Rob does not like being bored. He keeps himself busy as much as possible because that’s what he thinks he needs to do. But, do you really need to be busy ALL the time? In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Rob shares the benefits of boredom. Lately, he realised that sitting for quite some time doing absolutely nothing could declutter your mind to make way for more creative business ideas and the best solutions. Our brains and our bodies do not function well when we don’t rest. Learn how to value rest since it’s part of the cycle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be bored more often! Here are the benefits of boredom: It forces you to rest. Rob says that one of the curses of being an entrepreneur is that you never rest. His only chance of getting rest in the past was when he was getting an illness. Now, he takes into mind the value of rest. When you’re bored, your brain will pick up on new ideas. Stop forcing yourself to think and think and think. You have to step back a bit, so your mind sees new perspectives. It gets you to notice things. Don’t let be caught up in your business’ social media, your emails, etc. – always checking for updates. Once you put down your phone for a while, you’d notice that there are far more unique ideas and inspiration in your surroundings. You get to look inside more on who you are, what you want and why you’re doing this. Reevaluating your plans and visions is vital if you want the best outcome. It solidifies everything and makes you strive more. You get re-excited, reignited, and re-infused to work on your mission. A few days off from your work lets you regain your energy so you could consume it again on more income-generating tasks. BEST MOMENTS “Rest when you rest, play when you play.” “Those times you use to rest, those times you connect with people, those times you talk to people are getting interrupted by social media.” “When you’re bored, you question. And questioning quite regularly is good.” “Plan time in your diary, a day, a week, or just 15 minutes, even you’re busy starting your business, to be bored.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team 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.
