Summary
It’s Rob’s birthday and in celebration, he wanted to share 45 brutal life lessons that he has learnt over the years. This is part 1, where Rob discusses why there is beauty in brutality and reveals the first 23 of the lessons he has learnt in business and life.
Rob Reveals:
- Honest people will lie to you if the lie is easier than telling the truth
- People are not loyal
- Most people want you to fail
- Believing happiness is the meaning of life will make you miserable
- You have to do hard things now for an easy life later
- What’s worth it isn’t easy, what’s easy isn’t worth it
- Everything you don’t like or want is your fault and responsibility
- All your fears are just imagination
- Everything you judge in others you have done yourself
- Security has nothing to do with money
- The best form of revenge is kindness
- In every stressing, hides a blessing
- People treat you the way you teach them to
- It’s your responsibility to express when there are problems
- Any conflict you avoid now will come back harder
- There’s ruthlessness and toothlessness there is no in between
- The easiest person to lie to is yourself
- If you want the right people in your life you have to let go of those who are wrong for you
- Being patient is not always a virtue
- Learning from your mistakes is dumber and more expensive than learning from the mistakes of others
- Most people aren’t thinking about you
- Silence is power
- Your intuition is mostly wrong
BEST MOMENTS
"Humans lie, to expect them not to lie is a delusion”
“No one owes you anything”
“If you fail at your dreams it makes them feel more comfortable about their failures”
“There is no such thing as I can’t there is only, how can I?”
“Revenge never ends”
“If you want people to treat you a certain way you have to show them”
“Patience isn’t a virtue anymore”

| 1:08.4 | experienced grief? Something that Andrew Tate said to me that triggered me actually. |
| 1:15.0 | He said, you're not a man until your father dies. |
| 1:19.0 | And I've actually looked in the eyes of my dad who's old and I've imagined his death and it's painful but it's also beautiful because |

| 1:57.0 | had to let a third of my workforce go in lockdown, seen booms and bust in the market, observed the nature of people, faced my |
