Disruptors

“I believe you can grow too fast, if you’re just obsessed about growth, things will break”

Growing your business empire is a goal for most entrepreneurs, but how do you do this successfully? In this episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob discusses Growth. He discloses his top tips on how to grow your company's success as well as discussing common shortfalls of how attempting growth can fail. Listen today to find out more about how to grow your company.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• REDUCE YOUR RISKS- Collaborate.

Reduce your risks in the testing phase or growing your company. Progressive is looking to expand globally. Test by using a partner, they will have their own contacts, their own resources. That way, I don’t create overheads, I don’t create fixed costs and I don’t really have much risks.

I am a big believer in collaborations, I know a hugely successful events company, and I always wondered how they consistently filled out huge events. I then found out they have a central company in America, and then what they do they find the big promoters in the countries and they partner with that promoter. They have one hub and they have global partnerships, that dramatically reduce your risks.

If you’re in property, just see every new purchase, builder or mortgage as a test. Then, when you find a good one, do everything you can to keep them and that partnership.

• PUSHING GROWTH- Capacity

How far do you push growth? I think this depends on your personality,  your available resources, experience, your systems, your capacity your capital resources, human resources, etc.

There is no hard and fast rule. You want to build a good sense of self-awareness. What is your capacity for what you can take on? There is a really fine line between being on fire and being overwhelmed.

Growth forces you to improve your systems, improve your mindset. Sometimes, being pushed too much is fine, but I think you have to test the capacity of what breaks.

What is your previous experience? For example, if you have never bought a buy to let before, how do you know how many you can handle?

I have business mentors that have a mindset ‘don’t hire anybody until something breaks’ I would have other people that would argue ‘hire in first, so things don’t break’.

A common entrepreneurial trait is to never say no. This is both a blessing and a curse. Remember, when you get to maximum capacity, you need to learn when to say no.

• WHAT IS YOUR END GOAL?

What do you want from this business? Some people want a lifestyle business, they want a passive, recurring income. They want to work from their laptops for a few hours a week. If this is your goal, you must learn to say no. You have to slow growth down.

If you want to be an active entrepreneur, you may have just a year to replace your income. You have the time and desire to hustle hard you can then take on a lot more.

It is the continual building of self-awareness to know what your limits are.

• CONTACTS

You have to build your contacts. If you have three really good brokers, you can probably buy a few deals simultaneously, if you have never used one before, then you have to go through the pain of finding one. If you have refurb teams, that you can entrust to run multiple contacts simultaneously then you can handle the capacity to do multiple refurbs at one. If you’ve not got this, then you would be unable to do this.

Growing your contacts will grow your business.

• CAPITAL

The available capital that you have to spend on growing your business will reflect the growth. If you have more than enough capital, you can scale a bit quicker. If you do not have this, then the growth phase will take longer.

BEST MOMENTS

“Some people often say that in order for businesses to be successful they have to be ever-growing, I'm not sure I agree with that”

“I believe you can grow to fast” “if you’re just obsessed about growth, things will break”

“Growth forces you to improve your systems, improve your capacity, your mindset.”

“find and hire smart people to give them a little bit too much to do and then get out of their way and let them do it”

They discuss inspirational films, books, money, motivation and why David is only just getting started.

This is an incredibly inspiring and motivational episode with huge value,  you will want to listen to it more than once get started now!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Money

There are so many other more interesting things you can do with your money than buy stuff

People have stuff because they want you to believe they are rich, smart, powerful and handsome.

You could use your money to start a business, grow a business, help a charity to get started, help someone else, start a business or buy land and give it to conservation.

My attitude towards money and wealth hasn’t changed over time.

I know a lot more now about life and business relationships, what I want to accomplish in my life and what I don’t want to waste my time on.

It’s important to recognise that lots of people don’t have money so if you do you have no right to squander it you should use it to build value and solve problems create jobs

You should try to move the ball down the field for other people.

Entrepreneurship

For years incremental thinking was enough but now things are moving so fast we need a total rethink to solve problems.

Don’t be afraid of failing because your ‘plan B’ will be better than your ‘plan A’

Your ‘plan B’ by definition will be more successful than your ‘plan A’  because you already know what not to do.

If you want to be an entrepreneur you can’t be afraid of what others think and say you’ve got to always be moving forward and never back.

Strength and weakness

In everything, the focus is on improving areas of weakness but the statistical data that suggests you can only make marginal improvements to your areas of weakness but you can improve in your areas of strength almost infinitely.

The system finds it easier to put everyone in the same box and this results in lots of people who look and sound the same.

Everyone is good at something and that something is what the individual should focus on not worrying about the things they are not good at and improvement can be almost infinite.

 The media

There are now so many content distributers it’s a content creators world but you have to be able to survive and make money.

It’s a fantastic new world for good content creators, if you follow a trend you can make money but if you follow a fad you’ll go broke.

A Total Rethink - Entrepreneurs should act like  revolutionaries  

There is a story that needs to be told.

The world has been operating with a basis of incremental change in business and in life since the industrial revolution but now everything is moving so fast we need to change the way we look at the problems.

A change in approach and thinking is necessary for the planet and also offers great opportunities for making money.

The book doesn’t solve all the problems but it highlights the big problems and highlights how I’ve solved similar problems with suggestions of how we could solve some of the global problems based on my personal experience.

Motivation

Why would you live an ordinary life when you don’t have to?

Money is not my motivation and I’m just getting started everything I’ve learnt up until this point is for what I’m going to do next and I haven’t yet done the big thing I’m meant to do.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It isn’t a political problem it’s a global problem and the business opportunity is in solving the problems’

‘People have to work out what makes them happy in life’

‘If they see a problem that they want to solve why would they not take a chance for  happiness’

‘The only equaliser between us all is time’

‘It's way easier to buy something than start something’

• My podcast, coaching calls, books and work essentially is the way I turn around that force into something productive. 
• I know that no matter how bad my day has been; I know I can turn it into something great. I often even find that the worse time I’m having, the better I am as a mentor, coach, leader, creator etc...

Marketing is the engine of every business and it drives the revenue for every department. But how do you master marketing, increase your inbound sales and reduce the pressure on your sales team? The answer...The Elegant Sales Formula. Over the past decade, Rob has developed a proven sales formula that mixes content with relevancy to increase sales without you even having to pick up the phone. Listen in now to discover more. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Imagine a shop. Sales is when somebody visits your shop and is cross-sold and upsold but Marketing is getting that somebody into the shop in the first place. Marketing is the lifeblood of your business and where all the income comes from.  
• If your marketing is good it reduces the friction in the sales and you become less reliant on sales 
• Marketing increases sales 
• Marketing is inbound and generates leads, interest, referrals and clients. Sales is outbound focused. 

How to flip your perception of sales using the Elegant Sales formula  

• Mindmap your product journey and build out solutions to your customer's problems that develop into product or service offerings, as a result, you will reduce the friction at each point of sale. Don’t overwhelm your clients with a horizontal sales suite. Offer multiple verticles so you can offer your customers the most relevant product offering.  
• Produce enough content that’s commercially beneficial and you become the logical choice for your niche. Aim to create 7-10 hours of connection, engagement and rapport before selling, this way they’ll feel confident paying for your product or service and as they enter your product suite it needs to have multiple verticles. You want to show your customers and clients only the next imminent thing that’s relevant to them.  

BEST MOMENTS 

• “Marketing is the lifeblood of your business and where all the income comes from” 
• “In your first three hires, you need to employ somebody you does your marketing. In the beginning, I was sales, marketing, brand and everything” 
• “I realised pretty quickly that marketing is the engine of the business” 

• “22 of my 75 staff are hands on the ground and dedicated to marketing functions” 
• “Relevant sales reduce the friction between the customer and the transaction.“ 
• “Producing lots of content creates low friction and high trust”

Have you ever wondered how you would survive in business? Have you ever considered how to grow your company whilst avoiding the chaos and breakages every start-up faces? Well, in today’s episode of Disruptors, you’re about to find out! Tune in to hear Rob dive into business survival and discuss the things that break the disruption of growth. Discover how to overcome the challenges and difficulties your business will inevitably face as you grow in size and influence and learn how to focus on surviving and thriving regardless of the chaos around you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Growth Paradox

• Growth is the thing all entrepreneurs strive for. It’s what drives us forward each year but when is it ever enough? Because the faster you grow the more things break and the faster they break. However, if you’re okay with dealing with the breakages of growth it’s okay to grow aggressively
• The harder you grow the more chaos and disruption there is so, balance your growth plans with something that realistic and achievable but that’s also exciting.

Overwhelm & Delegation

• As you grow you need to begin to delegate and outsource all of the things that you used to do because now you will be overwhelmed. But whatever you do, don’t overgrow and under delivery, ensure you plan throughout your growth so you’re prepared for the overwhelm when it comes.
• Always be proactive to growth and not reactive, but regardless, always grow.
• Sometimes it’s better to launch a campaign without the planning and cause the growth without any order or plan in place. If you have the right team around you, the order will come afterwards. Growth is followed by order and vice versa, it’s the cycle of a growing business.

Culture Shifts

• Train help and support other members of staff. You can’t be selfish anymore and you need to build a team around you with systems and documents to run the day-to-day business so you can focus on the growth.
• As you grow and embrace your team you’ll discover a level of leverage and management, now it’s important to save time by hiring and training others, however, with this mean you’ll need to have performance plans, management KPI’s and go through a culture change as your business grows.

Layers Of Management

• As you get bigger you need layers of management in your business and you need to begin to work less but watch and observe more. Avoid the natural entrepreneur tendencies to always work and begin to work on your business rather than in your business.
• With the growth and the layers of management, you start to find staff that hide and do not necessarily pull their weight for the business.
• Always be prepared for the culture shifts and ready for growth but don’t lose your one-man-band, innovative feel because that’s your growth area.

Freedom

• Ultimately you have freedom by owning the business however you’re responsible for the business, your brand, your online presence and the careers of those that work with you to achieve the businesses goals.
• People don’t work for you, everyone works for themselves and they use you in their life if you meet there values and needs. If this is the case, loyalty will be created. Therefore, if you understand your employee’s and their motivations the chance of a fruitful working relationship increases and breeds longevity.
• Always look to hire ambitious people that are invested in their career growth and try to meet their needs and relate to their values.

Management Of Your Emotions

• Become a leader by owning your business and inspiring your staff. You can't manage with your emotions.
• Don’t let your emotions control your actions and instead focus on your business, train your staff and develop systems in your business. Often we react emotionally because something has touched a nerve and we act before we can speak.
• Most of the time the best way to handle a situation with critics, trolls and haters is to say nothing and simply focus on your business and serving your customers.

Competitors

• Don’t hate your competitors be obsessed about learning from them, but don’t let it compromise your own focus and vision for your business to grow.
• Your competitors should energise you and your business so focus on your clients more than your competition. Always look to serve your customers to the best of your ability.
• See your competition as someone that keeps you lean, motivated and hungry to grow and improve your product offering.
• Increased competition in your market place is a good thing, it pushes the industry forward and increases exposure for everyone operating in the market place.

BEST MOMENTS
“When growing your business you’ll face chaos, breakages, challenges and difficulties”

“There’s a great upside to knowing all of the challenges you’ll face in business, the legalities, the competition and how to innovate through difficult markets and grow through recessions.”

“I work for my team and provide them with what they need.”

“Discipline equals freedom and hardcore accountability leads to freedom”

We worry what people think about us but some common false assumptions that people make is that we can make everyone like us and that they’re thinking about us all of the time. One of the most important and liberating things is to accept that there will always be people who support you and people who don’t.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In any time and space there will be someone who loves you, someone who loathes you, someone who supports you, someone who challenges you, someone who stands against you and someone who doesn’t like you.
• It’s likely that someone on this plant has very similar values to you but it’s also very likely that there is someone who has the complete opposite values to you. Those who have similar values to you will support you and those who have opposite values to you will challenge you.
• For humanity as a group to be better, individuals have to be better and to be better we have to interdependently serve each other. We all produce and consume for each other which means we all have to be better at different things.
• No matter who you are there will always be someone who supports you and someone who doesn’t support you. Accepting that is liberating.
• When you don’t put yourself out there because you’re scared of critics, you don’t actually have any less critics, you just don’t know who they are yet because you haven’t put yourself our there.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Every human has an individual set of values that are most important to them in their life’

‘Everybody is different and no two people are the same’

‘Evolution seems to be to me a random selection of improvement of genetics.’

‘Be stronger not weaker, be better not worse.’

Having an unbeatable mindset actually involves not thinking about money a lot. 

So, let’s go back to the basics. What do we need to know first? 

Listen to Rob answer all your questions in this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast. From creating your content to having good spending habits to pricing your products and services, Rob sheds a light on how you can improve your mindset so you can always bring your A game. When you have the right attitude when you deal with every decision or every task, it’s easier to attract success and the growth of finances. Focusing on the money, and not on the process or even the value that will come out of what you’re doing, will not bring you abundance. 

Start listening and learn more from Rob. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Why do some people fear success? What they are afraid of is not the success itself but the consequences that come with it in their relationships. We can’t do anything about their insecurities and their doubts about us.   
• How do you accurately price your products/services? Do a market research and put into mind fair exchange. First, make sure that what you’ll put out is something valuable and sustainable to your market. If you think you already need a price increase, then test it out to find out what’s your ceiling fair exchange. 
• What are some bad money spending habits? People spend money to stuff that can make them happy, whether it be for instant gratification or long-term investments. Rob himself is guilty with his impulsiveness, but he makes sure that he doesn’t erode his capital in the long run. 

• How do you identify your most valuable skill to gain the maximum money? Find what you’re passionate about. It might be something that people keep telling you you’re good at or something you have grown to love unexpectedly while choosing your career.  
• What do you need to target? Don’t put too much focus on increasing the finances, be process- and outcome-driven. It’s easier and more definite that the money will continuously come in when we put out something that’s improving. 
• How do you put yourself out there? Just do it, even if it scares you. Start putting some content out there.   
• How do you monetise a new show? Rob advises not to monetise it until you reach 20 episodes. You need to gain steady listeners first.  
• How did you grow from single deal to multiple deals? Growing your portfolio should be done incrementally. Start with single-let’s and HMOs.

“I made a very strategic decision about 5 years ago to stop drinking alcohol.” 

There is no judgement from me in this episode; I just wanted to share with you all my views on whether alcohol and entrepreneurship work together. I get asked about this a lot by people because I don’t drink alcohol anymore.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• As I got older my hangovers got longer and when I’m working for myself I always want to be on it and energetic. Drinking essentially made me waste a lot of time and for me, time is money. 
• I find that when I drink, even if I only have 2, it makes me tired, grumpy and want to go to bed early and still have a bit of a hangover the next day. For someone like me who’s an ‘all or nothing’ type of guy I could just not drink and use my time more effectively.  
• If drinking is a big part of your social and business life, then maybe drink on a Friday so you’re fresh and ready by Monday. Or you could just drink once a month rather than every week. 
• I don’t believe there’s any harm in quitting drinking and I’m aware there is a lot of social pressure to drink. 
• You could try testing 1 month without any alcohol and see what happens. You might find that you don’t actually enjoy drinking. 

• For me, business and entrepreneurship is really important and drinking alcohol isn’t. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Alcohol affects productivity.’ 

‘If you can have control and know your limit then that’s good self discipline.’ 

‘Discipline is doing something you should do even if you don’t want to be doing it.’ 

‘I found 0 is easier and better than 2 drinks per week.’ 

‘I don’t think you should worry about what other people think and all of the other social pressures.’

If you are honest about what you think, 50% of people may hate you but a good amount of people will warm to you because not many people are honest and prepared to be hated for it.

We all go through a process of needing to reconcile what people have said about us.

I need to be loved by my family and a few people who are close to me. I appreciate people who tell me I’m doing a good job but those who stop me and tell me they hate me are of no importance to me.

What people read in the media is an element of me and I have to be responsible for it, they gained that impression of me from my commentary.

It can be vile to them but is a truth for me.

We all have truths and my truth may be completely different to your truth about something but none of us thinks we are being dishonest.

• Is there anything you shouldn’t have said?

There is nothing I would retract, apologise for or explain.

I acknowledge there will some things out there that I shouldn’t have said but you can’t ever apologise or explain on twitter because you will never win.

Your critics can be good for your career, your posts don’t go viral from the people who post nice comments, they go viral when someone gets upset and there is a massive sub-thread and argument.

• What’s it like being in the public eye?

When you’ve been in the public eye you build resilience and recognise that a lot of people who are critical of you, want to be you.

I’m good at dealing with criticism but not that great at dealing with compliments. If you get 9 compliments and 1 troll it's vital you don’t just respond to the troll.

If you get a compliment it’s important to own it with thanks.

We can spend lots of our time looking and hearing from the same faces in the media when the really interesting stuff is everyone else. The everyday interactions and conversations we are all a part of make up the genius of life.

• What’s being disruptive for you?

Disruption for me is not being satisfied and going along with things because it’s easier.

It’s always harder to swim upstream but it’s so worth it.

• Swim upstream and you'll be alright.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You say things that other people don’t have the courage to say’

All the best people are mad, all the best people are weird and if you are  mad, weird and alone, I believe you are heading in the right direction’ 

‘That’s what anybody involved in alternative media is about, we are trying to be ahead of stuff’
