Piers Linney: Dragons Den Star & Disruptive Entrepreneur [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Disruptive entrepreneur Rob Moore interviews, Secret Millionaire and Dragons Den investor, experience lawyer, investment banker and fund management manger, Piers Linney to discuss what entrepreneurs are, how they operate and how to raise money if you are just starting up. Get expert advice on how to pitch, how to grow a small business, what marketing works in today's market and much, much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Small business owner and entrepreneur is not the same thing. If you've got a corner shop, or you're a freelancer, or you got a small business and it makes 20, 30, 40 grand a year and the chance of going outside of that are pretty slim, you don't want to hire anybody else, you want it to be your thing, you are not an entrepreneur, entrepreneur is about taking risks in the hope of profit. Somebody that may have an existing business and they look to grow that business. Entrepreneurship is also a mindset as well as a definition. Like having ideas, being creative, being maybe a little bit relentless, you push for more having multiple businesses, you sit on more than one board and you put your finger in a few businesses. There's a spirit of entrepreneurship. Who is the right person to become an entrepreneur? You don’t have to be born a leader or an entrepreneur, you can learn these skills, you can put the people around you to make sure that you fill all those sorts of skills gap so you can become a more rounded entrepreneur. How to get funding during a start-up. You can get money from borrowing your friends and family members. You can also get the money by getting loans from financial institutions like banks. You can also pitch your ideas to entrepreneurs and see if you can partner with them and raise the money together. Pitching. To people you don’t know, you have to bring out your A-Game when pitching to them so that they can be carried away by the pitch and agree to fund your project. Ask yourself these questions, why would someone want to invest in your project? Why would someone buy your product? What are the key elements of a really good pitch? The important thing about a really good pitch is to understand where you are and who you're pitching to. Do thorough research on what you want to pitch, do your homework well. You must be a good communicator. Knowledge and skills. The business that you are entering into or starting, do you have the right skills to do it and be successful, have you invested your time and money in trying to learn what this business entails? You need to be educated with the right skills for you to succeed in that business. Marketing. If you ever want your business to grow a lot more, you have to market your business or product through advertisements. You can hire someone with these kinds of skills to market your product and be sure that this will increase your sales very much. When you leverage social media, you can reach more customers quicker than ever. People moan about social media, but you can reach millions of people and you don't even have to pay. Facebook is free. LinkedIn is free. Of course, it depends on your product or service. You can't be a personal brand if you haven't got a product or service or a brand or a story that young people have a story to tell. That's where you sell more. What is scale up? Scale-up is any business that has the ambition to grow. So that means that if you're making two million this year, next year you want to be making seven million, next year 15 million and so on. Can you work hard and smart and have a balanced life that you still have time for your family? Yes, you can. As long as your mental health and physical health are balanced, in that you're going to gym, you're generating ideas in your head and implementing them in your business and making money, you can put aside some amount of money and go out on a vacation with your family and have some fun. Mentorship. As an entrepreneur, you need to have at least one mentor or more because there’s always a time where you are in need of a good professional advice or a hurting truth that maybe you don’t want to here or other people are afraid to tell you that might help you in shaping up your business or implement an idea that you have. Mentors help you to make very informed decisions on what you are about to do. If people refuse to fund you, should you give up? No, send the pitch out, have negative feedback or no feedback and keep sending out the same thing. Go look at it and see if they missed a point and if you can clarify that it and change your presentation and iterative constantly. What is a successful business? This is when your employees are happy, your teams happy, and the customers are happy because, with this, you're more likely to be successful. BEST MOMENTS "No company starts up to be a start-up, you start to create a sustainable financial model, a product or service that solves a problem, people are willing to pay a price for and you can deliver that product or service at a lower cost, which means you got profit." “If you know anything worth doing, is worth doing, it doesn't matter how long it's going to take." “Put yourself out there a lot in the social media platforms if you want to grow. You’ll be rewarded for volume over quality.” “We live and learn.” “Society is not fair until the top of it looks like the bottom of it.” “The problem we've all got is, if you're riding the wave, you'll go with it. If you're not, you get left behind.” “Business should be a force for good.” “The world's biggest problems are the world's biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs, you solve those problems, and you’re a billionaire.” “A lot of people raise quite a lot of money for nonsense, the best thing that they could be good at is the pitching itself.” “Don’t raise money unless you have to.” “If you change the number of scale-ups in the country by just 1%, it generates millions of jobs, generates billions in GDP. It changes our economy massively. So scale-ups are the ones that need to be supported probably the most.” “Do something that you enjoy doing.” “Disruptive means staying one step ahead of yourself, and one step ahead of your industry or your market or your model.” ABOUT THE GUEST Piers Linney was born in Stoke-on-Trent but grew up in a former mill town in Lancashire where he attended the local comprehensive school. His mother is from Parish of St. Barbados. His father is from working-class Manchester. Although he is often referred to as an entrepreneur and a TV personality following his appearances as an investor on the prime-time BBC show ‘Dragons' Den' and the Channel 4 series, ‘The Secret Millionaire', he has a professional background in law, investment banking, and fund management.

I don't think I was a great husband, I'm impatient, I love my work. I don't think I love anything as much as I love my work so I don't know what that says."  "56% of marriages end in divorce and yet it's assumed that it's something you should do and to add to that, 86% of people who get divorced are remarried within five years of their divorce."  "The people I represent you've never heard of and they could buy those celebrities 10 times over. They drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, they wear a Timex watch. They're not posh. They're just people who look like they're no one."  "I divorce the person we marry, and I think that there's a lid for every pot. I think that it's really less about the individual character... it's also about finding someone that's complimentary to you."  "What would appear to be a red flag may be something that requires a polarity.

He shares stories about celebrity clients, cars that appreciate versus depreciate and gives tips for aspiring collectors. Tom Jaconelli REVEALS: That he still gets excited about special cars, the Bugatti Veyron was his first supercar experience as a child and remains one of the most exciting cars he's ever seen. How he helped grow the family business to £100 million in annual turnover, with their showroom currently holding over 100 cars worth around £30 million.

I want maybe a bit of crypto and they're now thinking, I also want a car portfolio."  "For me, if I had 50 grand, I'd be probably looking more at some of like the German muscle cars, like the C 63 AMGs, maybe even an RS six V 10. You know, they don't make them anymore." "People say you shouldn't mix family and business, don't they? I think you know, being a family member of this business, you are more driven by it." My dad, Paul Elli. He is the ultimate. He's the goat, he can sell ice to the Eskimos.

Rory Stewart | How to Fix Broken Britain | How Rory Stewart Would Fix Politics in the UK

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by former UK politician Rory Stewart for a discussion on the state of British politics, including government inefficiency and the rise of populism. Rory Stewart gives his take on everything from the UK's economic challenges to Trump's leadership style, drawing from his own experience in government and talks about how we could fix politics in the UK. They also discuss inequality, political communication and the many flaws in democracy and politics right now. Rory Stewart REVEALS: His thoughts on Trump Why many Britons feel uncomfortable and awkward about the UK at the moment The UK isn't in rapid decline but stagnating whilst the US grows faster Why current inequality in Britain stems from the 1980s Thatcher-Reagan era, where privatisation without regulation or monopoly prevention allowed private companies to exploit public utilities Why politicians deliberately lie during elections Our current democratic system is broken How government is exponentially more complex than even large businesses, making it nearly impossible for voters to understand its full complexity. How the most successful disruptors in politics (like Thatcher) succeed BEST MOMENTS "During the second World War, our economy contracted by 45%. We were about half as rich in 1945 as we were in 1939. Where the UK is, is it's been through a phase of kind of 10, 12 years of being pretty stagnant at a moment where the US has been growing fast." "The top three people in the US, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, their wealth is equivalent to the bottom 50% of the entire American population. They now have more money than 160 million American people. Thank God we haven't reached those levels yet." "I kept saying to them, what are you doing? Right? All of you know, looking at your spending plans that you're gonna have to put up taxes and borrow more money because you've got a 70 billion pound black hole and all of them denied it all the way through the election." "The problem in America and Britain is we never seem to get the balance right and boy has the balance gone wrong with the billionaires, they have created virtual monopolies. Think about Google, it’s got us all over a barrel."  "I don't know whether I'd go for Prime Minister again but I'd definitely like to look at doing something for the country. I think there's no job in government, no job in the world, more interesting than government that touches lives more directly."      VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors 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.

Lewis also shares his thoughts on potential market crashes, cryptocurrency as well as the controversial figures shaping today's economy including Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried. Michael Lewis REVEALS: Why a potential future market crash could be catastrophic if triggered by a lack of faith in the US government That financial markets are rigged Why you should ignore and stay away from crypto His thoughts on why Elon Musk is power drunk and ignorant The real reason neither U.S presidential candidate addressed the debt crisis The underlying trait of all successful people What he thinks of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried BEST MOMENTS "If it's a government started crisis... like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government, in the U.S. government debt then it's much bigger than the financial crisis because there's nothing to put it out." "We have a president here whose M.O. is to destroy trust. He's really good at it, he finds places where people trust people or institutions that are trusted, and he wrecks them." "The markets work, it's constant game theory, once something's identified, it's no longer useful and it's a game where the rules change every day."  "Is Elon Musk a net benefit to humanity or a megalomaniac?"   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors 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.

"I love this country, it's given me so much opportunity. I'm going to stay and fight and I still think we can turn this around." "We've got to change the culture in this country, return our culture to one where success is viewed as a good thing. Stop hating landlords, stop hating business owners, stop hating millionaires." "We need to be clear that if you come here illegally, you will never get the right to remain under any circumstances and you will be deported to the country from which you came." "When I first came into politics... I said this is still a country where people literally risk their lives to come to, even from France. If we're not careful, we will no longer have a country that people fall over themselves wanting to come to."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors 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 he minimises his income to avoid taxes, preferring to build wealth through appreciating assets BEST MOMENTS "I think Bitcoin is an unbelievable call option on the future of digitising planet Earth and without me paying an extra penny, it is an insurance policy”. "Most of the people on this planet that have a shitload of money, they didn't go to school.” "I call them degradings accounts, not savings accounts...because they're not savings you are losing your money, but being marketed by the banks and the governments that you're protecting your money."

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by Tom Hartley Jr., one of the world's premier luxury car dealers. From selling his first Porsche at age 12 to now managing a billion pound inventory of luxury cars, Tom shares his knowledge on the exclusive world of rare Ferraris, McLaren F1s, and Formula One classics. Tom reveals which supercars are overhyped, which are under appreciated gems and shares insider investment tips. REVEALS: The greatest supercar of all time The holy grail of classic Ferraris Why Formula One cars are significantly undervalued investments Why not all classics are worth the hype That he strongly dislikes electric vehicles, believing they'll only last about 10 years before needing expensive battery replacements, unlike classics that can last centuries. How Ferrari has evolved beyond being just a car company to become a true luxury brand What cars he recommends for investors BEST MOMENTS "I'm not really one who has many regrets because I've always been fortunate enough in life”. "Carrera GT is the best sounding car of all time. You talked about a V10 Formula, Formula 1 derived engine, and it sounds phenomenal when you start it up, but it sounds way better when you drive it." "I think Ferrari are so on a different level that they are a luxury brand. They should be more associated with something that's within LVMH. Their rival is more Hermes than maybe Lamborghini." "If somebody gave me a trillion... I would [wake up] tomorrow morning and do exactly the same as what I'm doing today because I'm buying and selling the world's greatest cars.

Richard shares his eight secrets to building a successful business, discusses his current passion for helping medium sized companies scale up and explains why he's investing £200 million of his own money into promising businesses. Richard Harpin REVEALS: How he started HomeServe with £50,000 of life savings How he nearly went bankrupt His key secret, to copy and pivot, finding successful business models and improving upon them He has always been entrepreneurial, starting by breeding rabbits at age 5, becoming "Ricardo the magician" at age 9 and establishing about six businesses before founding HomeServe at age 20 Why Richard is focused on helping the UK's 168,000 medium sized businesses scale up Why the UK lacks support for companies transitioning from startup to large enterprise. Why businesses need revolution at the start, but should focus on constant evolution as they grow BEST MOMENTS "I think the UK is the best place to run a global business, I think it's a great place for entrepreneurs to start a business... The only issue is, as a country, we're not that good at scale ups."  "I did [pay a big load of tax when selling the company] and I was happy to pay it because capital gains tax is at a reasonable level. I don't believe in all these entrepreneurs that sell up and move to Jersey or Monaco." "We're taught at school that copying homework is bad, we might get expelled for it. In business, I think copying is good."  "Disruption is what you do at the start of your business when you're inventing the model... But once you've done it, don't disrupt twice, that is dangerous, just keep evolving that model."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors 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.
