Disruptors

Rob is joined by England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio and they get into all things rugby and business. After retiring from an amazing rugby career in 2008, Lawrence tells us what he has been doing since, from the businesses he runs to regular punditry as well as his honorable charitable work. Don’t miss this insightful interview with an English Rugby legend.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Q. Lawrence, what are you up to now?

A.I retired from rugby in 2008, it is an ever-fading memory. I was a rugby player who worked before they got into rugby, I was a surveyor, I owned the property industry when it was on its knees in the early ’90s just as the game of rugby came along, and when I turned professional. I sort of parked the property side of things for a while, though I would give rugby a go. Sport is quite an exhausting career, there are enormous highs and enormous lows I was actually quite excited to retire,it was relentless and there’s only so much of that that you can do. I had a number of different things that I had set my heart on for when I retired. I ran a call center company for a while, which was exciting, we then sold that business to Serco which went well. I then set up a hospitality business called “The Green Room” which is still going now. I have always kept a close alignment to rugby because that’s been in my life for the best part of 20 years. I remain beloved in Wasps, the club I was at for 20 years and we have gone on an amazing journey since I have left, I sit on the board of that club. I was lucky enough to work closely with BBC Sport, I helped to launch the channel with Jake Humpherries and Clare Baldwin, and I am currently a commentator and pundit for them. I recently concluded a sports marketing business called BBH Sport where we were looking after brands who had invested in sponsorships and they didn’t understand o to bring that to life. Quite a diverse portfolio, and that’s the way I always wanted it to be really.

Q. What did you have to learn when you came out of rugby?

A. There are a lot of similarities, believe it or not. I think it is about understanding how it works, for that particular environment but equally when you come into a different organisation, there are things that you need to learn and adapt and understand what motivates people, building a strong culture within any environment doesn’t matter whether it is the sport or work it is really important.

Q. What does the word culture mean to you?

A. Well, it is a set of behaviours really, there’s a set of behaviour that is important in any environment. It is the same at home, some families behave in a weird way, some behave differently. That denies how you perceive each other, and how people externally perceive you. That is what culture is, it is an internal message and feeling as well as an external one. It is important to generate the right feelings as often how people perceive you is really important, how does your competition perceive you? Do they find you inspirational or aspirational? It is also about your group living and breathing those behaviours.

Q. Was there a moment in your career when you knew you would make it?

A. Rugby is an interesting one, as soon as you’ve made it another bigger player comes along! It is quite a humble sport. I think for me the process of our development as a human being starts from a young age. I was very lucky to have been born healthy and into a cool environment which gave me two things in my life which were unconditional love which I think is amazing, and secondly, they gave me a belief system that you can go out there and achieve anything that you want to achieve. My parents are both from working-class backgrounds and both worked incredibly hard and provided me with love and belief. So you asked me, when did you think you can make it? Well, an early age really because every time I didn’t think I could make it I was continually reinforced with that belief of going out there and doing it.

Q. Were you scared of Jonah Lomu?

A. Scared is the wrong word, yes he is huge. When he comes running at you I have never seen a mountain run but he is enormous. Unfortunately, I played against him in 1999 and I ran towards him and I timed my run so I didn’t have to make a tackle against him, I ended up accidentally hitting him in the nose when he was scoring a try and it looked like a volcano had erupted! He was a special player who is sadly no longer with us, who saved his best performances for England. A phenomenon.

Q. Can you remember the worst piece of advice you have ever had?

A. I have been given advice that has turned out to be wrong. The opposite of good advice is telling you that you can’t do things. Negative energy, there’s radiators and drains, and we don’t like drains, we like people who radiate good energy.

Q. Did you ever have people along the way telling you you weren’t going to make it? And did that motivate you?

A. Oh yes absolutely, I think it does motivate you. School teachers, and all sorts of people that you might have met along your journey that kind of motivated you a bit more and maybe they say it because they secretly like you and want you to do well. I think part of rising up is falling down, that is a familiar picture we have all seen. There have been moments when you have been down, and then you rebuild yourself whether it be reputationally, physically or emotionally and I have had to do that a couple of times. I had 14 operations in a year, it took me a while to repair, but I am only 47 I am sure the body will break down again soon!

Q.What does the word disruptive mean to you?

A.Disruptive means someone who challenges conventional thinking. You can be disruptive and that is good, I like disruptive. When the world zigs, zags. When everyone goes one way, go another way because that challenges conventional thinking.

BEST MOMENTS

“Getting your face smashed in all over the world, is a little bit overrated”

“I am a firm believer that we arrive in this world with nothing, and we leave with nothing, that we can guarantee”

“Shoot for the moon and you will be amongst the stars”

“Part of rising up is falling down”

Though the situation asks us to self-quarantine and stay put in our own homes, now is NOT the time to rest. For Rob, it’s still hustle and grind. Plainly his choice. But if you can do it too, he thinks you’ll make a big change in your business and career once we get out of this crisis.

What Rob sees as problematic: people see this as a chance to slack off—by allotting much more time than usual to resting. Not all people will agree, but try to hear him out. Tune into the latest episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast to know more about what you can do during this time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rob sees an opportunity to all of this. We can do our part as citizens—stay informed, follow the protocols, and help other people—whilst also bettering ourselves. There is definitely no pause in personal improvement.
• Entrepreneurs, you can have your time to reflect too—even if you grind & hustle during your isolation. This global health crisis brings anxiety and fears to most, so peace of mind will be needed.
• Maintain your momentum. You can find alternatives, even you’re at home. You can even consider this time to start your long overdue projects. Now’s the time.
• The world needs people right now, those who think and move with a cause. It’s the best time to put your skills and knowledge to good use. There are problems to be solved. You can help other people through your services.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I’m not all about hustle and grind.”
• “When you’ve got a day of just nothing, a blackhole, with no structure or routine, it’s quite easy to just bounce around like an atom in an open space.”

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.”

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”

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”

Social media is often used to do great things and recently Rob used his online community to raise money for his sister’s kidney operation, however, as it often does, the dark side of social media reared its ugly head and some hate comments were fired back at Rob. In today's podcast, Rob talks us through his experience with hateful and hurtful comments online and how to learn, grow and overcome them in the future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Set up a Go Fund Me to help pay for a private operation on a kidney for his sister, she wanted to stand on her own two feet and raise the money herself rather than rely on her brother for the money, an admirable thing to do.
• She raised a few thousand pounds in a number of days, her target was fifteen thousand pounds.
• Rob reached out to his contacts and raised a significant amount of money in a day, meaning they reached the money needed for the operation in less than 24 hours.
• Rob then received hate from a gentleman wondering why he wouldn’t just pay for the operation himself.
• Even when you use your community for good and if you raise money for someone else, people will hate you.
• They were able to use social media for good, each and every person that donated were able to feel good about themselves and feel they have achieved something for a good cause.
• Hate culture, including criticising, trolling and nasty comments is a negative side of social media.
• Don’t let the negative side of social media affect who you are, you should continue to be yourself if you believe in something strongly you should try to gather support and get global reach. Look at the positive side of social media instead of the negative.
• The bigger you get, the more hate you may receive, people will hate you the thing that is great about you. What you're scared of will probably happen anyway so you need to overcome this. If you have a good message, product, and service you will minimise the hate, but it will always be there.
