35 words changed Rob Wall’s life forever.
Shorter than a text, more succinct than a tweet, but strong enough to sustain a lifetime of purpose and calling. As Rob recorded an episode of his podcast, he found himself seated across from Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela’s personal confidant and prison guard on Robbin Island.
“You see Rob,” Christo said, “Nelson taught us all, what counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”
The words which echoed Mandela’s life philosophy, striking a chord with Rob and igniting a passion to empower entrepreneurs. His mission became clear: help others thrive by merging purpose with profit and transforming lives.
The Global Go-To-Faith-Based Expert
As a faith-based digital course expert, Rob has become a sought-after authority for seven-figure CEO’s, global brands, and industry leaders worldwide. His unique coaching approach has positioned him as a key player in the $325 billion online learning industry. With global e-learning projected to grow even further, Rob’s impact spans across 44 countries, helping entrepreneurs build businesses that align with their calling, gifts and faith.
“I want to see every digital device and desktop with a digital course running on it,” Rob says. It’s an ambitious vision, but one that fuels his drive for the next 10 years. Rob believes digital courses can change lives, and his expertise has empowered a wide range of entrepreneurs, from local start-ups to global giants. His method? Time-tested principles and a unique set of expertise and experiences.
Embrace Your Uniqueness
“To make a difference, you need to discover your difference,” Rob often says. “The most successful entrepreneurs embrace their uniqueness and are unafraid to show the world who they really are. The reality is, in order to stand out, you’re not going to fit in.”
This core belief drives Rob’s coaching approach, encouraging entrepreneurs to understand their gifts and use them to serve others.
Emerging from Cleric to Coach
Rob’s journey began when he transitioned from a Church of England vicar to coaching entrepreneurs worldwide. Faced with the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, Rob discovered the power of creating a single digital course – one based on his own expertise – that could provide lasting value and revenue.
“Everyone has a digital course in them,” Rob affirms. That discovery set the foundation for his new career.
No Shortcuts to Success
One of Rob’s most valuable experiences came as a founding team member at Glorify, a tech startup. When Rob first joined, the app was receiving just 50 downloads a week. Under Rob’s leadership in content creation and strategy, Glorify saw exponential growth, eventually surpassing 7 million subscribers. During his tenure, the company secured over $40 million in Series A funding.
This experience reinforced Rob’s belief that “there are no shortcuts to suddenly,” a lesson he passes on to every entrepreneur he coaches. Since then, Rob has helped countless business leaders build scalable systems that allow them to thrive without trading time for money.
The Power of “Why”
Rob’s personal “why” is simple: he’s driven by the opportunity to change lives through digital courses. His coaching allows entrepreneurs to create and sell a course anywhere between $97-997 that’s pre-recorded and set up as an automated webinar system, that they can sell one time per day, every day. This consistent sale results in nearly $9,000 a month in passive income, empowering entrepreneurs to focus on what matters most.
“After 90 days of working with me,” Rob shares, “the average entrepreneur can earn up to $10,000 a month in passive income.” Rob’s vision is not just about financial freedom – it’s about creating lasting impact through a scalable business model centred around somebody’s passion and personal calling.
Building a Lasting Legacy
As Rob Wall looks to the future, he’s just getting started. Nelson Mandela’s words remain a guiding light as he lives out making a difference in other’s lives that defines and gives significance to his own. For Rob, that difference is profoundly purposeful, and set to echo across the globe.
“A legacy is not what you leave for people, it’s what you leave in people,” Rob says. “I want my legacy to have legs, and to abide with others in my absence.” Rob’s living to do this one student at a time, one course at a time, one opportunity at a time. His vision of seeing a digital course on every device worldwide drives a mission that’s bigger than him, that will resonate for generations.
