Are you wondering how to generate more sales and create a larger customer base, but don’t know how? Rob tells us how you can use referrals and ambassador programmes to get more sales and build a loyal client base. Whilst many people wait for referrals, Rob details the importance of actively seeking them, learning the right time to ask for a recommendation and what rewards you can offer the referrer as an incentive.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Referrals are people who are offered to you as a genuine lead. Many people wait for recommendations, what you should be doing is actively seeking them. To do this you must firstly offer a great service at a great value so that your customers are grateful and they want to refer people. You need to seek out testimonials and recommendations. Wait until your client is at their highest point of gratitude, service or value. Some people will try for a testimonial as soon as they have closed the sale, however, the client may not have experienced the product yet and so there is a risk doin

Have you always been under the impression that not everyone is able to be an entrepreneur, so why bother trying? Join us today as Rob explains why this is not the case and what can set you apart from the rest. Learn today why now is the perfect time to contemplate your future goals, identifying business areas which excite you and the difference between being the employer and the employed.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone, but everyone can be an entrepreneur if they have the desire. If there was ever a time to contemplate what you are doing with your life and your business and where you see your life going, it is now. Life has been put on pause and to a certain degree, you may be comfortable at this time. Think about what areas of business excite you. Some people enjoy the strategy, marketing and the vision but for others, it may be the creativity and designing process. It is good to look deeper and question why you are not putting yourself out there more and identify internal fears

If you are in need of a bit of motivation under the current circumstances, then listen in to today's episode as Rob is joined by former world record holder, 3 time London marathon winner and MBE, the inspirational Paula Radcliffe. Together they discuss the importance of loving what you do, why surrounding yourself with a strong support network can help you overcome challenges in your life and advice on how to stay in a positive mind frame.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you love what you’re doing then you will invest far more effort, willpower and energy into getting a good result out of it. If you are doing something that you love it is conducive to being successful. It is much easier to invest everything into your career if you love doing it because you are getting rewards, every single day.   What you are and what you do everyday defines the person that you are. The accolades and the success you may achieve are only a small part of the person that you are. The person that you are is reflected in how you treat peop

If you’re constantly wondering how people manage to work a full-time job and hold down an additional income source on the side, today you can find out how this can be possible for you too. Join Rob today as he gives some advice on how you can achieve your business goals, by simply setting yourself a specific date to achieve your goals in order to keep you focused, defining your key result areas and making these the focal point of your time as well as ensuring you remain consistent when you’re in the flow of momentum.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Set yourself a specific date, some time in the midterm future where you have achieved whatever goal it is your desiring to achieve but haven’t yet set. Your time frame is depending on how much time you have, and how much income you have already. It is ideal to have a scalable plan somewhere between realistic and optimistic, optimistic maybe months, realistic maybe years. Go somewhere in the middle.    The first part of the plan is to compartmentalise your diary and slot in ke

Have you ever found yourself saying “I’ve tried that, and it didn’t work!” then today’s podcast is just for you as Rob discusses how to change your business outlook and why impatience can be detrimental on your journey. In this short yet sweet episode, Rob considers the importance of analysing how long you have tried something, before judging whether or not it was a success, changing your mindset to “I tried that but it didn’t work...yet.” and why focusing on the end result, will distract you on your journey to success.  KEY TAKEAWAYS   When you or people you know say ‘I’ve tried that, and it didn’t work.’ ask them, did you really try it properly? If they planted a seed in a garden would they come back the next day and say it didn’t work if there was no tree?   You need to look at how long somebody tried something before you can judge whether it did or didn’t work. If you catch yourself quitting and thinking something doesn’t work after a short period of time, you may want to instead say ‘tried that, didn’

It is not very often we have the same guest more than once on the TDE podcast, but today we’re breaking our own rules and are joined by American spiritual life coach, stand-up comedian and internet sensation who boasts a following of over 1 million on his youtube channel, JP Sears. Together they discuss how doing things that scare you will expand your comfort zone, how the true warriors in life are those who have the biggest tolerance for fear and while it’s great to learn from others, it is important to be conscious of the miracle of our own self.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes your plans come from a more limited consciousness, sometimes your plans can be ego-based or based on your expectations that you have gathered throughout life. Having that level of consciousness isn’t great, it is sleepy and you don’t want your life trajectory to come from that. When you live in the moment and you say yes to doing new things when it feels right, you will achieve better results. When we do things that scares us, that expan

If you often find yourself wondering where the hours of the day went, and wish to get better at managing your time, then don’t miss today’s episode as Rob discusses the three areas of time management many people overlook. Learn how to prioritise your key result areas and income-generating tasks, how to manage your energy so that you do not often find yourself unmotivated or distracted as well as learning to analyse your daily cycle of emotions, and cut yourself loose from external distractions which could be filling your head with overwhelming noise and distraction.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Time management area number one is ‘what are you prioritising?’ if you are prioritising admin and low-value tasks and other peoples emergencies then you are wasting time. If you are prioritising your highest value area, your key result areas and your income-generating tasks, then you are managing your time you have well.    Energy is huge. You can have a key life area and a high-value task on your to-do list, but if you are fe

Do you ever feel like you’re not as good as others in your industry? Or you think you won’t succeed at something, so why bother? Today Rob discusses imposter syndrome and everything that it isn’t. Rob explains the detriments of labelling your inner fears as an imposter and how this can cause them to become your reality, how comparing yourself to industry leaders when you are just a beginner will create self-doubt and why nobody is better at being you than you.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  We need to be careful of these labels that we put on ourselves because we can end up manifesting a reality that isn’t a reality, it is a fear which then becomes a reality. Imposter syndrome is where you are your own worst critic, you put yourself down and constantly tell yourself you can’t do something or that others are better than you.    Starting something new, or being a beginner at something should be one of the most exciting times. When you start your business or are beginning to scale, be clear on who your ideal client or dem

Staying relevant for over 40 years in an ever-changing industry can be challenging but with the power of a strong personal brand, anything is possible. Today’s guest, fitness entrepreneur and personal branding expert, Denise Austin shares her advice on building a brand, creating and monetising valuable content, adapting your audience over time and how you too, can live a happy and healthy balanced lifestyle.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Content is king. By being independent and by owning everything you can, you will be able to monetise your content and build your brand much easier. You can’t do everything all at once. You need to prioritise and compartmentalise as your work, business and life ebbs and flows in order to have an even work-life balance. In order to reach a balanced lifestyle, you need to focus on the different phases of your life and not stretch yourself, whether that’s focusing on being a parent, on launching your business or pivoting your business.   The fitness industry has evolved from TV to online a

Do you fear failure and think this will limit your success? In today’s episode, Rob discusses how to embrace frequent failures and how these can enable your future success. Learn how failing small, frequently and fast allows your company to grow, the benefits of living vicariously through your mentors’ mistakes and why you should fail with grace and gratitude so that the world will respect and follow you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Success is about frequent yet hopefully small failures. People often talk about getting better at success but they do not often talk about getting better at failure in order to succeed. Learn to fail small, fail often and fail fast. Create lots of different versions of your product and service for your consumer and learn from the failures of each one and update each version so that it improves on the previous version. If you have the ‘fix it’ mindset and not the growth mindset, you are going to embrace small and frequent mistakes in order to achieve big wins. It is a myth that you need to t

Are you the type of person who believes that the more hours you put in, the more successful you will become? Someone who works so hard, they end up burning themselves out? Well, today Rob discusses why you need to stop doing this. Learn today how taking your time, and making smart decisions will allow you to become more successful at a slower pace, how smaller, deep-dive working hours can maximise your impact and always remembering to appreciate what you have rather than what you want to do next.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: When scaling your business, you have got to think about timing, longevity, strategies and vision. All those things are not about pushing yourself harder, they are about taking your time, breathing it in and making smart decisions. Maintaining high-quality energy is vital. If you are burning out and your enthusiasm and passion have gone then you will end up pushing your business relationships away and they will not be inspired by you. You can’t maintain the quality of energy when working 12 hours a d

Rob is joined by entrepreneur, mentor and podcaster Spencer Lodge, recently voted as one of the most influential people in Dubai, UAE. Together, Rob and Spencer discuss how people continually judge others based on their social media profiles and the detriments this can cause, the importance of therapy and how talking to someone with no outside agenda can benefit your mindset and help you overcome your unresolved issues.   KEY TAKEAWAYS One thing that is pervasive on social media is that everybody is judging everybody. Social media users judge influencers or fellow users based on their content and how they perceive it. Judge someone when you have met them and spent a few hours on them, don’t judge someone from afar. We all have unresolved issues. If you care too much about what people think this may make you weak, vulnerable and needy, on the contrary, if you don’t care at all what people think of you that could make you a dictator, cold and uncompassionate. Asking for help and seeking advice from therapists

Discover the six stages that have been proven to create a successful event launch. Learn how important it is to have a short window of opportunity for your customers, how to create a ‘pre-pre-launch’ as well as ensuring your customers have all the key information they need to purchase before that highly anticipated launch date. KEY TAKEAWAYS When selling your product or service it is important to have a closing window. The problem with keeping it open is anyone knows they can get it any time and therefore there is no rush. If you have a short opening window for selling your product it is likely that you will sell more items in a shorter time frame. Having a “pre pre-launch” simply sows the seed and gets the idea into consumers’ mind. You may even ask your consumers for ideas for your new product to create interest. The pre-launch stage is where you are actually building up to the launch, you start from awareness, intrigue to desire and then to hunger. Then, when you open with a very limited window of opport

If you’ve ever wanted to start going Live on social media and wondered how people do it, how they get started or how they plan their content then join us today to find out how. Discover today how having a loose script or some bullet points can help you stay on topic as well as the importance of creating a distraction-free environment to go live in, and how the more content you create, the better it will become. KEY TAKEAWAYS If your content is single content obtaining one point or one idea, go live and just discuss and to a certain degree rif and freewheel and be comfortable with that. If you were doing a professional video for a website, have some bullet points to follow out of the viewfinder to prompt you.   If you do not have that much confidence in front of the camera or are fairly new to social media, create bullet points to follow and briefly expand upon each bullet point you wish to make as a reminder for you to stay on track.   Pick a subject matter to discuss that you are confident in. Ideally

Is there something you really want to achieve but somebody is telling you that you can’t? Or perhaps you’re telling yourself that? Well, learn today what the word ‘can’t’ really means; how when someone tells you that you can’t, they really mean they don’t want you to.  As well as discovering how the word can’t is a projection of your inner fears and failings when in reality you CAN do anything. KEY TAKEAWAYS The reality is, when someone says to you ‘you can’t’ what they actually mean is ‘they don’t want you to.’ Just because someone doesn’t want you to or doesn’t know how to do something, this does not mean you can’t or you shouldn’t. When you say to yourself that you can't do something, in reality, you don’t know how yet, or you have a secondary gain or ulterior motive for saying ‘I can’t’. For example, if you say that you ‘can’t leave your job’ your goal for saying this, is to protect you from failure, to keep you safe because if you say you can, you risk failure. To embrace ridicule, rejection, insignifi

DESCRIPTION Today, Rob is joined by American venture capital investor Tim Draper, whose most prominent investments include Hotmail, Skype, Tesla and Twitter. Learn today what investors look for in an entrepreneur and what it truly means to be one, as well as why it is important to visualise the future success of companies when investing in them rather than looking at what could go wrong.   KEY TAKEAWAYS As an early-stage venture investor, you need to put your money into a variety of different companies because it is only a small number of businesses that makes it big and so you have to have at least 20 or 30 investments in any given fund.   If a company is doing something entirely new and different there is not much research you can do so you have to just project out ‘what is the world going to look like in 5, 10, 15 years from now if these people are successful?’ That is the question you should ask yourself when considering to invest in a company rather than what could go wrong.   A true entrepreneur is

Are you looking to expand your business, but scared of growing too fast? Or even have a service to offer but have a fear of getting too many clients? Learn today why it is better to grow too big too soon rather than to have never grown at all as well as learning to embrace growth rather than fear it and why making yourself uncomfortable can benefit you immensely.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you don’t get started, you don’t get moving and the paradox of fearing growth, scale and success are that you never start and you never even end up getting one client let alone too many clients. If you start and make some progress, you will then build momentum and you can start to create goals for yourself.   The best way to create a good service and to know what your limits are and to develop your personal brand is to grow your business incrementally. The best mindset to have is to grow your business quite fast but have regular check-ins once you get to a certain scale.   Each time you go up to a new level, you may have momen

Discover today why for entrepreneurs the idea of a party can fill them with dread. Learn today why although transactional relationships are really crucial in business, creating deep and meaningful ones are just as vital and why it is important to look at who you are as a person and not just what you have achieved as an entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS Entrepreneurs can often get so consumed by their businesses that maybe they can forget about deep and meaningful conversations, friendships and connections. Business relationships can be somewhat transactional meaning you cannot form a deeper relationship with friends as you find that small talk difficult. Transactional relationships are really important in business, you need them with suppliers and clients. You must also invest in deep and meaningful relationships as well, you have to take risks and attempt to have those conversations with people by sharing things personal to you. They often say that the best form of revenge is success, but what is success? You c
