Jump in and listen to an innovative, creative and gripping interview with Entrepreneur, CEO and Co-Founder of Expert Apps, Darren Galvin. Khadija and Darren discuss his journey from credit card debt and losing it all to growing an 8-figure business and changing the way mentors and influencers interact with their audiences and all in just over a year. Tune in to hear some valuable lesson in business and in life and discover the mindset changes you need to make in order to achieve your goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Darren is business-driven, loves ideas and creation and is a father of five. His business journey for 10 years was a struggle and failed because of undercharging and the incorrect mindset. After leaving school at 15 Darren has always had a minimum wage job and therefore took that mindset into business and as a result, grossly undercharged.

• In May 2018 Darren along with his business partner Danny risked it all to create Expert Apps a software-as-a-service (SaaS) for businesses, coaches and niche entrepreneurs aiming to increase revenue, retention, referrals, reach and results (The 5 R's).

• We created the prototype and at £4,200 we did an event to showcase the idea and as a result, people invested with us. The interest in the product increased and so did the price, we starting selling at £25,000 and ended with a first-year turnover of £500,000 gross profit. It's a product for mentors, coaches, authors, influences so that they can have their own personal branded social networking app. It's powerful because it's helping them serve their clients at a level that's never happened before.

• What we're creating here is evolving all of the time. We're constantly evolving and learning. We started off in the property space and after viewing a property the pin dropped, why aren't we using this app and this technology in other spaces and other industries. We started building and evolving and therefore created an app for industry experts, tailored to them. A Martial Arts apps, a Football app, each one bespoke to their industry and used by the expert themselves. Expert Apps are now crowdfunding and taking the business globally. We've had over 40 people, coaches, mentors, industry experts adopt our technology in the first year and that's just the UK. So we're crowdfunding and we want to take this global. There are 2.5million people in the US with ‘Coach' in their title on LinkedIn alone, so we're a very attractive investment opportunity for seed and venture capitalists so there's growth to be had.

• When crowdfunding, make sure you get your timing right. In two weeks we've raised £425,000. But remember when crowdfunding you're asking everyone to take a risk in your business, investors are liable and you need to make sure they're investing for the right reasons and investing in the business owners themselves and not just the business concept or previous growth.

• You need to have a good team around you, between six of us at Expert Apps we've signed up 44 licenses, created this social media platform and it's just the beginning. I would say we're only 3% in our journey as a business and there's no stopping us.
  
  
• You need to set yourself a goal and see where you will be one year from now. Ask yourself where you want to be one year from now. Tell yourself where you want to be and don't listen to anyone else. There's a lot to be said for the law of attraction. Money is much easier to obtain when you believe this. If you want something you need to believe it will happen. Not just say it because it's what you've heard others say but believe it deep down and drive to get it.

BEST MOMENTS

“I had this burn in my stomach that I knew was right and I just went for it”

“High-interest credit cards are not the way to start a business”

“In the past, I didn't understand mentorship and coaching, I used to think they were just failed, business owners”

“The mentorship space itself is still lacking massively”

“How many times in your life have you said ‘If only I could be cloned'? all you need is the Expert App to create a virtual version of you.”

“In business, you don't always have to stay on the same path, as long as you're happy and focused”

“I'm big on KPI's and results. Assigning a set of measurements to track performance and generally, these are always too low. But with technology, we can serve our audience better”

“We have just had an eight-figure valuation on our company”

“I set myself a goal of standing on the stage as the owner of my own company and I achieved it. It was the most beautiful moment of my life”

Tune in to hear Khadija interview former Apprentice rival, 2018 winner and owner of luxury swimwear brand sianmarie.com, Sian Gabbidon. Khadija and Sian discuss what it takes to be successful in business and how the advantages and disadvantages of scaling a business. Sian shares with you her experience from winning The Apprentice 2018 and securing Lord Sugars £250,000 investment, what it's meant for her business and her personal life. Join in and learn business lessons from two successful female entrepreneurs and business owners.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• After winning The Apprentice 2018 Sian's business grew massively. The change in scale meant that her workload both customer-facing and behind the scenes increased.

• It is easy for people on social media to look at Sian's life and see it as a success, however, they do not see how much time and effort is going into making her a success.

• Upscaling the business as a result of winning the apprentice and securing investment has drastically changed Sian's workflow. Prior to The Apprentice, Sian was working on her own time scale, now she is having to become more organised. A structure which she is learning to adapt too.
  
  
• Although Sian is fully involved in the business side of things, she is still designing. That is what she loves to do and she enjoys to create new designs for her brand. Although, sometimes these designs do not always turn out as she envisions them.

• A career-high was seeing Michelle Keegan wearing one of her swimwear pieces. Despite gifting different celebrities and influences, Sian was unaware that Michelle would be wearing one of her pieces. This solidified that she was doing a good job in the industry.
• Although things for Sian's business are on the up, she is often pressured by others to expand her business even further. Whilst this is something Sian envisions for her company's future, she also stresses the importance of building her brand and cementing themselves within the fashion industry.

• As a young girl, Sian was keen to have her own retail shop, however, since the expansion of social media and the ease of running a store online, her opinion on this has now changed. Although, she is now planning to have her swimwear stocked in already established retailers also.

• Despite saying that Beyonce has always been her idol, Sian is now thinking from a business perspective. In terms of brand awareness, Sian would love to see a member of the Kardashians wearing one of her pieces, from a business perspective, something like this would sell out her range.
  
  
• Sian is using her newfound success and fame to give back to her local community. As a young girl finding relevant work experience in the fashion industry was difficult. She has now given the opportunity to two young girls and they are able to get a real insight into how a business is run.

• Sian's business is run from Leeds and finds it has not been necessary to relocate to London like once thought since she has her own contacts in the local area which she has formed solid business relationships with.

• A double-edged sword that comes with her fame and success, is the negativity she faces online with internet Trolls. Although at times she wishes to retaliate and defend herself. Her partner is quick to calm her down and it is soon forgotten about, she is focusing on being successful.

BEST MOMENTS

“Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring”.

[when describing how Lord Sugar has helped her along her business journey] “Great to have a mentor and a board of people to give advice”

“I am a businesswoman and designer. I need a team of people to help to get it out there”

“It is a long process. It's the first step of this crazy journey that was never going to happen. The retailer side. A new challenge that could lead to great things”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Khadija's Entrepreneurial Do'/Don'ts.

• Do - Use Quickbooks or Xero as soon as you start trading, and manage your finances from the beginning.
• Do Not - Do payroll yourself. For as little as £50 per ten employees, you can outsource this from others.
• Do - Promote yourself on social media and use a reputable company if you require some assistance.
• Do Not - Spend all of your money on social media and marketing until you are earning enough organically.
• Do - Employ staff for your company's growth.
• Do Not - Employ staff unnecessarily. You should be aware of each staff member return on investment and the revenue they will each individually bring to your business.
• Do Not - Pay a £28k salary for an email manager or an administrator if your turnover cannot justify this. KEEP COSTS LOW.
• Do - Be ambitious.
• Do Not - Be deluded. If you are not earning a livable wage after 12 months, you need to find out the reason why.
• Do - Be friendly to your staff.
• Do Not - Be their friend. If you allow friendships to form, lines become blurred and boundaries are crossed. Keep those boundaries clear.
• Do - Be a company owner.
• Do Not - Be a managing director, if people management is not your strong suit. Outsource the inhouse people management if required.
• Do - Know everything that is going on in your business.
• Do Not - Do everything in your business. Do not become a one-person army. Leverage, outsource and know where your strengths lie.

BEST MOMENTS

“I am known for keeping it real and cutting the crap, my strong mind and no filter when establishing right  from wrong has really helped me stand out in the entrepreneurial space”

“ I am honest about how hard business and life can be as a mother in a relationship and more so I am about to share a few home truths and snippets of what I think will help you.”

“Do not pay a 28k salary for email management/admin if your turnover cannot justify this. This can be outsourced and done well. Keep costs low. Kylie Jenner scenario a one-billion-dollar company 7 staff only 3 of them full time and a store on shopify”

[In reference to her post on social media] “ DO post things like this on social media. DO NOT worry about accompanying it with a picture, it helps capture people's attention. People may have scrolled through otherwise to help engage the audience”

In this introductory episode of Keeping It Real With Khadija, the star of the Apprentice 2018, business owner and mumpreneur, interviews best-selling author,  world-renowned public speaker, multi-millionaire educator and co-founder of the Progressive group, Mr Rob Moore. Khadija and Rob ‘keep it real' by discussing his highs and lows from over 17 years in business, as well as diving into the personal questions we all want to know!

What type of animal would you be? What type of cake? And, who would you invite to your dinner party! Rob reflects on his time as a young entrepreneur and discusses the advice he would give to his younger self, all topped off with some quick-fire questions, this episode is not to be missed. Tune in today and Keep It Real With Khadija. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As a businessman, if Rob were to be an animal he would be a bird of prey. Stating that he would not like to be an animal that could get preyed on, he would also like to have the freedom to fly.

• Rob discusses his creative outlets and how creativity in his life is a need for him and likens being creative as a therapy for him. Rob was recently paid by Progressive to do some painting, and although he is no longer doing this he is achieving his need for creativity through various different outlets such as his podcasts, and by creating crazy social media content. His love for being creative enables him to do something that nobody has ever done before. His introductions at The Property Super Conference were in a limerick format, something the world has never seen before.

• Rob Moore discusses the tips he would give his 20-year-old business thinking self.
• Focus: stop getting distracted by the party lifestyle and focus on your future. Drink and distractions are not good for business.
• It is okay to seek help and assistance from others. When he was younger he worked so hard, that sometimes mistakes happened. It is fine to seek assistance in the forms of PA's or advisors in order to take the heat off.
• Never lose the desire and ability to think big. Do not let critics who do not think as big as you get into your head and shadow your vision.

• The importance of those who you surround yourself with. Rob discusses how sometimes, people may be trying to hold you back, but it is important to have the self-awareness to think, are they holding you back or are they just trying to protect you? Rob also tells of the importance of his business partner and his wife, and how they are often trying to protect him. They think of the downsides and keep him sane, and whilst this can be frustrating it is appreciated.

• It's vital in business to not surround yourself with YES people, and those who will go along with anything you say as they do not want to challenge your ideas. Rob sees a challenge as a necessity, that in business you need to be challenged. He links being challenged as a business strength as it shows that people have the courage to challenge his ideas.

• Robs way of thinking and talking is very ‘Get to the point'. He admits that listening to others is the best gift you can give, however, he often takes a direct approach to those customers who are having one to one course with him. He often asks his clients to summarise their ideas into one sentence to get to the point of what they truly want to achieve. He would rather have his clients say that Rob challenged them in some ways, but that enabled their personal success in whichever way they desired than describe him as just a ‘nice guy'. They are paying him, to help them further their success and sometimes you have to challenge people in order to do so. Rob describes his impatience as one of his strengths.

BEST MOMENTS

“That was the dam opening to everything good that happened in my life from a business perspective”

“My son was born on the day of our biggest Property Conference in 2011, to have my son born that night, that was very special”

“A highlight for the business was breaking the public speaking world record”

“When I'm a fan of something, a musician, a watch, a brand I am their biggest evangelist”

“Still, to this day I am a case study for the local council”

“I was arrested”
