Q&A With Billionaire David McCourt on The Secret to Wealth [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Q&A With Billionaire David McCourt on The Secret to Wealth [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob is joined by Irish-American entrepreneur and billionaire David McCourt. David answers audience questions on how he got to be where he is today and what he hopes to do in the future, discover what it takes to solve business problems, curate and create million-pound ideas and learn how to start, grow and scale your own business. Tune in today for this insightful interview with self-made billionaire David McCourt. KEY TAKEAWAYS Q. How do you change your thought process to help you come up with different ideas? A. [David]I do one thing consistently, which is when approaching a problem I put myself in the future and I am able to see that problem already solved, I then turn around and look backward and I build a plan to get me to where I already am.  It can be overwhelming looking at a huge problem, people say “how did you have such vision to solve the problem?” It really wasn’t that amazing at all, because when you put yourself in the future, it becomes crystal clear to you what it is going to look like and then you have to build a plan to get there. A. [Rob] I would say, be the person that disrupts you, rather than someone else. I am very much a big believer in disrupting yourself. I want to disrupt my own patterns, behaviors, and habits before my competitors do. I am always trying to imagine, if I was a competitor of mine, what weaknesses would I see? I then try and solve those before someone else does. I challenge myself to follow people I didn’t think that I liked, to learn from people that have very different beliefs from me, because that can challenge the way I look at something. Q. How and when do you scale? A. [David]I personally, have never thought about business as having a goal to reach a certain size. I approach business as trying to solve a problem that I find would be interesting to solve and that the world needs to solve and through doing that you can make money. I look at it more as a problem that people say ‘that cannot be solved’ whereas I say ‘it can be solved’.  I don’t initially think about the size of the business, but if it is a big problem that nobody else has been able to solve before, then by definition you will be able to scale it. A.[Rob] There were three commonalities over the wealthiest people. One of those was the desire to serve vast amounts of people. Don’t just have a plan or a goal but if you have a genuine desire to serve vast numbers of people, then you will connect the dots along the way and take the opportunities and partnerships. The second thing, a concept called the network effect. This is essentially a way to get to as many people on the planet as quickly as possible. Q.  Who were your main mentors when you started out on your journey? A.[David] I am the first to admit, I had a huge advantage number 1 I had an unbelievable mother and father, and I had a mother that constantly taught me that it was okay to fail, that constantly taught me that I would be something and that I would accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. Having someone that supports you in your life, gets you 80% of the way there. I have had different mentors at different stages, I was on board just after I finished college, and on that board was the first public millionaire in America. I had never met a millionaire before and he said something that was very interesting, he said: “you have to make what’s important in your life instinctive, there are certain things that you are not going to have time to process, that you have to be instinctive”. After that, there was a man named Walter Scott, who was like a father to me. He taught me that taking care of your downside is the most important thing in business and the upside will take care of itself. My third was probably Jack Welch, he taught me a lot. A. [Rob] Out of all the successful people I know, I am one of the youngest. This is because I have pushed myself to have mentors who are 60 and 70 years old. I love having these mentors because they have so much more wisdom and experience than me so now I seek out being the youngest in a networking group. Everything that David fortunately had, you can create. Q. Did you leave the ladder or are you continuously putting those ladders down for people? A.[David] There is nothing that gives me more pleasure, that putting the ladder down for someone else. It is really an ugly characteristic that some people have. Once they make their money they want to distance themselves from people so that others aren't able to have it. There is nothing more rewarding than putting the ladder down for the next person to climb upon. I have made a lot of money, given a lot of money away and lost a lot of money, and I can tell you for sure, the difference between the times I have had money and when I haven't,  there is no difference, if what you’re trying to do with your life is create something. Q.  What one world problem would you solve ? A. [David] If I could only solve one problem, I think if we can instill the sense of hope and dreams that America had 50 years ago back around the world, then we could solve all the problems. The America that I grew up in is a very different place than what it is today. That country of hope and dreams where anything is possible if we worked together is what could solve problems. The big ones are healthcare, housing, and education. The costs of these three are all growing faster than wages so by definition you can’t catch up. So if you’re growing up thinking that you will never be able to catch up, that is a terrible and dangerous place to be in. That is the world that we’re living in now, and that is the problem that we need to fix. A. [Rob] The first time I met David, he told me “The world's biggest problems are also the world's biggest business opportunities right now”. It is easy to look at people that are the champions of dramatic change globally and forget that we can make a difference ourselves. There became a point where I looked around and noticed members of staff and thought “they’ve all got jobs, they’re all paying their mortgages and they’re all receiving benefits” I think it is easy to forget the value you make as an entrepreneur, I think a company done in the right way is one of the best ways to create value. Q. Do you ever feel that you don’t know enough to get to where you want to be? How have you dealt with it? A. [David] I sometimes get a feeling, that time will run out before I accomplish everything that I want to accomplish. I worry about whether I have enough time to love all the people I want to love, meet all the people I want to meet and to go to all the places I want to go to. I worry about that every day, which is why I have to figure out a way to do it at scale. I don’t feel that I should be doing anything different than what I am doing or that I am wasting my life. Am I worried I don’t have enough time? Yes. Am I worried I am doing things wrong? No. I don’t have a fear of failure, because I am a happy, healthy guy so I am 99% of the way there anyway. BEST MOMENTS “Having someone that supports you in your life, gets you 80% of the way there.” “Everything that is important in your life has to be as instinctive as being able to pick up a pencil when you drop ii, and that will free up your brain to be able to process the new incoming things” “What's the worst that can happen? You could become a starving artist and you might like it!” “I was born curious and optimistic” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Caffeine Cast: How to Improve Yourself Constantly & Easily (LIVE) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: How to Improve Yourself Constantly & Easily (LIVE) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Tune in today as Rob Moore talks us through his self-development techniques and how you can apply them to your own personal growth journey. From choosing the right mentors to who to follow on your social media platforms, Rob describes the best ways of supporting your personal growth to enable you to become the best version of yourself on your entrepreneurial journey.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Some people do not believe in property training and believe you can learn everything using the internet or learning from making your own mistakes in the real world following the mantra “If you want something done properly do it yourself”, when a more realistic approach would be “If you want something done properly, give it to someone who is good at it”. Many individuals are trying to fix things that are broken, that we’re no good at fixing and as a result, end up breaking it even more.   Having mentors, coaches and therapists who are people to talk to, who do not judge so that you are able to have a cathartic exorcism of your inner demons, is vital.   Always seek out mentors or people that are one or two levels higher than you. The upside of having a paid mentor is accountability, and what you can demand of them.   Try to work out a time in the day where you feel less lethargic and make sure these are productive, such as listening to podcasts, working out or making phone calls. Getting more into the day is a brilliant way for self-development.   Follow all the top influencers, in the area that you want to develop. For example, if you wanted to get into something new, such as podcasting, building a new personal brand or promoting a new business, you’re wise to find as many influencers and experts as you can. You can do this by subscribing to their podcast, following them on Instagram etc.    Make yourself progressively uncomfortable is self-development. This would include, reaching out to people that are bigger players and risking getting rejected by bigger players, going to big events and being the least successful person in the room.   Watching documentaries on wildly successful, passionate, disruptive and unique people is inspiring.  Self-development is a lifelong pursuit, however there are some curses such as being overwhelmed. Be careful not to spread yourself too thin. Be smart enough to filter the information and do the one thing nobody else can do for you which is deciding what to implement into your own life.    BEST MOMENTS  “If you want something done properly, give it to someone who is good at it”  “Self-development is a lifelong pursuit”  “I think you go a mile wide, and an inch deep when you’re in research mode”   [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: How SELFISH Should You be in Business? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: How SELFISH Should You be in Business? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How Selfish Should You be in Business? The answer is not what you think, it depends where you’re at in your business journey. In the beginning, you need to more selfish and self-centred but to grow you need to be more selfless and focus on value, service, contribution and fair-exchange. In today’s insightful episode Rob shares with you his views on being fulfilled in business, being selfish to reach your goals, the growth in being selfless and finding a balance between the two. Jump in now to learn more. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you’re younger you’re probably more selfish and self-centred, but that’s okay. That’s the stage of life that you’re at. Your goals when you’re younger are more selfish and focused on yourself. However, you get to a point in business that you realise that if you only focus on your selfish goals, your company will not grow any more and you have to focus on value, service, contribution and fair-exchange. To begin in business you need to be selfish to get the thing going and get out of debt. But there does come a point where all people care about is how you can help them. If you want to create worth for the world, you need to have inner, strong self-worth. If your self-care is low and you’re not giving enough, you will resent your customers if you’re not earning enough income or receiving enough gratitude. Too self-less you’ll come from a place of emptiness, your self-worth will go down and you’ll come from a place of bitterness, resentment and envy and you’ll be caught in a vicious cycle. Too selfish and you’re not focused on value, service and contribution and the world will start to reject you. There will be service complaints, refund requests and you’ll start to get critics, trolls and hatters if you are too selfish. No one cares if you’re a billionaire if you’re not helping to change the world. Therefore you need to make your vision and mission self-less by helping others and you’ll be fulfilled The secret to business is value and what you give the world. Be selfless, give your time, mentorship and help and support. Give but not at the expense of you. Compartmentalise your diary to spent two to three hours a day I ringfence for contribution or value. This can be in the form of social media, consultancy calls, emails and anything you’re doing to help the world, without charging a fee for your services. Find the optimum time for contribution, charity and support and the optimum time for earning money, running your business and growing your audience. You should be equally balanced between selfish and selfless and more selfish in the beginning to fulfil your own needs to start your business and more self-less once you’ve become a little bit more successful. BEST MOMENTS “The secret to living is giving” “You cannot give what you do not have” “I found out in my thirties that there was more to life than just fulfilling my personal goals” “You cannot give from an empty cup” “Sometimes the best way to help others is to help yourself first” “If you’re already making lots of money but you’re unfulfilled it’s because you’re not giving enough” [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.

Glenn Jacobs: WWE Chokeslam Legend KANE Turned Mayor [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Glenn Jacobs: WWE Chokeslam Legend KANE Turned Mayor [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob is joined by wrestling champion turned Mayor of Knoxville County, UAS Glenn Jacobs, otherwise known as Kane. Glenn takes us through his epic 30-year career with WWE, his successes and failures and how he ended up running for office and winning! Tune in today for this insightful interview with an industry legend. KEY TAKEAWAYS Q.What would you say you most identify with? (In reference to his many different job titles e.g Professional wrestler, Actor and Mayor) A.I don’t know if I could say anything is more important than the other. I think that all too often we judge people by what they do instead of talking to people and taking them that way.   Is there any part of your journey/career that you enjoyed most? I really enjoyed wrestling, it was wonderful to be out in front of crowds and it is very gratifying when people come up and want to shake my hand. That is amazing, touching people's lives emotionally. Now in a different role, I am having a lot of fun in a different way, I feel like I am having an impact on my community.   Q.How did you get into becoming Mayor? I’ve always been interested in government politics, one day I woke up and thought that I can run for office, and win. It is the idea that you can have an impact on your community and you can’t always make things turn out certain ways but you can certainly have an influence on how they turn out.   Q.Have you had this vision of having many different careers from an early age? My life has been very much like how Mike Tyson described “everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Every time I’ve had a plan to do something it fell apart and other things popped up. I do think, having a goal in mind is very important, but life is very complex and you have to be flexible and realize that life won’t always go the way you want.   Q.Do you have any fear of failing in a career? A.Failure is a huge obstacle. I have failed at a lot of stuff, the more you fail the more you realize that that's not the end of the story, you’re going to be able to come back from that and go on. In many cases, failure is a positive, because if you never fail then that means that you did not try and you’re not stepping out of your comfort zone.   Q.How did you settle on the character ‘Kane”? A.We talk about failures, I certainly had some. There is no prescribed path to get to WWE everybody does it differently. I would drive 200 miles to work for free just to get experience, it wasn’t much fun! Eventually, I networked and worked my way u and was able to sign with WWE. I had several characters that weren’t very successful the character Kane was then created for me and that was my big break. You have failures, but on the way, you learn things and I was able to prove to  WWE that I was an asset to the company.   Q.What made you succeed in that career for thirty years when other people only last a few years? A.I was very fortunate, I didn’t get hurt very often. It’s also about your attitude, having the right attitude takes you a long way realising that you’re contributing to the company. Too often people go to their employer and ask ‘what’s in it for me?’ what they should be doing is asking ‘what can I do for my company?’ That is what makes you valuable. My ability to put my company's interest first was why I was able to stay around for so long.   What changes did you want to make as Mayor and what is your vision? A couple of priorities that we’re working on are mental health and substance abuse in our community similar to many other communities across the USA. Those two things are at the root of other issues that we’re facing. Another thing is looking at how we can prepare our workforce for the rapidly evolving global economy. If you look at all the things happening in the global economy, innovation has become the driving economic engine and how do we prepare our workforce for that and take advantage of that?   Q.What is the best advice that you’ve ever received? A.I am the one responsible for my life and nobody else is. It doesn’t matter if things happen to me that ain't my fault, I am the one that is going to have to deal with it, and I have to take ownership of things.   Is there one thing wrong with the world, that you would love to change? We don’t talk to each other. We scream and yell and each other a lot and we all have a different viewpoint, and we don’t listen enough.   Q.What does the word disruptive mean to you? A.Concepts and ideas which come in and disrupt the current economic paradigm, but actually end up improving it.   BEST MOMENTS “In life a lot of times, the things that happen to you, you don’t have any control over. What you think are tragedies at the time, really turn out the be the best thing that could’ve happened to you”   “I’ll wrestle anyone if it’s for a good cause!”   “My toughest opponent was dealing with how to overcome the fear of failure”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Caffeine Cast: The Patience Paradox (& the NEED for Speed) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: The Patience Paradox (& the NEED for Speed) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

This episode Rob discusses and explains the importance of being impatient whilst also not being too impatient that you end up chopping and changing ideas. Also discussed in this episode is the commodity of speed in this current time period especially because of social media and the way technology’s moving. KEY TAKEAWAYS The paradox of patience vs impatience is that you know you need to endure and give your product/service to mature in order to pay you back. If you’re not putting enough work into your smart work not hard work, leverage, systems, processes and staff, then you’re not enduring challenge and resilience so you’re not going to build a business and brand and scale. Be done rather than perfect because you can always make changes and improvements but you’ve got to be first to do it. Have some impatience with your staff and team so that you’re first but not to fast that you’re too unrealistic. The longer that you’ve done something, the better you will be at getting your products out quickly but not too quick. Usually when people get something out quickly their method isn’t usually the right one for you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to work hard enough to not have to work hard’. ‘Impatience is actually a good thing as an entrepreneur’. ‘Nowadays speed is a commodity’   [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.

Steven Bartlett: CEO of Social Chain, Social Media Mogul by 23 [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Steven Bartlett: CEO of Social Chain, Social Media Mogul by 23 [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

“Success is so easy to achieve” In this special episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob interviews  CEO of Social Chain, Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Speaker & Investor, Steve Bartlett. They discuss what it takes to be successful, what skills, knowledge and information you need to acquire to scale-up your business and why mentors, marketing and finding the perfect balance can lead to a happy work, welfare and world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowledge and education are one of the most crucial things that you can do for you to be successful in your life or business. You may drop out of school because you have maybe found a business opportunity, and you go and start that business and it makes you money for the first time, but then you realize that you need to improve your skills in running this business. For you to do this, you need to learn what you need to do to acquire better skills and run your business perfectly leading to scale-up in your business. With mentors, you get to be advised if the path you are taking is the right one, and with this, you get to make well-informed decisions. Mentors may also give you some great ideas on what to do to better your life or your business. When you make a product, you don't expect people to come right away and buy from you and they do not have any information about the product and what it can do for them, you have to advertise it. Let people know about your product. Hire a marketing professional if you have to because marketing is also a key factor in the success of your business. After this, you will now have the sales that you want because people are aware of what you are offering to them and they want to try it. Why you need to go public as a company. It's a really good way to keep control of the company while raising significant capital to achieve growth. When you're thinking about how to raise capital when you're at the stage where you've got several options, you can get private investment, VC investment, a lot of these come with a lot of restrictions and covenants and issues, going public presents you with a different set of issues, but a set of issues that is more conducive with you controlling the direction of the company and being able to achieve ambitious growth. Have a great team behind you that is always looking out for you and always wants what’s best for you. Having a great team will help you balance your personal life, your business life and even the growth of your business will be great. Do not exchange your purpose for money, that is, never sell that thing that makes you wake up every morning because if you sell it even for millions of money, what will you do with all that money now that you don’t have any purpose in your life? Most probably you will just waste all that money on irrelevant things. Life is an infinite game and the perfect balance for you is to be ambitious and to go after worthy causes while realizing that you don't need to achieve them. Work, welfare and world, this is what you should do in your personal life or business life for you to be happy. You need the funds to do the business and that’s why you need to work, you need to fly to Germany or take six months leave for vacation and still come back or pay a therapist, and that’s the welfare your business should give you, that is, being sustainable, and then the impact you make to the world, be it donations or whatever. Believe in yourself and you will see wonders. If you have a great idea and your instincts tell you it's a great idea, go for it even when people try to tell you not to do it. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take that risk for you to succeed in life and business. BEST MOMENTS “When organizations they go public after change a lot because the financial reporting changes drastically.” “As entrepreneurs, if there isn't a girlfriend or there aren’t kids or there isn't something else that's making you create time, then you'll just fill it with work.” “Balance is a bit of a myth for entrepreneurs because the business always feels like the priority.” “Buy nice things, but don’t buy them into the pretence that they're going to make you feel better about yourself.” “Do not exchange your purpose for money.” “You are already enough.” “Happiness is defined as progress towards a worthy goal.” “The best journeys are ones where you never arrive.” “It’s a misuse of energy and time to prove people wrong, you have so many people that already care for you.” “Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Steven is the 27-year-old CEO Founder of Social Chain which uses owned media, marketing and technology to build Social Brands.
