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

It’s difficult to find the right person to fill in a job. It’s a needle in a haystack.  So, in today’s episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob shares with you tips so we can make the hiring process easy and as smooth.  He gives us the 4 areas we need to look at during the process.   From posting your job ad to doing the interviews to signing the contracts, you must be keen and observant as the person you’re looking for is someone who’ll play a role in advancing your business.  You’ll also have to be wary of the red flags when you’re in the search for the best candidate. An aspirant will always seem very knowledgeable and impressive during the process, so look into ways how you really can filter who fits with your company’s values, missions, work culture, and objectives.  Start tuning in to know more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  4 Areas You Need to Look at During Employment:  Post a compelling job ad: Be clear on what you are and what you want so you can attract the right people for your company.   Make your job descriptions interesting. Stay away from putting out a full 2-page list off tasks. They won’t like that. Instead, lay out your visions, values, benefits, KRAs, and then the overview of tasks.  Read their CV. Scrutinize. How was his/her career growth for the last years? Do they fit the job? Check out their references.  Do the interview. People will know what to say just to impress you. They’ve researched and will give you general answers to what you want to hear. The best thing to do is to ask the right questions and be specific.   Where to find them? Recruitment agencies, outsourcing sites, referrals, and even social media.   Don’t hire entrepreneurs or a version of yourself. Hire for the role. Base your judgment on what you really need to ensure high performance and growth.  BEST MOMENTS  “Employment is a bit of a trial and error and a bit of a lottery.”  “What you want with your job ad is to sell the right people in and push the wrong people away.”  “Finding great people and retaining them will be huge in your business.”  [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.

Stop with the self-loathing. Nothing can be done and achieved if we stay in this rathole full of our own doubts, feats and insecurities. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, let Rob help you uplift your spirits and be more confident about yourself. Learn some simple steps that you can follow so you can start liking and loving yourself more. Always remember that you’re worthy, unique, and bound for greatness. Challenges and failures are going to be part of your journey. Don’t get bothered by the setbacks. Instead, accept that they happen, learn from them, and do everything to emerge victorious. KEY TAKEAWAYS Have a clear vision for what you want to be known by many and who you want to be. Rob writes the targets he wants to reach every six months. Take good care of yourself. When you’re too occupied on accomplishing your goals, we tend to impair our own health and well-being. Don’t let it happen since we need to release tension and recharge energy so we can do more. Forgive yourself and forgive others. Remember that you are unique. Believe and embrace what you see in yourself. Stop comparing yourself, your journey, and your desired success to others’. You can get inspiration ad motivation from your mentors, the well-known entrepreneurs and other people, but you can’t copy them. You are not them. Document your experiences and stories. Write it down on a journal, do a live video, or record and release it as a podcast. It’s therapeutic to release everything, and at the same time, you’re also producing content. Dare to dream. Start with something small then start achieving it. When you’ve achieved it, it’s time to plan your next goal. Master something. If you’re very good at one thing, that instantly add confidence on yourself. The emotions are not you. It’s normal that you feel; you’re a human being. 3 A – Acknowledge, Accept, and Act. Do selfless acts. Helping and supporting other people gives you so much fulfilment. Know the importance of sleep and exercise. Learn to say NO. Know what opportunities are you going to grab, and know what you’re going to reject. Make yourself happy. BEST MOMENTS “No one is perfect and we’re all going to fail frequently.” “Don’t go beat yourself up if you can’t live up to the expectations of who you want to be.” “You’re the one that suffers when you don’t forgive other people.” “Comparison is the thief of joy.” “You need to make yourself happy first.” [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.

Though a million may look like a lot, it’s achievable as long as you put in the time and effort. Don’t get terrified by the zeroes. Rob gives you the nine steps you’ll have to follow to become a millionaire before 30 in this episode of the Disruptors Podcast. Setting the target, planning carefully, and executing effectively can get you to the millionaire status that you want. To be a millionaire, you have to think and act like a millionaire. Discover more great tips when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Step 0: Define what a millionaire is. Millionaire – someone who has “net assets of a million or more.” Step 1: If you want to be a millionaire in your 30s, you got to start now. Set the goal. You can reach the millionaire status in 2-5 years, depending on how you are earning right now. Step 2: Keep you overhead lean. Live below your means. Automate your savings. Step 3: Know the amount of sales you have to make to reach a net worth over a million. If you want to be a millionaire, you need at least 5 million in sales. Step 4: Re-invest profits. Target the sales which can give you twice of what you need, so you can re-invest the rest. Step 5: Have a millionaire mentor. Learn from people who have the same journey and goal as yours. Leverage their mistakes and learn how they achieved their success. Step 6: Be great at marketing. Generate leads effectively as they are what bring you more sales. Understand what your customers’ needs and wants are.  Step 7: Leverage the internet. The internet is a great tool to scout for more resources, test your ideas, increase your sales, etc. Step 8: Create multiple income streams. An average millionaire has 3 income streams. But before you diversify, make sure your income flow is already stable in your first income stream. Step 9: Leverage tax breaks. Know what you can offset. You can find information about these on the HMRC website. BEST MOMENTS “Start now and have enough time.” “Set a goal of when you want a millionaire by.” “People think that they can just make the profit and draw it all.” “You become the people you spend the most time with.” “Leverage the internet to make a million as quickly as possible.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES HMRC UK 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.

In this conversation with Theo Paphitis, retail magnate and entrepreneur, Rob puts forward questions from his own community and followers. The discussion provides an illuminating insight into the life of an individual who is instantly recognisable as one of the Dragons from the Dragon’s Den business programme. Theo shares his experience of retail and how his journey and expertise have been shaped through his wide-ranging experiences, listen in now   KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you value a business? It’s very simple everyone values a business differently you have to take some of your own values into the valuation. My pound is worth the same as your pound but if I’ve got something more to give to the business then my £1 is worth more. When you have no money and no experience how do you get started? If you are bringing passion, enthusiasm and a good work ethic this could be enough to get attention. How can someone believe in themselves more to pitch their ideas, raise finance? If you lack the belief and confidence then you shouldn’t be doing it. When you are running your own business there are lots of challenging times and you need to draw on your inner strength, confidence and self-belief to be able to continue. If you haven’t got the basics your chances of success are even less What is the future of the high street, retail and how will it affect e-commerce? It's going to remain tough we are going through structural change in the way the consumer spends their money. The consumer is telling us as retailers that they want to interact in different ways. As retailers, we must respond and interact with those people in the way they want us to interact being led by technology. What does it take to be successful in business? It's not ever just one thing but you must have the drive, passion, ambition, the common sense that is not common, the resilience to get up when you are down, the will to succeed and also the ability to identify the right industry and the right business to enter in the first place. I started with nothing, worked hard, had some breaks and I'm now in the fortunate position of only investing in projects that really excite me.   BEST MOMENTS ‘A lifetime is all our lifetimes and we each have different experiences’ ‘As a retailer, you are going to be up to your elbows in muck and bullets for a good few years yet’ ‘The value of the physical is very much in the service’ ‘We had some incredible highs and lows and I wouldn’t change it for the world’ ‘Having a small business can be very lonely’ Theo Paphitis Instagram  Theo Paphitis Facebook Theo Paphitis Twitter Small Business Sunday(SBS) [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.

Everyone tells you to hustle and bustle, but there’s really no assurance it will bring you success. If nothing else, only weary from the repetitive routine is what you get. It’s time to work smart and to value your time. Being busy on the wrong things shows no work-life balance. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob shares how you can achieve work-life balance. There is no one-shoe-fits-all kind of arrangement that we can all based on. Every individual handles their time differently depending on their values and priorities. These values also change as we grow older, so it’s important to always re-evaluate. Learn more great tips today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Achieving work-life balance depends on your focus and your priorities. For those who are in their 20s, they have more free time for everything they want. But for people are in their 40s who already have a family, a lot of their time goes to their family and less time for leisure. Work out on what your three highest values are. Figuring out how to achieve work-life balance depends on those three. Having a balanced family dynamic also plays a role. When you know what you and your partner want and work for, it’s easier to make plans and decisions. Your values don’t have to be of same level. As long as you have both deep understanding on how it will be, you’re all set. Compartmentalise your diary/planner when scheduling. Focus on KRAs and income-generating tasks. Then, leverage tasks that aren’t that important and can be done more effectively by someone. This gives you more time for rest and leisure activities. BEST MOMENTS “Where your focus goes, your energy flows, and results show.” “It’s wise to sit down with your partner and work out what each of your 3 highest values are.” “Having this work-life balance is about doing the meaningful things of highest priority, maybe highest income generation, to make you feel alive and fulfilled.” “It’s not about multi-tasking. It’s not about doing a million things. It’s not about trying to do everything. It’s about doing the 3 high priorities and outsourcing everything else.” [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 do you go from the Special Forces to being a TV Star and Author? Ollie Ollerton has done just that, transitioning from being a soldier to a civilian running a successful business, writing books and starring in a TV show. In this fascinating interview, Rob speaks with Ollie about his transition from the military to civilian life, how his TV breakthrough came about and why creating a new blueprint for yourself is the most important thing you can do to change your life. If you’re wanting to learn how to get out of your comfort zone and change your blueprint, this will be an important listen for you.    KEY TAKEAWAYS What is the downward spiral? Often in the military, you take for granted the things that you get behind the wire, in that institution. That you have comradery, you have a massive sense of purpose, and that support network. That isn’t a given on the outside. I would drink more when I left the military and began on a downward slope. Layers and layers were peeled away. I was on a destructive path. I think looking back I was chasing death.    Are you able to use that challenge of authority in a positive way? Everything I try and do now is unconventional, I make my own path in everything I do. I think you should always try to look at different ways to do things.     How did you reinvent yourself from the military to the TV and writing books? It’s been a long process. I’ve done it the hardest way round. I left the military in 2000, and I left because it wasn’t defining my purpose anymore. A lot of people are willing to stay in that perceived comfort zone but there is no growth there. Sometimes you have to make a decision to have short term pain for long term gain. You have to go through the obstacles but when it's consistent you have to think about what change you can make.    Why did you join the military? The whole thing excited me. It gave me an extreme purpose. However, my perception was not reality. That’s why I kept stepping up. There was never a satisfaction there in the army which meant I needed a change. After the Army initially I worked in Iraq looking after journalists, and we did a large scale infrastructure like mobile phone network.     I used to get home and I couldn’t wait to get back to Baghdad. But then when you get to civilian life you can’t handle the small stuff. The more people that are in sheltered society you become micromanagers the small things in life. I hated it.      How did you land your TV story? I’d moved over to Australia, and I was commuting from there to Bagdad every six weeks. I always wanted to get into a real job, I tried to get into real estate. I went to South East Asia where we were helping children out of slavery. Everything was telling me that I needed to change. I said that I’d never go back to the UK but then I started to open the gates to that opportunity it all started making sense again. I came back to start my company BreakPoint.     I had the vision to incorporate some of the things I learned in the military into the corporate sector. BreakPoint works to change the way we think. You think about changing, a lot of people believe that it’s all about mindset. We do workshops on theory, and then a lot of practical work where we apply pressure to scenarios. We teach processes so our participants learn how to understand the pressure.    How do you go from a negative to a positive mindset? After school, you’re left with this programming from school. I think you have to change the blueprint in your mind. I wrote a contract to myself with a date for when I was going to change. I read it out in the mirror to myself.     How do you try and manage your own ego? The selection process for Special Forces finds people who are emotional chameleons. I know how to cut it off when I observe the ego taking over in myself. Unless you know that process it becomes a problem. Special Forces soldiers have that ability to control their emotions, and especially when it comes to my ego and cut that off.     There were a lot more suitable candidates for the TV show. We were the first guys who were to be not pixelated and our faces were on TV. There weren’t other people who wanted to be shown on TV. I needed exposure for my company. It was a dream.     What does the word disruptive mean to you? A pioneer, not following the traditions and the norms in everything that you do. Growth is not a linear path.     BEST MOMENTS ‘Good health is important for your mind.’  ‘I lacked the purpose of leaving the military.’  ‘A lot can happen to a veteran in a few months.’  ‘I had a lot of negative thoughts.’  ‘I was chasing death.’  ‘I question the status quo in everything.’  ‘Short term pain for long term pain.’  ‘In the army, you think you're invincible.’  ‘There wasn’t any insurance.’  ‘You’re drawn in by the cash.’  ‘Money should always be the byproduct of your passion.’  ‘I’ve always tried to redefine myself.’  ‘I always want to do a ‘real’ job.’  ‘We take people out of their comfort zones.’  ‘You don’t get the opportunity to preplan so they base on raw emotion.’  ‘You can never build comradery with ego.’  ‘You can’t change a mindset without changing the blueprint.’  ‘Process is so important.’  ‘I’m an observer of my emotions not a victim.’  ‘Those closest to us we listen to the most.’  ‘I become a vegan for 12 months just to see what it was like.’  ‘You need a purpose for everything.’  [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.

Rob discusses why having a mentor and asking for help is so important when growing yourself and taking yourself or your business to the next level. It’s important to have support especially when you’re supporting others because supporting others can often drain your time and energy. Listen to this episode to find out how you can take yourself to your next level quicker…    KEY TAKEAWAYS  A lot of people say you should learn from your mistakes which is common sense. But it’s not 'uncommon sense', i.e. contrarian common sense. So don’t learn from your mistakes, learn from others.   We all make mistakes, I still do, however, I would make way more if it wasn’t for my wise counsel, mentors, good peer group etc…  If you get offered a decent amount of money for your company in a recession, then you should seriously consider the offer because you don’t know what will happen a few years later down the line. Don’t be greedy.  If you want to go to your next level, then YOU can only get YOURSELF there as quickly as you can figure it out, without having the knowledge of being there. It’s going to take a longer time than learning from someone who’s already been there because they’ve already figured it out.  You need someone to support you especially when you support others. Supporting others can leave you feeling drained and empty so you need someone to someone to support you.  A really really strong peer group is important, don’t suffer alone.   People are often top busy to support you so a benefit of having paid for support such as a mentor is that they are held accountable to you.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘Don’t learn from your mistakes, learn from others’  ‘Talk to people who have gone through the process.’  ‘Leverage the experience, time, mistakes and investments of others.’  ‘If you can’t get below market value, you have to add value or change the use.’  ‘To know and not to do is not to know.’  ‘One of the greatest strengths of successful people is to ask for help.'     [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.
