Disruptors

“Success is so easy to achieve” In this special episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob interviews  CEO of Social Chain, Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Speaker & Investor, Steve Bartlett. They discuss what it takes to be successful, what skills, knowledge and information you need to acquire to scale-up your business and why mentors, marketing and finding the perfect balance can lead to a happy work, welfare and world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Knowledge and education are one of the most crucial things that you can do for you to be successful in your life or business. You may drop out of school because you have maybe found a business opportunity, and you go and start that business and it makes you money for the first time, but then you realize that you need to improve your skills in running this business. For you to do this, you need to learn what you need to do to acquire better skills and run your business perfectly leading to scale-up in your business.
• With mentors, you get to be advised if the path you are taking is the right one, and with this, you get to make well-informed decisions. Mentors may also give you some great ideas on what to do to better your life or your business.
• When you make a product, you don't expect people to come right away and buy from you and they do not have any information about the product and what it can do for them, you have to advertise it. Let people know about your product. Hire a marketing professional if you have to because marketing is also a key factor in the success of your business. After this, you will now have the sales that you want because people are aware of what you are offering to them and they want to try it.
• Why you need to go public as a company. It's a really good way to keep control of the company while raising significant capital to achieve growth. When you're thinking about how to raise capital when you're at the stage where you've got several options, you can get private investment, VC investment, a lot of these come with a lot of restrictions and covenants and issues, going public presents you with a different set of issues, but a set of issues that is more conducive with you controlling the direction of the company and being able to achieve ambitious growth.
• Have a great team behind you that is always looking out for you and always wants what’s best for you. Having a great team will help you balance your personal life, your business life and even the growth of your business will be great.
• Do not exchange your purpose for money, that is, never sell that thing that makes you wake up every morning because if you sell it even for millions of money, what will you do with all that money now that you don’t have any purpose in your life? Most probably you will just waste all that money on irrelevant things.
• Life is an infinite game and the perfect balance for you is to be ambitious and to go after worthy causes while realizing that you don't need to achieve them.
• Work, welfare and world, this is what you should do in your personal life or business life for you to be happy. You need the funds to do the business and that’s why you need to work, you need to fly to Germany or take six months leave for vacation and still come back or pay a therapist, and that’s the welfare your business should give you, that is, being sustainable, and then the impact you make to the world, be it donations or whatever.
• Believe in yourself and you will see wonders. If you have a great idea and your instincts tell you it's a great idea, go for it even when people try to tell you not to do it. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take that risk for you to succeed in life and business.

BEST MOMENTS

• “When organizations they go public after change a lot because the financial reporting changes drastically.”
• “As entrepreneurs, if there isn't a girlfriend or there aren’t kids or there isn't something else that's making you create time, then you'll just fill it with work.”
• “Balance is a bit of a myth for entrepreneurs because the business always feels like the priority.”
• “Buy nice things, but don’t buy them into the pretence that they're going to make you feel better about yourself.”
• “Do not exchange your purpose for money.”
• “You are already enough.”
• “Happiness is defined as progress towards a worthy goal.”
• “The best journeys are ones where you never arrive.”
• “It’s a misuse of energy and time to prove people wrong, you have so many people that already care for you.”
• “Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right.”

In today's episode, Rob talks us through one of the most important skills you can have as an entrepreneur, managing and mastering your emotions. Rob dives into what could trigger your emotions and gives some top tips on how to manage them and stop them affecting your future success and enable you to be the best version of yourself!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

-Most important factor in your entrepreneurship or business that will determine your success or failure is how you manage and master your emotions.

- Emotions are triggered by your previous experiences which have formed and created an emotional response or reaction. It is not a conscious thought, it is an unconscious reaction to the environment or people.

-You are not your emotions, your emotions are reactions and feedback to the environment and places and people. They are also your past experiences appearing as a feeling.

-If your emotions hijack you, you end up becoming a ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ type personality, whereby when you’re logical and not triggered you are acting based on your own pure thoughts and actions and desires. However, when you become triggered and emotional you become a non-true version of you.

-Mastering your emotions is understanding what they are and how they’re triggered, and then controlling and managing them.

-When you experience people, you don’t experience them as they are. You experience them as you are, through your own emotional response to them. This is not your conscious mind, this is your unconscious mind or your body-mind.

-Your reactions to your clients, critics, staff and partners are all based on your past experiences being dragged into the present and therefore are affecting your future and this is not the truth.

-Managing your emotions is:

Step 1: Notice when you get triggered.

Step 2: Understand where that emotion came from.

Step 3: Understand that that is happening to others.

-Significant emotional events in your past are triggering your present and dictating your future. If you let the emotions get the better of you, then you’re letting the past dictate the present which will ruin the future.

-Never make important decisions when you are emotional. Always make them when you are logical, calm and not triggered. Learn to smile, be calm and still and walk away.

BEST MOMENTS

“This is not life, this is how you perceive it to be.”

“The maximum growth is on the border of support and challenge”

“Master your emotions and you master your entrepreneurship”

Rejection is hard, but far too many of us take it badly. This can be damaging to you, your environment, and most certainly your business and its growth.  

In this episode, Rob tells you the best ways not to take rejection, what not to do when you get rejected, how you can turn rejection into something positive, and the ways in which you can take action beyond. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are two damaging extremes when it comes to taking rejection and how you act upon it, both of which will hurt you and your business badly: 

• Angry, critical, defensive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, emotional and controlling behaviours. 

• Retreat, hide, aggressive self-analysing followed by internal scalding. 

• Reacting badly to rejection only reinforces the belief that whoever did the rejecting did the right thing! It’s not about taking rejection; it’s about how you handle that rejection. Acting like a child won’t make anyone change their mind. 

• It’s not personal - Rejection is never personal. The pain we experience in the wake of rejection often leads us to believe, falsely, that the rejection is very personal, but rejection is almost always about the place they are in, the way in which we approached them, or their circumstances at the time. 

• Don’t take rejection based on how you feel, or your perceptions - The feelings of pain or inadequacy caused through rejection are reflections of some past pain or experience, and can cause wrongful associations with those previous episodes. 

• Don’t take it based on the present - Rejection often triggers an incredible sense of insecurity, and can conflate the sense that the present moment is ruined and will have lasting effects on the present.  

• Do not take it as one-sided - Don’t assume that rejection is all negative. There are an equal amount of upsides to being rejected.  

• Make sure that in the wake of rejection, you do not lash out; you do not seek revenge; you do not inflict the pain you are feeling upon someone else! In the height of emotion, we generally say things we do not mean, and almost always regret the things we do. It may also ruin people’s perception of us going forward. 

• Make sure you don’t try and exercise some kind of emotional-based leverage on someone - Guilt-tripping or emotional blackmail are not qualities that will encourage anyone to want to pursue a relationship with you in the future. 

• Don’t turn it into something that means more than it does - Rejection doesn’t mean that your health, wealth or finances are ruined. Compartmentalise the rejection and don’t let it spill into your other interests. 

• Don’t publicly react or turn to the internet to rant - All you’re doing when you display your negative reaction, is widening the field of people who won’t want to deal with you later. 

• Don’t beat yourself up - Remember that rejection is almost never personal. Don’t take rejection too hard as it’s likely to have been entirely circumstantial. 

• Never retreat - In the wake of rejection, it can be damaging to assume that you must never try again. You have to keep coming back, even if it means more rejection. 

• Take it graciously - You might be feeling the polar opposite, but smile, breathe and don’t speak. Think, wait, and be kind. This will allow you an elegant response borne out of patience and consideration. 

• Be grateful - Look for ways to be grateful. Be grateful that you got a response. Be grateful that they considered your request. Be grateful for the opportunity to seek feedback. 

• Rejection always has a balanced equal upside - There’s a lesson in everything, even in the negative experiences. Rejection is growth, learning, a test, and a sign of your own bravery. 

• Let the emotion pass - Don’t associate the feelings of hurt with past experiences, because this is nothing like that. Don’t let the past damage the future and the present. 

• Rejection is a logical, natural, normal event or step towards success, growth and progress. A prerequisite of success is that you will have to experience multiple forms of rejection, so each one should be seen as a further step upwards.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We all act like a child from time-to-time’ 

‘It’s rarely, if ever, about you’ 

‘When people are emotional they immediately react!’ 

‘When you master this, you master life’ 

‘You’ll be in a washing-machine of being triggered’ 

‘One failing does not make you a failure’ 

’The emotion triggers the action’ 

‘Gratitude is a gift, so rejection is a gift if you’re grateful for it’ 

‘If you stop and shoot at every dog that barks, you’ll never get to your destination’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The LinkedIn platform gives you a huge advantage and level planning field for everyone. It does not restrict your reach your connections.

Additionally know your target market and tailor your content to that demographic.
   
   

BEST MOMENTS

Have you been hit with the January blues? Are you feeling a bit down in the dumps and unsure how to get back to 100%? Join us today for one of Rob’s Rants to see how you can overcome your emotions in the easiest and quickest way and get motivated to achieve your business goals. Rob talks us through how we can push ourselves to overcome the downtimes and allow ourselves to reach our full potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all have our moments in life when we feel sorry for ourselves, have our down days and need some help and support and that is okay, most people in life go through this at some point or other.  Here are some tips to help overcome these emotions and how to let these moments in our lives have minimal impact on our goals and growth.

• Select the right people to speak too. Make sure it is people you know and not on social media sites or to people you cannot trust. Talk to friends, family, therapists or mentors who have your best interest at heart and who won’t judge you.
• Get permission from the right people. Ask them when the time is right to seek their advice. Who doesn’t like being asked for help when others are struggling?
• Isolate yourself from emails, social media, etc when you’re triggered or emotional. You will write and put things in the public domain that you will regret later.
• You must avoid toxic people when you’re feeling more vulnerable. People that will use your mental state against you, hurt you or judge you.
• Allow some time for wallowing, however, shorten it and move on.
• Do something about it! Stop moaning and start fixing the problem. A great thing you can do is move, go for a walk, go to the gym and get some energy.
• Why do I feel like this? What has triggered me? How can I change? How can I be the change I want to see in the world? Get out of problem mode and into solution mode.
• Could you meet your needs somewhere else? How else can you get that need met other than to people who aren't going to serve you? Could you have a therapist, a mentor or a coach? Could you create a blog about it, a podcast series? You can turn it to good in the world. Make sure you have wise counsel around you.
• Gratitude, you cannot feel genuine gratitude and any other negative emotion simultaneously. Practice gratitude. Gratitude it harder when things aren't going your way, practice it and be thankful for things that you do have.

BEST MOMENTS

‘motion creates emotion’
‘Fixing mode is a very powerful mode’
‘you cannot feel genuine gratitude and any other negative emotion simultaneously.’

“You don’t need to be broken to have therapy” Therapy comes in many shapes and sizes and it’s not just an answer for ‘the broken’ Therapy is essential for personal development, learning, coaching, gaining perspective and most importantly understanding who you are. Therapy is not something to be feared, seeing a therapist is not something that should be judged, it’s a path to a better and more positive mindset. Tune in to discover Rob’s reason for therapy and how it has helped him grow in business and in life.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Personal development. Understanding who you are and how you work and how your mindset work and managing your emotions is not just vital, but almost the key determinant of success. Having mentors, doing courses, having a coach, having a therapist are some of the best ways you could ever develop yourself. 
• It’s the mindset and the emotional stuff that most people struggle with. When you’re struggling with yourself, you will struggle with everything that comes your way and success will not be your thing. This way, you need a therapist who will listen to your struggle and help you confront all your struggles, therefore, you will be able to face the challenges that the world gives you and come out a winner and thus you will be successful. 
• Most people perceived that there has to be something wrong with us, there has to be something broken to need a therapist. You may be too successful, but with success comes great responsibilities, challenges and sometimes you may feel lonely because you know you can't go to the next person beside you because you also know very well that they are also facing their challenges and this may break you inside and cause your downfall, instead of all this, you can pay someone who is paid to listen to people, and that is the therapist. Do not fear that people will judge you that you are messed up or have a problem since you know yourself, don't let people's limitations limit you. 
• The best thing about having a therapist is they don't know you, and because they need to know you from your childhood when you're building up the relationship and trying to let the therapist know you better, you might discover that it's not your current state which is the problem, your childhood was the problem and letting that thing out helps you to move forward with your life and not get stuck at one particular point. So you find yourself having those deep conversations that you couldn't have with people who know you, and this way, the therapist is now able to help you. 
• When you imagine people saying things about you even when they're not, 99% of the things that you worry about don't come true, but you worry about them anyway. When you do those personal development kinds of stuff like therapy, you learn that you're not the problem and you start to like that about yourself and learn to love that about yourself. 

• Understanding your earliest memories, and getting to know that younger you and having some sympathy and some love and some affection and admiration for that younger you, that is a great gift you can give yourself because let's be honest, when you two and five and six and things happen to you that make you feel pain, alone, rejected, you wouldn't have sympathy for you, you wouldn't be like bully yourself or beat yourself up or be hard on that version of you, you would care about that person, love that person, you would probably respect how that person dealt with that situation. If you can do that to yourself, take yourself out of yourself, look at yourself when you're young and the pain that you felt and the mistakes that you made and you just really appreciate and admire how that person dealt with that and what they did, that's going to benefit you in your adult life.  
• Who are you? Who is the child in you? What were the voids that you had? What were the pains that you felt from a very early age, I think it's a good thing for you to go there.  You may find some trauma, you may feel alone or wounded when you go through that, but if you can also see the gifts in who it made you and who it's making you become and if you can find a way to leverage that and turn that pain into gain for yourself and others, that is an amazing gift that you can give to yourself.  
• The most important thing to learn about business and life and becoming successful is managing your emotions, mastering your emotions, if you can shut up when everyone else is shouting, if you can speak up when no one else does, have the bravery and the courage to do that, if you can listen when others fail to do that if you can put yourself out there and take the arrows if you can be grateful for criticism if you could take the rejection and still be persistent. If you can say stay consistent when it gets hard, that is life mastery, that is business mastery right there. 

BEST MOMENTS 

• “The skillset without the mindset will leave you upset.” 

• “In the last two months of therapy, I've learned more about myself than I had in the last 14 or 15 years.” 
• “It’s okay to ask for help.” 
• “You can never get deep enough when you talk to people, even if they're really good listeners because they tend to take the conversation down where they need to go.” 
• “Your voice becomes your values.” 
• “Your strengths are linked to your weaknesses; your pain is linked to your gift.” 

• “You don't just need therapy if you think you're broken, do it if you think you're struggling or if you think you're alone.” 
• “Love that child in you, be sympathetic for that child and forgive that child in you, forgive the people you perceived hurt that child in you, be grateful you've not had as big trauma as many other people.” 
• “You should realize that when people judge us, that's where they're at. “ 
• “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.” 
• “I don't think you need to be broken to have therapy.” 

• “Speed is good.”

You should wish for big things to happen in your life, but you should also note that as you do that, do not stay idle, have a strategic plan of how you are going to achieve those big things that you are wishing for. When planning your goals or when planning your year or whatever you want to achieve, you should also plan the challenges you are going to have. So it's like goal setting and fear setting. Goal setting is setting the goals, the fear setting is what will the challenges be? What difficulties might there be? What do we need to plan and prepare for in advance? What could blindside us? 
• With your biggest highs, comes your biggest challenges. With your biggest highs, not only can but comes your biggest challenges, your biggest lows, so you need to be ready for what you can't be ready for. Prepare and plan for the unexpected. Be ready for what you can't be ready for and be prepared for what blindside you. You never know what that is, but at least be ready for it, whatever it will be. 
• Stay patient. They say it takes 10 years to be an overnight success. I'm not sure if it takes that long anymore, but you certainly have to be patient. Do not be distracted by people who are achieving big things, you will also be one of them in a very short time. 
• You can also always outsource and leverage more. What happens is when you get to a certain level of outsourcing and leveraging certain levels of admin, then all you do is take on more, and then you have a high level of responsibility and then you get busy and overwhelmed again, but then you can take on the next level of outsourcing like a marketing manager or someone in sales and then an operations manager and then an MD, and then a CEO, and you become chairman and there's always another level of leverage and outsourcing. So what you find is you outsource stuff, you liberate your time and you think I'm done, but then you either get bored and you distracted and you need more because you need that important feeding, or you want to grow.  
• Every entrepreneur struggles with letting go. It doesn’t matter what level you're at, hiring staff, scaling, getting management in, selling your business, getting help on your brand, developing property projects, media and TV and PR, every entrepreneur even billionaires, they have challenges letting go. 

• You have to ask for help. So many people are struggling alone. They don't have mentors, coaches, they've not done a therapist, they don't talk to people, they're not in the right peer group, it's your responsibility, you can't sit there alone wishing for people to come and save you and support you, you've got to go and find those circles, you've got to get to the networking events, you've got to get in the right property Facebook groups, you've got to take me up on the one to one calls when I do them, you've got to come to the progressive events, you've got to get in the right network and the right circles, have the millionaires locally and take them out for lunch and dinner 
• People. Probably the greatest gift of life is the people that you meet, the experiences you have with people. Our victories are much better when we get to share them and your challenges are much better when you get to have help and share those with other people too. You learn a lot from them, you get inspired by them, you get energy from them. And also, it's really important to hang around with people in your peer group, to hang around with people above you, mentors, successful people, and more experienced in the niche you want to be successful in, but also hang around with people who are less experienced than you that you can help. 
• Realism, the upsides and downsides. Set big but realistic goals that you can be able to achieve. When you set unrealistic goals, you’ll be smacked on the face when life gives you some cold hard realities and difficulties and challenges. 
• What you think you know about people. Stop judging people, stop assuming what you think they think, and start listening and asking. You don't know people until you ask. You do not know what they mean until you ask.  
• Lessons from my therapy. You don't get therapy because you are messed up, some needs need to be met, you need to talk deep enough because some of these things are not addressed by the coach or mentor you have. Get a therapist and do not fear that people will judge you. This helps a lot. You will learn way more about yourself doing therapy than you will in many other areas. 

BEST MOMENTS 

• “When planning your goals or when planning your year or whatever you want to achieve, you should also plan the challenges you are going to have.” 
• “You can't wish for one without the other.” 
• “Be specific enough with what you wish for and what you plan for.” 
• “Things break when you go big, staff leave, systems break, merchant providers break.” 

• “The bigger you go, the bigger the challenges go.” 
• “It’s really important to be inspired by those who are ahead of you but don't feel like you're not worthy. Be motivated by competition, but don't get distracted by them. Be clear on your vision, your mission, your values, your goals, your journey, your direction, where you're going and stay patient.” 
• “If you don't ask for help, you don't get it.” 
• “Don’t buy into these limitations that other people impose upon you, if it's humanly possible, you can do it and break those limitations.” 
• “The better you know yourself, the better you're equipped with the pursuit that you're on with not worrying about what people will judge you on or criticize you for.” 

• “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.”

Success is not achieved easily, you have to sweat for it and therapy is the key to achieving it. Therapy is personal development, the control of your emotions, the increase in your self-worth and the driver behind success. Tune in to this honest episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur and discover Rob’s reasons for therapy, how you can overcome your fear, defeat what’s holding you back and use this advice to make 2020 your year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Success is not achieved easily, one has to sweat for it, and for you to achieve it, you need to do a couple of things and one of them is personal development. One of the most beneficial personal development things that you can do is having therapy.
• Having a therapist does not necessarily mean that you are broken, you can do therapy when you are feeling lonely or when you feel that there are some things that you need to tell someone who will listen to you, someone who will not judge you but someone who will help you face your problems.
• Do not listen to people who judge you when they hear that you are having therapy. When you listen to those kinds of people, weakness strikes because you will start judging yourself and this restricts you from thinking straight thus you will only be hearing success from others because you will never be successful.
• A therapist is someone who you pay to listen to you and you need this type of person because you need to have those deep conversations and you can’t have these types of conversations with people close to you, work colleagues or friends because they will always cut you in the middle of that conversation when they feel they need to add something they relate with.
• You first need to know yourself before you can be successful because you need to face your fears, maybe they are fears from your childhood and unless you talk them out to someone who will listen to you and guide you on how to face them, you will always be stuck and this will not help you in achieving success.
• The work you do on yourself and your personal development, your mindset, your emotional management, and control, how you feel about yourself and your self worth, that is all vital to your success. That is the reason you need a therapist.
• Believe in having mentors and masterminds and getting coaches and having a therapist, getting help from those that have been there and done it is the only best thing you can do to achieve success.
• Few people say you don't need mentors, you don't need to get help. You got to figure it out yourself. How do you figure out the baggage you had as a child, things that maybe you lacked, whether it's love from our mother or father, or some kind of abuse or loneliness or extreme challenge or significant emotional event? That creates these voids and these pains in us. That's hard to figure out yourself. You need a therapist to listen to you and guide you on how to face those fears and after this, success will come your way.

BEST MOMENTS

• “People perceive that you have to be broken to have a therapist.”
• “99% of the things you worry about never actually happen.”
• “The skillset without the mindset will leave you upset.”
• “Believe in getting help from those that have been there and done it.”
• “Always say to yourself that this is me, this is who I am and it's okay.”
• “Without each other, we couldn't survive as a race.”
• “Your voids create your values, the pains and the gaps and holes in your soul drive what you want and what you shoot for and what you find most important in your life.”
• “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.”
