The Speed Mentor Podcast

According to Gavan, the new rock and roll of entrepreneurship are Resilience & Resolve. Would you agree?
Today, our Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall, dives deep into these two key concepts. These are needed so you could ensure that you stay motivated and always have the drive to achieve your end goals. Listen as he discusses the techniques he has used since the very start of his entrepreneurial journey.

Gavan emphasizes that your journey won’t always be like rainbows and unicorns. Difficulties that come will be unpredictable but, rest assured that you’ll definitely get nearer and nearer to your pot of gold when you follow every strategy that Gavan shares in this episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Resilience – the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties
• Resolve – the capacity to find solutions

What techniques can you use to become strong, healthy and successful?

• Pain is an opportunity. Some choose to back out of their plans as soon as they see threats and risks.
• Embrace new challenges to build resilience. Never give up when it gets tough.
• Never give up. But, be prepared to pivot if necessary.
• Don’t become discouraged. If you believe in yourself and your vision, no harmful influences can ever stop you from moving.
• Pareto Principle. Gavan uses this with his resolves. And, just like in Pareto principle, there will be 20% of the pain, but after that, there will be 80% of continuous success.

Hacks to always have resilience and resolve.

• Black humour. Humour is the easiest way to alleviate you from the stress and to remove all your worries
• Massive action. It doesn’t matter if it seems that getting off the rough patch won’t happen anytime sooner, always take massive action.
• It’s not just about asking for help, it’s also about giving it to others.
• Self-esteem. Work hard to be confident. Work hard to build up your knowledge and skill set.
• Personal Responsibility. You, you alone, is the captain of the ship that has been sailing since Day 1.
• Pivot when necessary. Be adaptable. Learn how to change course when what you’ve been traversing has made no improvements.
• Be prepared to fail. Accept that failure is going to be a part of your journey.
• Learn the lessons from your mistakes.
• The roots of the tree grow stronger as the trunk and branches are tested through time.
• Use negative emotions to drive you.
• Don’t get too much thought on the task, concentrate on the future.
• Control what you can control; don’t fret about what you can control.
• Take tiny steps.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Lindsey said that there are too many snowflakes out there and that somewhere, my tough medicine is just what is needed to get the success keep going.”
• “Pressure turns coal into diamonds, and so, the ability to withstand difficulties turns those difficulties into opportunities.”
• “The more pain I feel, the more I know that there are a very few of us left standing. And, if I just hold a little bit longer, the opportunity that the very few of us is just on the other side of that pain.”
• “When you’re building that confidence and you’re achieving stuff, it’s amazing how many other people want to get on board with your journey.”

Gavan wanted Mick as a mentee, Mick wanted Gavan as a mentor, and that was the start of what was about to be a success story!

In today’s episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares his great mentor-mentee relationship with Mick Donaghy. Mick since the very start had better plans for the recruitment industry. At the same time, he was already aiming to be one of the #1 Thought Leader in New Zealand. Some might say what he wanted was outrageous and impossible… well, it’s time to be proven wrong. Listen as Gavan shares how his eagerness and burning passion made him achieve his goals. With his own recruitment business, a podcast show, and other projects, no one can ever stop Mick!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gavan met Mick Donaghy through LinkedIn. What stands out was Mick’s desire to change things in the recruitment industry for the better.
• Why did Gavan offer pro bono high-quality mentorships?
  • It’s Gavan’s ultimate passion to help other people.
  • He doesn’t have to get money from his mentees; he gets his stream of income elsewhere.

• One advice of Gavan for Mick if he wants to be the best in recruitment was cutting down with his alcohol consumption. This will help him focus more and be more accountable about his goals.

BEST MOMENTS

• “You set him tough tasks and challenges, and he smashes through them and comes back asking for more like a Labrador with a stick down at the beach when you’re just trying to have some sleep. That’s what’s Mick like.”
• “It’s easy for me to encourage someone to do the sh#t. It’s the reason I don’t mind giving my secret sauce to anyone who’ll listen because the execution is so difficult.”
• “from backpacker to 50-50 business partner with a successful recruitment business in less than four years… this is the stuff that dreams are made of.”

“There’s no such thing as perfection. It is the bullsh#t that is used by those who like to validate their own procrastination.” – Gavan Wall, The Speed Mentor

Today, we talk about breaking the cycle of perfectionism. Gavan advises that rather than aiming for perfection, you should be striving for excellence. Procrastination is closely related to perfection. It’s the definite excuse of procrastinators why they don’t begin to take action to achieve their goals.

It’s time to change your belief system. Let Gavan’s 10 tips help you break the cycle of perfectionism/procrastination in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast. You got to start now and get excellent later.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Perfectionism often stems from childhood trauma where punishment is given when making mistakes.
• According to Gavan, rather than aiming for perfection, aim for excellence. Excellence offers more flexibility. Excelling means doing your tasks to your best standards taking into consideration that there will be two types of outcomes, the bad and the good.
• Acknowledge that you are a human and everyone has flaws. What you should aim is to be better than you were yesterday. Improve your craft. Take into consideration all the feedback and use it to motivate and learn what you can change in your actions.

10 things to Break the cycle of perfectionism and procrastination:

• Be firm about your set deadlines.
• Leverage your tasks to someone else.
• Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re not perfect.
• Change your standards by merely ‘being better than you were yesterday’.
• Go and purposely fail at something.
• Talk about your failures.
• Be YOU.
• Stop being cautious.
• Take a broad brush approach to your tasks.
• Leave your home in a mess.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Perfectionism is nothing more than a procrastinator’s last refuge to shield themselves from acting.”
• “None of us is perfect. No matter what the Instagram pictures tell us, we’re all flawed. Get used to it.”
• “Freedom, growth, and fulfilment lie in the ability to accept that you’re not perfect.”

“Recruitment is not about a transaction of hiring staff… It’s about showcasing the story of your own secret sauce.” – Gavan Wall

Learn today, from the one and only Speed Mentor Gavan Wall! Find out how to recruit the right people for your team and how to retain them.

UK businesses spend too much on recruitment fees. Instead of reinvesting them inside your business to improve your operations and to benefit your workers, your money gets thrown away on the unnecessary stuff. Gavan says you can cut your recruitment costs in almost HALF if you attract your target-people the right way. Discover more about these proven strategies when you tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are 40,000 recruitment consultancies in the UK, and UK businesses spent £7 Billion on recruitment in 2017-2018.
• Gavan has already planned everything for his company, and he is eager to follow his timetable to meet his goals. The only thing that was stopping him was his business didn’t have the talents he needed to get it going and to stay on track. And to add, he didn’t have the budget to go to recruitment agencies to assist him with this, so he had to resort to alternatives.
• He thought that if he could present prospects a compelling narrative about their business’ journey, then they would be enticed to jump right in and push for the company’s visions. He thought that people look way past the salary grade, and he was right. He was able to get his right team.
  • #BackinNorthBelfast – This hashtag was started Gavan and has gained so much traction. People began approaching them and are ready to help them in their journey.
• Make sure that when you already created the best team that would help you forward your business, you nurture the relationship and help their individual goals. Always communicate with them. Two ends should always be benefitted.

BEST MOMENTS

• “The recruitment sector is the mirror image of the rest of the business community.”
• “As good business owners, our primary role is to run good quality profitable businesses.”
• “If you can attract people to your business for non-monetary reasons, if they buy into what you’re doing, if they could be part of it – part of something, then they stay longer and give more for your common cause.”
• “The story must be authentic, or the people will smell the bullsh#t.”

A simple YES or NO to any opportunity that knocks can totally change your life.

Today, in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares how one decision at a time can change your life. Like most people, Gavan has had some taste of toxicity with his peers growing up. When you’re young, all you want to do is be free, enjoy life, and not worry about anything. But the problem is, that wouldn’t be the case when you get out to face reality. You need to learn how to survive, make money, and be valuable to others. Discover how you can easily let go of things (and people) that don’t actually help you improve your life when you tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gavan was a smart kid equipped with advanced knowledge and a competitive skillset, but his ultimate problem was his bad attitude. He wasn’t thinking of his parents’ money that is spent on tuition, and he’s not driven to achieve anything.
• Use all your negative experiences to motivate you to improve yourself and to help others. Don’t let them prevent you from achieving success. They are but a part of your journey; don’t let it define your purpose.
• He has made the wrong decisions. He acquired the habit of drinking, he bought expensive pieces of stuff, he partied till morning almost every evening, etc. but eventually, the time came that he knew he needed to stop being so aimless about his actions.
• 22 years ago, one big decision Gavan made brought him £500 per week, which he compounded into three side hustles:
  • Share trading (using only his HP Jornada)
  • Property investment
  • A franchise of a phone card business

BEST MOMENTS

• “After a few years of being sorry for myself, I started getting my sh#t together. At the age of 27, I started to change the trajectory of my life from one adrift to one of purpose.”
• “Negative emotions are purpose founded on the negative or born out of pain.”
• “Once you change your mindset, the things can really turn.”
• “The compound effect of that one decision, that change in mindset, that decision to cut the umbilical cord and take an opportunity which no one else wanted… I rolled all that up, and now I got to the savings and turned it into a side hustle. The impact was huge.”

Have you thought lately that you’re doing too much stuff that’s not adding value to your business?

In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan helps you assess the time you put in inside your business. Is your ‘hourly rate’ as a businessman still worth your time? Should you outsource some business processes? Gavan highly suggests that you look into outsourcing a few of your business processes so you can concentrate on the value-adding tasks. Know also why start-ups and solo entrepreneurs look into hiring virtual assistants.

Gavan says this episode will have an impact on you, and he wants you to take immediate action after listening!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Compute your hourly rate. If you’re a business owner, learn how to compute your personal earning rate or hourly rate. Divide your per annum earnings by 52 (number of weeks), then divide the quotient by the hours you spend in a week. For example, if you’re earning £60,000 per annum and working 50 hours per week, then your hourly rate is £23.08.
• Analyse the tasks you do every single week. Make a detailed list of all the tasks you do, from the easiest to the hardest. Order them according to the value they add to your business.
• Look at the bottom of your list – the least value-adding tasks. Outsource these business tasks, especially the administrative functions (e.g. booking appointments, procuring equipment, etc.)
• Find someone who could help you do these tasks and also bring a different kind of value through them. Search for virtual assistants in online platforms that offer freelance services to entrepreneurs.
• If the people you hire see that you are a confident and competent leader, then surely, they’ll be motivated to do their tasks effectively.
• Another advice from Gavan: When you see someone special, do everything to make him join your team.

BEST MOMENTS

• “When you take a systematic approach to stuff like these [tasks], it will scare you how much you are doing that someone else should be doing and how much time you can have back to be adding value elsewhere.”
• “There’s almost certainly a gap in your market that you are not exploiting because you’re doing so much time on these lower value-adding stuff.”
• “If you’re not brave yet, start leveraging your time through a virtual assistant or a part-time person.”
• “Believe in what you’re doing.”
