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

Do you fear failure and think this will limit your success? In today’s episode, Rob discusses how to embrace frequent failures and how these can enable your future success. Learn how failing small, frequently and fast allows your company to grow, the benefits of living vicariously through your mentors’ mistakes and why you should fail with grace and gratitude so that the world will respect and follow you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Success is about frequent yet hopefully small failures. People often talk about getting better at success but they do not often talk about getting better at failure in order to succeed. Learn to fail small, fail often and fail fast. Create lots of different versions of your product and service for your consumer and learn from the failures of each one and update each version so that it improves on the previous version. If you have the ‘fix it’ mindset and not the growth mindset, you are going to embrace small and frequent mistakes in order to achieve big wins. It is a myth that you need to take big risks, it is wise to de-risk failure on an epic level and then have small, frequent actions. Get a mentor and leverage the mentor’s mistakes and failures, live vicariously through the failure of others and implement these into your business model. If your mentor has lived through their failure and blazed the trail, you can leverage the failure of successful people. Use sources such as podcasts, books and online courses. Fail with gratitude and grace, too many people are failing with anger and beating themselves up about it. Failure is how the world judges you, especially when you fail publicly. If you fail angry and bitterly, then you lose and the world just judges you whereas is you fail with gratitude and grace the world says ‘you are a leader and I will follow you.’ BEST MOMENTS “If you want to be successful, you have got to embrace failure.” “In the pursuit of doing things well and getting things right you are going to fail.” “Often, mistakes end up being something better.”   [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.

Are you the type of person who believes that the more hours you put in, the more successful you will become? Someone who works so hard, they end up burning themselves out? Well, today Rob discusses why you need to stop doing this. Learn today how taking your time, and making smart decisions will allow you to become more successful at a slower pace, how smaller, deep-dive working hours can maximise your impact and always remembering to appreciate what you have rather than what you want to do next.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: When scaling your business, you have got to think about timing, longevity, strategies and vision. All those things are not about pushing yourself harder, they are about taking your time, breathing it in and making smart decisions. Maintaining high-quality energy is vital. If you are burning out and your enthusiasm and passion have gone then you will end up pushing your business relationships away and they will not be inspired by you. You can’t maintain the quality of energy when working 12 hours a day. It is not the hardest workers that are the most successful right now, the new science is showing that the most successful business people are those who can recover and rest the quickest and the best. It is way better to work slower and more diligently and with more balances, four hours a day rather than twelve hours a day. You push people away when you are not in the flow, you blame other people, become defensive and take everything personally. Your resilience becomes weaker as you become more tired. According to Robin Sharma, five good deep dive hours of intense flow and focus working on key result areas is the maximum you need to do a day. You can use the remainder of your time to recover and get balance. You should try to leverage more and allow jobs to be done by others, trying not to work yourself into the ground. Every now and then you need to stop and appreciate what you have earned rather than constantly thinking about what you want next.   BEST MOMENTS: “It is a marathon not a sprint, and I know I would not have been open to that sort of commentary 15 years ago.” “What if you hustled and ground and made a million quid, and had no friends and no family left?” “If you want your company to change the world, you are not going to do that in a day, or a week or a year.”   [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 is joined by entrepreneur, mentor and podcaster Spencer Lodge, recently voted as one of the most influential people in Dubai, UAE. Together, Rob and Spencer discuss how people continually judge others based on their social media profiles and the detriments this can cause, the importance of therapy and how talking to someone with no outside agenda can benefit your mindset and help you overcome your unresolved issues.   KEY TAKEAWAYS One thing that is pervasive on social media is that everybody is judging everybody. Social media users judge influencers or fellow users based on their content and how they perceive it. Judge someone when you have met them and spent a few hours on them, don’t judge someone from afar. We all have unresolved issues. If you care too much about what people think this may make you weak, vulnerable and needy, on the contrary, if you don’t care at all what people think of you that could make you a dictator, cold and uncompassionate. Asking for help and seeking advice from therapists can help you figure out who you are and why you are the way that you are.  People really do struggle when there are three areas of their life that have all gone wrong. If you are struggling in the three areas, focus on one area of your life to ‘fix’, which may relieve some of your stress and problems and allow you to focus on improving or resolving the other two areas of your life you deem to be ‘failing.’ When it comes to therapy, men, in particular, resist therapy more than they should. It doesn’t matter how severe your problems maybe, you just need to find someone outside of your environment that can hear you and be objective about anything that they give back. Being bullied or receiving hate can motivate you to become successful and you may compare yourself and your success to that of your bullies’. On the one hand, it is really motivating to prove people wrong. However, on the other hand, it is a bit of a vacuous pursuit. You are who you and your life is your own and there may be some emptiness in continually hitting checkpoints of success to prove people wrong.   BEST MOMENTS “People who judge people for their religion and not for who they are as a person I think they are missing who the person actually is.” “If we all didn’t judge someone until we spent a few hours with them, I think the world would be a much better place.” “My lowest times have been where I can’t add value.”   [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.

Discover the six stages that have been proven to create a successful event launch. Learn how important it is to have a short window of opportunity for your customers, how to create a ‘pre-pre-launch’ as well as ensuring your customers have all the key information they need to purchase before that highly anticipated launch date. KEY TAKEAWAYS When selling your product or service it is important to have a closing window. The problem with keeping it open is anyone knows they can get it any time and therefore there is no rush. If you have a short opening window for selling your product it is likely that you will sell more items in a shorter time frame. Having a “pre pre-launch” simply sows the seed and gets the idea into consumers’ mind. You may even ask your consumers for ideas for your new product to create interest. The pre-launch stage is where you are actually building up to the launch, you start from awareness, intrigue to desire and then to hunger. Then, when you open with a very limited window of opportunity hopefully the floodgates will open and sales will flow. Giving key information to your customers on the pre-launch is vital as things such as the logistics, the time limit and the details etc are important things to communicate with potential customers as the more they feel and the less they think on the day of your launch the more you are going to sell. You must close your window for selling your item when you promised to, and you can then begin to create a waitlist which builds anticipation for the relaunch or reopening of your product or service.   BEST MOMENTS “Scarcity or fear of missing out create urgency.” “You must have the hunger before you open.” “The shut is linked to the open, without the shut you don’t get the mass influx in the open.”   [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.

If you’ve ever wanted to start going Live on social media and wondered how people do it, how they get started or how they plan their content then join us today to find out how. Discover today how having a loose script or some bullet points can help you stay on topic as well as the importance of creating a distraction-free environment to go live in, and how the more content you create, the better it will become. KEY TAKEAWAYS If your content is single content obtaining one point or one idea, go live and just discuss and to a certain degree rif and freewheel and be comfortable with that. If you were doing a professional video for a website, have some bullet points to follow out of the viewfinder to prompt you.   If you do not have that much confidence in front of the camera or are fairly new to social media, create bullet points to follow and briefly expand upon each bullet point you wish to make as a reminder for you to stay on track.   Pick a subject matter to discuss that you are confident in. Ideally don’t pick something completely new to you, but if you do decide to do this, keep it short so that it is easier and more palatable.   Don’t allow yourself to get distracted when going Live on social media. Get yourself in an environment where there is nothing going on in the background that could potentially get you out of flow state and out of presence.   -Getting into a flow state is not just about the content, it is about the background, it is about the pattern interrupt of what you do to stop people from scrolling past you and to actually start looking at your work.   The more work you put out there, the better your work gets. You have to create a lot of content in order to better yourself. Some of the content you create may not land, other content may be great but not many people will view it or gain reach. You can't get really good content out until you’ve got really bad content.   BEST MOMENTS “You’ve got a loose concept, and then there is the element of discovery.” “When you’re tempted to fatten it out and start scripting it just stop that.” “If you are ever particularly emotional, that can make really good social media content.”   [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.

Is there something you really want to achieve but somebody is telling you that you can’t? Or perhaps you’re telling yourself that? Well, learn today what the word ‘can’t’ really means; how when someone tells you that you can’t, they really mean they don’t want you to.  As well as discovering how the word can’t is a projection of your inner fears and failings when in reality you CAN do anything. KEY TAKEAWAYS The reality is, when someone says to you ‘you can’t’ what they actually mean is ‘they don’t want you to.’ Just because someone doesn’t want you to or doesn’t know how to do something, this does not mean you can’t or you shouldn’t. When you say to yourself that you can't do something, in reality, you don’t know how yet, or you have a secondary gain or ulterior motive for saying ‘I can’t’. For example, if you say that you ‘can’t leave your job’ your goal for saying this, is to protect you from failure, to keep you safe because if you say you can, you risk failure. To embrace ridicule, rejection, insignificance and criticism is to take the action, to have the ‘can do’ attitude, to grow, to scale and to create impact. Be very careful when you trap yourself when you say ‘I can’t because of…’ this is an illusion when in reality you can do anything. All the decisions that people are making that are keeping them small and insignificant are all based on what we believe other people will think about us. The courage to be selfish and then disassociating from the need to please others is where your true mission and message lies. Accountability is vital for results and in reality, you can do anything you wish to achieve and when people say you can't, remember it is a manifestation and projection of their own fears and failings as well as meaning they don’t know how, and if you don’t know-how, this should send signals to your brain that you can and are able to learn how.   BEST MOMENTS “‘This word ‘can’t’ can be very destructive.” “Saying I can’t give you safety and comfort and security” “The 'can’t' will disappear and the cans appear when you say to yourself ‘what would I do if there was no ridicule and no judgement and no fear. How big would you dream?”   [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.

DESCRIPTION Today, Rob is joined by American venture capital investor Tim Draper, whose most prominent investments include Hotmail, Skype, Tesla and Twitter. Learn today what investors look for in an entrepreneur and what it truly means to be one, as well as why it is important to visualise the future success of companies when investing in them rather than looking at what could go wrong.   KEY TAKEAWAYS As an early-stage venture investor, you need to put your money into a variety of different companies because it is only a small number of businesses that makes it big and so you have to have at least 20 or 30 investments in any given fund.   If a company is doing something entirely new and different there is not much research you can do so you have to just project out ‘what is the world going to look like in 5, 10, 15 years from now if these people are successful?’ That is the question you should ask yourself when considering to invest in a company rather than what could go wrong.   A true entrepreneur is someone who dedicates their life to something whether they get an investment or not, they have just decided to go ahead and do it, it is a train leaving the station and if investors want to get on the train, then they can. Once they create enough success they are able to look at their product and see the impact it has had on the world.   Keep making money and don’t spend it. Stay frugal and feel good about money because when you’ve earned it that means you have made a deal with somebody that worked out very well for the two of you and whenever you make a deal with somebody the ambition is that you are both going to be better off. Continue to make deals which will help you grow your wealth.   It doesn’t matter who is buying or selling, it is just the human connection that matters. Have that connection and the ability to do a deal with somebody or do something for somebody that will make their life better, you should always be proud to buy and sell and to help others as well as accepting help when you need it.   When you are ‘poor’ or ‘unsuccessful’ you think about money and success more because it is not something you think you have. Work hard to make yourself a good amount of money and make money something you no longer have to think about too much so that you can then go out and do meaningful work.   BEST MOMENTS “I have always loved entrepreneurs, I love what they do for the world, I love the progress they bring us in jobs, wealth and happier people. They explore the world in new ways. Entrepreneurs are great for our world and we need to support them in any way that we can” “I am always looking at the entrepreneur that way, I am thinking ‘are you going to be the one that makes a huge impact on the world.” “You want to make your customers into your sales force” “When it is really great, you will start losing people.”   [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.

Are you looking to expand your business, but scared of growing too fast? Or even have a service to offer but have a fear of getting too many clients? Learn today why it is better to grow too big too soon rather than to have never grown at all as well as learning to embrace growth rather than fear it and why making yourself uncomfortable can benefit you immensely.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you don’t get started, you don’t get moving and the paradox of fearing growth, scale and success are that you never start and you never even end up getting one client let alone too many clients. If you start and make some progress, you will then build momentum and you can start to create goals for yourself.   The best way to create a good service and to know what your limits are and to develop your personal brand is to grow your business incrementally. The best mindset to have is to grow your business quite fast but have regular check-ins once you get to a certain scale.   Each time you go up to a new level, you may have moments where you feel overwhelmed that it is all too much, too quickly. Stop, evaluate and take a step back. You may find once you get to that point where everything is a bit chaotic you take a couple of months out to figure your systems out whilst the demand for your product or service grows.   When you get to a certain ceiling and you have been there for a while, this then becomes normal, and you can push onto the next level and so on. So you create a cycle of uncomfortable to comfortable to normal.   You should aim to at least feel what too much growth feels like before you fear success. Don’t fear change and don’t fear what people will say about you as you grow because in your journey of growth and progress you have to let some people go.   When you have a queue of customers that can’t yet use your product or service and they need to wait, more desire is created around your product which means when you open the doors for the business they come flooding in.   BEST MOMENTS “At least start and get some clients on the way to figuring things out as you go.” “I find it ironic that there are some people that don’t want too many clients and too much business and too much growth.” “Instead of doing nothing because you’re worried about it all being uncomfortable, get progressively, gently uncomfortable and once you’ve been there for a while things will become normal.”   [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.
