Welcome back to The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast’s four-part special on mentoring, masterminds, and accountability!

In this episode, we learn more about HARDCORE accountability. Let’s admit… it’s really difficult to stick to every schedule and task, especially when no one’s watching. It’s easy to let yourself off the hook. According to Rob, there are many ways on how you can turn things around easily and build the habit of being accountable. Sometimes, it’s just a change of mindset, a change of perspective. Let someone help you—get a mentor, join a Mastermind.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Take yourself out of the equation. Let someone help you be on track with your plans. When it’s you keeping score of what you’re doing, it’s easy to be self-forgiving. It’s difficult to see what needs to be improved or changed.
• Having pain also helps. Some people get motivated by remembering their past mishaps. They learned and don’t want to make the same mistakes. Failures humble you, or so they say.
• Tricking and gaming yourself. Always challenge yourself to do something you’re not comfortable with so you always improve and grow. Don’t let yourself get stuck wherever you are. Keep moving.
• You’re responsible for your own results. Your mentor guided you, yes. But you also have to applaud yourself for continuously pushing and staying focused in reaching your goals.

• Rob just launched a fitness Mastermind and so far 80 people are most likely to push through. Last year, he helped people lose weight and they altogether lost almost 10 kilos. Aside from this he also hosts other four masterminds.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Don’t wait for the event; MAKE the event.”
• “If you take full responsibility for everything in your life every time, everyone will be rich, everyone will be happy.”
• “A want and a need are completely different.”
• “You have to own your results.”
• “You need to have a ‘today’ mentality.”

Make 2020 your biggest year ever.

You can have your goals list ticked, get your sought-after wealth, have the biggest learning curve, and more if you improve or do things differently. In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, which is also part of 4-part special, Rob talks about the 6 rules you need to note when looking for mentors or masterminds to join into. No one can do things alone. Accept the fact that you need something/someone to improve and grow more. So quit wasting your time and energy and gain a new perspective today on how you can move smarter with others’ help.

Aside from this, he also emphasises the importance of accountability when you’re in your pursuit for success and happiness so tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Someone’s failing can be your success. Learning from your own mistakes is one of the worst advice according to Rob. Instead, learn from someone else—someone who has experienced it, made mistakes and got back up from them effortlessly.
• One of the hardest things to do when you’re on your way to getting your well-deserved success is ensuring that you’re always accountable. It’s best we find a person who’ll help us be accountable, whether it be a mentor, masterminds, or colleagues. Just make sure he/she understands your vision and your own process, so there is an effortless communication.
• Rob was too egoistic at first to ask for help from anyone. He wanted to do it on his own, learn everything on his own. But that proved to be not working. He then finally let go and went searching people who can help him.
• Remember, no one is a self-made man. You’ve been consuming resources (made by someone), asking people for support ever since. It makes a difference to be grateful and recognise the help you’ve been given.
• 6 Rules for Getting Mentors and Getting into Masterminds
  • Have they done what you want to achieve?
  • Are they considerably further ahead of me?
  • Have they got proven experience and results for other people?
  • Are they accessible?
  • Will they be honest?
  • What’s the price?
• Mentoring is a one-to-one approach while Masterminds follows a one-to-many approach.

BEST MOMENTS

• “If you want something done properly, go to someone who’s learned it already and learn from them.”
• “Everyone gets results when there’s hardcore accountability.”
• “The easiest person to lie to is yourself.”
• “NO one is a self-made.”
• “Invest in yourself wisely.”

If you’re fatigued, tired and moving in the wrong direction you’re probably working really hard on something you don’t like, working in an industry that’s dying or for a boss that you don’t like and as a result, you’re going to get burned out! Tune in to today’s episode to discover how to defeat burn out, what it really is and how you can avoid it by simply doing what you love. Rob shares his thoughts on how to overcome the challenges of burn out and how you can overcome then by keeping on mission and striving towards your vision.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People get ‘burn-out’ wrong, they perceive it wrong and don’t necessarily know if they are in-fact burnt-out. Often people think you get burnt out by simply working hard, but this isn’t right. Some of the most inspirational people work hard every day and they don’t get burnt out.
• A lot of people don’t actually work as hard as they think. If you look at your day there’s probably a lot of time where you’re not working because you’re not organised or have a proper routine in place.
• As an entrepreneur, you need to know when to have a break and focus on working on your business and not in your business. Learn how to leverage, outsource and how to ask for help. However, there’s also the time when you do need to work hard and hustle. It’s a balance.
• Burn out is as much in your mind and how you perceive it as it is in a physical element. It’s a state of mind more than it is a state of the body.
• Burn out is working hard and long on something that you hate. Something you’re not passionate or enthusiastic about or something that someone else is making you do.
• The secret to burn out is simply doing more of what you love. Ensure your passion, profession, vocation and vacation are on mission. Everything you need to do needs to be on mission for your vision because even when things aren’t going your way and everything is against you, you’ll keep on moving forward because you’re moving in the right direction, towards something that you love.
• To avoid burning out you can leverage the tasks that you do not like, you can outsource the tasks that frustrate you and you can free up your time to do the things that you love and overcome the issues in your business. You can work 10 times harder on the things that you love to do.

BEST MOMENTS

“Do you think that Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk don’t work hard? Of course, they do, but they don’t burn out because they love what they do.“

“Some of the biggest challenges in my business are solved because I know what I’m bigger than the problem and I’m on the right path”

“You can work 10 times harder on the things that you love to do”

Do you want to start, grow and scale your own Podcast? Is there a message to want to share to masses but you’re not sure how? In today’s episode, Rob shares with you everything you need to run your very own podcast. Listen in and learn how to title your show, grow your power team, create engaging content and source world-class guests. Discover the tips and tricks from the host of the UK’s #1 Business Podcast, hear what it takes to run a successful show and understand how you too can leverage a podcast’s reach to grow your business too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you ever want to have a podcast that you can say is a success, first of all, you need to have a very captivating title for your podcast. The title itself should play part in advertising the podcast. When people hear about this podcast, they should be tempted to know more about your podcast.
• The venue where you'll be hosting your podcast is very, very important. It should be a place that is presentable or nice looking, it should be a clean one, the place should not be noisy or its surroundings should not be noisy to have an audible podcast. This also plays part in advertising your podcast.
• The host of the podcast should have the skill to entertain for the show not to be boring and he or she should also have the skill to engage with anyone in a conversation to get every detail for who he or she is interviewing.
• You should have content in your podcast if you want the podcast to be a success. Always bring fresh and never heard stories to your audience and the content should be captivating or content that many can relate to. Delivering new and inspiring content to your audience is another secret to having a successful podcast.
• Invite guests that have achieved extraordinary things, be it in the business world, in sports, in music or whichever area and the guest should be well known to the public. This helps in increasing the followers to your podcast. They should be people with great stories behind their success; they should be people with lots of good advice and ideas. Never invite a boring guest to interview them on your podcast. Invite guests that are inspirational to the public.
• You should have a team of workers such as cameraman, podcast editors and even directors because you can't do all this work on your own. Leverage that team for the podcast to be a success.
• You need the best equipment you can get and modern pieces of equipment such as cameras, microphones, computers, you name them, they should be of the best quality if you want to give quality work of podcasting.
• The host or the interviewer must have knowledge, experience, and confidence for him or her to perfect the show or podcast. He or she must not be overwhelmed while interviewing the guest, he or she should not fear the guest, he or she should ask anything that the public might want answers to.
• You should know your way around all the social media platforms so that you can be able to advertise your podcast and so that it can reach a lot of people out there such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many others. This helps to grow your followers’ number and many people get to know about your podcast.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.”
• “Podcast brings recognition to you and your brand.”
• “Recognition is good because it forces you to put more content or up the game of content creators out there.”
• “A lot of people worry that you need to produce really good quality content, yes you do, but quality can be a good rant.”
• “Good content should be short, punchy, real and relatable.”
• “Everyone's got an opinion on a celebrity, I will judge when I've sat down with them for 90 minutes.”
• “Disruptive is reinventing yourself, disrupting yourself, challenging yourself, reinventing your niche, your industry, when people think they can predict what you're going to do, you do something different, something disruptive, something courageous, being different, honoring who you are, showing the world who it is, creating a whole new model, creating a whole new industry, a whole new niche, and a whole new brand.”
• “If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.”

If you’re in an airplane with 300 other passengers and you could have a passionate piot or a competent, committed and consistent pilot which would you take? Passion whilst important in the beginner can be an overrated trait for entrepreneurs and often acts as an excuse for poor judgment and ‘gut’ instincts. In today’s honest episode, Rob discusses the value of consistency, commitment, and persistence in business and why creating enduring success and longevity is far more important than just being passionate about what you’re doing.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Passion is often an excuse for being emotional, acting reactively and using your ‘gut’ instinct instead of proper diligence or research. When you start of and you don’t have the experience, passion can be an asset that makes up for what you currently lack, but you’re still lacking.
• Enthusiasm is different from passion, it’s controlled. Passion is almost an uncontrolled emotion and enthusiasm shows commitment and an obsession for your business and customers.
• Puristance is keeping going despite the knockbacks whereas passion is uncontrolled excitement but persistence is the ability to just keep on going no matter the setbacks
• Consistency and Commitment are longer burning traits then passion and will carry you further in business because there is something behind it backing it up, with passion there is no substance behind it and it will burn out over time. Often a lot of the things that make you wildly excited in business and the things that you’re passionate about don’t make you any money.
• There’s a lot of people using passion as an excuse in business and they’re passionate about so many things that in reality they’re passionate about none.

BEST MOMENTS

“Every winner was once a beginner”

“Every master was once a disaster”

“Passionate people can lash out and be uncontrolled”

Interview with Junior Wimbledon Singles Champion and entrepreneur, David Lloyd. Rob and David discuss David’s journey from professional athlete to professional property investor what it takes to pivot from sports into business. Discover the mindset, skillset and work ethic needed to succeed as an entrepreneur and create sustainable and scalable income.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• If someone does not have the drive to do something or if his or her heart is not in that something that you want him or her to do, you can push them to do that thing but they are not going to do it. He or she has to have the heart of the talent in that particular thing for him or her to do it perfectly. 

• If you want any person to succeed in life, then what you have to do is listen to them and hear what they love and later on support them in that thing that they love to do, be it sports, business or any other thing. Encourage people to do what they love more than what they are told.  
• Dream big. Always have those dreams of success and always work towards achieving your dreams and you may never know, you might achieve your dreams in no time. Do not let any obstacles come your way and make you lose focus on your dreams. 
• If you can keep 95% of the people coming in your doors happy, you've succeeded, it's impossible to do 100% and you can do that with the price, with the quality of the equipment and the product that you are offering to your customers. Always focus on making at least 95% of your customers happy and you will always succeed. 
• For you to thrive well in the business world, you got to be confident in what you're doing and confident in the product you're delivering to your customers. Believe in your business, your product and you and the rest will fall into place.  
• Be prepared to learn if you want to venture into the business world and succeed. Take every little advice that you get from those who have a successful business and always maximize on that little advice. You also need to invest little money in developing yourself like paying for a business course. 

• In the business world, you have to accept both failures and successes. Learn from your failures so that you can do better next time.  
• Difference between entrepreneurship and corporation. Corporate companies scared of an entrepreneur making mistakes and doing his own thing which is not true. A good entrepreneur does the opposite because otherwise, you can't grow. If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate. An entrepreneur can be agile, making decisions happen quickly and then in these massive corporates, everything just takes forever. 
• You’ve got to be competitive for you to succeed in the business world. Always look at what your competitor is doing or producing and then make your product a better one than his or hers. Have that competitive spirit with a healthy friendship between you. 
• Market your product or services to the public if you want to have success in your business. Make what you are doing known to everyone. If you have to hire a salesperson in your company for your success, then go ahead and do it. 
• You should learn to become your independent financial advisor and learn to manage your own money and invest your own money because no one's going to manage it or invest your own money as well as you. 

BEST MOMENTS 

• “Give people all the opportunities and encourage them along, but do not make them feel like nobody for them to succeed in life.” 
• “Your business can only be successful if your people working for you are part of it.” 
• “You've got to try and cut out in any business the things that can damage you or least lessen them.” 
• “An entrepreneur can grow a business very quickly, but in a different way to a corporate body.” 
• “If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate.” 
• “Competition forces innovation.” 
• “Sportspeople should start businesses when they're still playing, but not when they’re forgotten.” 
• “Don’t overestimate your income, and don’t underestimate your costs.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• It a strategic decision pivoting from property to entrepreneurship and personal branding because I wanted to grow my business and serve my interests. To do myself and Mark needed to onboard trainers and mentors into Progressive Property so that they could begin to teach our courses and free up our time so that we can systemise our business and scale. 
• The strategic decision to step down from property and further pursue business was led with a post and announcement to our community and databases for accountability.

“I never wanted to be labelled as just a coach” 

“Business is a general passion of mine” 

“There’s a lot of freedom and flexibility with entrepreneurship”

“Children learn through imitation and through osmosis” 

“Even I left my last employed role and took Mark with me” 

“Maybe half the property providers in the UK have been trained or mentored by me or my companies” 

“We disrupted the Black Friday offer in the property training space”

• "It was all about proving wrong and proving the concept. And it once we proved the concept then include the business and then sold it."
• “It's all about the contacts you build.”
