But it’s not 'uncommon sense', i.e. contrarian common sense. So don’t learn from your mistakes, learn from others.   We all make mistakes, I still do, however, I would make way more if it wasn’t for my wise counsel, mentors, good peer group etc…  If you get offered a decent amount of money for your company in a recession, then you should seriously consider the offer because you don’t know what will happen a few years later down the line. Don’t be greedy.  If you want to go to your next level, then YOU can only get YOURSELF there as quickly as you

It’s important to know your self worth especially when pricing things that have taken you a long time to be able to do but the materialistic cost is very low. Included in this episode, Rob shares his experiences and learnings from when he was trying to become a successful artist.       KEY TAKEAWAYS  I didn’t focus on the commercial aspect of art. I just focused on painting, if I didn’t sell well then I would paint more. I didn’t feel like I could charge much because the cost of producing the product was cheap.  I was pricing my work depending on the material costs and I didn’t want people to think I was ripping them off. But what I didn’t factor in was my whole life’s work.   I didn’t know what other artists were doing and I didn’t know what was going on in the art scene. I isolated myself away from everyone which made me very introverted.   I didn’t leverage other people as an artist. Now as a businessman, I would really take advantage of networking and working with lots of other people. Just getting you

It was such an adventure, we had fantastic opportunities for franchising and product endorsements. In 2014 it became tricky because by then the whole world was doing fitness.

Who should you hire? In this episode of Disruptors Rob discusses whether you should hire experience over attitude. Attitude can cost less money than experience but can that person can do the job how you want? Listen to this episode to find out!   Key Takeaways I don’t believe there’s a hard and fast answer. You need to think of your company’s vision and resources. Hiring youth can give more energy and work ethic. Hiring experience can bring better quality. Which your choose to hire I believe is role dependent. If you hire potential talent that is cheaper then you have to train them and guide them to get them to where you want them to be. Where as with experienced people you will have to pay more money for them. A lot of people who hire cheaper less experienced people don’t tend to consider things such as agency fees, not bringing in money for the firs 3 months or becoming uninterested and actually loosing you money. Don’t hire someone who doesn’t have experience in something that you can’t teach them. It wo

Are you feeling rejected all of the time and struggling to deal with it? Rob shares solutions for dealing with rejection and how you can turn the negative into a positive.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Solutions For Dealing With Rejection.  Rejection is never about you, it's always about them. People don't know what you've gone through in your life, they don't know the pain, they don't know the things that trigger that feeling of rejection. They don’t know you feel you’re not worthy, alone and a failure, no one knows that stuff.   When they reject you, they have no awareness that all these emotions. They're not rejecting you because they don't know your life circumstances, what they're rejecting is your pitch, the timing of your pitch and how you approach them.  When you realize that rejection is never about you and always about them, you're able to not have the rejection affect the being of who you are because everyone is going to be weak and vulnerable at times.  Everyone gets rejected.
