He explains how he went from debt to owning 345 properties, the revenge story of buying his ex-boss's furniture and a property deal where he put in £200,000 to get a £20 million asset! Rob also reveals how personal development courses changed his life and why he values meaningful business over pure wealth. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Rob bought Think Big Education for £5,000 during the 2008 recession, getting a business that made tens of millions globally plus a 100,000-person database worth £250,000+. • A good email database generates £2-5 per person per year, making Rob's 100,000-person database worth £200,000-500,000 annually in potential revenue. • The company had £1 million in course obligations, but Rob cut costs by 85% and spread payments over two years while creating additional sales opportunities. • Rob changed from a negative critic to a positive entrepreneur, through courses like Tony Robbins programs, calling it the biggest shift in his life and business. • Rob and Mark built 345 properties over 18 years, with one upcoming deal set to double their entire portfolio! • When Rob's toxic former boss went bankrupt, he bought £50,000 worth of designer office furniture for £500 at the bankruptcy sale. • Rob prefers building meaningful businesses that help people over pure wealth accumulation, choosing purpose over profit maximisation. BEST MOMENTS "I actually love being a course junkie. I'm still a course junkie. I wanna do as many courses as possible 'cause I want to learn. The more I learn, the more I earn." "I paid five grand for this company... it had to be globally, tens of millions turnover... for five grand, I didn't care because I knew that I could monetize the database a hundred x on that." "He printed 'em out on a piece of paper and he went, there's four for you. There's three for you. Four to me, three to mark. You sell 'em all or you're both fucking fired." "We paid 3.8 million for it. We sold the retail unit at the bottom for 3.6, so we were 200 grand in on a 20 million pound project." "I'd rather be worth a hundred mil... doing really good things in the world than be a billionaire in a gambling firm."
