How to Beat Massive Price Rises & Inflation

So a quick practical video on how to beat massive price hikes and inflation. Sorry, no rants today, just practical tactical tips on beating what are huge price hikes, rises, and inflation. So, um, prices in shops in the UK in terms of price inflation doubled in January, so from a 1.5% to a 3% price rise. Inflation is huge right now, let's be honest about that. And I think, you know, the real figures are being hidden. In reality, we're probably in double-digit inflation. We've had massive undersupply of production. Prices of everything are going on up, up and up and up and up and up. And look, us bitching and moaning and ranting and complaining about it ain't going to change it, let's be honest. What's going to change it is strategies and tactics. So I'm going to give you a few small ways to beat price rises and inflation, and the main big way, the one single thing that trumps all the others, I'm going to share with you at the end. This will be a concise video. Please also do share it because I think a lot of people are going to struggle with inflation and price rises, etc. So firstly, let me put you in the picture. Interest rates are historically low, inflation is historically high, and and supply is historically low, and quantitative easing and the printing of money is historically high. When you add all those factors in— oh, and taxation is very high. So add those 5 factors in and your dollar is worth a lot less now than it used to be, and it's going down and down and down and down in value. So this could be one of the most important videos I've shared with you in terms of protecting your pound and your dollar. Okay, so here we go. Number 1 then is you need to get money out of cash and into assets because cash is depreciating. It could be 15% a year with quantitative easing, the printing of extra money devaluing your money, and also really high inflation and really low interest rates. So you leave cash or money in the bank, you could be losing 10-15% plus a year. So you need to get it out of cash as quickly as possible into assets. The assets protect the cash, and then the assets go up in value, and then the assets produce recurring income. So actually, cash turned into asset turned into appreciation of capital turned into income. That's number one. Number two is you need to be mindful of where you spend your money. So if you spend your money on depreciating liabilities, then that— you are doubling down on your loss of the value of your pound or your dollar. Whereas try and buy things where prices haven't gone wildly high, and try and save and invest where you can, because some things have gone up 20%, 30%, 50%. And some things haven't really gone up at all. So where possible, spending on, um, items— of course we need sustenance, we need to survive— but, um, spending on items that haven't really hiked in price, because some haven't because there's still a supply, and not spending on price-hiked items. That's tip number 2. Tip number 3 is you've got to try and get your tax down. So I've worked out all my tax is about, um, 70 pence in the pound. So when I charge a product or service, there's VAT on top, there's 25% corp tax coming, there's 45% income, there's dividend tax, there's National Insurance, there's business rates, yada yada yada. And then when I buy stuff, I've got to pay VAT on top and all these other taxes. So it's about 70 pence in the pound— all the money that I generate and then spend, about 70% is taxed. That's outrageous. I mean, that is unsustainably high. So you need to educate yourself on how can you reduce your tax bill and liability with legitimate offsettable expenses, whether it's R&D budgets or assets in LLPs, or what legitimate expenses you can put through a company or to start a company to do that. Always get really good sound accountancy and tax advice, you know, just letting you know about that. And make sure that the accountant or the tax advisor will sign their name against the, you know, a tax saving strategy that they advise you because you don't want to be left, um, you know, having the, the Inland Revenue or the IRS coming after you. But if you can control your spending, if you can save and invest and get money out of cash, and then if you can reduce your tax down, then that's 3 ways you're going to defeat and beat price hikes and price inflation. Now, some people will say to me, oh yeah, Rob, but you know what, I don't, um, I'm employed. Well, maybe you need to set up a side hustle. Maybe now is the time to start your own business. The next thing you can do is you can just release some capital from items you have. I've got a load of vinyl sitting here and I sold my record player, so I could release some capital from that. A load of stock in the office which is just sitting there, release some capital from that, free up some capital that again you can invest into assets that produce recurring income. Okay, cool. But here's the fifth and final and most important thing, the quickest, best, and easiest thing you can do to smash price inflation, um, and real inflation is to make more money. You've got to just go and make more money. Taxes are illegal, I agree. Inflation is a form of tax, I agree. But here's the problem, you know, if we sort of— you know, I do spend time trying to educate my audience on this, and I do do some rants, but you know, I'll have a rant and then I'll go, well, the HMRC or the IRS aren't going to listen to me, and the government aren't going to listen to me, and I can write to my MP and they ain't going to listen to me. So I've had my little rant, and then like, right, what can I do? What can I help my followers, fans, and community members do? So we have to take personal responsibility. So if you used to earn £5,000 a month, you now got to earn £10,000. And it might not seem fair that you've got to double your earnings to give 70% of that to the government, or get no interest, or high inflation, or high price rises, but that's just the fact of life. So what you need to do is make more money. A lot of people look at the 5% they can save, but what about if you doubled your revenue? What about if you made more money? So, um, to celebrate, and I suppose to help you make more money, I'm celebrating the 6-year anniversary of my podcast Disruptors. I'm celebrating the 15th anniversary of my company Progressive. And so to do this, um, uh, and to, I guess, help you go big in 2022, I'm actually launching on Friday my brand new Make Cash Challenge. So I do a lot of trainings in my organisations, 850 training days a year in fact, but a unique thing that I do just twice a year is called the Make Cash Challenge. So it's not about theory or doing a course and a year later being able to buy a property or whatever. There's times and places for theory and real estate training, but this is a 7-day Make Cash Challenge where over 7 days I'm going to give you 18 modules and probably 14 or 15 practical, tactical ways to put cash in the bank. Philomena has said she's very excited for this challenge, as am I. Only do it twice a year. Now, I love delivering it because it helps my clients and you put a lot of cash in the bank. You know, maybe January's been a bit slow for you, or it started well and you've lost your momentum. Maybe you just need a bit of help. Maybe you're not sure, Rob, how do I put more cash in the bank? And you're not sure. So if you'd like to put $7K in the bank in the next 7 days, or maybe even $17K, or maybe even $27K, and you'd like to join this special, um, 2-off a year, only twice a year, Make Cash Challenge, then I'll put the link in the comments for you right now. Now, by the way, this is not free. I'm not looking for people who just, you know, want to consume free stuff and never take action. This is for action takers, change makers, innovators, movers and shakers. But here's the good news. Um, whilst this would probably be a £1,000 to £2,000 or dollar program, and because let's be honest, it's 18 modules, it's 15 hours of practical tactical content, that has a very high value. You know, if I'm doing a live event, I'm charging £2,000 to £3,000 for a 2 or 3 day 15-hour masterclass. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to run this challenge completely for free if you just join my subscriber program. So I've put the link to my subscriber program in the comments there. You can see it now. Go and join right now. Why? Because this Make Cash Challenge starts on Friday. I haven't really mentioned it much. I probably should have mentioned it more, but I'm mentioning it, mentioning it now. So what it's going to do is going to— it's going to help you put cash in the bank in a week. So I'm calling it, um, 7 Days to 7K, but in brackets, 17K or 27K. So I run these challenges twice a year. They're very practical and tactical and actionable. And each year what you usually get is people put between £3,000 and £35,000 cash in bank. That's usually the numbers. So anyone from a standing start— not— you don't even need to be making any money right now, but from a standing start, it's likely that if you participate— by the way, you can't just meditate and visualize your way to £7,000 in the bank, you've got to participate. But if you participate, you consume the videos, you take the actions, it's highly likely that you'll put between £3,000 and £35,000 in the bank in 7 days. So if you like the sound of that, I can give you access to the Make Cash Challenge completely for free. You only just need to be a subscriber of mine. Now, being a subscriber of mine is only a few pounds or dollars a month. You get loads of other benefits, by the way. And by the way, let me know when you're in in the comments. I know a lot of people are already in because I can see your subscriber badge. But let me know when you're in on my subscription program. I'll shout you out. But on my subscription program, for just a few pounds or dollars a month, it ends up working out literally at the cost of a medium or a large cup of coffee. Um, you get 10 pieces of premium content a month on being a start or scale-up entrepreneur. You also get 2 masterclass deep dive masterclasses a month. I'm doing my 6-stage 7-figure masterclass, um, in a few days' time. I'm doing my Six Figure Subscription Secrets Masterclass. These are $500 or $1,000 or even $2,000 masterclasses that either no one else can get or other people pay that money for, and you get them completely for free at being, being one of my subscribers. Now the link is in the comments. Some people are asking me how do I sign up. Um, Ellen is in, by the way. Um, so you just have to, um, follow the link in the comments. You can either click it or just type it into a browser and you can join. Now, one of the, one of the biggest, best things about being a subscriber of mine for just a few pounds or dollars a month are the Make Cash Challenges we do. Now, we only do them twice a year, but we're starting this Friday. So someone has said, do you need any money to start? No, you don't. You could be unemployed. I've got about 5 strategies for you if you're unemployed to put more cash in the bank. You could be a startup entrepreneur. I've got maybe 6 to 8 strategies for you if you're a startup entrepreneur. Or you could be a scale-up entrepreneur, an existing business owner that wants to make more sales. And again, I've got probably 7 or 8 different strategies and tactics. And what I'm gonna do is starting on Friday, I'm gonna do 3 modules a day. And every day in the morning, I'm gonna teach you a couple of tactical actions. Sean Paul is in, by the way. So every morning, a couple of practical actions. Every afternoon's gonna be a masterclass type course. and then every evening's going to be a review Q&A. Uh, Matt looks like he's in as well. I'm going to do that for 7 days straight. If you're a teen, you can join as long as you can legally join the subscription program, which you can. By the way, if you're a teen, you're probably not holding any of the baggage. There's things— if you're a teen, I've got a couple of tips for you, like, um, going to your friends and family and pitching to them to sell their stuff on e-com sites and you getting a quarter or a half the money. So we can actually be pretty creative with e-commerce and selling, um, you know, existing items that you own and going to other people and selling existing items that you own. Carolina says she's got £200. You only need about a fiver to start this, and I'm telling you, none of the strategies that I will teach you require any money. I won't be teaching you about doing Facebook ads or massive brand campaigns or printing brochures or hiring staff. I mean, you can do those things, but this is not the purpose of the Make Cash Challenge. The purpose of the Make Cash Challenge is you start from a standing start with no money, and quicker, easier, and cheaper than ever, you can put cash in the bank in 7 days from this coming Friday to the next Thursday. Now I've got some of my multimillionaire friends coming in, and what they're going to do is they're going to share like a deep dive masterclass. So it might be on building a subscription site, or it might be on scaling your business, um, or it might be on sales or marketing, um, or getting referrals, building an ambassador program, etc. And what I'll do is I'll do the content each morning, um, and then I'll do the ask me anything and the reviews and the Q&As each evening. Now, by the way, getting mentoring with me is £40,000 plus that, £48,000, $60,000. But essentially you're getting daily live mentoring with me albeit in a group situation, not one-to-one. So when you put it in terms of value, for just a fiver, it's a bit of a bargain. It's a lot of a bargain. So just let me know if you're in in the comments. I'm going to put the link in the comments. You click the link and go and register. Um, now some people who are already in my subscription program are saying, am I in? Once you've subscribed, you're in. You don't need to then re-register anywhere else. So Sean has asked, am I in? Sean's been a subscriber for years. I want to say love you, Sean. If you're a subscriber, you're in. And what I'm going to do is today I'm going to promote the agenda and I'm going to post the agenda, and then sort of over the next couple of days I'll warm you up and set you up and give you all the actions and where to download the videos. Um, so yeah, I'll put the link in again on Instagram, just type it in, and I've put the link in on Facebook. Um, so Kate is in and Gary is in. Let me know if you're in. I've shared the link in the comments. So let me just do a quick summary for you. And by the way, please hit this share button. Inflation and price— inflation and price rises, uh, as high as I've seen them in, what, 15+ years. It's absolutely insane because of really low interest rates, really high price inflation, really high actual inflation, really low supply, um, and really high quantitative easing and printing of money. Taxation is on the rise. I just read this morning that the government have just written off £8.7 billion of PPE. So they spent £8.7 billion on protective PPE that they're going to have to completely write off. Who's going to pay for that? Who's going to pay for that? You and I are going to pay for that. That's going to be taxed. They're going to have to pull that revenue back. And apparently there was billions they had to write off in loans that they gave out that they, you know, weren't fraudulent loans. Who's going to pay for that? You and I in tax. So we have to combat this. And yes, you can save and invest and you can protect cash, you know, and you can spend wisely and you can look to save tax. But really, the best thing you can do to completely combat hedge against and not have price inflation affect you is you can make more money. It's the best way. So if you join now, I'm going to put the link in one more time in the comments. If you join my subscription platform for literally just the cost of a large coffee per month— link is in the comments now— then you're going to join at no cost to you other than being a subscriber. Um, my brand new Make Cash Challenge, where for 7 days I'm going to share with you 18 modules, 15 hours of deep dive live practical tactical content to help you put cash in the bank in 7 days. I'm going to do competitions, I'm going to do rewards and awards and leaderboards. Competitions, awards, rewards, and leaderboards. Janie is in! Welcome to Janie, how are you doing? Um, and by the way, if you're making good cash, you can make more. Some people are making good cash and they put £35,000 in the bank in 7 days. If you're making no cash, you can make £1,000 or £3,000, but cash, not theory. Practical and tactical. So, and once you're in, in the link I've just shared, then you'll get a full agenda. I'm actually, um, I've got the full agenda now. I'll share it this afternoon. Um, by the way, all content is recorded. So let's say you can't do 3 modules a day for 7 days. Let's say you have to miss 4 or 5 modules. Every module is live, and then we record it, and then we upload it to the subscription platform that you're joining, and then you can watch it at any time. And then what we even do at the end is we then go and edit it and package it up into a, um, a kind of a course, if you like. So it becomes like a 14-module course that you can then go back to yourself and review and implement, or you could get a VA or an assistant to go in and review and implement for you. And you cannot get in this challenge any other way other than joining my subscription platform. Link is in the comments. Go there right now because I've got to get out of here. Prices are rising dramatically. Inflation isn't rising dramatically. Quantitative easing and the printing of money is rising dramatically. Taxation is rising dramatically. Interest rates are not rising. Supply has been really reduced, and the cumulative effect of all of this is that unless you make significantly more money this year, even making the same money, you're going to make a lot less money. And the single best way to do that is to put more cash in the bank. And in 3 days, for 7 days, joining the Make Cash Challenge completely for free if you're one of my subscribers will give you 18 modules, 15 hours, and probably at least 15 practical and tactical ways to put cash in the bank. There'll be competitions, prizes, rewards, awards. There will be, um, mini masterclasses, actions, and then Q&As and debriefs. There'll be the whole thing recorded, um, and whether you're unemployed, employed, a startup, or a scale-up I've got strategies and tactics for you to put more cash in the bank in the next 7 days. It's for men, it's for women, it's for anyone across the world. The only, um, caveat, the only rule is you have to be a member of my subscription platform, but at the cost of a large cup of coffee per month, it's an absolute bargain. So the link is in the comments on Facebook. Go join right now. I'm preparing the agenda as we speak. Thanks for tuning in. By the way, please hit the share button if you like my content, if you think it's useful, if you think people need help, if you think people you know would love to make more money. If you do think that taxes and inflation and price rises are going to be a problem for many people, please share the love. I've actually shared 5 practical tactical ways that you can protect against and defeat inflation and price rises. Go back to the start and watch the replay if you want to, um, you know have a little summary of what they are. But please do share this content with as many people as you can, because I do worry for entrepreneurs. I do worry for startups and scale-ups. I do worry for a lot of people that they don't realize just how much their money is devaluing. Tax and, and quantitative easing and massive inflation, you could argue, is a theft. Or at least inflation could be an extra form of tax. And we can moan and complain about it, or we can do something about it. And so the Make Cash Challenge is a tactical, practical way for you to bank a lot more money in the next 7 days. And I'm going to reward you and bribe you, and I'm going to run a competition, and you're going to win masterminds and mentoring, and there's going to be a leaderboard. And every day I'm going to give you practical actions, and then every evening you're going to come back and you're going to do a Q&A, ask me anything, and you're going to say, hey Rob, thanks for the tips, I struggle with this, this, and this, what do I do? Rob, I found out this, this was a hurdle, what do I do? And I'm going to do Q&A sessions to work you through. Um, so join the Make Cash Challenge right now. Link is in the comments, and I'll see you on the other side in the platform where I'll be revealing the agenda later today. I was going to say— I nearly said they're revealing my gender today. Hit the share button. Remember, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
