Are you worried about how an urgent pandemic will affect your business? It’s a challenging and uncertain time but it’s in these times that not only can your business survive, but it can thrive. It’s a chaotic time for business and disruption is everywhere, but if you know how to plan, react and see the opportunities that it brings you can be successful throughout it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many ways in which you can thrive through this pandemic. Firstly you can start by not cancelling things that don’t require cancelling. The reality of business is that your competitors are probably scared, scaling back and cancelling things. If you have 50% less competition you have actually now got a bigger market than before. People like to think that everything stops, which is incorrect, things might just slow down. You may be able to benefit from this pandemic if you react quickly to the current changes and think of the best outcome but plan for the worst and think about how you can grow through this. Many of the biggest companies in the world are born from a recession because the playing field is level and everyone starts again. There is going to be a new type of market and a new type of client as well as new opportunities from a drop in the stock market. Make a plan for your business during this time. Having 2 or levels of plans for how the market and world is changing will help you to be ahead of the curve and pivot at a moment's notice. Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy, as well as not just surviving but being able to thrive during chaotic times.   BEST MOMENTS “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” “Thrive when others are trying to survive” “For some companies and some entrepreneurs, this is going to be their best time ever”   [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 do you become successful? There’s no one size fits all formula, but there are some essential elements that you need to know about if you want to become successful. In today’ episode, Rob interviews Scottish billionaire and founder of Clyde Blowers Capital, Jim McColl OBE. Rob and Jim discuss what it takes to become successful, how to motivate yourself, how to educate yourself, how to have an unwavering self-belief and how to take risks. Tune in today to discover the insider secrets to entrepreneurial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Things you need to do for you to be successful. Everyone in life has his or her own needs, someone wants a big house, someone wants a nice car, someone wants to buy land or property, these are the things that drive us to work hard, but the extent of how hard you work depends on how much you want that thing. Have that belief that your ideas are achievable even when people think that your ideas are crazy. You must have self-belief because when people think that your ideas are crazy, you should know that they are big enough and you have to prove them wrong for not believing in your ideas and you have to prove yourself right that you have an achievable, big idea. Taking the first step in doing what you wanted to do is the most essential thing you can do in your business and personal life. Don’t just sit there and keep on saying that you have a business idea and you are not doing anything about it. Your idea could be the next big thing in future. Take the first step and do something about it, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. This is the key to becoming the next big entrepreneur. You should also have that hunger for education, be willing to learn so that you can acquire the knowledge to build a business and run it smoothly and scale-up. Be willing to learn from the best and from people who have achieved success in their lives and their business lives as well. Start your business and do as much homework as you can to mitigate the risk, understand the market, be the expert in the sector you're in, do as much as you can and learn the competition in the markets, the products they're looking for and then make the decision. Be a person that is always willing to take risks in everything that you do because you can never be an entrepreneur or you can never achieve anything if you are not a person that takes risks. Big opportunities always come with great risks. Taking risks gives you pressure, you become responsible for more and more people. You feel a responsibility for them as you grow and it gets to a point where it's not all about you anymore. If you do something crazy and it doesn't work, that's fine if it's just you that it impacts, but if you've got hundreds or thousands of people that would be damaged, that becomes a real burden. And that's what makes you lose sleep at night. Have a positive visualization and have a clear vision, a storyboard for where you're going. When you start your business, you need to have a plan of what you want it to achieve or where you want it to be in a certain amount of period. Having a plan helps you to stay focused on your goals all the time. For you to be successful in your personal life and your business life, you must be willing to sacrifice a lot of your time and be willing to put in hard work. You have to be willing to get tired. Choosing the right people to work with is also a key element to having a very successful business. BEST MOMENTS “The business that you're in is the best business to be in.” "Bonuses of doing better in your business, you get to meet some nice people and interesting people." "The need for something is what that drives you forward.” “If people do not think your ideas are crazy, then your ideas are not big enough.” “Sometimes the bigger risk is not doing something.” “Go big or go home.” "Awards should mean nothing because they don't change who you are." “Most people don’t want to see you being successful.”   ABOUT THE GUEST James Allan McColl OBE is a Scottish businessman and entrepreneur. He was born on 22 December 1951 (age 68 years) Carmunnock, Glasgow, United Kingdom. He is responsible for the development of Clyde Blowers. In 2007, he was placed tenth on the Sunday Times Rich List in Scotland. He is best known for Clyde Blowers Capital.

There are three essential elements every entrepreneur must master in order to build a unique, disruptive, powerful business brand and in today’s episode Rob Moore shares and explains these three tried and tested elements to success. Miss this episode at your own risk. KEY TAKEAWAYS Three elements of building a unique, disruptive, powerful business brand. A full competitor analysis. Try to study your peers, the great artists of the time or even in history, don’t be driven by ego and saying that you want to be unique. Having an ego and saying that you know it all, you will miss out on some influence or some movements or some trends that are happening at the moment and this may lead to a very huge loss to you or your company. Copy the great or people who have achieved greatness in their lives if you have to because you will see great results in your business and personal life. If you want to build a great business, you're wise to learn from businesses that have gone before you that have blazed the trail, that has made mistakes, that have gained experience that are more resilient, they have more reach, more impact, they have wisdom and they have resources. The second element is to study external business models and sources and get your inspiration outside of your niche.Borrow influences in those external, non-niche business models and bring them into your business model. And what that does is that creates something that your competitors do not do. You borrow the best bits of your competitors, which is element one, but then you create an external, non-competitive marketplace, strategies, tactics, influences and creativity and that’s when you've got something unique. The third element then of creating a unique business and or brand is you and your uniqueness and your inspiration and your personality and your flavour. Who are you? Who are you naturally? How do you express yourself and who you are? Honour who you are. Honour what you've done. Honour what you know. Honour what's unique about you. Honour your strengths. Honour your weaknesses. Honour your flaws. Honour your own experiences. BEST MOMENTS “Good artists copy great artist’s steal.” “Be great by modelling the traits of the greats and modelling competitors.” “If you learn from everyone, even outside your niche, then you're even more unique.” “Learn from competitors, who you perceive screw people over, or you think do business badly or wrong, or learn from people whose values are completely different from you.” “If you've gone to the point where you have learned from your competitors, you've learned from slightly wider niche and you're learning from a completely different niche that you're inspired by, if you're at that level already, then now start studying people you think you didn't like.” “Don’t do what your competitors do badly, but model what they do well.” “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.” “Learn from everyone above you, elite, equal to you, below you, be an open-minded person.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this episode Rob tackles the sensationalisation of the current pandemic of COVID-19 and how important it is to stay positive and productive during this time. If you have been feeling low about this urgent situation, tune in today for an uplifting view and ideas for what you can to do to thrive. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is very easy to blame the media in causing such panic and hysteria within the public in regard to Coronavirus. Much of the information is conflicting, however, it is argued that more panic has been created not by the media, but by social media. Many people use their social media platforms to voice their opinions, be careful not to take opinions as facts. It is vital that you inoculate yourself from distractions, opinions and bad energy. In this time it is about thinking to yourself what more can I do? And what more can I give? In regards to your business community, rather what less you can do. Take this opportunity to look at ways you can thrive and scale the current economical climate. You need to think about what helps you the best in this current situation. What is best for you, your family, your clients, followers, and fans. Whatever doesn’t help you, you should unfollow and ignore it. This situation could trigger recession and reduced asset values, but you have to look at it in a holistic and balanced fashion and not just a negative way. Look for the upside.   BEST MOMENTS “Some of the critics are out in droves. Criticising what you’re doing or what you’re not doing” “Everyone has an opinion, and that is okay” “Social media has created a far bigger storm than any other 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.

Have you ever wanted to reinvent yourself, embrace change and change your direction in life? Rob talks us through the best ways to evolve your mindset, progress in business and in life and disrupt and challenge yourself.  Working alongside renowned British businessman Gerald Ratner, famous for making one of the biggest gaffs in business history, Rob looks at the amazing way he has managed to reinvent himself, pivot into other industries and become a success again and again. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every challenge that you perceive to have a downside also has an upside. It may be easy to look at another person’s life and be able to see the downside and upsides, but the true wisdom is being able to do this in your own life. Embrace change. Many people fear change and have the need for control which can create a lot of tension. If you learn to embrace change and see it as a thing of evolution and progress then you can organically or dramatically reinvent yourself depending on your situation. Study trends. If you can get a sense of where the world is going, you can embrace a new media, market, and abilities to earn a living. Old dogs can learn new tricks. In reality, you can learn better when you get older, It’s just about your mindset. You need to be in the mindset that it doesn’t matter what age you are, you can always learn a new skill. Curiosity is about wanting to learn new things and being fascinated with the world and seeing new opportunities. That is the greatest open mindset for learning and development. Unlearning bad habits. Often we imagine that we know something, and we don’t. Let go of those bad habits that are causing continual mistakes or pushing people away from you. Disrupt yourself. Challenge your thinking and your strategies. Think about what you would change about yourself and your company looking from the outside in and apply these thoughts so that you can evolve and improve before your competition does. Continual testing. A testing mindset solves a lot of problems, it makes you a lot more risk-averse, brave and courageous. Have a life plan. With your business or career, split your time 70/30 between your main income and your second income. If you’re all in on one thing it will be difficult to evolve and reinvent yourself. Continually be uncomfortable. Allow yourself to become comfortably uncomfortable, whereby you are stepping out of your comfort zone, but it is not so scary that you are not likely to go through with it. Hang around with people from different walks of life. These may be people older than you, younger than you or people from different backgrounds with different beliefs. You can learn a lot from people and it can keep you challenging your own beliefs and helps you to reinvent yourself. What’s the future vision of who you are? If you don’t have a future vision for yourself, then you don’t know who you are going to reinvent yourself into and then you will be forced to reinvent yourself, often to someone else’s criteria. BEST MOMENTS “Look at the upside of the challenge and you may be able to get back in the game” “The older you get, the wiser you get” “There’s a gift and a lesson in everything, it is just being able to see 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.
