"80% of people who work for someone else, hate what they do." 'Interview with a Rockstar' introduces entrepreneur, CEO and founder of Rockstar Group, Jonathan Pfahl. In his day to day role, the Aussie born entrepreneur operates a seed fund, crowdfunding platform, mentoring group and startup accelerator as well as having a broad range of private equity investments and interests. There are few better versed in identifying a successful opportunity right now than Jonathan and his black book of industry contacts. Born in Australia and emigrating to the UK, Jonathan began his first venture at the age of 9. He studied down under before working in investment banking at Goldman Sachs. After a number of years in Hong Kong also, the allure of working for himself and the advice his father and role model gave him: "You will never get rich working for someone else" led him into establishing Rockstar Group. Today Jonathan is a regular public speaker at startup events at locations such as the Great British Business show as well as helping startups scale. If you want to find out more about Rockstar Group, and are keen to find out more about their mentoring or crowdfunding, visit their site: www.rockstargroup.co.uk I ask Jonathan what it takes to be an entrepreneur, what was his best failure and how to identify the right business idea.

Jonathan is the Founder and the Managing Director of the Rockstar Group, the UK’s largest Entrepreneur and Mentoring firm. Whilst still only in his 30s, Jonathan is a driven and successful entrepreneur who is passionate about working with entrepreneurs who are determined to see their business grow. He achieves the goals with his mentees by making them measurable and achievable, but at the same time, will have an immediate effect on the business. In this episode you’ll learn… The great unique investment opportunity that Jonathan created which allowed him to escape the rat race and start his own company What the 5 key qualities are that define a ‘Rockstar Business’ The commitment that you will need to put in if you want to launch a new business whilst still holding down a 9-5 job The common mistakes that most people make when starting a new business, and how to avoid them Why your perfect customers are the ones that will help you define your USP (unique selling proposition) The 3 main reasons why so many businesses go bust and never survive longer than 5 years How Jonathan navigated his way through the 2008 global financial crisis when Rockstar was barely one year old, and what his biggest business mistake was during that period What happened when Jonathan bumped into Robert Kiyosaki, the author of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ outside a pub in Mayfair, London Why owning your own business provides more security in a recession than being employed How you can start to invest in Rockstar companies and create additional income streams whilst you’re building your own business Quotes: ‘Our goal is to generate as much profit in the companies that we back’ ‘You’re crazy to just quit your job and go full hog [on a business idea] without any confirmation first that it’s going to work’ ‘Don’t go looking for customers to begin with, go looking for raving fans that are going to love you and what you’re trying to do’ ‘The reason people fail [in business] is because the product isn’t unique enough and they don’t have enough margin’ ‘That’s the secret when you’re in a recession, you need to be able to adapt quickly’ Links & Resources mentioned in this episode: Rockstar Business World iPhone App Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki [Book] Rockstar Founders Club Investment Opportunity Guest Details: Jonathan Pfahl LinkedIn Profile Rockstar Group Twitter Profile Rockstar Group Official Website Connect with Escape The Rat Race...within 12 months: Official Website Private Facebook Group Thanks for listening!

Episode 026 - Jonathan Pfahl Rockstar Mentoring. To be successful, surround yourself with success! I created Rockstar Group in 2007 with a vision. I wanted to give entrepreneurs and business owners the same benefits that I’d received from having a top mentor by their side to guide them through the business world, open doors for them and help them build wealth. Having been mentored myself, and used it to grow a significant business and income of my own, I knew the power of surrounding yourself with successful people. I knew that if I could assemble some of the UK’s top entrepreneurs, then I could help hundreds, maybe even thousands of UK business owners to reach their goals. Fast-forward to today, and Rockstar has now helped start or grow over 8,500 businesses in pretty much every sector you can imagine. We even have our own Hubs in Central London, where we run our mentoring sessions and events, our own App, (link to rbw.com), legal team and investment platform to further fund the “Rockstar Businesses” within our growing client base. We have some of the UK’s (and globally) most well known and respected entrepreneurs as our mentors and structure all of our mentoring around achieving tangible financial results for our clients.

Would you like to understand how to massively increase your probability of success when it comes to obtaining private equity funding for your business? According to my guest in the current economy, 99% of entrepreneurs pitching for private equity funding are not successful in getting any. This is not because investors no longer have the money to invest. It is usually because those pitching have never been given any proper Mentoring and as a result, their pitch is not up to scratch, investors are not convinced they fully understand their own business, nor is their business plan appropriate to get them to invest. On this show I will be talking to Jonathan Pfahl the founder and Managing Director of The Rockstar Group which helps entrepreneurs to create the BEST POSSIBLE CHANCE FOR FUNDING TO BE GRANTED. So far his clients have a 75% success rate. Join us to find out more about the practical ways to increase the probability of success when it comes to your Dragons Den moment!
