Robin Sharma: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

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.

Learning from others mistakes is the best way for you to avoid unnecessary setbacks in business. In this episode of Disruptors, Rob reveals 5 of his biggest mistakes he personally made in business and how he has learnt from them so you don’t have to make them yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Not embracing marketing. You could have the best shop with all the latest systems, modern design and hottest products. However, if you don’t have anybody in your shop then you have no business. Marketing is getting people through the doors of your shop through generating leads, building on existing relationships to gain repeat customers. Get your story out there to build trust. Over listening to the critics. We hate to admit it but critics are vital to success, take the negative feedback as constructive criticism and use it to build on your business and improve. Having the fear and accountability of impressing critics will force you to improve but unfortunately you can’t please everybody, don’t let yourself become overwhelmed. Inconsistent management. You must understand the different styles of management and leadership and how each has their own benefits and downfalls. It’s key to implement both styles in your business to cater for different areas. Doing business alone. Rob shares how his experience in being a property investor has taught him that you cannot do business alone if you want to succeed. You need to work with people with the correct skill sets and attributes to achieve the greater goals faster than if you try to attempt everything yourself. No one is self-made, the Yin to the Yang must be outsourced. Slow reporting. Rob explains why it’s key to keep on top of your business metrics, so many businesses don’t know how they’re doing in terms of their financial position, cash in the bank, P&L etc. All of the answers as to where you need to improve and grow in your business lie in your balance sheet and your KPIs. BEST MOMENTS‘Improve, innovate, stay humble’ ‘Your worst critic of all can be yourself, the voice of past mistakes’ ‘You are not a failure, you just fail from time to time’ ‘It’s very rare that you get a good manager and good leader simultaneously’ ‘You do what makes you feel alive, what you have the greatest skill, experience and interest in’ ‘You cannot master what you do not measure’ [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.

It’s difficult to find the right person to fill in a job. It’s a needle in a haystack.  So, in today’s episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob shares with you tips so we can make the hiring process easy and as smooth.  He gives us the 4 areas we need to look at during the process.   From posting your job ad to doing the interviews to signing the contracts, you must be keen and observant as the person you’re looking for is someone who’ll play a role in advancing your business.  You’ll also have to be wary of the red flags when you’re in the search for the best candidate. An aspirant will always seem very knowledgeable and impressive during the process, so look into ways how you really can filter who fits with your company’s values, missions, work culture, and objectives.  Start tuning in to know more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  4 Areas You Need to Look at During Employment:  Post a compelling job ad: Be clear on what you are and what you want so you can attract the right people for your company.   Make your job descriptions interesting. Stay away from putting out a full 2-page list off tasks. They won’t like that. Instead, lay out your visions, values, benefits, KRAs, and then the overview of tasks.  Read their CV. Scrutinize. How was his/her career growth for the last years? Do they fit the job? Check out their references.  Do the interview. People will know what to say just to impress you. They’ve researched and will give you general answers to what you want to hear. The best thing to do is to ask the right questions and be specific.   Where to find them? Recruitment agencies, outsourcing sites, referrals, and even social media.   Don’t hire entrepreneurs or a version of yourself. Hire for the role. Base your judgment on what you really need to ensure high performance and growth.  BEST MOMENTS  “Employment is a bit of a trial and error and a bit of a lottery.”  “What you want with your job ad is to sell the right people in and push the wrong people away.”  “Finding great people and retaining them will be huge in 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.

Stop with the self-loathing. Nothing can be done and achieved if we stay in this rathole full of our own doubts, feats and insecurities. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, let Rob help you uplift your spirits and be more confident about yourself. Learn some simple steps that you can follow so you can start liking and loving yourself more. Always remember that you’re worthy, unique, and bound for greatness. Challenges and failures are going to be part of your journey. Don’t get bothered by the setbacks. Instead, accept that they happen, learn from them, and do everything to emerge victorious. KEY TAKEAWAYS Have a clear vision for what you want to be known by many and who you want to be. Rob writes the targets he wants to reach every six months. Take good care of yourself. When you’re too occupied on accomplishing your goals, we tend to impair our own health and well-being. Don’t let it happen since we need to release tension and recharge energy so we can do more. Forgive yourself and forgive others. Remember that you are unique. Believe and embrace what you see in yourself. Stop comparing yourself, your journey, and your desired success to others’. You can get inspiration ad motivation from your mentors, the well-known entrepreneurs and other people, but you can’t copy them. You are not them. Document your experiences and stories. Write it down on a journal, do a live video, or record and release it as a podcast. It’s therapeutic to release everything, and at the same time, you’re also producing content. Dare to dream. Start with something small then start achieving it. When you’ve achieved it, it’s time to plan your next goal. Master something. If you’re very good at one thing, that instantly add confidence on yourself. The emotions are not you. It’s normal that you feel; you’re a human being. 3 A – Acknowledge, Accept, and Act. Do selfless acts. Helping and supporting other people gives you so much fulfilment. Know the importance of sleep and exercise. Learn to say NO. Know what opportunities are you going to grab, and know what you’re going to reject. Make yourself happy. BEST MOMENTS “No one is perfect and we’re all going to fail frequently.” “Don’t go beat yourself up if you can’t live up to the expectations of who you want to be.” “You’re the one that suffers when you don’t forgive other people.” “Comparison is the thief of joy.” “You need to make yourself happy first.” [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.

Though a million may look like a lot, it’s achievable as long as you put in the time and effort. Don’t get terrified by the zeroes. Rob gives you the nine steps you’ll have to follow to become a millionaire before 30 in this episode of the Disruptors Podcast. Setting the target, planning carefully, and executing effectively can get you to the millionaire status that you want. To be a millionaire, you have to think and act like a millionaire. Discover more great tips when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Step 0: Define what a millionaire is. Millionaire – someone who has “net assets of a million or more.” Step 1: If you want to be a millionaire in your 30s, you got to start now. Set the goal. You can reach the millionaire status in 2-5 years, depending on how you are earning right now. Step 2: Keep you overhead lean. Live below your means. Automate your savings. Step 3: Know the amount of sales you have to make to reach a net worth over a million. If you want to be a millionaire, you need at least 5 million in sales. Step 4: Re-invest profits. Target the sales which can give you twice of what you need, so you can re-invest the rest. Step 5: Have a millionaire mentor. Learn from people who have the same journey and goal as yours. Leverage their mistakes and learn how they achieved their success. Step 6: Be great at marketing. Generate leads effectively as they are what bring you more sales. Understand what your customers’ needs and wants are.  Step 7: Leverage the internet. The internet is a great tool to scout for more resources, test your ideas, increase your sales, etc. Step 8: Create multiple income streams. An average millionaire has 3 income streams. But before you diversify, make sure your income flow is already stable in your first income stream. Step 9: Leverage tax breaks. Know what you can offset. You can find information about these on the HMRC website. BEST MOMENTS “Start now and have enough time.” “Set a goal of when you want a millionaire by.” “People think that they can just make the profit and draw it all.” “You become the people you spend the most time with.” “Leverage the internet to make a million as quickly as possible.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES HMRC UK 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 conversation with Theo Paphitis, retail magnate and entrepreneur, Rob puts forward questions from his own community and followers. The discussion provides an illuminating insight into the life of an individual who is instantly recognisable as one of the Dragons from the Dragon’s Den business programme. Theo shares his experience of retail and how his journey and expertise have been shaped through his wide-ranging experiences, listen in now   KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you value a business? It’s very simple everyone values a business differently you have to take some of your own values into the valuation. My pound is worth the same as your pound but if I’ve got something more to give to the business then my £1 is worth more. When you have no money and no experience how do you get started? If you are bringing passion, enthusiasm and a good work ethic this could be enough to get attention. How can someone believe in themselves more to pitch their ideas, raise finance? If you lack the belief and confidence then you shouldn’t be doing it. When you are running your own business there are lots of challenging times and you need to draw on your inner strength, confidence and self-belief to be able to continue. If you haven’t got the basics your chances of success are even less What is the future of the high street, retail and how will it affect e-commerce? It's going to remain tough we are going through structural change in the way the consumer spends their money. The consumer is telling us as retailers that they want to interact in different ways. As retailers, we must respond and interact with those people in the way they want us to interact being led by technology. What does it take to be successful in business? It's not ever just one thing but you must have the drive, passion, ambition, the common sense that is not common, the resilience to get up when you are down, the will to succeed and also the ability to identify the right industry and the right business to enter in the first place. I started with nothing, worked hard, had some breaks and I'm now in the fortunate position of only investing in projects that really excite me.   BEST MOMENTS ‘A lifetime is all our lifetimes and we each have different experiences’ ‘As a retailer, you are going to be up to your elbows in muck and bullets for a good few years yet’ ‘The value of the physical is very much in the service’ ‘We had some incredible highs and lows and I wouldn’t change it for the world’ ‘Having a small business can be very lonely’ Theo Paphitis Instagram  Theo Paphitis Facebook Theo Paphitis Twitter Small Business Sunday(SBS) [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.

Everyone tells you to hustle and bustle, but there’s really no assurance it will bring you success. If nothing else, only weary from the repetitive routine is what you get. It’s time to work smart and to value your time. Being busy on the wrong things shows no work-life balance. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob shares how you can achieve work-life balance. There is no one-shoe-fits-all kind of arrangement that we can all based on. Every individual handles their time differently depending on their values and priorities. These values also change as we grow older, so it’s important to always re-evaluate. Learn more great tips today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Achieving work-life balance depends on your focus and your priorities. For those who are in their 20s, they have more free time for everything they want. But for people are in their 40s who already have a family, a lot of their time goes to their family and less time for leisure. Work out on what your three highest values are. Figuring out how to achieve work-life balance depends on those three. Having a balanced family dynamic also plays a role. When you know what you and your partner want and work for, it’s easier to make plans and decisions. Your values don’t have to be of same level. As long as you have both deep understanding on how it will be, you’re all set. Compartmentalise your diary/planner when scheduling. Focus on KRAs and income-generating tasks. Then, leverage tasks that aren’t that important and can be done more effectively by someone. This gives you more time for rest and leisure activities. BEST MOMENTS “Where your focus goes, your energy flows, and results show.” “It’s wise to sit down with your partner and work out what each of your 3 highest values are.” “Having this work-life balance is about doing the meaningful things of highest priority, maybe highest income generation, to make you feel alive and fulfilled.” “It’s not about multi-tasking. It’s not about doing a million things. It’s not about trying to do everything. It’s about doing the 3 high priorities and outsourcing everything else.” [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.
