KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We all grew up with the word fear and failure as something to be scared of, but I see fear as: Face Everything And Rise. Same as fail: First Attempt In Learning. It’s all about programming and mindset to really thrive and not give up because there are great things ahead of us.
  • The majority of news on TV is bad news, we don’t hear a lot of good news. Only you have the control and the power to programme your mind and not let it be programmed by others. 
  • No book idea is stupid, there’s a market out there for anybody. I like to target people who are in real estate and minorities – people who look like me – because there are many people out there who want to do things but don’t know how to do it or have never seen someone like them do it before. 
  • These shit holes and roadblocks in life, slaps in the face, punches in the stomach had to happen multiple times in my life to get where I am today. That’s a combination of losing loved ones, being racially discriminated against, people not treating me fairly, hitting 430 on my credit score which is really bad in the US, I was completely broke and sleeping in my pick up truck while working two jobs, when my family went negative towards my decision making. All these things have molded me into who I am today, but at the end of the day it’s just you, you know yourself the most, you remember those downs and those ups. Any leader has to be a target, make sacrifices, feel alone at some point and I’m happy I went through that at a young age and understood those lessons in life. Now I teach other people about those and it’s kept me motivated, mature and strong in will and mindset.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The most important thing in your entrepreneurship journey is not giving up.’
‘Give before you receive – leave education and provide as much content as you can to educate people about what you do and how you help them.’
‘If you’re looking to change the world and impact the world it’s baby steps but your idea matters and you matter.’
‘You are your worst enemy but also the best advocate for yourself. If you say you can do it you can do it.’

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.
