Sharon Carpenter: Broadcast Journalist, Producer & Entrepreneur [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob is joined by British broadcast journalist, producer and entrepreneur Sharon Carpenter. Sharon answers questions on how she got to be where she is today and what she has planned for the future. Sharon shares exclusive stories from working as a broadcaster in America to how she manages to balance her personal and professional life. Tune in today for this captivating interview with industry legend, Sharon Carpenter. KEY TAKEAWAYS When people who do not know you, ask what you do for a living what do you tell them? The first thing I tell them is that I am a broadcast journalist, that is because that is where I started out in more of the news side of things and then I moved over to the entertainment side of things, still as a journalist. Now I do so many different things, I am a presenter, a quiz show host, a producer. Does that make you an entrepreneur of sorts? Yes, it does. I have my own business called Carpenter Media and most of the work I do through that, I also create and develop television shows through that brand as well. Do you find it hard to have a relationship as an entrepreneur? It is hard, and I have definitely been in that situation, I do get very caught up with work so sometimes I do forget about the person I am with. I remember I was working on a presentation for a TV show that we eventually ended up selling to MTV. We were working around the clock and sometimes my boyfriend would notice that I was active on social media but was not replying to his posts, he didn’t understand that for me, social media also work. When you’re in that environment you have to be laser-focused. Sometimes there is just so much going on, your mind is so full that you’re not even thinking about that. I will say that I am understanding because of that, and I think it takes a certain type of person to be with someone in that mindset, that is really driven and wants to be successful. You really have to think about what is important to you, I do know people that have been all work focused and then they get to a point when they are like ‘oh I wish I had a family’ and they didn’t make time for that. Do you feel like you were able to stay true to yourself working in the media? When I first got into the industry, I was first a producer but I had dreams of being on camera. I remember talking to this big-time executive and he said to me “Oh so you want to be on TV?” to which I replied “Yes, it is a dream I have” he then told me “Well your English accent is a distraction!” I was devastated, I had also got a new agent who told me that maybe I should lose the accent and learn to speak with an American accent. I had to think to myself, is that really being me? If I was to go onto a station and start speaking with an American accent, that's not really real. I was trying to figure out, I’m English am I ever going to make it? I then remember going to see Sting perform, he was performing “English man in New York” and there's a line in the song “be yourself no matter what they say” and that's when I decided I was going to be myself no matter what they said! How do you deal with putting yourself out there on social media, without worrying about getting hate? You sort of has to get to a place where you don’t care. You need to build up your confidence, and to build up your confidence it is all about being good at different things. It has always been important to me to excel at things and produce good quality work, no matter what it is. All of that builds confidence, and the more the hate received will just become water off a duck's back. If you read something, don’t take it too much to heart, read it in a constructive way and take it in the best possible way. After getting so many comments, it has definitely helped me get a tough skin, what does it really matter? Not everybody is going to like you. Q.What is the best advice you have ever received? The best advice I have ever received was actually something that I heard somebody say. It was Anderson Cooper who said this in an interview “work harder than the rest, outwork everybody. Yes, talent is a certain part of it but really it's the amount of work you put in”. Q.What is the worst advice you've ever received? Learn to speak with an American accent! Although it could've been good advice actually. There are a couple of times where it could have been good for me to be able to do that, there is a sitcom and they were casting for a journalist in a small-town America. They really liked me but they asked me to do an American accent and that would have been okay as that's acting. So I sent them a self-tape and it was so bad! However, that's one occasion where that could have been okay to do. Q.What advice would you give to your 50-year-old self? I think what I would say to my 50-year-old self is “it’s never too late.” I think that's the big piece of advice if there's something that you’ve always really wanted to do it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. It doesn’t matter if people are out there saying ‘oh you’re too old for that’ no, go for it and make it happen! When you’re 50 your dreams are going to be different than what your dreams are now, keep on dreaming up until the end. What does the word disruptive mean to you? I think that I am a bit disruptive if I am honest. It is shaking things up, not playing by the rules, it is doing things your way and adding some spice, sass and some sauce. BEST MOMENTS “Yes you can polish up, yes you can work on being the best version of yourself, but it really is about being true to who you are” “Look back on your own work, and make sure that you’re happy with where you’re going” “Make the most out of life, no matter what age you are” [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: Boris Johnson Announces Plan B Restrictions to Combat Spread of Omicron Variant

RANT: Boris Johnson Announces Plan B Restrictions to Combat Spread of Omicron Variant

There have been more recent changes to the covid restrictions in the UK and Rob believes that now is the time we all stood together and voiced our opinions on how and why this will impact us. Listen in to this episode to hear Rob’s thoughts and start discussing what we think should be done and what we think the real solutions to all this could be. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Businesses can’t survive restriction, upon restriction and the uncertainty that comes with it. We need new solutions, these could come from the public, the business owners themselves. The government needs to listen to hear what those who are having to deal with these difficulties day-to-day think can help. Part of the problem is these restrictions are coming in without thought to so many different types businesses and with no support. Their ability to earn is being taken away from them yet taxes are rising and so is the cost of living. If many people believed the government had individuals best interests at heart, then they might be more behind the decisions they are making.   BEST MOMENTS   “Our ability to earn is being taken away from us” “The culture dies, the communication goes, you miss a lot of stuff when you work from home”   [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: Mum Pays Kid £4.50 to do Chores Right or Wrong?

RANT: Mum Pays Kid £4.50 to do Chores Right or Wrong?

Something that has both concerned and challenged Rob as a parent is how to manage pocket money and chores for his two children. He wants his children to be raised with an entrepreneurial spirit and with an understanding of hard work and money. Listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts on the subject! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Mum pays her daughter of 9 to do chores and for good behaviour. Some people disagree but if it works and teaches her about the world of work what is the issue? Perhaps the concept of rewarding good behaviour is good, but something like chores children should do anyway and this should be reserved for teaching them bigger lessons, such as paying them when they do something entrepreneurial.   BEST MOMENTS   “Traditional education with make you a living, self-education will make you a fortune” “The more valuable work you do the more the world pays you” [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.

The New Rules of Business

The New Rules of Business

Rob is issuing a warning, the world of business, money, finance and income is dramatically changing. If you can get on the right side of the biggest changes since 2008, you can win. However, if you get it wrong it can drastically impact you and your livelihood. Listen into this episode where Rob talks about the old rules of money, what has changed and the new rules you need to be paying attention to! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Rob was told that you needed patience, time and to become a success. This is simply not the case anymore. The world is global and most importantly, fast. We can connect easier and quicker than ever before and so success can come quickly too. The new rule is jumping on trends quickly, moving fast and starting now, getting perfect later. Physical assets used to be the gold standard of wealth. This is changing, you now want to monetise virtually, via NFTS, cryptocurrency and via your online presence by utilising monetisation tools on social media. It isn't just about physical investing and real estate anymore. You no longer have to be the ‘best’ at what you do, you now need to be the best at being noticed, getting engagement and being known and noticed. You need to unlearn these set rules of business you learnt 10+ years ago. The world has changed and what was best practice has changed. Get mentors who are younger than you, not just those who have more experience in the 'old ways'. BEST MOMENTS   “Now information travels at the speed of light” “Anyone can go viral at any time, the amount of followers you have now is nowhere near as important as it used to be” “Your competition is no longer your competition…competition is for losers, collaborations are for winners” "If you start a subscription programme you can start earning immediately"  [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.

Facts Tell but Stories Sell

Facts Tell but Stories Sell

Stories are so impactful in gaining sales for your product, no matter what it is. In this episode, Rob explores what he believes to be the best way to sell, via results based case studies. Listen in to hear how to get great case studies and then use them to improve and grow your sales. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The ideal type of case study is a customer who already has results. Each case study should overcome one objection.  Ask your client what they were on the fence about or what would have stopped them from buying from you. People often like to buy from people like themselves. So, you want to get case studies that are very different from you; to appeal to those who otherwise wouldn’t be as attracted to buying. It doesn’t matter how good a salesperson you are. Someone else recommending you, especially via a case study, will always sell you and your products better than you.

RANT: Omicron Variant Hitting Travel & Leisure Hard [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

We must stand together and support businesses and the economy. In this episode, Rob talks about the impact the new restrictions and changes are having, especially for smaller businesses and wants to know what can be done to help. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Travel giants like TUI and Best Western are struggling, so how do we think smaller businesses are coping? Rob supported the furlough scheme and other smaller schemes in previous restrictions. But what are the government doing now to help? Are there things we can do as individuals to help? If something happens in the world that is unforeseen and businesses can’t operate, the government needs to step in and help. It's our job as individuals to push for this and help provide ideas and solutions. Too many people don’t see the true benefits of the economy: it matters. Small businesses make up for a very large proportion of the economy, as much as 90% in some cases. BEST MOMENTS   “Business drives the economy, anything that you need to survive a business, an entrepreneur has created” “It stops when we stand up” “What are we going to do to support small businesses?” [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.
