KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We, as human beings, are already connected spiritually and yet we have so much trouble making connections with other human beings. It fascinates me that we meet people at an event and we get awkward and we start interviewing them right away about what they do for a living for example. Our hearts and spirits are already all connected, all we have to do is remember we are and to connect casually, sensitively, softly, and then we can take it wherever we want.
- My 3 words are connection, collaboration, and community. At the start of a workshop I say it takes a village to raise a child, but do you know that it takes a community to grow a business? We’re not going to get very far trying it on our own. A lot of us have tried and we didn’t get very far. Community is a big moving force in today’s world. If an entrepreneur doesn’t understand the value of community I believe they will feel left out and isolated and fallen behind and stay in this loop, like in Groundhog Day.
- One of my clients was very good financially but had started a business that just wasn’t getting off the ground. I asked her why that is and why she was investing so much money into something that wasn’t bringing a return on investment? We looked at her other businesses and I realise she hadn’t activated this business, she was going by her own agenda and what she thought the world needs and how she wanted to be perceived in the wider market, her visibility, reputation and image. Is that what the clients need? SO I asked her to find 1 client and talk about their needs, then start doing this on e a 1-2-1 basis with 5 clients then come back and tell me what they need rather than starting with her. Within months she was making tons of money on a course and picked up many more clients.
- For me, getting to know your customer and their needs is all customer service is. Many times we transform the meaning into today’s meaning, which is looking good, having an imagine and the customers will come. They aren’t customers. They’re simply people that are curious, so what? It doesn’t mean that you’re going to convert them to a customer. Are you looking for more eyes on you or are you really looking to serves?
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s appalling to see these wonderful entrepreneurs doing the card game – exchanging business cards – and listening to some of the coaches tell them it takes 7-12 touch points before you make a connection or get a sale. Who’s got time for that these days?!’
‘It really depends on the level of connectivity you have with a human being as to what sort of relationship you will develop, and whether or not you make a sale is irrelevant to the relationship.’
‘When any one of us is stuck in a loop nothing happens, there’s no fizzling or sizzling happening around us and we wonder what’s keeping us stuck. It’s simply a pattern in our own mind that’s keeping us stuck because of some memory of something I couldn’t do or didn’t happen.’
‘My word for this year is: Activate.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Rosabelle Lokaisingh: For the last 20 years, I have been known as a Connector, teaching networking skills, and bringing people together with synergies, which is what led me to become the Matchmaker. Most of that time has been about building networks for professionals, entrepreneurs and communities so that everyone wins.
Being a Business Matchmaker is not much different from being a Relationship Matchmaker. Success is all about relationships. Who you know, who you need to know, and who you don’t know yet, but will need to know soon will all show up when you learn how to make the right connections at the right time and you leverage your network, as if you’re mining for gold.
And that’s where I come in…

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
