of watching video in your home. We believe there was a better way of doing this. Many models in all businesses are being disrupted and you need to ensure you also disrupt yourself. BEST MOMENTS “A great idea is like finding the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle” “There’s no such thing as a good idea. It’s in the process of discovering why it’s a bad idea that you realise what might work and you begin to experiment” “There were a thousand different zigzags in the Netflix story” “When we thought of movie rental by mail we didn’t immediately write a business plan, we tested it first” “Netflix was not a pre-ordained success. In the beginning, it was a scrappy start-up. There were dozens of times we almost went out of business” “When companies are more established and mature they have more to lose and as a result, they play it safe, they often opt against new technologies and emerging markets.” “I almost never put my own money into a start-up because I’m putting my time in and that’s way more valuable” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES That will never work - Marc Randolph https://www.marcrandolph.com/about/ https://twitter.com/mbrandolph?lang=en 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.
