KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • I think the term entrepreneurship has evolved. When you look in the dictionary is says an entrepreneur would take a risk in the hop of profit, but I don’t think hope is a strategy. What the modern entrepreneur does is create useful and meaningful products and services that make a difference and matter to potentially vast numbers of people. Entrepreneurs like to stay lean and agile, to do multiple ventures, not just one – unlike small and large business owners – and they evolve as there’s disruption and change.
  • Zoom exploded in lockdown and Deliveroo did great business. You might say they had the right business model, but you could have evolved. It was illegal to do events during the lockdown and I own an events company that did north of $15million a year in revenue with 85-odd staff in that company. An entrepreneur will get past the frustrations and ask what’s the new problem and what’s the new solution, where are the new opportunities?
  • All of the standard things people say are good for impacting your energy: sleep, good diet, exercise, cold showers are great. But all of them combined don’t get close to having your passion as your profession and your vocation being your vacation. You could give a teenager the worst food and they would still play a video game for 16 hours through the night, no sweat. Why? Because they love it. I can burn the midnight oil in that way because I love what I do and I do what I love.
  • I don’t think I’m outstanding or great at one thing, I’m a jack of a few trades. But to Stay Outstanding means to stand out and to stand out is to unapologetically be yourself because naturally, if you are truly yourself you will stand out because we are all individuals.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I can’t think of a business idea I haven’t used, which means I’m either doing too much or I’m pretty productive.’

‘The real pandemic has been fear, it’s lowered the global consciousness.’

‘Passion, controlled, is the greatest source of energy mankind can tap into and I don’t know why no one else really talks about it.’

‘If you want to make a difference in many people’s lives you’re going to piss people off along the way. If you’re not pissing people off you’re not doing enough and you’re not putting yourself out there enough and you’re not being authentic enough.’

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.
