How to get Anything for Free & even get Paid for it [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

So, here’s a prelude to one of the most controversial episodes of the Disruptors Podcast which will be shown next week! Next episode will feature Katie Hopkins, a well-known English media personality. If you’ve watched the snippets that were posted on the podcast’s social media lately, then you’ve also seen the reactions of people in the comments section. Some liked it, some got curious and are waiting for the upcoming full episode, some were dismissive about Katie’s guesting, some disagreed with her comments, and so on. Rob just stayed cool and open-minded when responding to everyone. But, today, let’s listen to Rob what he thought about this whole situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob always knew that there is a big risk interviewing big personalities like Katie Hopkins. And, when he consulted a few people just to test the waters if this will be a great idea, most said yes because they thought the discussion will be interesting. Rob doesn’t want any discussion to turn political, so it was a full-on effort for him to be careful and be neutral on any controversial stuff when mentioned. The podcast wants to feature a wide range of guests. It wouldn’t be called a ‘holistic growth’ if we only get to hear just one side. Let things challenge you and your preconceived notions.

‘The business will only grow at the speed you grow.’ In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob dives deep on how you can start and scale any business in any industry. If you ask what should be on your planning board, then first, know your ultimate vision. When you’re aware of it, deciding on the strategies, management, sales & marketing, and the product & services you’ll offer, will be manageable. Aside from these, Rob also discusses the four stages of scaling up a business, the value of your team in your business, and the benefits of self-actualisation. Everything should get easier to plan and execute since Rob got everything covered today. Start tuning in to discover more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vision – Before you plan on the technical side (operations, human resource, finance, etc.), make sure you’ve created a clear-cut vision for yourself and the business. But don’t be too anal about it you’d end up perfecting it for years before you start the business—you can start with one sentence and make it develop from there. Strategy – When you’ve already gauged who your end users are, it’s easier to plan how you can get your message, products, and services to them. Leadership – Who will execute and refine the business strategies? Management – All individuals involved must understand very well the company’s vision and objectives. The team must have the same outcome in mind, so there is always progress. Show your team members your culture and your vision, but you got to let them do their thing their own way. Create an environment where existence of mistakes is accepted, so it’s easy for them to get back from it. Sales & Marketing – Sales & marketing is very important to make your vision substantial. Marketing is generating leads while sales is converting leads. Products & Services – What are you offering and selling? Is it information, a product, or a service? The best resources when you start your business are creativity, resourcefulness, enthusiasm/energy, innovation, ability to solve problems, and flexibility. BEST MOMENTS “If you have a vastly compelling vision, that will do a lot of the selling.” “Leadership and management are totally different—usually, great leaders are terrible managers.” “Development is constantly challenging, training, and inspiring from tactical to manager to leadership.” “If you grow yourself personally, you learn to let go of things, you learn to prioritise well.” “How do we contribute to the survival of humanity? By becoming the best version of ourselves.” [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.

In this episode of TDE Rob explains how you can improve your sleep by becoming more strategic and less operational within your business. Rob also covers the importance of marketing and sales within your business and how you can make improve your systems so that your business becomes more sustainable.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark and I draw half of the profit and reinvest the rest back into the business and have done for several years. Look at what your net profits are, look at what you’ve got in your retained profits and make a goal of withdrawing X amount and retain X amount. You’ve got to feel like you’re earning enough out of your business to feel grateful to be in your business otherwise you’ll resent your business if you’re working in it all of the time and the profit is always a promise for the future but not today When you hire staff, try your best to make sure that they’re revenue-generating and their salary is paid for by their job. People will react in an emotionally volatile way and will be more susceptible to ‘get rich quick’ things when they’ve got not any money or are in debt. The more strategic and less operational you are within the business, the easier you’ll be able to sleep at night. Most people don’t focus enough on marketing, the solution to most cash flow problems is marketing and sales. Building multiple streams of leads doesn’t mean doing all streams at once. Have a budget and save 20% of that budget to spend on testing on new marketing streams. BEST MOMENTS ‘Free markets rely on competition forces, continual improvement and innovation.’ ‘Always reinvest enough money for improvements to the business.’ ‘People think salaries are a lot of risk but it’s not.’ ‘When you’ve got a wall of cash you’re more likely to make better choices.’ ‘Prepare for growth, grow, repair after growth and repeat.’ ‘Have multiple streams of marketing.’ [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.

“All depression and loneliness by definition is just 10x worse in business when you’re alone.” Entrepreneurs aren’t bulletproof in terms of their well-being. The rollercoaster of schedule, tasks, and various people you meet can take its toll on your mental health, and consequently, on your business. In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob helps you on dealing with depression in business. First off, it’s important to consult a professional when you think you’re feeling there’s something wrong. The following are just different ways on how you can understand your mind and personality to avoid any mental illness from happening and to keep your business running. A high-performance company needs individuals with healthy mental well-being. Discover more when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s OKAY to ask for help; it’s okay to be vulnerable. It doesn’t mean that you’re weak and incapable. You’re just acknowledging that you’re human—you’re not a superhuman, a god, or an omnipotent body. We face challenges, struggles and failures, and each of us are only equipped with limited resources. Accept that you need others. Don’t self-medicate. Consult professional help. If you feel any imbalance in your body and mind, then don’t hesitate to approach someone. Be wary of what might have caused this. Maybe you’re overworking yourself or overthinking about stuff. Meeting and inspiring other people can instantly lift your spirits. Get around nature—when exposed to the beauty of it, all fears, stress, and doubts are removed. Exercise also to remove all the toxins and to release happy hormones. The challenges that come in your life should be a motivation for you to better yourself and to conquer each day. It’s unpredictable when and how they come in your life. Never doubt yourself that you’ll never get past them—you need them to learn and to grow. BEST MOMENTS “You’re not alone even if you feel you are.” “Talking with other people is cathartic.” “When you let things bottle up, you become subservient or slightly weak.” “Don’t deny what you’re feeling; allow to feel what you’re feeling.” “Having critics is great because it prepares you for your higher level of your business.” [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.

In this episode of TDE Rob explains the tasks that your social media manager should be doing and why each task is important. He also breaks down how you should portion the different types of content up. Find out how you can get the most out of outsourcing your social media by listening to this episode…  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Give them the job specification, the mission and vision of your business, the key result areas, the income generating tasks and then the other tasks.   Some of the tasks should be:  Let them run with the social media that you use the least using an app or software where you don’t have to give them your passwords but can still give them access to your account.  Get them to repurpose your content that you’re not already posting into. For example, take a FB live video and create other social media posts from that.  You want them to increase the amount of posting that you already do. E.g. If you post once a week, get them to post once a day.  Have them set up your own business groups on your social media. It takes time to grow a group so get them to increase the numbers within the groups.  Use your existing platforms to grow your other existing platforms.  Have them follow all of the major influencers in your space and model some of their best work. Don’t copy, just model their work.  Get them to create a content plan for you each day so you know what they need from you and when and what content’s going out where and when.  They need to be doing keyword and headline research so you know what’s being searched for the most.  Get them to join all of the other Facebook groups within your industry and connecting with all of the influencers within your niche.   Your content should consist of about 70% content, 10% personal, 5%-10% pure engagement jacking and 5%-10% selling.   ‘The truth about entrepreneurship’ is one of the most popular headline within my niche on YouTube. ‘Will make you’ is one of the most engaging phrases on Facebook.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘You need to give them access to your accounts.’  ‘Don’t think you have to create new content all of the time.’  ‘There’s new content within your existing content.’  ‘Good artists copy, great artists steal.’  ‘Remain unique but model what works.’  ‘The purpose of shares, likes and comments is reach. The more you get, the more reach you have.’  [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.

Ask them for new Business or a renewal, offer them a discount to retake your products, services or packages. If they’re not interested then ask them for a referral, they are likely to know someone similar to themselves interested in your products or services.   Content market and build your network on Linkedin, the social media designed for business. Connect with others in your niche by searching for their job titles, build your network of similar interests and gently market your products and services to them by posting what you do on your feed. Try to avoid direct message spamming your clients.   Go to local business networking events. Google search for events in your local area regarding your niche or head into London, the UK business hub to check out networking events and meet potential new clients.   BEST MOMENTS  ‘Pick the lower hanging fruit’  ‘To know and not to do, is to not know all’  ‘Share what you do, share tips & strategies, people will naturally follow you, like you, request friendships and direct message you’  ‘If you want to get what others have not, you must do what others do not’   ‘You don’t get opportunities sat at home’   ‘I decided instead of joining others, I would create my own’   ‘Nothing moves unless you do’  [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.

In today’s episode of Disruptors Podcast, listen to Rob answer all the questions from the participants during the Mindset & Money Event at the Progressive Headquarters last July 21. It didn’t only promise to help improve their business mindset, but the event also encourages personal development.  Discover how to find you WHY, how to squash your overpowering ego, how to attain happiness, why gratefulness is the key to everything, why start honing your public speaking skills and many more. Equip yourself with the knowledge when you’re about to set out on your journey. Learn also how Progressive was able to scale up when you tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Finding your WHY is not the be-all and end-all. It’s okay to be unsure about where you’re going. You can start and continue your journey while you’re looking for your WHY.  Get rid of the external influences that break your mindset. If you’re getting too caught up with political news and current events, stop watching TV and reading the newspaper. If you’ve noticed a person who only wants to see you lose, then cut them off.  Note also that it’s also problematic hanging around people who always say YES to your ideas and opinions. You need the challenge, not just support. Surround yourself with people who you can learn from – from their experiences, stories, and wisdom.  How to move your ego out of the way? Since it will impede your growth, learn to be humble. Don’t market yourself as an expert if you aren’t.  Happiness is progress towards a worthy goal. It’s moving towards, not away from, what matters for you. It’s about overcoming the challenges and feeling amazing afterwards.  Always be grateful with not just the opportunities but also the challenges. Here are things you can tell yourself to make it easy:  It could be worse.   It’s just a first-world problem.   I get to show the world what I’m about by solving it.   There are lessons behind these problems.  Public speaking is a fundamental skill. It increases your confidence, your engagement, and your value.  There’s an infinite amount of opportunities around you. Just don’t let your fear and doubts get in the way on owning them. There are only two outcomes: success and failure. If it comes to the less good outcome (failing), then the best thing to do is to treat is an experience and to learn what you can from it.  BEST MOMENTS  “Find a paradox, then there’s the wisdom.”  “Balancing of the selfish and selfless is probably self-mastery.”  “Only hang out with people who want you to want.”  “Believe in not where you are now; believe in where you will go. Believe in not who you are but who you will become.”  “If you don’t market your products and services, then your competition will.”  “It’s easy to be grateful when things are going well.”  “My work is my art.”  “You stay motivated by having consistent time into a venture when you know you’re moving forward.”   [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.
