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.

Alan Barratt: Grenade Founder Gives Vital Advice for Entrepreneurs [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Alan Barratt: Grenade Founder Gives Vital Advice for Entrepreneurs [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this inspiring and energising episode, Rob interviews Alan Barratt, entrepreneur and founder of one of the fastest growing weight management, energy and lifestyle brands in the world, Grenade. They talk about Alan’s entrepreneurship journey, his many successes and what advice he would give to entrepreneurs, particularly those who are young or are just starting out.   KEY TAKEAWAYS People who start up amazing brands probably don’t initially start with this in mind, they just did what they loved and that translated into their business. Alan believes if you focus on your brand and making good decisions then you will find success. It will always take hard work and dedication but if your passion is there you won’t struggle to make it work each day. Treat all people with respect. Consumers, suppliers, employees, everyone. Alan’s first entrepreneurial enterprise was when he was still at school. He was selling cakes in the playground, when he got found out, the head teacher said to his parents that Alan would either end up in prison or become a millionaire! Being fearless is an attribute Alan has that he believes got him to where he is today. He has always just gone for the ideas in his head, listened to his gut and not let anything hold him back. Being a young entrepreneur is an advantage, including not having money. Having a lot of cash behind you can make you less creative and less disruptive. The generational differences are more amplified now than ever before. Especially if you compare those who have been born into and only grown up with social media and the internet –vs- those who have only approached it in adulthood. All brands are extensions of their founders and owners. One thing Alan has always injected into Grenade is his sense of fun. This is why he has always enjoyed what he does so much but also why the brand is able to ‘get away’ with more and is loved by so many.   BEST MOMENTS  “I don’t want to limit what’s possible” “I’m a huge believer in timing, it’s the one thing in business you can’t change”   “I just learnt how to hustle”   “How exciting to just come into the world and have youth on your side”   [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.

Floyd Mayweather: Exclusive Interview on Logan Paul, Money Secrets & Next Boxing Fights [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Floyd Mayweather: Exclusive Interview on Logan Paul, Money Secrets & Next Boxing Fights [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather joins The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast LIVE to discuss his mindset and motivation to achieve success throughout his undefeated boxing career and smart money investments. Rob and Floyd dive into the value of self-preservation, the need for continuous growth and why the comeback is always bigger than the setback. Listen in to another exciting episode with the greatest boxer of all time who has an estimated net worth of half-billion dollars!   KEY TAKEAWAYS Floyd believes that to be great, you have to push yourself there. You need to put in the hard work and dedication in order to achieve great things. It’s very easy to judge people based on others opinions, Floyd is often misunderstood because of this. Learn to make your own decisions about people but most importantly make sure you are happy and true to yourself. Floyd believes whole heartedly with Rob’s tagline, if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything. He knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without the many risks he has taken. Taking each day and it’s challenges as they come is how Floyd stays motivated and focused on the tasks at hand. Otherwise it would be easy for him to become overwhelmed with all of the different things he has happening in his life. Betrayal can be difficult to deal with. But Floyd says if you can be the bigger person, it’s easier to come out the other side. An entrepreneur to Floyd, is someone who is independent and who always find a way to make what they want work. You don’t have to be rich or wealthy to be an entrepreneur.   BEST MOMENTS “I push myself to be great” “You don’t get to Olympic games not taking a risk” “The unconditional love I’ve got for my children, no money could buy that” “I really didn’t know Logan Paul and I really didn’t know Jake Paul”   [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.

Why ‘Content’ is NOT ‘King’ (& What Really is) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Does creating content make you feel inspired or overwhelmed? Rob doesn’t believe content is king, marketing is. Marketing is the single most important aspect in ANY business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Repurposing is the queen. If you aren’t already repurposing your content then you are wasting time! Converting is key. If you aren’t converting sales, are you doing quality marketing and are you doing enough of it?   Content can only be king if you are using it as part of your marketing strategy. For example, showing a problem your ideal client has and bridging this content into a solution of yours, such as attending one of your webinars.

Mark Victor Hansen: How Entrepreneurs Can Inspire & Change The World [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

“If everyone learnt how to be an entrepreneur young they could be rich forever” Today Rob speaks to Mark Hansen, an entrepreneur, author and speaker. They talk about the importance of entrepreneurism, it’s role in society and how they can inspire the next generation to move the world to a better place.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark is great at networking and connecting with people on a real level. Mark is also an incredible speaker, goal setter and author. Rob has been helped and inspired by him in many ways and for this he thanks him. Everyone can be an entrepreneur and a leader. Everyone has the ability to be successful, especially if they start when they are young. When you are young you don’t see or know failure in the same way. You are more willing to take risks and often don’t even consider the concept of not succeeding in something. Ask yourself the right questions. About who you are, about others and about god. You will wake up things inside you that you didn’t know you had. You have so much more to give than you know.   Your input creates your output. You need to think about, and carefully choose, what you consume in the way of TV, social media and the people who surround you too.   Young entrepreneurs have every advantage. They have 360 degrees of potential, they can choose whatever direction they want and have nothing to lose.   One of most important things you can do to be a successful entrepreneur is to be customer centric, if you pair this with finding your niche, you are almost guaranteed success! BEST MOMENTS  “I wish every one of these kids would share their stories”   “I didn’t know anything, but I didn’t know I couldn’t succeed”   “You need to have a prosperity contest”   “You’ve got to say yes to potential, you’re full of potential,  you’re full of naive wisdom if you decide to claim it” [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.

7 EPIC Business Fails That Kill Your Growth [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

7 EPIC Business Fails That Kill Your Growth [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this episode Rob lists 7 mistakes you can make in business and the impact these have on your ability to grow and scale.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Mistake no1 - Not doing enough partnerships or collaborations, you aren't then exercising leverage and you are attempting to do everything alone. You see everyone as competition rather than working with people in the same space as you. Mistake no2 -Not building a team is a sure way to fail to scale! You need talented people around you to help build you business to the next level. Mistake no3 - Not prioritising. You don’t know what tasks you should be focusing on and what you should be delegating and outsourcing. Mistake no4 - Not being on enough platforms. Which means you don’t have enough distribution, ads or audience. Mistake no5 - Not generating prospects. You might feel like you are doing what you are supposed to be but there will be a reason you are not converting interest into income! Make sure you are turning engagement into a way to make money. Mistake no6 - Not having proper processes and systems. Mistake no7 - Lack of profit. You have to focus on profit, revenue is mostly vanity, profit is sanity! The smaller you are the bigger your profit margins should be, as you scale they will become smaller but you should still be lean and very profitable! BEST MOMENTS “If you want to properly scale you need outsourcers, staff, you need to build a team”   “You need to be on multiple platforms increasing your distribution”   [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: Why ‘Focus on ONE Thing to be Successful’ is Wrong. Do this instead.. [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In any one moment you can only do one thing, which is the reasoning behind ‘focus on one task’ but you should never just focus on one business model!   In this episode Rob explores the idea of diversifying your business and why ‘focus on one thing’ is out of date advice and can actually be dangerous.   If you want to scale your business quicker, faster and sign up to Rob's FREE zoom masterclass where he goes into depth on how to go from being a 7 figure company to and 8 figure company: www.robmoore.com/8   KEY TAKEAWAYS We are now in a decentralised economy, we are also decentralised in media forms, this is disrupting big business and institutions. Rob uses his 70, 20, 10 model to diversify his business. This is how to balance your tasks, business and things you do. Spend 70% on the main task, 20% on your secondary business and 10% on your new future business. Then you can start to systemise these things so that you can then look at something new. There is no such thing as multitasking successfully. You can ‘net time’, for example leveraging one piece of content for multiple platforms, but you cannot multitask and focus on multiple things at the same time.

Glenn Jacobs: WWE Legend Kane on How to Become a Great Leader [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this episode Rob speaks to Glen Jacobs, entrepreneur and WWE legend, on how to become a great leader and how failure is a big part of success. Listen in today to hear all about why we need to push ourselves out of our comfort zones and endure our failures to go onto be successful.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The most important thing we can do to raise entrepreneurial kids is to encourage them to dream. To give them the comfort to step outside their comfort zone and to learn and discover what they enjoy and what they are good at. Being around people from various age groups provides such a unique opportunity, to learn and for inspiration. Younger people especially have a vibrancy and energy we can take creativity and stimulation from. Debt isn’t inherently bad. Having debt can mean you have access to capital you wouldn’t otherwise be able to have, it can be a stepping stone to greater things. You just have to have a plan and ensure it is necessary. In small business you have to be three people, the technician, the manager and the entrepreneur. A lot of people start a company because they really enjoy doing something e.g baking, but don’t think about the other roles they will have to play in order for it to be a successful business. There is a lot of negativity in the world right now. Glenn believes that many of the social issues the USA is facing at the moment is due to a lack of hope and optimism. People do not work towards solutions, instead they complain and blame others which is destructive and not helpful.
