KEY TAKEAWAYS
I’ve seen so many people, frequently including myself, at a restaurant, at a pub, at a bar, in a park, on their own or with friends and family, having a drink. One person is speaking, some are listening and some are on their phones. When you’re on your phones you tend to look down and you can see who’s around you, who’s leaving the room or coming into the room. Maybe this place you’re in is the place you’re going to mee a partner, a business colleague, someone who could come into your life and have an effect, but you won’t see it happening.
Crossing the road only using your ears rather than your sight. You could be hit by a car, you could have seen it coming and had the opportunity not to be hit by that car if only you’d opened your eyes.
There’s a moment where you could have connected with someone. If you’d just looked up and smiled, you could have made them smile too. Smile and the world smiles with you.
I was talking about investments the other night and it got my excited. If I had not been participating in that conversation at the moment and I was looking down at my phone I could have missed out on the opportunity to invest with likeminded, knowledgeable people about investing in rare whiskey or cryptocurrencies.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’ve started to raise my phone to my eye-level instead of looking down when I’m using my phone’
‘The world needs smiles right now.’
‘As an entrepreneur, I can’t tell you how much joy I take from opportunities.’
‘What a great opportunity I’ve been gifted in traffic to improve my ability to be patient.’
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.
