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

Interview with Aston Merrygold, former member of JLS, one of the biggest ever boy bands with 10,000,000 records sold. Aston’s since been a judge on a dance talent show and appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. He’s appeared in adverts for Coca-Cola, Samsung and Tesco. Rob’s met with Aston at his dance studio in Vauxhall to discuss success, wealth, leveraging social media, reinventing your career and dealing with the business side of celebrity. KEY TAKEAWAYS You’re now pursuing a career as a solo artist, that must be different to working with your bandmates. I bet there’s upsides and downsides, do you want to talk about that Aston? Yeah, I guess the only real difference is the social. you'd be in a room with your friends, business partners, having a heated business discussion, everyone's got their own ideas and nothing ever arrives to arguments or blows, but from an outside perspective it can be quite awkward. It looks like we're going at each other, but that's just the passion. Now on my own, it's my way or the highway. I prefer it that way, 100%! I'm so thankful to the rest of the guys and my team, but now being on my own I can finally be myself and express myself fully, not contribute 25% to a four-piece. How do you want to be known and remembered, Aston? Well, I want to be remembered as one of the greats, and I think if you don't want that, then you're in the wrong industry. If I could have an eighth, a third or a slice of something someone like Michael Jackson had or Justin Timberlake, more recently. If I could get a slice of their success, I'd be more than happy! Music or dance specifically, or the fusion of both, Aston? Do you know what? I think it's just entertainment. People ask me what I do for a living, and I tell them entertainment. It's everything, music, from a writing perspective, from a performance perspective, dance-wise, acting, everything. I love everything to do with this industry. Working with business partners, sometimes that passion can overflow, sometimes you can fall out, how did you and your band learn to deal with and overcome that? To be honest, I don't know why, we just did! There was no learning process. As individuals we just wanted to fight the good fight. We would put it to each other like, "If we do this we could be here, if we do that we could be there..." It was all about where we needed to be. What was best for us as a collective. I was the youngest of the four so I tended not to take things as seriously, when it came to the business aspect I was more than happy to give my opinion and not back down, but ultimately I thought that was why we outsourced, hiring business managers, administrators and consultants, to make those decisions on our behalf. How much of it was agents and labels telling you what to do and how much of it was you saying, "Wait a minute, we want to do this." Well, I'd say about 50\50. We were trusted with our opinions which was great. There were times when we trusted the label, sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Just the way of the industry. Sometimes our hits which we didn't think would succeed were massive and other times the releases we thought would be huge just didn't hit the mark. Luck of the draw, half the time. We would have to trust our lives to these people and we had a great run, I think I can speak on behalf of myself and the boys when I say it was the best thing we'd ever done. So, from your position, why do you guys feel like you moved on? I think it was the perfect turn, I'm still in JLS, I'm always going to be in JLS, but we were young when we entered the industry, then we got our break. We're all now in our mid 20's, we've already had a fantastic career, we have time to pursue other dreams! Five albums take a lot of time, there's been a lot of tours and it was the thought of signing the deal for another five albums and being contracted all over again. Now we're all starting families, it seemed to us that we were at the top of our game, didn't want to overstay our welcome and then if we're welcome back then we're welcome back! We're more than happy with where JLS left.Was it scary, leaving the industry to try other things? Hell yeah! It was so scary, because I'd been cocooned. For the last 7/8 years I'd lived by the diary, having cars pick me up at certain times to take me to meetings and events at certain times. From life being handled by every aspect to getting the reigns back to my own life was definitely scary, but I was free. I got to start again with all the knowledge and wisdom of the industry which I didn't have before, it was a rush! You seem totally laid back about transitioning career and going from being massive to starting from scratch, Aston. What would you say to people who aren't as laid back as you and they're scared? Well, you can look at fear one or two ways; it can over could you and make you introverted, or you can take it upon yourself and admit it's scary. There's a difference jumping out of a plane with a parachute and without one. Regardless of whether you have one or not, it's scary. Jumping without one, it'll only ever end one way, with one you still have a safety net which may not work but at least you confront it and take it head on. Nowadays on Social Media you can be absolutely killed. One wrong remark or faux-pas and that could be your career done within a matter of hours, regardless of what's happened. It's as cut-throat as that. Once you realise and know that, life won't be so stressful! You might as well just be like, "Alright, well I'll try again." Is that faith? Is that belief in yourself? Is that confidence? Is that accepting of your industry and career and how it can be or is it all of those, Aston? It's all of them, it has to be. Sometimes I can see the bad sides of all those things within the industry and think you can be too confident. You might as well be naked on stage and say, "There you go, judge away." Has the industry changed you? Yeah, definitely. I used to go out with my mates from uni, early twenties, same as everyone else. The only difference was that I was I had money so we could really enjoy ourselves and the media perceived me to be showing off. What else would you be doing on a weekend with your friends from uni at that age, going out every night obviously! Do I have work tomorrow? Yeah of course, but I'm fine! So you've talked about these glass ceilings to smash through, what's your glass ceiling and how're you going to smash through it? The next glass ceiling is just getting music out there. Letting people know that I'm a solo artist now. Not many people know it. Music's based mainly online now, it's ever-changing and you can so quickly and easily get lost. It's me having the courage to step back and take a harder look at it and evaluating how I want to approach it. At first I was like, "Yeah I want to chuck anything out and do whatever." Whereas now I'm like, "Now I have to chuck it out in the right way." Do you think some of the purists struggle with how fast music and content are changing? Yes! I had a meeting the other day with a great friend of mine who works for a label and he got pissed off with me for talking on my phone. He said, "Stop talking, I've heard your stuff, let people hear it and decide!" Get your content out there. Whether 10 people here it or 10,000,000 people hear it, you'll effect change. People think they should wait for the perfect time but there is not perfect time. It's ever-changing, so fast paced! People are now starting to put their own truth out to the world. Podcasts, YouTube, Social Media, etc. People want honesty, but you're damned if you do and damned if you don't if when for example your niche is writing sad songs and you decide to write a happy one, some of your followers may disapprove but at least you're being authentic. Too often we aim to please everybody and don't want to be judged too harshly. A lot of people are really intrigued about the business side of your career, did you show an interest in that or did you just want to go and do entertainment? At first, I was definitely happy-go-lucky, thinking business was cool but then I'd get invited to an accounting meeting and I'd think, "Perfect..." Then the taxes came and I wanted to know who was taking my money! As it went on I wondered why hadn't they taught me about this at school? All these avenues and options, I don't know why it took me to reach a certain age for it to click. In the early stages money was coming in thick and fast, unreal! First I was partying, then I wanted to buy a house, then the business aspect start to get more real. Then I started to analyse why the volume of gigs in the first part of the year was more than the third part of the year, etc. I started to realise there was a business cycle behind it all. A preparation period, a release period, etc. A template every artist follows. People are launching from yesterday. "I'm gonna be in the studio tomorrow, everyone out there, check out this song that I posted last night." The rule book's been thrown out the window! Slade wrote a Christmas number one 40 years ago and they're still milking £500,000 per year from it! Cristiano Ronaldo gets €300,000 per tweet if he does a brand endorsement. There's some downsides to Social Media but if you want to set up a business or be an artist or creative, surely it's gotta be the best time in history?! You get a small tripod for £5, set your camera up, start singing or dancing or whatever and start selling products! Have you embraced all the Social Media, are you quite active? Instagram and visual things I love, things like Twitter, not so much. For me, Twitter's maybe 90% negative and 10% positive. You get a lot of opinions when people post music but aren't ready to perform in front of large crowds of people. You want to be true to your art and your work and you could spend 30 years crafting your work, never be perfect, get still always be judged by purist critics. Social Media today, you can dictate the terms. If you like the comments, get involved. If you hate it, turn it off, if you're an introvert you can do a podcast because nobody can see your face! There's ways around it now, there's lanes, avenues, ways people can really express themselves. Building multiple streams of income and making hay while the sun shines. I've seen a lot a lot of people who've become very successful and then relaxed. You never know when there could be another recession. In your world Aston, you can be the best and then you can be gone. Do you think about building income streams, having multiple business interest endorsements? What are your thoughts on streams of income and making hay while the sun shines? I'm 110% up for building these streams of income. As an artist I choose when I get paid. If I don't want to get paid, I don't go out and work. It doesn't work for me. You're never too successful! There's always bills to pay and people to provide for. We're sitting in one of my avenues now. There's always a bigger picture. I'd like ten of these, dotted around the country, dotted around the world. You've got a business partner in this venture. How important is having that business partner, what benefit have you got? It's nice to always have the other perspective, coming from a band it's nice to bounce ideas. At the same time, when I'm touring, I need someone to hold down the fort. If something comes up within the business which I can't handle straight away, he can handle that. It's nice having a business partner that's totally on your wavelength. Gold dust! People say you shouldn't go into business with friends. I say life's too short to go into business with people purely for commercial benefit and not enjoy your time together, especially if you succeed. Surely, you'd want to succeed with your friends and people you care about?! If they're true friends, you'll never run into any worries. They'll all eventually show their true colours. The best advice you've ever received, if you can remember it? From Seal, actually. One of the greats. He told me, "Enjoy it." Regardless of whether you're performing in front of 50 people at a local concert or 50,000 in an arena, enjoy it. We're all rushing everything we ever do, so slow down, soak it up. Worst advice? Honestly, I've never had bad advice. If I've ever had advice which didn't go according to plan, I'd learn from it, which would be invaluable anyway. Going against my gut always bites me. A myth about the industry or a celebrity or someone in the media which most people don't know about? When you get £1,000,000 you don't actually get £1,000,000! Why didn't they teach you in school that if you're an employee, when you get paid, you lose 40% to tax?! Management, agents, staff, whomever it may be, they all get a slice too. So once all of the overheads are cleared you're left with around £200,000/£300,000... Don't ever believe the newspapers! If I did six or seven of those gigs, then I'd be looking at earning that kind of money. Anything you strongly believe in the world that you'd like to change and put your stamp on? The Social Media is such a curse and such a blessing at the same time. People use it for so much good but at the same time you have to filter through so much rubbish and negativity to find any scrap of it. I'd like to put more filters and choice for people. The theme that's emerged in this interview is that there's two sides to this reality. Social media is a bit negative, but we can put our products and content out to the world in five minutes. Celebrity's all good or celebrity's all bad... There's a choice. You can always choose how you look at things and approach them. What does the word disruptive mean to you? Now? A four-and-a-half-month old baby screaming at 2am! Personally, for me being disruptive is probably more of a good thing. Music is always disrupting the airways and people's vision and hears. Music that disrupts popular, conventional music creates its own undefined genre. I enjoy proving that there aren't any rules! BEST MOMENTS The best thing about building a dance studio underneath a railway bridge is that there’s no sound restrictions, so if clients want to have their music playing at top volume, they can. It's good that clients hear music going on when they arrive, if it was silent then it'd feel like something was wrong. The smell adds to it too! I never felt the need to push buttons. If someone was feeling a bit tender over a business decision or something similar, I'd tend to back off and give them some time and space. There's no ceiling. Every ceiling you see is made of glass and if you don't smash through it then you're going to get stuck. I'm going to invest in myself instead of waiting for years for the knock on the door from the big label. Everybody's putting their stuff out through their own means. That one bad review out of the 1,000 decent ones really doesn't matter! Don't fixate on it. If I sit out home all day, doing nothing, it's not long before the phone stops ringing. I have to go out, make myself known, do shows, take appointments, etc. because if I don't do it now then my family will be in trouble. Focus yourself on what you've got, not what you've not got. I realised Social Media was a daily thing. Instagram, Twitter, people wanted to see all of you, not just the music. Sometimes I would grow my hair for campaigns, sometimes you'd see a yearly cycle within a day! As you said, happiness is a choice. Now it feels like, well that's just common sense, why would I not want to be happy? It's quite alluring and tempting, the gossip, the bad news, it's an attractive thing for some people. When my little boy came along, I thought he needs everything I didn't have when I was growing up, regardless of whether I can buy it right now or not.

Therapy: My Personal Experience (& How to Find Your Own) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

What is your perception of therapy? Do you want to know, understand and learn more about yourself and how you can grow? Rob dives into his personal experience undergoing therapy, the benefits of understanding how to deal with your baggage, the reality of addressing your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and how you can use it to creating and living a more balanced life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people perceive going to a therapist as though there must be something wrong with them, that they are broken. Their understanding is that it is all about baggage, weakness and vulnerability whereas, in reality, it is more like a test that you cannot fail. It is a learning exercise to find out more about yourself. As parents no matter how you raise your children, you’re going to raise balanced upsides and downsides. If you overly are for them, they may become dependent and juvenile. If you overly challenge them, they become broken or overly independent. The way you raise your children will form their personality. In human beings, primary caregivers mimic the emotions of children. If a child is angry, the parent’s facial expressions mirror this emotion. This gives the child feedback to learn and understand this emotion as a reflective way to know who you are. Without this, a person may not develop an understanding of emotion and who they are as a person. Nobody really knows your hurt. Perhaps the closest people to you may have some idea but people only see the behaviour you exhibit as a result of that hurt. If people saw hurt they would perhaps be more sympathetic. To understand who you are as a person, you will have to reflect on who you were as a child and how these experiences have formed your personality today. BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes I feel like a young child. I feel all weak and vulnerable and young.” “You never do wrong by your children” “When you get triggered and you react, you think you’re strong but really you’re just defensive.” [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.

500th Episode Special: Rob Get's Grilled By Mentor Dr John Demartini [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this special episode, Rob is joined by world-renowned specialist in human behaviour, a researcher, author and global educator Dr John Demartini. Together they dive into mindset, values, expanding your awareness and becoming more resilient to the addiction to praise and the fear of rejection. “Nobody gets up in the morning and says I want to have less knowledge” so jump in and discover the secrets to living your life by your highest priorities by learning to embrace pain and pleasure in the pursuit of your purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everybody has a set of values that they live their life by, whenever they are doing something that is in alignment with what is really most meaningful to them, they are spontaneously inspired to act and they are more resilient to the addiction to praise and the fear of rejection. We are more resilient because we are more objective. Every moment we are living by our higher values we become more resilient to distractions and when we live this way we have the highest probability of embracing pain and pleasure in the pursuit of our purpose. You never have certainty when you have polarised biases. Anytime you have an imbalanced day state and not an objectivity state there’s always uncertainty in your mind. When things are balanced, we lose our certainty and the moment we get in our brains we tend to bias things as the survival mechanism instead of a thriving mechanism. We need to ask ourselves how is what is happening to me right now, how is this helping me fill my priority? Human beings are called to expand, their awareness and their potential will never go away. Gratitude for the opportunity to do and not take credit or blame is one of the most powerful mechanisms humans can develop. This relates to repurposing ourselves, the moment we beat ourselves up, we repurpose ourselves because this makes us go back to priority thinking and mechanism. Don’t ever think you’re proud of your child unless you’re taking credit for what you think you did to get them there. You are never proud of their actions, pride is not the way they did, pride is what role you think you played in what they just did, the second you’re proud, they’re going to humble you. The moment we allow ourselves to get up and be proud, we have a built-in thermostat to focus and bring up our consciousness about the stuff we didn’t feel we lived up to. We push the homeostatic ‘us’ back into the centre of our actions to reach authenticity again. BEST MOMENTS “Whenever you’re living by your highest priority, you are more objective.” “Nobody gets up in the morning and says I want to have less knowledge” “We want to show off our faces with pride and cover our faces with shame” “Love them, but watch out for taking credit or blame” [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.

Amir Khan: 12 Rounds With Boxing World Champion [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Discover what happens when Rob goes twelve rounds with the former light-welterweight champion of the world, boxing promoter and philanthropist, Amir Khan. Rob and Amir discuss what it takes to succeed in the world of boxing, how Amir is giving back to people in the community and how you can use money as a motivator to success. Don’t miss this exclusive interview with a world-famous boxer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a dedicated boxer has led to many amazing opportunities, such as winning medals and championships. The medals, trophies and belts which are on display in a trophy room are a reminder of all the hard work it took to get to that stage. It is a reminder that all the gruelling training programmes paid off and the rewards were reaped. The best advice for life is to stay focused, keep working hard and never give up. It is important for people to have dreams and goals that they wish to achieve in life. If you have goals and ambitions, chase them, they allow you to wake up in the morning with purpose and determination. Think where you would like to be in ten years’ time and use goals to drive you. Don’t allow hate comments on social media to get to you, do not rise to their words and waste your energy on them. If you have a large social media following you are bound to have haters. When you are successful in life, the haters are always going to be there. The love received from social media from fans destroys all the hate. Money is the motivator for everyone in life. You use it as motivation because you want your family and those around you to live a good life. Some people are not honest about money being their motivator but it comes down to the question, would you work for free? There is no shame in being money motivated, you don’t have to be motivated by money only for yourself, but to provide those you love with the means to live a good life. Appreciate every penny you earn. There are many people out there in the world who don’t have much money and who struggle to get by each day. Spending large quantities of money on material items such as watches makes you think ‘what could that money do for these people?’ You start to think that that money could be spent on better things, such as food for the poor. Rather than buying expensive items like jewellery, it is better spent on charity. BEST MOMENTS “I was 16 when I won gold at the Junior Olympics, I won the gold medal, and the best boxer award” “The day you stop getting haters is the day you think to yourself, have I still got it?” “It is nice when people know you, and they treat you a little bit more special” “ Never let people get to you. Just say thank you very much and just let it be.” ABOUT THE GUEST Amir Khan is a British professional boxer, promoter and philanthropist. He is a former unified light-welterweight world champion, having held the WBA (later Super) title from 2009 to 2012, and the IBF title in 2011. Outside of boxing, he is a philanthropist with his own charity organisation, Amir Khan Foundation. He is also a promoter and sponsor, the owner of Khan Promotions and Pakistan's Amir Khan Academy, and a co-owner of India's Super Fight League (MMA) and Super Boxing League. As a celebrity, he has also participated in several reality television and game shows. In 2017, Khan appeared on the seventeenth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Caffeine Cast: When They Say 'My Market is Saturated' [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Do you know if your market is saturated? Do you know how to overcome zero demand for your product or service? Rob discusses how you can make sure you become the best in your market, how to focus on the value your service provides and how to make your brand different and stand out from the competition. KEY TAKEAWAYS A market is not saturated until there is absolutely zero demand for the product and service anymore. There is always room for the best in any industry, whether that be the best product, service or pricing. If you constantly evolve and grow you will continue to win. If you surround yourself with media and information relating to your respective industry, it may seem like the market has become saturated, this might put you off from chasing your dreams. The reality is there is room for everybody. Even if you are in what may seem like an oversaturated market if you are the best, seek feedback and analyse your competition and do what the best do well and keep evolving with the market, then you win. Rather than asking whether your market is saturated, ask yourself “Am I passionate about this?” “Will I want to do this for a long time and endure the challenges along the way?”. The answer to these questions will allow you to proceed in your market or not. If you are entering a busy market, focus on your service, focus on how you and your brand are different and unique and that will allow you to get to the top of your market. BEST MOMENTS “Those that don’t evolve and improve, lose” “You never really know what your market is like until you’ve got real people paying real money to you” “There is always room at the top” [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.

It's okay to have a motive to want to promote yourself, your products and your services, you have to finely balance selfish v selfless motives and needs, but for your wellbeing and focus and stay sane you should ignore all the dream stealers out there. The single biggest threat to your livelihood is the opinions of other people that they are pushing out as the fact that will affect your energy and mindset, which are the most important things When somebody is giving you the advice you need to know the difference between opinion, and fact. You need to check if the person is credible in the field of which they are talking about or whether they are just offering their opinions. Be careful who you listen to too. On social media, it is wise to unfollow people who share non-factual content that could be detrimental to your mindset. You should choose to follow a small number of people who create valuable content for what your aims are.

Grant Cardone: Bankruptcy Truth Revealed! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Adapting your business to deal with the challenging times, to not only survive but thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic is essentials to success. Rob is joined by Entrepreneur, Author of The 10X Rule & Creator of 21 Best-Selling Business Programs, Grant Cardone. Rob and Grant dive into the shape of today’s economy, how to structure your business and how to deal with the haters. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cash is worth less today than it was when the US printed one hundred trillion dollars. The debt in America will go from 20 trillion to 42 trillion dollars due to COVID-19. Online business is doing better during current circumstances than before. Outbound calls for the online business have quadrupled, allowing for greater productivity than the same time the previous year. All the things you should do in a contraction is firstly consolidating all your resources, secondly, look at your assets and liabilities, thirdly is to properly assess all of your assets and ensure out if you need to reprice product or leases etc and then go about expanding your business again. Once you get to full acceptance of a problem you may face in your personal or professional life and you are able to recognise that you are in need of help, and you can ask for it and implement a strategy, then you are in full acceptance. As much as you would like everyone to love you, not everybody can or will. All you need is for you to love you. You need to focus on your family liking you and having your employees believe in you. It may frustrate or hurt you when you hear that people don’t like you or when they say untruthful things however what you need to focus on is if and how you have let yourself down and or through that. The people that adapt to this situation, that pivot and move with the times and use all their energy to shift into the next stage of their lives to mature, will make a lot of success during this crisis. This contraction will become its expansion. BEST MOMENTS “I had a lot of losses in my life, and I have been trying to make the most of my life since I was 10 years old trying to do the best I can and trying to figure it out” “Acceptance is where you develop a strategy with the help of another person.” If you are a team leader you cannot believe the worst is coming, but if you’re a boss, you need to prepare.” “What is somebody that doesn’t like me? That is really like admiration in reverse” [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 This The WORST Human Trait? Do You do this? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob discusses what one of the worst human traits to have is and we’ve probably all experienced this at some point and perhaps, you’re even guilty of doing it too? Or maybe you have been on the receiving end of it? Listen in today to find out what this trait is and how to overcome it and what you can learn from failure, struggles, pain and purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the worst traits somebody could have is the joy they feel when seeing somebody fail. It is believed that the more successful somebody is the less joy they feel when seeing somebody fail. It is a human trait to feel pleasure from somebody's failure at one point in your life. When you may be struggling the most or when you are at your least successful, feeling satisfaction when others around you are failing may occur. This may make you feel less weak and less vulnerable and better about your own situation. If you are busy focusing on yourself and busy on your own mission, you probably won’t have time to focus on the success or failure of those around you. One reason not to judge others and feel satisfaction from other people's failure and pain is that nobody is perfect in personification. Some people do not have the perception and mindset that everybody is just trying to do the best that they can. BEST MOMENTS “Why do so many people get pleasure out of other people's pain and misery?” “The more somebody is on a mission the less pleasure they get if other people are struggling” “If it is balanced, it is good to be challenged” [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.

Q&A on Building a Brand, Entrepreneur Hacks & How to Scale a Business [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In celebration of the launch of the new Facebook ‘Stars Feature’ Rob allows his followers to ask the burning questions they want answers to and helps them discover the ways in which they can grow and scale their business. Rob has been handpicked by Facebook and one of only 20 people in the world to be able to use this brand new Facebook supporters feature, so don’t miss out on this exclusive content! KEY TAKEAWAYS To build your personal brand you will need to ensure you are on all social media platforms. Linked in is great for business as it doesn’t restrict its reach only to your followers. Start recording podcasts in your field and commit to creating more content. The slow but deeper way to grow your following is to do it organically with a lot of original and consistent content. The quicker route may not gain you a loyal following. Doing lives on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram will get your name out into the industries of which you desire. If you are looking to become a public speaker, start by giving speeches for a small number of people and gradually increase these numbers. Courses on public speaking are available with Progressive, to help perfect public speaking. Local networking events are a great place to start doing small pitches. To scale your business the number one starting point is by increasing your output of marketing tools. Secondly, you need to hire more people in the sales and marketing teams, this is vital for scaling. Another way is to work on the business, not in the business as well as building your own personal brand to gain more reach for you and the business. Improve your product and service to encourage more sales and increase the gratitude of your customers which will allow them to refer people to your product, encouraging real-life testimonials. Study your competition intensely and work out what they are doing and the things they are doing well or not so well. Make sure you and your business improve upon any shortfalls you see in your competition's product or service. Study other industries that are not the same as your niche because this could allow you to hybridise and create unique products and services in your own space by watching what other people do. It is not copying, it is modelling and you can add your own flavour into the new product to create more of a hybrid model. You want to leverage Facebook groups, there are a lot of consumers in Facebook groups that you are likely not a member of as well as using LinkedIn more as the reach is not restricted allowing you to potentially reach millions of people organically. BEST MOMENTS “Speaking might sound easy and natural to those that are good at it, but actually it is not that easy to sound relaxed and calm, it takes practice” “ There’s no cost in marketing when getting referrals and recommendations. It is the lowest cost marketing but highest quality of lead” “If you copy what mentors and smart people have done you will get better results than not knowing what to do and doing it yourself, but it is good to be original and unique.” “When it comes to scaling up you need to leverage 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.
