# Robert Newman > Founder & Entrepreneur | Career Growth, Negotiation & Startups I believe your circumstances, current salary or the opinions of others should never define what you’re capable of achieving. I’m an entrepreneur and technology founder with over 17 years of international experience in business, e-commerce, consulting and digital transformation. My journey hasn’t followed a conventional path. I increased my salary sevenfold in just six months while working in a foreign country, challenging recruiters who tried to define my worth by what I was already earning. I built a digital agency in London from scratch, without outside investment, and sold it for £2 million. I subsequently established Newman’s International Associates (NIA), building a consultancy and recruitment business serving a major international corporation, supplying specialist professionals and leading multimillion-dollar programmes across more than 12 countries. In 2021, I founded JobTag, a technology platform I independently financed and built from the ground up, bringing it to market in November 2025. Along the way, I’ve learned about negotiating your worth, building businesses, winning clients, taking calculated risks, handling rejection and continuing when things don’t go to plan. I don’t believe in recycled success formulas or telling people what they want to hear. I believe in honest conversations, practical experience and challenging the assumptions that hold people back. If you’re facing a difficult career decision, trying to increase your earning potential, building a business or questioning your next move, bring me one meaningful question. We’ll explore it together, directly and without scripts, and work towards a practical next step. ## Offerings - Video call (15 min): $250.00 ## Example Questions - How do I turn my professional skills and experience into a profitable business? - How do I overcome rejection, self-doubt and setbacks when pursuing ambitious goals? - How do I attract bigger clients and convince them that my expertise is worth a premium? - Can I build and grow a successful business without investors or outside funding? - How can I negotiate a much higher salary when recruiters keep judging me by my current earnings? ## Links - [Expert profile](/RobertNewman) - [Avatar](https://media.intro.co/avatars/1817087Clg13r9g.jpg) - [Marketplace](/marketplace)
