Disruptors

Learn seven of the best strategies to target the highest value clients for your business or service. Rob covers proven models, tested tactics and expert marketing materials to bring you your ideal clients and get them coming back over and over again. This is a must-listen episode to all entrepreneurs looking to scale their business and bring in more high-value clients.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You need to know your IC P. Ideal Client Profile, unless you have an ideal client profile, you cannot target your marketing and your messaging and your ads and ultimately go set up your business knowing which clients to say yes to which clients to say no to.
• Go through all your existing clients and rank them from the ideal one at the top to a client who you don't want at the bottom. It’s vital from now on that you source the leads and the importance of the origin of your clients.
• Rank your worst clients as well and you want to make sure that you don't allow in clients like that next time.
• You've got to have the language that speaks to the ideal client when you are targeting them, and you can only do that when you know who your ideal client is.
• Your content and the ads in your offers, your marketing, your language, the collateral that you provide in a website should overcome the objections of your clients. Do a survey to your clients and ask them what their biggest problems and pains are, and then turn that into content if you are doing content marketing and you're not sure what video content to put out there.
• Get your clients to refer people to you. It’s not just about having referrals which makes it easy for your marketing, but the fact that you're getting the ideal kind of client. You should also sell more to existing clients.

BEST MOMENTS

“No two clients have the same value, even if they spend the same amount of money.”
“Don’t put a message out that you like, but it's not for your ideal client.”
“The best source of your ideal clients is your ideal clients referring them to you.”
“Half your marketing will work, or half your spend will get a return, you just don't know which half.”

RANT: Common sense is not so common and ‘free advice is worth every penny’. To be a successful property investor and entrepreneur you need to reverse the common sense advise out there, invest in yourself, build a team of specialists and find a mentor that will help drive you forward. Tune in to another honest rant as Rob discuss what it takes to be entrepreneur and how you truly can leverage the skills of others and get creative in business and in property by ignoring the common advice in the market.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A good entrepreneur is a generalist that knows strategy, vision, leadership and building a team but they’re not a master of any one thing. An entrepreneur is able to take experts and specialists and put them together to create a direction.

• If you wait your whole life to save up deposits to purchase property you’ll never get anywhere. Discovering mentors who can help to advise and guide you with the right investment tactics and strategies and attending courses will enable you to ‘learn to buy property’ which can be done without your own money.

• ‘Free advice is worth every penny’ if you only consume free content then you will only ever get a broad level of knowledge. In property you need a deep knowledge of two main investment strategies.
  
  

BEST MOMENTS

“Common sense is not so common”

“You can take pretty much all common sense and pretty much reverse it”

“Beware of free advice, it’s worth every penny”

“Every winner was once a beginner and every master was once a disaster”

“Not buying courses is not learning how to buy property”

“I got to 50 properties before putting my own deposits in”

“Money makes you lazy”

“Learn from the mistakes of others”

Have you ever wondered just how a billionaire got to where they are today? Well find out today how  Canadian-Australian businessman and Australias 23rd richest person Jack Cowin managed to get to where they are today. Together they discuss how businesses will need to adapt to survive through the COVID-19 restrictions, why the first rule of business is ‘never run out of money’ and why to be disruptive in business, you need to embrace change. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Businesses need to adapt to what the customers new needs are if they wish to keep their businesses afloat. Since the lockdown caused by the pandemic,  customers now wish to stay at home more and consume food and entertainment from their homes. With the new COVID-19 restrictions businesses will have to adapt to the new normal and make changes to their existing business model in order to meet their customers new needs. 

• Whilst it’s important to take risks, rule number one in business is ‘don’t run out of money, stay in business’. You may have many things go wrong, you may make many mistakes along the way but by not allowing your business to run out of money, nothing life threatening could happen to your business. You have to make sure everybody is ambitious, but don’t do it to the extent whereby if the ship doesn’t come in you are going to drown. 

• When it comes to dealing with conflict effectively, put yourself in the other persons shoes. Try and come back to them and find a middle ground that you can all agree on. It is not easy to admit that you are wrong and somebody else is right. You need to put yourself into a position whereby you’re conscious of what the other person wants and thinks. Be empathetic and try to understand people. 

• You have to treat money with respect and handle it as though it is somewhat fragile. You have to be conscious that what you have today, you could lose tomorrow. Nothing else counts if you lose your health, you could be the richest guy in the game but if you don’t have your health nothing else really matters. 

• To be disruptive is to accept and welcome change. You need to be able to accept that change is a constant and nothing will ever remain the same. We’re living in a world today in which there is probably more change than has ever taken place. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“I think the exchange of information through vehicles like zoom will make a huge difference to business.” 

“Don’t work on the business work in the business”

“You don’t have to put it all on the nose to win, if you have more than one horse in the race that helps. You do not want to have your entire business dependent on ‘this horse has to win, or we’re out of business’.” 

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Jack Cowin is a Canadian-Australian businessman who owns Hungry Jack's, the Burger King franchise in Australia and is the Executive Chairman of Competitive Foods Australia, one of the country's largest privately-held businesses. The business Competitive Foods Australia continues to be privately held by his family, with an estimated value of $350 million. Forbes Asia assessed Cowin's net worth as US$1.7 bn in 2019, and he was ranked as the 23rd richest Australian by net worth.

Do you find yourself dreaming of your retirement years and what you plan to do with them? Well, today you can learn how to make those dreams a reality as Rob details how he has been able to retire at the age of just 41. Discover today what retirement means, the 5 stages of retirement and how you can easily achieve these. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Retirement is not to do nothing. Retirement is having the choice to do something else. Retirement is the choice to not be stuck in a career working for a company that you don’t want to do for the long term. It is about having the choice to take mini-retirements, start a new business or write a book.

• Whether you want to sell your companies or not, they have to be scaleable to be saleable. You need an operations manual, you need a manager or MD and you need to be able to not have to go to the office for weeks. Could your businesses survive without you for months on end? Could they thrive not just survive? Could they scale? If the answer is no then you are not ready to retire.

• If you retire and do nothing you lose value and when you lose the value you lose your self-worth. Losing your self-worth means losing your contribution and we need to equally contribute as well as consume. Retirement is having total time freedom.

• It is not inconceivable that in a few short years you can reach the asset-based retirement. Reaching this point takes the stress of earning. You no longer need to exchange your time for money and you can exchange your time for ideas, relationships and partnerships. 

• Systemising your business is letting go to grow. It is making you redundant not reliant. This may be writing an operations manual or getting a manager and a personal assistant. Anything that you do that is tactical or technical that needs your decision making should be documented in a manual. Good entrepreneurs are generalist. They have decent knowledge in all areas of business but they are not the go-to expert in each business niche. If you align with some of the best experts then you can successfully systemise your business.

• Retirement created time to do more of what you love. If you rely on the government or an external entity for your retirement then that strategy will no longer work. You need to take full, final and personal responsibility for your retirement. The only person that is going to retire you is you. To allow you to do this early, you need assets, systems, processes, teams, managers and a vision.

BEST MOMENTS

“I retired from the old thing, and I started the new thing. I didn’t know that was going to be the case, but you have to be there to be able to test that out.”

“Being valuable is really important for your self-worth for the value that you create to others and for the meaning in your life.”

“People tend to think that nobody could do the job as good as me when actually some people can do it better”

Has this year thrown some curveballs and challenges your way, and you’re not sure exactly how to step up and overcome them? Today Rob shares his 7 tips to be more courageous which can help you overcome difficult challenges in your personal and professional life. Learn how planning for the worst-case scenario can help you move forward, why you should contextualise your problems and look at the greater picture and why it is important to ensure you are surrounded by a good support network.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ask yourself ‘what is the worst that can happen?’ and then plan for the worst-case scenario. If you have a plan B, C and D for the worst-case scenario and you have figured out the worst that could happen, then you can move forward with more faith, belief and less fear. Often, your doomsday thinking makes things seem a lot worse, and you do need the courage to stand up and overcome them.

• Commit to your challenge and get it done because the commitments you set for yourself that you get done will increase your self-worth. The commitments you set for yourself that you break will reduce your self-worth. Make a promise to yourself and get it done. Set a boundary and put a wall there. When your self-worth increases, you will feel proud of yourself and that will train you to continuously complete the commitments you set yourself.

• You have got to contextualise what you are scared of. You have got to contextualise where you need bravery and courage and reframe it. Anytime you have a big challenge or problem, just contextualise it and minimise the severity of the situation in the grander scheme of things. You may find that it is not as bad as you thought it was.

• Have a great support network. The people around you will lift you or drag you down and they will either give you energy or they will take it away. When you have got good mentors or good coaches and you have accountability, support and challenges when you need them then you are going to step up. You will want to inspire them and repay the faith in the. The energy will transmute into you and lift you.

BEST MOMENTS

“Anything that you’re worried about, you’re scared of or you’re putting off get it done early, get it done first, get it done fast.”

“At the end of the day, if you have costs for not doing something or consequences for not doing something you will get it done.”

“They are either radiators or they are drains and you can lean on them or push them away.”

Have you ever wanted to get an insight into a billionaire’s mindset? Then today is your lucky day as Rob is joined by  Canadian billionaire, businessman,  founder and former CEO of Lululemon Chip Wilson. Together they discuss an entrepreneur's ability to handle setbacks, why it is vital to the success of your business to surround yourself with good negotiators and why nobody ever plans to become a billionaire.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you are an entrepreneur change is always going to happen. The current global pandemic is certainly a setback to all businesses, but life is all about how you handle setbacks. Entrepreneurs survive because they would probably do what they are doing for no money. Because the passion is there, the mind works on the issues 24/7. Fear will not do anybody any good, people that stand in fear are using up brainpower from being creative about how to move forward.

• Most entrepreneurs are product and brand people. Finance, public markets and private equity is a realm that many entrepreneurs do not have much experience in. Getting the right advisors is extremely important. Don’t only go for advisors you trust, go for advisors who are aggressive negotiating advisors.

• People who are running the government are running the biggest corporations in the entire world. They are political animals but they have no idea how to run a business. Do you want someone running your government that can add triple the value to it because they know how to run the business so everybody has got a lot of money? Or do you want an incompetent fool running your government so that you have all the social things taken care of but everybody is poor?

• Nature wants everyone to be super valuable in life. Entrepreneurs are given this ability to shut so many things down in the brain. They are constantly looking towards the future and thinking about the knock-on effects the future world will have due to the ever-evolving world. Many people have ideas but very few people take action.

• To be disruptive is to have the willingness to do and risk what others aren’t willing to do. Almost every entrepreneur that came up with their idea had people tell them that it was stupid, wrong and would never work. When that very same idea becomes successful, they become disruptive. A ‘good’  disruptive can often make other people uncomfortable.

BEST MOMENTS
“Once you can get a product and you can understand how to replicate it, I think that is where the money comes in.”

“It is inherent of the entrepreneur to be responsible for yourselves to make sure you have people around you that can handle your weaknesses and supplement your weaknesses.”

“An entrepreneur is someone who has an idea and sees an opening in the marketplace, who couldn’t stand going to their death bed not seeing if it worked or not.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Chip Wilson is a Canadian billionaire, businessman and philanthropist, who has founded several retail apparel companies, most notably yoga-inspired athletic apparel company Lululemon Athletica Inc. Chip Wilson is widely considered to be the creator of the athleisure trend. In 2016, he organized his personal and business interests into the holding company Hold It All Inc.

Are you a content creator and wondering how you can elevate your content to make it great? Discover today Rob’s unique formula for creating really great content by following the 3 ‘E’s’. Learn how by offering educational, entertaining and emotional content you can create a loyal and engaged fan base. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Really good content needs to include documentation, controversy and knowledge as well as knowing what your markets want, the pains and problems your niche has and the deep routed challenges your clients face. Whilst this creates good content, it does not necessarily create the great content that the three E’s can.

• The first ‘E’ is ‘Education’. Any content that teaches shows or guides the audience in some way is educational. The content may offer the audience an epiphany which resonates with the audience. You can always fall back on teaching them something surprising and new that perhaps they hadn’t thought of before. 

• Secondly, your content must be ‘Entertaining.’ People love to be entertained. If you entertain your audience regularly, people will stop what they are doing and consume each bit of content you produce for a long time. You could perhaps add humour into your content to keep your customers entertained and engaged. If you are producing educational content you can couple this with entertaining content to create ‘edutainment’.

• The final E is ‘Emotion’. When you move people, you have a loyal follower and fan base. When you make your audience feel something they engage with you on a more personal level. Evoking one emotion per content is the best way to go. You can’t evoke too many all at once as it will be confusing for the consumer. Even heroes need to be fallible and have weaknesses. People love to understand the background to your success, whether that be the pains you faced and the struggles you overcame. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Don’t be scared to try things, to entertain people and make some of your content fun and funny because it will work.”

“Look I don’t care if people love me or hate me, but I want them to feel something.”

“People love vulnerable posts. People love the honesty, the pain in success and the struggle in success.”

The lockdown has caused many frustrating things to happen, and today Rob discusses one of the most infuriating things to happen in the business world since before lockdown. Many people have been criticising small businesses for promoting their services during the pandemic. Rob discusses why stopping the promotion of these businesses would have an even bigger detrimental impact on the economy and how you can help support other entrepreneurs. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Something frustrating that has been happening online since the lockdown began, is people who use their platforms to slate millionaires, billionaires and entrepreneurs. Many people vented online that they believed that it was unacceptable for people to be selling during the lockdown as people were dying. This attitude is not how you get out of a recession, if the economy stops, then the world stops. 

• Without small businesses and entrepreneurs, there would be no economy. Virtually all of the public sector is funded by the private sector. As entrepreneurs, you create tax revenues, employees, national insurance and VAT. However, there have been many people complaining about people pitching during the pandemic.  

• If there is no selling, creation of products or a fair exchange environment where entrepreneurs are able to make a fair profit then not only does the economy die, but so does the entire supply chain. All the amenities and survival-based products and services that we need will diminish. 

• People should be supporting start-up businesses, entrepreneurs and small business owners. If you see a small business owner under attack on social media for promoting their services, then go in and support them and defend them. Promote their business on your page to get them some more exposure. We need to have each others backs. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Believe you me, the economy underpins everything, even the supply chains and us just getting our basic amenities. Nothing moves until business owners sell products and services”

“People need to stop bashing people who sell stuff, who create a product or service.”

“The big business owner starts as a small business owner. The ‘scale-up’ starts as a ‘start-up’. The millionaire and the billionaire start with zero.”

In this special episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob interview Philip Witcomb, ‘The Secret Son Of Pablo Escobar’. In this compelling and revealing interview, Rob and Philip discuss his extraordinary upbringing, the extreme circumstances Philip found himself in and the lessons he learnt along the way. In this enthralling interview, discover a unique story from the secret son of the world’s most famous and influential drug lord’s.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There were a set of circumstances happening in Colombia, whereby Pablo Escobar was getting himself into trouble (to put it mildly). At the same time in Madrid, Phillip’s adopted father was unwell. This culmination of circumstances led his adopted father to come clean and tell Phillip the truth about his real father. Initially, he told Phillip of his own life and then he began answering some of Phillips unanswered questions from his childhood. When it was revealed to him who his real father was, Phillip was unaware of who Pablo Escobar was, and his life in Colombia.

• In 1989 Pablo ended up in a Colombian prison. The Escobar empire was falling to pieces and his adopted father was aware of this. Phillips adopted father came clean and told Phillip that his real father in Colombia was facing problems, and Phillip needed security in his house for protection. Escobar’s great empire was crumbling and anybody related to him was likely to be in danger.

• In Phillips early years he often found himself being woken in the night with night terrors. These night terrors were never explained to him and he asked his adopted father why these happened. Whilst it is not possible for Phillip to accurately remember small details of his childhood in Colombia It is surprising what a young child can absorb into their brain. Small memories of vivid mental images and loud memories were enough to spark the memory from Phillips adopted father where he initially found young Phillip.

• Throughout his life, Phillip faced battles with depression. He was able to battle this by talking with people and asking them for help. It will not work if you simply try to ignore your depression. It took a long time of talking through his life with therapists who helped him and wanted to see him succeed. Eventually, Phillip overcame his depression and stop drinking alcohol and smoking and get realistic about life.

• There’s a lot of truth to the saying ‘you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Phillip was warned by his publishers that many people would try to sell stories on him once his story became public. It is just part of the parcel of this new life that Phillip now has as a best selling publisher. Phillips life is likely to become a movie, this book about one mans life has become a mammoth thing and has sparked worldwide interest.

BEST MOMENTS

“There are things that rang true, and I could just identify with some of the things.”

“He felt that my life was not as safe as it could be at that time.”

“You keep your friends close to you and your enemies even closer.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Phillip was born in Colombia, and adopted by Pat Witcomb. His birth name is Roberto Sendoya Escobar. His real father was Pablo Escobar. Phillip is a hyperrealist view painter and author.
