In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about trying to keep the peace between two young brothers who wanted to play different games and how the conversation led to a conversation around manipulation and how this links into our perception of being rewarded.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • He was holding us hostage to play the game he wanted to play. By holding us hostage that’s manipulation, but he said: “You manipulate us all the time: Dad says if I don’t eat dinner I have to go to bed, or if I don’t do my homework I don’t get to eat my dinner, or if I don’t play nicely with my brother I don’t get to see my friends at the weekend.”
  • On my journey to the local street music festival today I took a 15 minute scooter ride which cost me €6, I then had to walk up a hill which cost me some sweat and calories and I noted how I went to the gym this morning and that I shouldn’t be doing this walk right now and that therefore I should be rewarded for doing this walk. My mind was manipulating me. How long has this programme been playing out for?

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘My eyes see it [the open supermarket], thinks “I’ve done all this work, I must be rewarded”, either because when I was younger I held my parents/brothers/school teachers hostage or they held me hostage.’
‘I’m constantly learning, I’m not perfect, I share my journey as I go through my journey in different ways, like in these solo episodes of my podcast.’

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.
