Rob Dance

CEO & Founder of ROCK.

I started my business with just £1,000
 
(I bought a cheap van, a laptop, and a desk)
 
Today, we operate internationally
Today, we hire over 100 of the brightest minds
Today, we're an 8-figure business, on our way to 9
Today, we're launching several new start ups
Today, I work with some of the most gifted people in the world
 
But what you don't know is:
 
20 years ago, I failed my exams and dropped out of school
17 years ago, I really struggled to write a full sentence
15 years ago, I was too scared to make phone calls

So now I'm sharing my journey with you.
Daily insights to help anyone.
Let's goooooooo 🚀

CEO & Founder

After 15 years of growing my business, I realised something FUNDAMENTAL was missing.

Our unique culture and innovative ways of managing our people has always been a TOP priority for me.

So much so, I have never found the perfect software platform to manage our people operations and help my team remove the day-to-day noise so they can focus on our mission.

Then, one day, it struck me: I NEED to create this myself to help other businesses!!

And so, Ware was born.

Launching in 2025, Ware promises to transform how you build your culture and genuinely empower your team.

Ware. Everything is.

I used to think people left jobs for more money

(I was wrong)

They’re not chasing bigger paychecks.
They’re chasing peace of mind.

They leave when:

- Effort is never enough.
- Silence feels safer than honesty.
- Burnout is expected and vulnerability is a liability.

So here’s a reminder from Dan:
Retention starts with culture.

If you want to retain your best people?

Start with respect.

That means:

→ Managers who support, not shame
→ A culture where it’s safe to be honest
→ Teams that value rest as much as results

The paycheck is important, sure.
But it’s not the reason they stay.

Do you agree?

I used to think people left for better pay.

Now I know, they leave for peace of mind and basic respect.

Dan Murray and Rob Dance

If the leaders in the room aren’t saying your name when opportunities come up…

You might be in the wrong room.

Connections open doors.

But loyalty?

That’s what keeps you in the conversation when you're not there.

You want leaders who back you without needing a reminder.

The kind who:

→ Recommend you without hesitation 
→ Speak highly of you when you’re not around 
→ Say your name in rooms you haven’t entered yet

That kind of support is rare.

And you won’t notice it’s missing - until it matters most.

So, pay attention.

Watch who speaks up. 
Watch who stays quiet.

Silence from the top says more than applause from the crowd.

Do you agree?

Career growth isn’t just about learning new things.

It’s about letting go of:

- Old habits
- Old beliefs
- Old ways of doing things that once kept you safe

And that part hurts.

Especially when it’s something you’ve carried for years.

Something that used to work.
Something that once made you feel competent or in control.

But here’s the shift:

Growth happens when you're willing to unlearn.

When you’re brave enough to admit, this doesn’t serve me anymore.

And then? You relearn.

→ With humility
→ With curiosity
→ With discomfort

That’s the real work.

That’s what separates the adaptable from the stuck.

Do you agree?

Everyone talks about wanting to grow.

But setting resolutions and hoping for the best?

That won’t get you there.

Because when life pushes back, most people fold.

So think about it this way:

You said this time would be different. 
Now life’s testing whether you meant it.

That resistance? 
That discomfort you’re feeling? 
That stretch beyond what’s familiar?

That’s what growth actually looks like.

It’s not meant to be easy. 
It’s meant to break patterns.

Because real growth demands:

→ Grit 
→ Accountability 
→ Uncomfortable truth

There’s no room for excuses.

So if it’s hard right now, that’s a sign.

You’re moving. You’re changing.

You’re growing.

Do you agree?

I’ve hired hundreds of people

And here’s the truth:

Your CV gets you through the door.

But it’s how you show up every day that keeps you there.

As Eric Partaker said, it’s not about:

- Fancy titles
- Certifications
- Qualifications

It’s about:

1) How you handle the tough days.
2) How you react to unexpected setbacks.
3) How you stay composed under pressure.
4) How you adapt when the plan changes last minute.
5) How you keep pushing forward when motivation runs thin.
6) How you support your teammates when they’re struggling.
7) How you take ownership of mistakes without pointing fingers.

That’s what sticks.
That’s what people remember.

So be the person who makes things easier, not harder.

Do you agree?

Your greatest skill isn’t on your CV. It's in how you show up every day.

Be the person who makes things easier, not harder. Rob Dance and Eric Partaker.

We all say we’re too busy.

But the truth is…

Most of us just aren’t prioritising what matters.

If you took an honest look at your day last year, you’d probably find:

→ Endless scrolling 
→ Mindless procrastination 
→ Tasks that lead nowhere

The problem isn’t time.

It’s focus.

Growth doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

It happens when you show up…

- Consistently
- Deliberately

Even when it’s inconvenient.

You do have the time.

You just have to take it back from the things stealing it.

Do you agree?

No one is too busy. It's just a matter of priorities. Rob Dance.

Here’s a simple rule I live by:

If it doesn’t help you grow or feel good?

It’s not worth your time.

You don’t owe your energy to anything that drains you.

That’s not harsh.
That’s clarity.

Whether it’s:

→ A job 
→ A relationship 
→ A routine that no longer fits

You’re allowed to walk away from anything that holds you back.

Because protecting your peace isn’t a luxury.
It’s a necessity.

A quiet kind of strength that often goes unseen.

So if it’s not helping you move forward, ask yourself:

Why are you still holding on?

Do you agree?

If it doesn't being peace, progress or purpose then don't give it your time energy, or attention. Rob Dance.

Let’s be honest…

People at work will always have opinions.

– Some will question your choices. 
– Some will critique your performance. 
– Some will try to box you into a role you’ve outgrown.

But here’s the truth:

Their opinions don’t decide your value.

They never did. 
They never will.

Your competence, your potential, your worth - not up for debate.

So stop shrinking to fit someone else’s version of “professional.”

You set the standard. 
You define the path.

Not them.

Do you agree?

Your worth is not determined by anyone else's opinion. Rob Dance

Letting go isn’t failure.

It’s clarity.

You can care about the mission.

- The people
- The bigger purpose

But when the culture stops caring back?

You’re in a battle you can’t win.

You can’t outwork a system that refuses to change.

Not if leadership won’t listen. 
Not if the values on the wall mean nothing in practice.

Eventually, you realise:

→ Your time matters 
→ Your energy is limited 
→ Your passion deserves better

Leaving isn’t giving up.

It’s recognising what no longer deserves you.

Do you agree?

Sometimes you have to let go of the role. 

Not because you don't care, but because they don't. 

Rob Dance.

If peace only comes when work is perfect…

→ Your manager's happy
→ Projects go smoothly 
→ Your inbox is quiet

That’s not peace. 
That’s control.

And control never lasts.

Real growth?

It happens when you stay grounded while everything at work is in flux.

Because the truth is:

→ Deadlines shift 
→ Teams change 
→ Plans fall apart

So if you're waiting for calm to feel calm, you’ll be waiting a while.

The real challenge?

Staying grounded when nothing’s going to plan. 
That’s where growth happens.

Because peace isn’t about having a perfect week.

It’s about holding your centre when everything’s uncertain.

Do you agree?

If your peace depends on everything going right, it's not peace, it's control. Learn to be steady in uncertainty. That's real growth.

Biggest lesson of my career?

Stop giving more than you’re getting…

Especially when people show you that they won't return the same energy.

I learnt this the hard way:

- Burnout
- Being overlooked
- Constant overthinking

But they were there, right from the start.

I just didn’t want to believe them.

So if you’re stepping into a new space, pay attention to the red flags:

1) Overwork with no recognition
2) No room for questions or feedback
3) More competition than collaboration
4) Leaders who preach empathy but don’t live it

Trust your gut.

It will protect you peace more than anything else.

Do you agree?

♻️ More people need to see this, share it with your network!

Books teach you a lot.

But people?

They teach you how to lead.

→ The calm one when everything fell apart
→ The honest one when no one else would be
→ The one who made you feel like you mattered

They didn’t quote theory.
They just acted.

And that’s what stuck.

Because real leadership isn’t found in pages.

It’s found in people.

Empathy
Honesty
Presence

You learn that by watching, listening, and feeling.

So if you want to lead better?

Pay attention.

The best lessons are walking past you every day.

Do you agree?

Fear isn’t about something being impossible…

(Despite what you may think)

It’s about stepping into the unknown.

- No clear map.
- No guarantees.

Just unfamiliar ground.

That’s uncomfortable.

But it’s not a sign you can’t do it.

Because fear doesn’t mean failure. 
It means growth is on the table.

That nervous energy?

It’s not a warning. 
It’s proof you care.

You don’t need to be 100% ready.

You just need to take the step.

Do you agree?

It's scary because it's new, not because you're incapable. - Rob Dance

The old advice?

– Do more
– Hustle harder
– Say yes to everything

But that mindset?
It’s a fast track to burnout.

Because more isn’t always the answer.

Sometimes, it’s the problem.

So instead of another to-do list, try a stop doing list.

Ask:

→ What’s draining energy I don’t have?
→ What doesn’t align with who I’m becoming?
→ What am I only doing out of habit, guilt, or fear?

Protecting boundaries starts there.

With honest answers.
And hard cuts.

Because clarity doesn’t come from cramming in more.

It comes from clearing space.

Do you agree?

We help B2B Founders sign 5 high ticket clients in 90 days using our flywheel system (Used by 300+ clients). DM me ‘Scale’ if you are interested

You’re making it work. Just like most 'business' owners I meet.

But the truth?

You haven’t built a real business yet.

- You’re talented
- You’ve got some clients
- You know how to get results

But your sales call calendar? 
The inconsistent revenue? 
The never ending slack messages?

That’s the real problem.

Most agency owners I work with want three things:

1) Consistent pipeline with high quality leads
2) A team to delegate client work
3) Clarity on what to work on when

A business that works for you. Not a job.

Here’s how I help:

1) We position you to win premium retainers
2) We install a lead gen system to fill up your calendar
3) We fix your calendar so you can lead like a real CEO

And we do it together in a focused 90 day sprint

No fluff. No cookie-cutter advice. 

Just real support that drives results.

Here’s what that looks like:

📌 Tanner: From $15K with 1 client → $30K/month, in 4 months
📌 Sam: Doubled his agency and hired a new team in 90 days
📌 Tobi: Went from freelancer to $30K/month with A+ clients
📌 Alex: Scaled from $12k to $70k in 4 months
📌 Stephen: Scaled from $10k to $18k by increasing prices 
📌 Sammy: Grew by over 50% in 60 days and hired a team

And I’ve also done it all myself. Twice.

Built two 7-figure agencies from scratch.

Now I coach high-performing remote agency founders like you to do the same.

Minus the mistakes I made (LOL)

So if you’re:

- Running a marketing agency
- Already at $5K+/month
- Ready to grow without losing your sanity

→ Hit the ‘Book an Appointment’ button at the top of my posts

And let’s build the agency you actually want.

Consultant

Harry Phokou is one of the hardest working guys I know. 

We’re lucky enough to have him in our community. 

We joke that he has more hours in the day than the rest of us. 

Obviously not possible.
But not unbelievable either.
He works way harder than most.

He joined Undeniable in July.

Last month he launched the final part of his business.

He already does LinkedIn content.
He already runs a successful podcast.
He already offers appointment setting.
Now, he's launched events with sponsorship.

(he's running one right now in London!)

But the amount he gets done isn't what makes him so impressive.

It's the fact that he's always helping everyone else first.

Always offering to connect people.
Always offering solid business advice.
Always supporting others in the community.
Always believing in you before you believe in yourself.

It's all coming back around.

The opportunities.
The partnerships.
The growth.

Karma is a real thing. Harry is proof.

He's not just building a business.

He's building a reputation as someone who genuinely gives a damn about other people winning.

That's rare.

Big heart. Big impact. Big future.

That's Undeniable.


P.S. I'm sorry I couldn't attend your event this time Harry Phokou I'll make it up to you I promise 😘

Mischa Collins was great at building brands on LinkedIn.

But her prices didn’t show that. 

She’d built her LinkedIn to 40K followers.
Coached 30+ others how to do the same. 
Ghostwritten for a billion dollar company. 

But she didn't believe she could charge what she was worth.

So she kept her prices low.
Playing it safe.

She joined Undeniable in August. 

One week later she doubled her prices.
Signed a client straightaway. 

6 months later…
She’s more than tripled her MRR.

And, the results she got for clients got better.

Because when you charge more, everything changes:

- You attract better clients
- You take the work more seriously
- Clients value (and implement) your advice more

Mischa said something on our call that stuck with me:

"I didn't have confidence that I could do it for other people, even though I was literally already doing it for other people."

That's the trap.

You have proof it works but you're too scared to own it.

So you undercharge and overdeliver.

Mischa broke the cycle.

Now she finally believes what we could already see: 

She's really bloody good at what she does.


P.S. The confidence comes after you raise your prices. It’s scary but once you do it, you know your true value.

I went from charging $2K to $28K/month retainers. 

(and documented exactly how I did it)

After helping 300+ agencies scale, I can tell you…
More leads isn't the answer to your scaling problem.

Higher prices is.

You literally make more revenue by doing less work.

Then you have more money to:

- Hire better people
- Invest into your personal brand
- Invest in more marketing 

The problem?

Most agency owners don't know how to raise prices.

(Or they’re too scared to) 

So I recorded an 11-minute video showing the exact 5 techniques that took me from $2K/client to $28K.

What you'll learn:

- The reason why you're massively undercharging 
- The pricing psychology that guarantees yeses 
- How to position so price becomes secondary
- The technique that could double your revenue

If you want to:

1. Stop leaving money on the table
2. Charge what you're actually worth
3. Scale without burning out on more clients

This gives you the exact playbook.

Want it?

Comment "PRICE" and I'll send you the video.

Last week, whilst most people had their feet up…

I was in the gym with Mark Tweed at 6:30am. 

Mark started working for me 6 months ago. 
Last week, I flew to Northern Ireland to visit him. 
I wanted to see what his life looked like. 

So at 6:30am we went to the gym. 
Old-school bodybuilder gym. 

We did a brutal workout. 
Ended the session with the "Lose Yourself Plank" challenge.

Know what that is?

You hold a plank for the entire Eminem song.
5 and a half minutes.

And yes, we made it.

But in that moment I realised something. 

That feeling of pushing each other. 
Holding each other accountable. Not letting each other quit.

That's what Undeniable is all about.

That’s the community we are building. 

Because the truth is business isn’t fun. 

- Sending cold DMs isn’t fun. 
- Making sales calls isn’t always fun. 
- Tough conversations with clients isn't fun.

But if you're in the right environment with the right people?

You do it anyway.
You push through.
You start to enjoy it. 

That feeling I felt in the gym with Mark?

That’s what we're creating for ambitious founders. 
24/7 online and soon-to-be offline. 

If you're building something hard right now...

Stop doing it alone.

The right environment changes everything.


P.S. Are you brave enough to attempt a "Lose Yourself Plank"?

My Grandmas 84 and she’s smoked for 70 years. 

Last week she thought she was going to die. 

She’s a larger-than-life character.
Life of the party.
A Northern British accent you can't miss.

Last week, she couldn’t breathe. 
Scar tissue on her lungs was killing her. 

She was in hospital thinking it would be her last breath. 

She’s okay now thankfully. 

But driving home from Yorkshire, I couldn’t stop thinking about what she said…

"Make the most of the time you've got."

I spend so much time worrying about things that don’t matter. 

Revenue targets. Competition.
What people think of my LinkedIn posts 😅

But all my grandma cares about right now is time. 

The time she has left.
The time with people she loves.

You can’t buy more time.
No matter how rich or powerful you are. 

So here's what I'm taking into 2026:

Stop sweating the small stuff.

Make the big moves while I'm young and healthy.

Because one day I'll be 84.

I won't care about how many followers I had.
I won’t care about who my competition was. 

I'll care about what I actually did with my time.

And, who I helped.

Who's with me?

I built an agency with clients worth $180,000 that stayed for 18+ months. 

I’ve just documented exactly how I did that: 

It was because of our onboarding system.

Most businesses lose 30-50% of new clients within 90 days.

Not because their service is bad.

Because their onboarding is broken:

- Generic welcome emails with no strategy
- No plan for the buyer's remorse window
- Waiting until delivery to ask for testimonials
- Treating onboarding like admin 

This system is different. It's what we actually ran. 

What you’ll actually get:

- How onboarding starts on the sales call (not after)
- Buyer's remorse window + how to close it in 48 hours
- Pre-delivery testimonial system 
- The $50 gift strategy that keeps you top-of-mind 
- Client check-in cadence that prevents churn
- Expansion triggers built into the first 90 days
- Referral system that turns clients into advocates

If you want to:

1. Stop losing 30-50% of clients in the first 90 days
2. Build a system instead of winging it every time
3. Turn new clients into long-term partnerships

This gives you one onboarding system to run.

Want it?

Comment "ONBOARDING" and I'll send you the full breakdown.


P.S. This isn't theory. It's the exact system that kept $180K clients for 18+ months.
