    • Business owners unable to present case against license revocation due to ongoing legal chargesPolitical pressure can override individual rights and due process, leading to wasted resources and potential legal action

      The business owners described in the discussion were unable to present their case against the revocation of their business license due to ongoing legal charges. Despite having no evidence of any threat to public safety and no infections linked to their facility, the council voted to revoke the license. The owners believe that the decision was pre-ordained and that Governor Murphy's pressure on the council may have influenced the outcome. The situation has resulted in significant wasted resources, including council time, police hours, and taxpayer dollars. The business owners plan to sue for violation of their First Amendment rights. Overall, this situation highlights the importance of due process and the potential for political pressure to override individual rights and due process.

He uses the example of New Jersey transit buses, which operate at full capacity without extensive safety measures, to challenge the rationale behind the gym closure. The gym owner is prepared to fight the legal battle and is confident in his constitutional arguments. He believes the authorities are trying to exhaust him financially and legally, but he is determined to win the final battle and reopen his gym. The owner is confident in his legal team and is demanding that the authorities provide evidence for the gym closure.

    • Community support for gym's reopeningDespite initial opposition, community support and proactive safety measures led to gym's reopening, highlighting the power of standing up for one's rights.

      Despite facing numerous challenges, the community's support for the gym has been overwhelming, with emails pouring in from all over the country expressing solidarity. The initial opposition from local politicians has given way to growing support, even from those who were once against the gym's reopening. The gym's proactive measures to ensure safety and compliance with CDC guidelines have been recognized, and the gym owners remain committed to their cause, believing they were allowed to reopen based on their private membership model. The situation has highlighted the power of community support and the importance of standing up for one's rights, especially during uncertain times.

The speaker also mentions an incident on CNN where he used an obscenity during an interview with Chris Cuomo, whom he perceived as biased against him and trying to make him look foolish. Overall, the speaker expresses a belief that the government is attempting to create a weakened population through restrictions and financial support, and that individuals must remain strong and fight for their rights.

    RANT: This Needs to STOP, Now (Wake Up FFS) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

    The lockdown has caused many frustrating things to happen, and today Rob discusses one of the most infuriating things to happen in the business world since before lockdown. Many people have been criticising small businesses for promoting their services during the pandemic. Rob discusses why stopping the promotion of these businesses would have an even bigger detrimental impact on the economy and how you can help support other entrepreneurs. 

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • Something frustrating that has been happening online since the lockdown began, is people who use their platforms to slate millionaires, billionaires and entrepreneurs. Many people vented online that they believed that it was unacceptable for people to be selling during the lockdown as people were dying. This attitude is not how you get out of a recession, if the economy stops, then the world stops. 

     

    • Without small businesses and entrepreneurs, there would be no economy. Virtually all of the public sector is funded by the private sector. As entrepreneurs, you create tax revenues, employees, national insurance and VAT. However, there have been many people complaining about people pitching during the pandemic.  

     

    • If there is no selling, creation of products or a fair exchange environment where entrepreneurs are able to make a fair profit then not only does the economy die, but so does the entire supply chain. All the amenities and survival-based products and services that we need will diminish. 

     

    • People should be supporting start-up businesses, entrepreneurs and small business owners. If you see a small business owner under attack on social media for promoting their services, then go in and support them and defend them. Promote their business on your page to get them some more exposure. We need to have each others backs. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS 

    “Believe you me, the economy underpins everything, even the supply chains and us just getting our basic amenities. Nothing moves until business owners sell products and services”

     

    “People need to stop bashing people who sell stuff, who create a product or service.”

     

    “The big business owner starts as a small business owner. The ‘scale-up’ starts as a ‘start-up’. The millionaire and the billionaire start with zero.”

      • Listen more than you talk. Work questions in at every phase of the proposal / pitch
      • Always ask for next steps, never leave a conversation without understanding the next steps in the process from their perspective 
      • Get before you give 
      • Work backwards from the end to establish a calendar of events
      • Save the proposal / contract until the very end (discuss pricing and budget early on). Once you send this, you've lost all your leverage.
