Rob’s Rock Bottom Story

 

Rob’s dad owned a pub in the UK where Rob worked from age six. In 2005, when Rob was 26, his dad had a massive nervous breakdown in his pub. The police were called, beat his dad up as they tried to restrain him, and his dad was ultimately diagnosed as bipolar. Rob was humiliated, and he determined right then and there to make something of himself, to “make up for lost time after a decade of acting like an idiot.”

 

Fifteen years later, he has written 18 books, runs several companies, became a millionaire at 31, a decamillionaire at 35, and has raised more than a million pounds through his charities. He says he owes it all to his dad. He’s been able to help his dad retire, buy a house, travel, drive a great car, and he’s going to send him on a 55th anniversary trip overseas. “That’s what being an entrepreneur has given me,” Rob says.

 

Jeff says that, “when we rattle off CVs that are stale/cardboard, it doesn’t get to the essence of being a human being.” Rob’s story is so relatable to so many. And it really begs the questions: 

 

• Why do we do what we do? 
• How were we raised, and now how do we lead? 
• How do we take this to a higher, healthier, more productive level based on the difficulties we’ve gone through? 
• How do you disrupt yourself? 
• How do you disrupt an industry? 
• How do you become a disruptive entrepreneur? 
• And why does that even matter? 
• How does the world benefit from us thinking that way?

 

Rob answers these questions and more.

 

What Do You Do?

 

How often do we hear that question: “So, what do you do?” Jeff asks Rob what his answer is when people ask what he does for a living.

 

“I never answer what I do,” Rob says. “I don’t fricking know what I do. I spin a lot of plates. I like variety. I don’t want to be labeled or typecast. So I don’t answer what I do. I answer what my vision is, because I’m really crystal clear on that.”

 

Rob’s personal vision is to help as many people on this planet start and scale their business and get better financial knowledge. Full stop. He’s got billions of people he wants to help, and that is what he does. He answers that question in a vision statement.

 

Jeff has a vision statement as well. He helps CEOs confidently grow their business without losing their souls. 

 

Knowing your vision statement is an awesome leadership lesson. Why do we do what we do? Why were we put on the planet? The clearer we are with our vision, the more naturally things will flow to us that accomplish and further that vision, and the easier it is to say no to things that aren’t relevant to the vision.

A few years ago, Rob realized that, if he wanted to grow globally, which he did, he needed to extricate himself from his UK...
