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

People often perceive people screwing them over in the wrong way especially when people become competitors. If you hold people back from becoming your competitor then you’re never going to be able to train other people to run your business so you can scale up. In this episode Rob explains 7 things you can do to retain people and reduce the number of people who will screw you over. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand the values of your team and give them things that will motivate them using your knowledge of their values. E.g. allowing them to leave early to pick up their kids. Find this out by simply asking them what is most important to them in their life. Meet their individual employment/partnership needs, everyone’s will be different. E.g. some people want to learn as they earn. Find out what each member of your teams is and help them to get that. Have a strong vision so people stay motivated and everyone has an end goal. It also gives people a reason to do what they’re doing, giving them a why. This can help to make your team feel like they are all well connected. PROGRESSION, RECOGNITION and AUTOMANY. What’s the next step for your team members? Give them the recognition publically and privately for their achievements. No one wants to be micromanaged so let them do what they need to do in their own way. Find great people, give them slightly too much to do then get out of their way to go do it. Have a good contract so all bases are covered and there is no lack of clarity. Train your team to the best as you can and if they do choose to leave and become competition, don’t stay angry at them even though it can be very annoying. Don’t burn your bridges with them as you could then have the credibility that you trained them. Help your team enjoy what they do. If people enjoy being around you, being part of your team and coming into work then they’re going to stay for longer. They do say that when the fun stops, stop. So don’t stop the fun. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to let go to grow’ ‘If you don’t train your staff to be the best, your business will never be the best.’ ‘Recognition goes a long way.’ ‘Why have a dog and bark yourself?’ [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.

Let’s be honest everyone needs to overcome some laziness in life and get uncomfortable to be successful. But how do you do it? Today, Rob shares with you 10 key lessons for overcoming the trap of laziness and comfort in easy-to-follow steps. If you struggle with motivation and find it hard to get out of your comfort zone and get things done, this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get accountability from external sources - Seek advice from mentors, coaches or friends to give you some cold hard truth. Look for peer groups and masterminds to give you accountability and to help you to achieve your goals. Find communities and seek advice and then you will get out of your comfort zone and move towards your goals and dreams. It’s not bad enough yet? - Sometimes you’re stuck in a limbo where you’re a situation that’s comfortable and enables you to be lazy. But here’s the thing humans are resourceful and incredible when their backs up against the wall and they need to produce results. Attempt to get that edge back, the edge that pushes you forward and helps you do amazing things. But don’t expect things to turn around right away change your mindset and see the compounding effects. If you don’t risk anything you risk everything - The enemy of success is risk and the enemy of greatness is comfort and laziness. You need to begin to take some risks and put yourself out there. Make yourself vulnerable and don’t be scared to become the student again. Create some fear - You cannot sit and wait and get comfortable waiting for tomorrow. You need to create some fear and accountability that scares you and forces you to take action. Give yourself an ultimatum and change your mindset. Try new stuff - Test and make mistakes, learn from what you do and become more experimental. Aim to test, review, tweak, repeat and scale. If you don’t see what’s out there you might not discover what’s out there and what you’re passionate about. Don’t get too uncomfortable - Aim to be progressively uncomfortable not aggressively uncomfortable. If you get too uncomfortable you could emotionally harm your future, the aim is to be uncomfortable so you force yourself to try new things. Try putting yourself in incremental steps of un-comfort to ease yourself out of your comfort zone and into new skills and expertise. Outsource - Aim to have a VA or a PA and outsource some work. Leverage the skills of others to get more done in less. Look for joint-ventures and partnerships to grow your business using the best people in the right places. You don’t always have to do everything yourself. Be honest with what you’re scared of - We’re all scared of something and that’s a big reason why we’re lazy, Whether it’s shame, ego, failure or other peoples judgement you need to overcome them, embrace them and realise that these emotions are simply human. Ask for help - Sometimes it’s as simple as asking someone to help. When you’re lazy and comfortable sometimes you just need a helping hand to get out of your situation and to push you onto a path towards your goals and dreams. Find the right routine - Create a new routine that is disciplined and makes you accountable. You need to isolate yourself from distractions, turn off social media and stick to a routine that helps you get 5-10 times more done in the same amount of time. Focus on the tasks you’re passionate about, your income generating tasks and look to outsource where you can.   BEST MOMENTS “Who is the easiest person to lie to?” “Free advice is worth every penny” “We’re designed to survive” “Every master was once a disaster” “Every winner was once a beginner” “Build layers of comfort and strength” [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.

Put more goodwill into the world - Share what you learn and what you do, you don’t have to be producing too much content, you can simply share with your audience what you do, how you do it and the results of your actions. Treat your social media as a diary and share the experiences you have and the lessons you learn. Full immersion/obsession - In the first few months of your business venture aim to immerse yourself in your industry and in your niche.

Whether your an entrepreneur or employee building your business you need to understand the value of a good workplace culture, how to disrupt internally and how to become a leader. Today, Rob gets interviewed by the host of the Lead with Levity podcast for progressive business leaders on the forefront of employee experience and workplace culture, Dr Heather Walker. Together they discuss the concept of levity with a business, bean bag culture vs corporate culture and why humanising the workplace and staying humble are essential to success and the growth of your business.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Manager Vs Leader  There is a huge difference between a manager and a leader. When you’re starting out your vision is everything and you don’t have to compromise, however when you begin to take on staff and create a culture your vision needs to involve them and include their careers and growth. This is essential to motivating staff and creating a positive workplace culture.     Leadership is inspiring those to follow you and join you on a journey.  Management is policies, onboarding, training documents, targets, sickness policies etc.    Three components of levity:  Amusement - Fun & enjoyment  Bouncy - A positive atmosphere  Edification - A constructive environment to work    How Is The Culture In Your Business?  We never wanted a corporate structure at Progressive, we wanted to be very flat with our layers of management, never have an organisational chart and push a bean bag culture. However, as you grow and you get bigger you do need a more corporate structure. Ultimately your businesses culture depends on the size of your business. What we did find out was once we put in one layer of management everything changed. We had to become more official.    We had a really great culture when we had around 7 or 8 people. We had a family culture, a chaotic approach and an open door policy. This can be met with friction from staff but ultimately you need systems and processes in order to grow and become a real business.    How Do You Keep Levity In Your Business As You Grow?  The key is having a core set of values that you live and breathe. You can still be a personal company as you grow and you become a bigger company. We created our values with our staff and together refined our culture and values and make sure that we look after our staff.    As an entrepreneur, you think that people work for you, but in reality no one works for you, ever. They work for themselves and you just happen to be paying them. They come to work to pay for their expenses and to facilitate their lifestyle. As an entreprneur, you need to realise that you work for your employees and when you do this you will create a good workplace culture.     If levity could change one thing in the world what would it be?  When people start their businesses they take themselves far too seriously. I believe you should take your work very seriously but yourself not too seriously. Love your art, love your mission, do the best you can but be a light individual and manage your emotions, simply try to have fun and be humble.  BEST MOMENTS  “The power of many of greater than the power of one”  “Success is better when it’s shared with someone else and failure is easier when you’re surrounded by people”  “Most of the success in my business has been through collaborations. I believe in growth through community and collaborations”  “I work for my team, they don’t work for me”  “I crowdsource ideas from meeting, my staff, surveys, communities and from simply knowing and talking with my staff”  “I want my team to come to work and enjoy being there, If someone enjoys being there they’ll be productive”  “All you need is a bit of humility and to listen to your staff and you will create a good workplace culture”  “As a leader, you need to humanise your business”  “Mark and I are terrible managers”  [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.

Learn – Test – Tweak – Review – Repeat This is Rob Moore’s 5-step model on how he gets things done. Easy to recite… but is it easy to follow? In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, he gives an in-depth explanation of how this works for entrepreneurs like him. It isn’t linear; it’s strategic and cyclical, in a good way. There will always be difficulties in every situation, and this model recognises this. It teaches you to be adaptable, resourceful, and calculated as you go along your journey. And, to make things easier (for you to take mental notes and apply them ASAP!), Rob made it more concise—discover today the 10 actionable ways on how to get things done. You can now listen to this, today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everything’s a test. And it’s not wise to test something without even learning it beforehand. Stop labelling what you’re doing with hefty words (i.e. life-changing), you’re less likely to do it. Don’t put TOO MUCH pressure on yourself. Get a mentor or be in a mastermind. Learning it on your own or as you go through your own process is not the best way to go. Why don’t you approach someone who has gone through the same path? At least, he’ll tell you what to do and not do. Be accountable. Stick with your deadlines so you can easily achieve your goal. Stop letting yourself and other people down. Embrace your fears. You can’t ignore or run from them. Fear is a good thing as it keeps you grounded along your pursuit. Always keep going despite its existence. Accept and collect rejection. Rejections are good motivators as they give us the most valuable lesson that we need to plan our next step. Put yourself out there. Build your online profile, attend events that could give you a chance to a network, and share your expertise. Compartmentalise and isolate. It’s easier to finish your tasks if you allow a certain time in your schedule and a certain place to do it with no delays and interruptions. Manage your energy well. Your high energy can help you excel in the important tasks, so learn how and where you want to use that energy. Reward yourself. BEST MOMENTS “To know what to do and not do is to not know.” “All learning and not doing is not ideal.” “Managing your energy is managing your 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.

No one makes you do, say or feel anything. You own of all of that and you are responsible for these things. In this episode, rob covers 9 useful tips on how you can deal with people who may be negative or are draining on your life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You cant control how or where someone delivers feedback so accept the way they’ve done it and learn from it. Peoples ability to take feedback even when it’s not delivered very well is emotional, business and life mastery. Maybe you’re a bit too optimistic and positive and need your feet kept on the ground. Recognise that sometimes other people being like this can balance you and keep you grounded. Even if someone’s in a bad mood, they can’t affect how you feel unless you give them permission to. Their suck of energy is less than your give of energy. Don’t let anyone put your fire out. Sometimes when someone’s a real drain with huge emotional baggage and constantly plays the victim them get rid of them out of your life or minimize your time with them. But be aware that there’s a difference between someone being negative and a critic. Annoy the critics and sceptics with your enthusiasm and positivity. You can let so much stuff go, you cant control anyone so let it go. It can be a real challenge of your own mindset to deal positively with negative energy. So it’s good to see it as abit of a test of your ability to keep your energy high. Don’t get sucked into all of these debates and things that will drain your energy. Sometimes when people are down and are a bit of a drain of life then, if you care enough about them enough, you can try to help them. Some people have a lot of bad things going on in their lives so it could be them trying to reach out to you.   BEST MOMENTS “Always look for the lesson in how people deliver feedback”   “Take away the way someone delivers their feedback.”   “Their mood can’t affect your mood without your permission.”   “The person with the best energy wins”   “Thank them then fu*k off” [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.
