How do you make admin and operational staff revenue-generating? This is a question that runs in many entrepreneur’s minds, and in today’s episode, Rob shares his advice, tips, tactics and strategies on how to monetise your business, get quality staff and services for free and how business owners and entrepreneurs can scale their business.KEY TAKEAWAYS Referrals are the best way to get staff for free because you don’t have to pay for the recruitment fee.

Do not concern yourself with misinformation, debate, discussion and arguments concerning things such as COVID. Don’t change your strategy for the sake of COVID.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Intuition is simply all your past experiences connected in a memory recall that give you a ‘feeling’ about a certain person or deal and whilst this can be useful, practical research is also essential to decision making. Intuition doesn’t give you the full picture.   Some peoples intuition is inexperienced and if you’re using intuition based off of bad past experiences or recurring issues to make decisions you will end up making the wrong decision.   People are delegating proper research, analysis and accountability when they default to just ‘using their intuition’.

Realists are worried about making mistakes, taking risks, failing and what other people feel about them. If you want to change the world you can’t be a realist, you need to be an optimist   A realist waits for the proof something can be done, an optimist explores what could be done and hasn’t been proven yet.   The optimist thinks the pessimist is scared and the pessimist thinks the optimist is naive and in reality,
