Disruptors

You shout at the waiter when you're served with warm beer, you whine about your collection of Rolex watches because it isn’t that big yet, or you throw a fit because the queue is too long. Well, next time you complain about your 'first-world problems', think again!

In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob opens up your eyes to the things you should be looking at and be grateful of instead of letting the frustrations and complaints get ahead of your day. After watching The Staircase, a Netflix Original Documentary Series, Rob reflects on how he lived his life very differently from others. Learn from Rob how to have the mindset, grab every opportunity that comes and look at everything with an optimistic perspective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Put into context what is going on in your life. Maybe, it's just a small problem that you’re making a big big fuss about whenever you get frustrated. Think about how other people handled it. how could you not?
• You have so much stuff to be grateful for. Take this in mind. People are different in many ways. Look at how lucky you are when presented with opportunities, big or small.
• Focus on things that will make you feel alive. Your family and friends around you that you cling to are the greatest inspiration. Spend a lot of time with them.
• Who are your mentors? For Rob, it’s anyone who had a bad day yesterday but it still gets up to courageously face today.
• Treat your difficulties as a motivation.

BEST MOMENTS

• "We mustn't let small problems become big problems. We mustn't let the first-world problems overwhelm us and make us believe that life is hard, things are hard."
• "Be grateful with what you've got. There are millions and millions of people in the world who got it much harder than you."
• "If you're going through difficulties, know that people are going through more."

From your sappy romcom to your gore first-person shooter video game, there is a noticeable glorification of risk-taking in the media. But that is NOT the case when you want to be a successful entrepreneur.

In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob talks about being a smart entrepreneur by staying away from big risk-taking decisions. Statistically, there are a little number of successful entrepreneurs who really took the biggest risk that turned their lives around. Listen as Rob discusses why it should it be balanced, its pros and cons, and the tips on taking progressive incrementally-increased risk to become successful in a realistic amount of time!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You don’t need to risk everything. Risk is a balance. If you have nothing to lose – finances are in a bad state – then it’s acceptable that you risk getting out of that state. But if you’ve got savings, investments, mortgages, etc., then be smart about taking a risk.

Tips on progressive incrementally-increased risk to become successful in a realistic amount of time:

• You can make progressively-increased risk decisions.
  • Marginally get out of your comfort zone. If you push yourself too far out of the comfort zone, then you could risk making bad decisions.
  • When you invest, invest a small money that you can afford to lose.
  • If it goes well, scale it up incrementally. If it doesn’t, learn and grow from there.
• Be careful at looking at others glorified stories.
  • You look at your mentors, idolized them, and say to yourself, ‘I wanna do that, I’m going to that.’ Not yet! Look at the whole journey they took to get where they are – which may have taken them years and years.
• When you are financially unstable, you will make emotionally unstable decisions.
  • You’ll want to save something for you. Don’t take big risk-taking decisions.
• Don’t be impatient.
  • Like a diamond, a compressed carbon over a hundred thousand years, it takes time to be well-formed. Along the way, you get to build your skills, credibility, and experience.
• It’s okay not to want a massive empire.
  • It doesn’t have to be a big corporation to be a huge success.
  • It’s okay to want freedom, to shoo away from fame, to prioritize family, etc.
• Beware of very one-sided soundbites like ‘Go big or go home’, ‘Go all out’, etc.

BEST MOMENTS

• "You have to be careful because sometimes the story, the excitement of risking everything - this glory that we perhaps see can make us make a bad investment or strategic decisions."
• "Sometimes, you're modelling people that are way ahead of you and you're missing the 10, 15-year journey they took. It's bad to look at people way ahead of you."
• "It's okay to say no to some things. It's okay to reduce the risk, to not put yourself under a lot of pressure, and to do the things that are right for you."
• "Get comfortably uncomfortable, not uncomfortably comfortable.”

Welcome to The Disruptors Podcast!

In this episode, Rob answers questions from M- a Disruptive Entrepreneur Community member, about how to stop pedestalising your competition and in turn, making yourself feel insignificant or of no value compared to those people.

It is a common issue entrepreneurs face, especially when they look to grow. How do you avoid putting yourself down by saying “They’re better than me” without taking it the other way and looking at your competition in a negative light? Rob explains all and how he dealt with this issue in his own experience as he became the Disruptive Entrepreneur he is today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Practice an abundant mindset. There is room in the marketplace for all of us. Without competition, there would be no marketplace! There would be no fair prices, no fair exchange. Your competitors actually make you work to keep improving your products and services, which in turn increases you or your business’s value and ability to solve problems.

• Be grateful for your competition. You learn more from your competition than you do from your supporters, as they challenge you to craft something as good as (or even better than) their products and services. Your competition challenges you to improve on your weaknesses and evaluate why you do what you do.

• Embrace criticism- it will only help you grow. We seek validation from others, and the place we find that is with our followers and fans, but as nice as these comments are, they are deep within our comfort zone which we all know is the place we never grow. By embracing critics and criticism, you can open yourself to a world of possibilities if you just listen and take on board what you could do in order to improve.

• To be happy, you first have to be uncomfortable. Reaching outside of your comfort zone feels scary, exciting and nerve-wrecking all at once, but embracing the unfamiliarity and allowing yourself to progress through testing times will ultimately get you further toward your goal, thus giving you a sense of achievement and a boost of happiness that will then encourage you to progress even further.

• Rejection is just one step closer to a win.  Rejection feels tough, but the more it happens, the more resistant you become to it, and the closer you get to success.

BEST MOMENTS

• “No one is rejection proof. Everybody feels vulnerable. Let’s be honest, who likes rejection? No one. If someone says they like rejection, what they’ve done, is, they’ve learned to manage the meaning of rejection in their mind.”
• “ Every master was once a disaster. Every winner was once a beginner”
• “When you feel you’re superior, you will have to be humbled. When you feel you’re inferior, you will often get supported”

Welcome to another episode of The Disruptors Podcast! Today, Rob covers ten ways to get yourself out there, whether it means marketing yourself, giving your product a voice or creating a content. Whatever it is that you’re thinking about doing, stop overthinking, ask yourself “what’s the worst that could happen?”, start with what you know best, and then do it!

Key Takeaways:

1. Stop overthinking it and start testing it.

Don’t waste precious time worrying and overthinking about whether you’ll mess up, be judged or that you won’t be good enough and instead, just got for it. If it makes you feel more comfortable, take some notes, be prepared, talk about something you know well, just do it.

1. Remember that everything is a test.

Nothing ever has to be the perfect finished final product. If something turns out bad, you can always go back and fix it. Stop making it seem so big and permanent in your mind, understand how small your actions are in the grand scheme of things and take that pressure off yourself.

1. Ask yourself, “what’s the worst that could happen?”

What is the absolute worst-case scenario for putting your content out into the world? It’s not death, it’s not disownment, it’s the possibility that it might not get seen or that people might not like it. And if that happens, you learn from it and move on.

1. Ask yourself, “What will happen if I don’t?”

Think about what you’ll miss out on if you don’t take this step. Think of all the things that might not happen for you now if you don’t put yourself out there. Think about where you will be 10 years down the line if you stay too scared to move forward.

1. Remember that you can always press the delete button.

If you really don’t like something you’ve put out or afterward feel like you can do better than just delete it. You always have the option to change your mind and delete it. But first, you have to put it out there and give it a chance. You might even end up surprised at the results and be glad you chose not to delete it.

1. Get some accountability.

Make sure that there is a failsafe in place that forces you to take accountability and follow-through with your plans, whether it’s a coach or a mentor or even just making public posts on social media that force you into accountability because people have seen them now.

1. Start with something you know.

If you’re not sure where to begin when it comes to marketing your business, start by marketing yourself. Pick something you know a lot about or a very good at and talk about it. Use it as a practice run for being able to start talking about your business.

1. Start with your favorite platform.

Whatever your medium preference is: blogs, audio, video, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, start with that. There’s no rule that says you have to put your message on a certain specific outlet. Ideally, you should use all of them, but you can at least start with the one you’re most comfortable with and build from there.

1. Understand that you have something unique to share because you are unique.

Don’t limit yourself or keep your voice and ideas from being heard because you think there are other people saying better things than you. They can’t say them the way you can because there’s no one else in the whole world like you. There’s space in your niche for you.

1. Focus on your niche first.

Give yourself a narrow parameter in which to work. If you set unreasonable goals or try to reach too wide an audience too soon, you’ll likely overwhelm yourself and procrastinate on actually putting yourself out there.

Best Moments:

“We overthink putting ourselves out there, that we’re gonna be judged, that we’re gonna get it wrong, that we’re gonna make mistakes, that we’re not gonna be good enough, or have imposter syndrome, blah blah blah. Stop overthinking it, start putting yourself out there.”

“Nothing is final, everything is just the ongoing step in a very long journey.”

“Let the world be the judge, not you. But you can always hit the delete button.”

“There’s something that everybody knows better than everybody else.”
