KEY TAKEAWAYS
I’m training for a 16km swim and there’s a stage called ‘hitting the wall’ that my body wouldn’t allow me to pass despite various types of preparation. I picked a spot to swim to and back that would break that resistance, the currents pushed and rolled me. It wasn’t the water for using the best technique for endurance swimming and conserving energy.
I was there, present in that moment, and today I broke 6.95km. That singularity aids in determination, motivation, it assists the cognitive process because there aren’t multiple subjects or elements that need to be fulfilled, there’s just one aim, one objective.
As humans, we naturally over complicate where we are and where we want to be. There are so many factors involved in whatever part of life in which we’re looking to improve. We cease to see in the singular, when it comes to mindset singularity is a determining factor in achieving one’s goals.
The four-minute mile wasn’t broken until Roger Bannister did it. After that people thought it was achievable and they began to run four-minute miles. Something changed in their mindsets, it was a transition from the mindset into a singularity of objective: “I am going to break the four-minute mile” – it doesn’t matter how and by how much, just that I will.
 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Is today the right day? Should I wait for a better day? Today was going to be the day no matter what.’
‘Singularity is so important in mindset’
‘Break down your goals to achieve that singularity and you will, without question, achieve that goal.’
‘The stronger the foundation the stronger the structure, the less likely the structure is to break.’
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.
