The Disruption Sessions - Episode 1 - Welcome!

The fastest way to learn business is to do it, is to face the fears, is to breakout. And this is what we talk about in The Troublemakers is the breakout. The breakout happens when your back is against the wall, you've got no exits, and you have to create. In the midst of that creation, with that leverage of no exits, you get clarity. And that's what I call the breakout. It's when you breakthrough your psychology, you evolve, you start to see the world differently. 

And if you look at many, many successful entrepreneurs they say that their million dollar idea, their billion dollar idea came when their back was against the wall, when they had no exits and they tapped into a new level of creativity. And to me that is what the breakout is. 

In this Disruption Session I explain what it takes to make the breakout.

The Disruption Sessions - Episode 2 - Making The Breakout!

If you’re feeling stuck in life or stuck in your business, how do you get your Mojo back?

One of the things when it comes to business is that we often have setbacks, we often have challenges and it's really, really tough. I talk to a lot of entrepreneurs and if we knew how hard starting and running a business was, would we actually have started the business in the first place?

It's often an interesting conversation internally, especially when the proverbial shit is hitting the fan, which is often. You may have even said things to yourself like ‘why did I ever start this business? I’m just going to go back to the corporate world’. 

This Disruption Session will help you find your mojo and reconnect you to your mission.

Commitment is the first step in the 5 Steps to Rapid Change! 

However, commitment has become a bit of a buzzword lately, so what does it mean? 

To me, commitment means showing up when you don’t want to. 90% of success is just showing up! See it’s easy to show up when you’re feeling excited, you’re pumped and raring to go, you have clarity on what it is you want to achieve. 

But what happens when you’re going through a period of challenge and every part of you feels like giving up and going back to safety, such as the safety of a 9-5 job. 

To me, commitment isn’t something that is instant. It is something that we need to work on, because we can’t zig without zagging. We can’t be perfect (i.e. motivated) all the time, but what we can do is develop some strategies to get us back into a position to take action very quickly. 

One of the biggest questions I ask when testing someone’s commitment is ‘what are you willing to endure?’

In this Disruption Session I share with you the strategies you need to stay committed, to work out what you would endure, to help get you to your goals in the fastest timeframe possible.

The Disruption Sessions - Episode 4 - How Do You Get Committed?

In this podcast I interview serial entrepreneur Julian Moss! 

Introducing Julian: 

My name is Julian Moss. I was born in Pakistan. My father was a diplomat and mother a War Correspondent. I graduated from the London School of Economics and I am an entrepreneur.

I made my first million dollars at the age of eighteen whilst living in London with a concept called ‘Pic with a punk’. After graduating from University I left the UK and headed to Australia with a dream.

I started an IT Recruitment company called JKM Consulting which became BRW’s top ten fastest growing private companies with a turnover in excess of $200 million. I sold the company and decided to start an alcohol manufacturer and boutique liquor company with a friend from University. We named it ASM liquor. This is a real-life David versus Goliath story.

Our first product Vodka O was voted the smoothest vodka in the world and second biggest seller. After a few years, we expanded our portfolio to include Rum’s, Gin, Tequila and Scotch with great success.

Three years ago we decided to launch a super premium vodka called VDKA 6100. James Packer came into the business as a shareholder. He assisted in persuading Robert De Niro to become Co-Creator and Brand Ambassador for this new Vodka. The story of “Zero to De Niro” is a remarkable one.

ASM Liquor has now launched its brands into over 30 countries and is a force to be reckoned with, offering consumers a whole new range of products.

My experience in building fast growing successful nimble entrepreneurial companies has been proven. The tools and techniques I have used with the remarkable teams I have put together is a fantastic story.

How do you create your future now? 

First you have to look at a concept known as 'cause vs effect' and ask yourself are you living at cause, where you're in the driver's seat and responsible for your life, or are you living in effect, where you believe that everything that happens in your life is someone else's fault. 

In this episode I explain in detail how to live on the cause side of the equation, and how I was able to move to this position at a point when my life was in chaos!

The Disruption Sessions - Episode 6 - How To Create Your Future Now

How do you break out of your job? 

First, we've got to adopt that troublemaker's mindset. 

Now, what is the troublemakers mindset? 

The troublemakers mindset is being willing to challenge rules. In fact, you're not willing to just challenge those rules, you're willing to get into a little bit of trouble. 

These rules could be your own internal rules that you put on yourself about what's possible, about what you should be doing, and all of those interesting things that we pick up as far back as from childhood. So the first thing is that we want to disrupt your rules internally. Then we want to disrupt the rules of some other people, maybe mum's rules, maybe dad's rules, maybe your boss's rules. 

In this episode I explain how to break those old rules, disrupt old patterns, and break out of your job.

Perfectionism kills business!

When someone is launching a business, mistakes are going to happen, it's part of the process.

What I often see is people wasting $10-20k on building the perfect website, having the perfect flyer, crafting the perfect business card, when they don't yet understand what their product or service is, and if their ideal customer is even interested in what they offer!

In this Disruption Session we look at working out who your ideal client is, how your product or service can solve their problem, and how to develop the mindset required to accept that your business won't be, and shouldn't be, perfect from Day 1.
