Freedom or Bust - Our Right to Financial Rebellion | Rob on VIRAL Podcast The CEOCAST

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.

“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. In the last few years, he has become an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker and investor, and now leads a company of 700+ team members across 5 countries, who are quickly disrupting the ever-changing social world.

In today's episode, Rob talks us through one of the most important skills you can have as an entrepreneur, managing and mastering your emotions. Rob dives into what could trigger your emotions and gives some top tips on how to manage them and stop them affecting your future success and enable you to be the best version of yourself! KEY TAKEAWAYS -Most important factor in your entrepreneurship or business that will determine your success or failure is how you manage and master your emotions.   - Emotions are triggered by your previous experiences which have formed and created an emotional response or reaction. It is not a conscious thought, it is an unconscious reaction to the environment or people.   -You are not your emotions, your emotions are reactions and feedback to the environment and places and people. They are also your past experiences appearing as a feeling.   -If your emotions hijack you, you end up becoming a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ type personality, whereby when you’re logical and not triggered you are acting based on your own pure thoughts and actions and desires. However, when you become triggered and emotional you become a non-true version of you.   -Mastering your emotions is understanding what they are and how they’re triggered, and then controlling and managing them.   -When you experience people, you don’t experience them as they are. You experience them as you are, through your own emotional response to them. This is not your conscious mind, this is your unconscious mind or your body-mind.   -Your reactions to your clients, critics, staff and partners are all based on your past experiences being dragged into the present and therefore are affecting your future and this is not the truth.   -Managing your emotions is: Step 1: Notice when you get triggered. Step 2: Understand where that emotion came from. Step 3: Understand that that is happening to others.   -Significant emotional events in your past are triggering your present and dictating your future. If you let the emotions get the better of you, then you’re letting the past dictate the present which will ruin the future.   -Never make important decisions when you are emotional. Always make them when you are logical, calm and not triggered. Learn to smile, be calm and still and walk away.   BEST MOMENTS “This is not life, this is how you perceive it to be.”   “The maximum growth is on the border of support and challenge”   “Master your emotions and you master your entrepreneurship”   [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.

Rejection is hard, but far too many of us take it badly. This can be damaging to you, your environment, and most certainly your business and its growth.   In this episode, Rob tells you the best ways not to take rejection, what not to do when you get rejected, how you can turn rejection into something positive, and the ways in which you can take action beyond.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two damaging extremes when it comes to taking rejection and how you act upon it, both of which will hurt you and your business badly:  Angry, critical, defensive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, emotional and controlling behaviours.  Retreat, hide, aggressive self-analysing followed by internal scalding.    Reacting badly to rejection only reinforces the belief that whoever did the rejecting did the right thing! It’s not about taking rejection; it’s about how you handle that rejection. Acting like a child won’t make anyone change their mind.    It’s not personal - Rejection is never personal. The pain we experience in the wake of rejection often leads us to believe, falsely, that the rejection is very personal, but rejection is almost always about the place they are in, the way in which we approached them, or their circumstances at the time.    Don’t take rejection based on how you feel, or your perceptions - The feelings of pain or inadequacy caused through rejection are reflections of some past pain or experience, and can cause wrongful associations with those previous episodes.    Don’t take it based on the present - Rejection often triggers an incredible sense of insecurity, and can conflate the sense that the present moment is ruined and will have lasting effects on the present.     Do not take it as one-sided - Don’t assume that rejection is all negative. There are an equal amount of upsides to being rejected.     Make sure that in the wake of rejection, you do not lash out; you do not seek revenge; you do not inflict the pain you are feeling upon someone else! In the height of emotion, we generally say things we do not mean, and almost always regret the things we do. It may also ruin people’s perception of us going forward.    Make sure you don’t try and exercise some kind of emotional-based leverage on someone - Guilt-tripping or emotional blackmail are not qualities that will encourage anyone to want to pursue a relationship with you in the future.    Don’t turn it into something that means more than it does - Rejection doesn’t mean that your health, wealth or finances are ruined. Compartmentalise the rejection and don’t let it spill into your other interests.    Don’t publicly react or turn to the internet to rant - All you’re doing when you display your negative reaction, is widening the field of people who won’t want to deal with you later.    Don’t beat yourself up - Remember that rejection is almost never personal. Don’t take rejection too hard as it’s likely to have been entirely circumstantial.    Never retreat - In the wake of rejection, it can be damaging to assume that you must never try again. You have to keep coming back, even if it means more rejection.    Take it graciously - You might be feeling the polar opposite, but smile, breathe and don’t speak. Think, wait, and be kind. This will allow you an elegant response borne out of patience and consideration.    Be grateful - Look for ways to be grateful. Be grateful that you got a response. Be grateful that they considered your request. Be grateful for the opportunity to seek feedback.    Rejection always has a balanced equal upside - There’s a lesson in everything, even in the negative experiences. Rejection is growth, learning, a test, and a sign of your own bravery.    Let the emotion pass - Don’t associate the feelings of hurt with past experiences, because this is nothing like that. Don’t let the past damage the future and the present.    Rejection is a logical, natural, normal event or step towards success, growth and progress. A prerequisite of success is that you will have to experience multiple forms of rejection, so each one should be seen as a further step upwards.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We all act like a child from time-to-time’  ‘It’s rarely, if ever, about you’  ‘When people are emotional they immediately react!’  ‘When you master this, you master life’  ‘You’ll be in a washing-machine of being triggered’  ‘One failing does not make you a failure’  ’The emotion triggers the action’  ‘Gratitude is a gift, so rejection is a gift if you’re grateful for it’  ‘If you stop and shoot at every dog that barks, you’ll never get to your destination’  [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.

LinkedIn can be a huge tool for you in 2020 if you know how to use it. LinkedIn gives savvy entrepreneurs and business owners a huge advantage and level planning field to expand their reach and increase their engagement. Join in and hear how Rob is utalising LinkedIn to maximise reach and generate high converting inbound leads at a cheaper cost. Discover how to expand your reach, what style of posts you should be sharing, how to generate regular inbound leads and the importance of recommendations. KEY TAKEAWAYS The LinkedIn platform gives you a huge advantage and level planning field for everyone. It does not restrict your reach your connections. With Facebook and other social media platforms, you’re likely to only reach 3% of your audience and only your first stage connections will see your content, however, with LinkedIn, your posts and your content reaches second and third stage connections.   On LinkedIn, it’s easier to get your post seen by many more people and as a result, gain new connections. If you’re a marketer you’ll pay around £5 per lead and If you’re a salesperson each follower should be worth £1-£5 per person per year so LinkedIn is a great opportunity to increase your network. 10 Tips To Make LinkedIn Big For You In 2020 The optimum for LinkedIn posts is one post per day. The most important thing for posting is gauging the reach (views) this can be enhanced with LinkedIn lives although you will need to test for the optimum length. Additionally know your target market and tailor your content to that demographic. When posting cycle on engagement-jacking posts, one-story based post, four content-based posts and finally one offer based post. However, when you add a link into your post it can decrease your reach. Varying your posts and ‘content’ marketing is the best way to create leads on LinkedIn. Remember to share your stories of success, be personal and spark engagement/emotion, it’s important to remember your goal is to reach as many people as possible. Finally, with your offer based post ensure you’re offering a low price product or asking for those interest to directly message you. This will generate inbound leads. The first hour is the most important. Your post might reach up to 3% of your audience initially, however if you get engagement (like share or comment) in that first hour then your post will be pushed to 2nd and 3rd stage connections. Make sure to keep that hour free to engage with your posts and as a result, increase your engagement. Posts, articles, videos and documents are the four types of posts that you can put on LinkedIn. Documents are a relatively new feature but is getting really positive reach. This is a good way to increase our reach, for example write a bullet point list, upload it as a PDF and LinkedIn will convert this to a Slideshare and each click through your document/slides will register as engagement. This is a good way of increasing your reach and connecting with new audiences. LinkedIn lives posted once or twice per week can create really good engagement. Focus on getting and giving recommendations. If you give one it will DM that person and they will likely return the favour. Over time you will get good recommendations and your following will increase. SSI (Social Selling Index) This is the way LinkedIn score your profile and your posts. It’s important to keep this high as this will affect your posts reach and engagement. Add connections properly. You can search via job, demographic, title and more, it’s wise to only add connections of that niche and therefore only accept connections from that demographic.   BEST MOMENTS“Keep testing because the algorithms are changing”“If you post and then share a link a little bit later it won’t kill your reach”“You have to do the content marketing thing to generate inbound leads”“LinkedIn can generate the best leads because they’re business people”“Embrace haters, trolls and critics as they will spark debates” [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.

Have you been hit with the January blues? Are you feeling a bit down in the dumps and unsure how to get back to 100%? Join us today for one of Rob’s Rants to see how you can overcome your emotions in the easiest and quickest way and get motivated to achieve your business goals. Rob talks us through how we can push ourselves to overcome the downtimes and allow ourselves to reach our full potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have our moments in life when we feel sorry for ourselves, have our down days and need some help and support and that is okay, most people in life go through this at some point or other.  Here are some tips to help overcome these emotions and how to let these moments in our lives have minimal impact on our goals and growth. Select the right people to speak too. Make sure it is people you know and not on social media sites or to people you cannot trust. Talk to friends, family, therapists or mentors who have your best interest at heart and who won’t judge you. Get permission from the right people. Ask them when the time is right to seek their advice. Who doesn’t like being asked for help when others are struggling? Isolate yourself from emails, social media, etc when you’re triggered or emotional. You will write and put things in the public domain that you will regret later. You must avoid toxic people when you’re feeling more vulnerable. People that will use your mental state against you, hurt you or judge you. Allow some time for wallowing, however, shorten it and move on. Do something about it! Stop moaning and start fixing the problem. A great thing you can do is move, go for a walk, go to the gym and get some energy. Why do I feel like this? What has triggered me? How can I change? How can I be the change I want to see in the world? Get out of problem mode and into solution mode. Could you meet your needs somewhere else? How else can you get that need met other than to people who aren't going to serve you? Could you have a therapist, a mentor or a coach? Could you create a blog about it, a podcast series? You can turn it to good in the world. Make sure you have wise counsel around you. Gratitude, you cannot feel genuine gratitude and any other negative emotion simultaneously. Practice gratitude. Gratitude it harder when things aren't going your way, practice it and be thankful for things that you do have.   BEST MOMENTS ‘motion creates emotion’ ‘Fixing mode is a very powerful mode’‘you cannot feel genuine gratitude and any other negative emotion simultaneously.’ [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.
