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.

The 6 Phases of CHANGE Vital Lockdown & Covid Concepts [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

The 6 Phases of CHANGE Vital Lockdown & Covid Concepts [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In times of change there is disruption, evolution and revolution but not all entrepreneurs are able to successfully adapt to change. In today’s episode Rob shares his focused and entrepreneurial 6 phases of change model to evolve and grow your business in times of disruption. Discover the cycle between order and chaos, learn how to disrupt rather than be disrupted and how to embrace change to evolve.    KEY TAKEAWAYS When you understand the phases of change you become more adaptable and can evolve quicker and you can be more disruptive. When you understand change you can better survive the effects of recessions, lockdowns and regulations. Disruption is when the status quo is challenged and the old habits are broken up. As a business you will be far more empowered if you disrupt your market or your industry, rather than waiting for you to be disrupted by someone or something else. Is your disrupted you’re reactive and if you’re disruptive you’re proactive. Denial is fear of change and delusion of progress. All entrepreneurs will have a phase of denial when there is change. Most people in business don’t know another way and when change affects that, denial strikes. Resistance is holding onto how things were done previously, a tight grasp of the present and past, rather than embracing the future and adapting to change. Acceptance is the realisation that change is happening and you embrace evolution and revolution rather than just standard progress in your business. Evaluation refers to the full range of solution emotions and the productive assessment of your business options. At this stage you turn painful emotion into forward actions that will help your business survive and thrive in times of change. Implementation is actioning new strategies and tactics in your business and implementing the previous chaos of change into the new order that will allow you to grow and scale your business in disruptive times.   BEST MOMENTS “Evolution is a cycle between chaos and order.” “Every empire is broken up between an old guard and a new order” “The more you can embrace change the quicker you can scale your enterprise” “When you get out of denial, the faster you will change and adapt” “Pressure forms a diamond” [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! Freedom of Speech- I've kept Quiet Until Now [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT! Freedom of Speech- I've kept Quiet Until Now [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob tackles the debate surrounding freedom of speech, a topic he’s kept quiet about for over 15 years! Should we fight for our right to speak and say what we want regardless of the consequences? Or should we be held more accountable for defamation, bullying and criticism? Join the discussion as Rob weighs in on the effects of social media, how you can harm your business and your brand by sharing your opinion and the mindset you need to evolve in a world filled with critics, haters and trolls.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom of speech is having the right and the freedom to express. The freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference and regardless of frontiers. We’re banning people on social media platforms just because we don’t agree with their opinions and their concepts. It’s every individual’s right to share their opinion in any way they wish but is it too easy for business owners to harm their brand, their business and their reputation by sharing their views on social media. If we limit freedom of speech are main rights are being taken away from us but at what point should there be accountability? Should we be allowed to bully, defame and troll others on social media without any consequences? The world would be a better place if we could disagree with people without judging them and have differing opinions without one being right and one being wrong. It’s important to surround yourself with people that challenge you and open your mind up to new ideas and new ways of thinking. This will help you to evolve.   BEST MOMENTS “Social media is for discussion and should not be used for bullying and trolling.” “Could you argue that social media cannot sensor your opinion and your posts? Is your freedom of speech being affected when people are banned from social media platforms” “Never wrestle with a pig in shit. You both get covered in shit but the pig likes it” “Should we really have freedom of speech? Is it our constitutional right? Or should we be held more accountable to the things we say?” [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.

Caffeine Cast: Is Social Media Ruining Our Lives? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: Is Social Media Ruining Our Lives? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Social media presents entrepreneurs, business owners and humanity with a great opportunity, but also a great threat. There are upsides and downsides to building your brand online and sharing your story and your journey on Social Media and in today’s episode, Rob explores the positives and the negatives, sharing his own experiences along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Social Media is a great platform for the upside of your business, it enables you to connect with your audience, your community and grow and scale your business but there are downsides too. Social media is an enabler of building your brand at a low cost and allows you to reach millions of people, build a community of customers, clients, follows and fans and solve peoples problems and all for free. Social media is worth all of the downsides because the downsides of social media will be there in business and in life regardless. There’s always an upside and a downside and all social media does is to exaggerate it. Social media is a mirror to humanity. If you use social media to help people, to build your brand and to get your message out to the masses you’re going to get more clients, find more funders, supporters and subscribers. With a vast brand, you will manifest new clients through social media.   BEST MOMENTS “If you put yourself out there on social media and share your brand and your business in an authentic way, people will hate exactly what’s great about you.” “There are inner critics and outer critics.” “Lots of people are barking on social media without doing enough research” “Too many people are using social media as a weapon” “There are upsides and downside to social media”   [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 Success Should NOT be Your Goal (This is Better) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Why Success Should NOT be Your Goal (This is Better) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

It’s wrong to focus on success if you want to be successful. Today, Rob shares his definition of success, what it means to be successful and what you need to focus on and achieve to get there. Success is made up of many different parts and in this episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob details exactly how to get there. KEY TAKEAWAYS You should not focus on being successful, you should focus on being valuable and useful because people don't care if you're successful, people don't care about your wins, people do care if you help them, they do care if you serve them, they do care if you're useful to them and they do care if you create value for them. Focusing on success attracts people who want to be successful but at no cost of work. Balance and repel the people who hustle and grind to be successful but don’t miss out on learning from them. If you make your definition of success, only the people who can relate specifically to that thing are going to relate and resonate with you. That’s why you should focus less on being successful but on progressing towards a worthy goal. Focus on profit, focus on sales, focus on marketing, focus on growth, focus on creating a great product and service that's useful to people and going out there and promoting it and selling it shamelessly consistently and you this is when you will be successful. Always market yourself. You should go out there and project and tell the world who you are and what you're offering or going to achieve. You should promise people to only give them the best of you and make it happen. Stop focusing on being successful and start focusing on achieving your goals. Set goals in your life and try to do everything in your capability to achieve them. Do not stop until you’ve achieved your goals and then go on to set bigger goals and overtime, people will start to notice your success. You have to work hard enough not to have to work hard because the problem with focusing on success is it’s selfish. The more value you add to others, the more value you will get in your own life, you will be wealthier, you will be more supported and people will want to help you. BEST MOMENTS “It is wrong to focus on being successful if you want to be successful.” “If you don't promote yourself, no one else is going to promote you.”  “Happiness is progress towards a worthy goal.” “You can't give from an empty cup.”  “Maximum growth is on the paradoxical border of equal and complementary opposites.” [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.

How to Staff Up Fast, Free and With Low Risk [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How to Staff Up Fast, Free and With Low Risk [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How do you make admin and operational staff revenue-generating? This is a question that runs in many entrepreneur’s minds, and in today’s episode, Rob shares his advice, tips, tactics and strategies on how to monetise your business, get quality staff and services for free and how business owners and entrepreneurs can scale their business.KEY TAKEAWAYS Referrals are the best way to get staff for free because you don’t have to pay for the recruitment fee. Having friends and family members refer good people to work for you saves you a lot of money. You could offer your businesses services, whereby you'll do some of your services for someone in exchange for them doing some of their services for you before you hire your first full-time staff member. This is an equal exchange in value for you and for them. Get help from friends, family, apprentices and people who might come and do some work experience for you. This liberates you from admin, which is not an income-generating task and gives you time to work on your business and focus on income-generating tasks. You can leverage your income-generating staff such as salespeople to earn two to ten times their salary with incentives as with this you get a trackable capital return. It’s wise to incentivise your non-income generating staff such as your PA or admin staff rearing a commission on money saved. Having a job description in detail of what the job entails saves you a lot of time, effort and money. Not having one which is detailed costs you because you’ll have to incur the cost of training them. BEST MOMENTS “Entrepreneurs feel like they have to do everything themselves.”  “The more commission your staff earns, the more you earn.” “Hire revenue-generating staff from day one.” “Keep the fixed costs low and variable costs higher.” “It’s not about working harder, it's about working smarter.” [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.

Caffeine Cast: Is This Life's Greatest Teacher? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Caffeine Cast: Is This Life's Greatest Teacher? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob shares with you life’s greatest teacher that’s hidden in plain sight and exists in everything that we do. Discover the persistent and perennial lesson of the law of duality in this insightful and thought-provoking episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur. Learn that with all pain comes pleasure, that every upside has a downside and how you can balance your emotions to understand life’s lessons for maximum growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you perceive that you’re getting all challenge and pain, you’re actually getting an equal upside but when you’re in a depression, struggle and challenge it will feel that that’s all that there is.   Simultaneously you will experience both the upside and downside of any challenge and opportunity but you will not perceive both sides. Wisdom and self-mastery is when you’re up, being able to see the down and when you’re down, being able to see the up.   Nature will try and give you the opposing lesson in life. If you’re careless you will receive a lesson to be careful. The universe will pull you back into balance, as all emotions are feedback and a reaction to your environment.   When you’re too high or too low you’re furthest away from growth. Maximum growth is on the border of support and challenge. Too much support and you will become juvenile, too much challenge and you will be broken, growth is a balance of the upside and the downside. BEST MOMENTS “When you’re pedestalised someone will always put you down in the pit” “The greater the challenge the more elation you feel.” “Life is simultaneously and spontaneously giving you lessons of balance all of the time” “Being brought back into balance is vital for personal growth and development”   [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.
