Tune into today's bonus episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur to hear Rob's take on post-lockdown and the opportunities he envisions being out there for you to take advantage of. It's going to be a new world, with new opportunities, you need to be ahead of the game, so take note and prepare to build your future in what could be the most important year of your life! KEY TAKEAWAYS 1 in 3 retail units in the Rob's city are empty, the biggest department store in his city of Peterborough, John Lewis, will not be reopening. These are the stark realities of the high-street post lockdown and will be echoed in towns and cities throughout the country. A fair warning, make sure you see this year as the most important one of your life. Don't listen to the media fear, take opportunities and leverage the excitement of everyone going back out and spending. 1) Ecommerce – We have been evolving and creating tools since the beginning of our existence and our newest is the internet. The internet is at the start of its evolution, there is so much still to come. 2) Online information – Turning your products and services into information and selling it online. This isn't new but the opportunity is inflated and exaggerated because of lockdown. Anything that can be done remotely/from home will continue to grow. 3) Consultancy – What experience do you have? Could you use your knowledge in business or niche to consult clients on what they need to be doing? 4) Buying Businesses – There are multiple sectors that are struggling and many, many businesses that will be for sale post lockdown. This is an opportunity, from chaos comes order. 5) Property – Property prices will eventually fall, so far there have been things that have falsely propped up the housing market, e.g furlough. You want to be ready to go when the drop happens. 6) Health and fitness – So many people will want to be getting back to their best selves post-lockdown. There will be tremendous growth in this area. 7) Hybrid Model – Your business no longer has to just be physical, utilise the breakthroughs in technology in all markets and niches. If you haven't already, take steps to take your business online. 8) Workforce – Your workforce is now the globe, not just your town or city. You can be a hybrid workforce easily by having remote workers and freelancers as well as employees in an office. 9) Social Media – It seems like every single month there is a new phenomenon in social media. Keep up to date with all news and anything new and ensure you repurpose your content to use a multi-platform approach. 10) Agency Model – You can easily set up an agency, from podcasts to social media, there are many different approaches and disciplines. It is also very simple and easy to scale and grow into other areas once you have got started. 11) Connections – Anything that connects people will be big business post lockdown. We have missed people, find the new problems and talk to people in your niche and go from there. The universe has given you the biggest disruption to allow you to decide what it is you want and reevaluate your life. Your biggest strength is you, utilise it and stop waiting for things to happen, go out there and make your own future. BEST MOMENTS “If you don't seize opportunities and go out and hunt them instead of waiting them to come to you then it could be a hard post lockdown time” “I shouldn't have waited for a pandemic to disrupt me” “Necessity is the mother of invention” “Collaborations and partnerships are gonna be huge” “I know I've got a mullet but I couldn't give a s*it because that does not define me!” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Later I've got Dr. Jake Felice back to talk about Covid19, cannabis and pregnancy and we'll revisit CHS. So much going on right now, it's been a crazy week out there, Covid19 has shut it down. I think this is going to change the way we do a lot of things (education & entertainment). That's a good and a bad thing. The cool thing about most things being shut down is seeing so many families hanging out together. Call your local dispensary for their operating hours. I'm glad I know how to grow and garden and that I know other growers and gardeners. Aside from growing some of what we need, it's also really calming putting my hands in the soil. I say this because some of us are really stressed out right now. My suggestion is to start a garden,it doesn't have to be big. Speaking of which we almost forgot that it's finally spring. I'm cracking some seeds from @lorax315 (Afghan x Durban, Great rift valley and Nepal X Diesel). Lorax said the GRV loves mag, and the Napal loves the phosphorous. Go find him on IG and take a look at what he's doing. Strain of the Week: Diesel Cake: Sour Diesel and Wedding Cake (birthday cake, pink cookies). This was the pre-roll from Autumn Brands that I smoked with Rodney last week. This sativa dominant was a 20% THC with a strong gassy smell and taste backed up with a slight sugary flavor at the end from the Cake. It was a nice fun high, great for hanging out with friends. This was the pre-roll from Autumn Brands I smoked with Rodney after last week's show. We tried to do some research with getting high and seeing if a CBD joint would bring down the high. Problem was 1 joint for 2 potheads wasn't going to be enough to feel really high. I did feel it but I wasn't super high at the end of it as I was hoping. Then we plugged in some of his new podcast equipment and totally forgot about the CBD joints. Social Media: It seems, If you had a legit upcoming cannabis event (not a secret sesh), it has been cancelled or it's been moved online. Report from the cannabis front line: Rincon Vitova sent out this reminder. Agriculture is a critical sector where a federal guideline specifies that employees who aren't sick can leave home to go to work. For companies in the agriculture and biocontrol industries, the Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure Sectors includes these employees: Farm workers and support service workers to include those who [work in] field crops; commodity inspection; fuel ethanol facilities; storage facilities; and other agricultural inputs Employees of companies engaged in the production of chemicals, medicines, vaccines, and other substances used by the food and agriculture industry, including pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, minerals, enrichments, and other agricultural production aids. -Rincon Vitova Insectary https://www.eventbrite.com/e/healthy-citrus-workshop-now-webinar-tickets-95209362767 Conversations with: Dr. Jake Felice is back and talking about Covid-19, CBD as an anti-microbial hyperemesis gravidarum, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.

Episode 26 of The Teaching Space Podcast helps you prepare for a digital declutter to boost your productivity. Podcast Episode 26 Transcript Welcome to The Teaching Space podcast, coming to you from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Hello, it's Martine here. Welcome to Episode 26 of The Teaching Space Podcast. In today's episode, I'm asking the question, do you need a digital declutter? I'm going to put myself out there and say I think you probably do. As such, in this episode, I plan to share some strategies to help you declutter and detox your digital space. Clutter Let's get thinking about clutter. On the face of it, digital clutter seems very different from physical clutter. There's a great example of this on a blog I like to follow called The Minimalists. If you go to theminimalists.com/digital, you'll find this example. Let me share an extract with you. Try to move 2,000 books to a new residence. Box up the physical books taking them off their shelves one by one, labelling each box with its appropriate label, self-help, literary fiction, Cambodian interpretive dance etc. Then, carry them to your vehicle, box by box, being careful not to drop them. Then, haul them to your new home. Carry them inside, carefully unpack each box and reshelve each individual book until every last book is sort of back where it was before you started this tedious exercise. Then, next time you move, grab your Kindle with all 2,000 titles instead, toss it in your bag and be on your way. Using this great example and rationale, the fact that digital clutter is hidden makes it less of a problem, right? Maybe not. If you spend hours a day on your computer struggling to find the files you need, then it's not really hidden, is it? If you always have your email program open and feel overwhelmed every time you see your inbox, this is actually a rather intrusive issue. An Infinite Amount of Space Don't get me wrong; I love having an almost infinite amount of space to store digital files. It's enabled me to pare down my book and music collection, keep a constant stream of photo and video memories and run a virtually paperless home office and classroom. I love that, but when it comes down to it, clutter is clutter. That's why I think the answer to the question, do you need a digital declutter, is a resounding yes. The Container Concept Let me just share a quick side note on physical clutter. That's not what this episode is about, but I think this might be of interest anyway. Lately, I've been working on reducing the physical clutter in my home. I use Dana K. White's Container Concept. I'm going to talk about her book in our next episode, so make sure you tune in to Episode 27. An example of this Container Concept is that I have one shelf available for cookbooks. That's the cookbook container, and I'm talking about physical cookbooks here. If I have more cookbooks than I can fit on the shelf, then the stuff, the cookbooks, have outgrown their container and that's not okay. It is not a case of buying a bigger shelf. What I need to do is pare down the cookbooks, so that what remains are the ones that I really like and there is space on the shelf. If I buy a new cookbook, I use the one in, one out rule. New one in, old one out. That is the Container Concept, and it is brilliant for physical clutter. Because, as I mentioned before, the spaces we have for digital clutter are so huge, you can't use the Container Concept. What I've got for you are a number of suggestions, six in total, to help you make a start at having a digital declutter. Here we go. 1. Practice Inbox Zero I've mentioned Inbox Zero on several podcast episodes now I'm sure. Rather than take you through the entire process, please hop over to the blog and have a look at the lengthy blog post I've written all about Inbox Zero. It isn't a myth. It is doable. Once you've spent a little bit of time setting yourself up for Inbox Zero, it doesn't take a lot of time to maintain it afterwards. Hop over to theteachingspace.com, and you could use the search function at the bottom of the website and look for Inbox Zero. If you're willing to put a bit of time into setting Inbox Zero up, I guarantee it will improve your life dramatically. You will be less stressed, you will have less clutter and you will be more productive, so do check out that blog post. 2. File Storage I'm just thinking about places such as Google Drive or your desktop or your computer's hard drive or Dropbox or anywhere you save digital files. Make sure you have a really well thought out folder structure and all of your files, your singular documents, are in folders. If you have a structure where at the top level, you've got a few folders but lots and lots and lots of files, that's a little bit like having a physical filing cabinet and just throwing paper on the top of it. You need to file your digital files in folders in the same way that you would do that with physical paper and paper folders. My main online document storage area is Google Drive. I've got my folders set up in such a way that I know exactly what goes where. I have them named very clearly. I also use Emoji to give myself a visual cue as to what goes in each folder, and they're colour-coded. If you want to set your folders up in Google Drive so that they're colour-coded and have Emoji on them, then I have a video explaining how to do that on my YouTube channel. Be really, really structured with your folders and your files, and make sure you do your filing. 3. Rethink The Purpose of Your Desktop On Your Computer or Your Laptop It's not a dumping ground. Yes, I get that you can occasionally store things there because they're temporary. That is a quick and easy place to put them. You shouldn't have permanent files and folders there. That's not what it's for. Did you know you can have tools, like Hazel for Mac, to automate cleaning up your desktop? I also use Hazel, incidentally, to clear out my downloads folder on my Mac. I think it's every 24 hours or so, Hazel goes in and just deletes everything from there. Using automation tools like this can be super helpful for digital decluttering. 4. Photos How many photos do you have on your mobile device right now? Is it 500, 3,000, 10,000? Have a look. Then, have a think about how many of those pictures you'd actually put in a physical photo album if that was something that you did. I reckon it would be a very small percentage. This means there's a massive amount of digital clutter on your mobile device in the form of photos. I'd like you to rethink your camera roll. If you start treating it as a photo album, you can delete the images that you don't want. Say, you've taken a really nice landscape and it took about 30 attempts to get that final photo, that means you can delete 29 pictures. It's quick and easy to do that on your mobile. Treat your camera roll as a photo album, delete the pictures you don't need. 5. Social Media It's time to do a friend audit on Facebook. All of that input in your timeline is digital clutter. Look at Twitter, look at Instagram, there are mass unfollow apps you can use, many of which are free, to start reducing your social media clutter. 6. Let's Think About The Digital Clutter That is Email Newsletters Look at your inbox, how many have you got? Because you're going to be doing Inbox Zero, then hopefully you'll be able to start getting all of those email newsletters under control. While you're getting ready to do that, I highly recommend Unroll.Me, which you can find at unroll.me. It's a mass unsubscribe system. It does several things. It allows you to unsubscribe quickly, but it also will roll up the newsletters you want to read into one daily digest. If you don't fancy using this system, then another option is to set up a separate Gmail email account simply for subscribing to email newsletters. Then, you have a separate inbox so you can, for example, set yourself a diary note to check once a week in your newsletter inbox. That is a far better use of your time and will, ultimately, help you declutter all of those emails. Wrap Up Of course, there is one email newsletter that you won't want to roll up and you won't want to have to go in a separate inbox, and that, friends, is The Teaching Space fortnightly newsletter.
