KEY TAKEAWAYS
I played tennis yesterday badly, well below my standard which really frustrated me. After the game I had a beer, which tasted nice, so I had another beer and some more and some glasses of wine. At the end of the session I get on my bike and begin listening to David Goggins and he says: “you determine your mind, not your mind”.
Why was it that I determined that I was going to walk up the hill away from the tennis club with my bike? The mind and body is most comfortable when it doesn’t have to work. This is my mind and body telling me not to work. I get motivated by David Goggins and I get in the bike and ride up the hill.
My cycle there and back was almost exactly the same time, the first was done with a mindset of getting there without straining myself, the second was done with the mindset of getting home safe.
The only question is: Does your greatness arise naturally, or are you forced to tap into your greatness as and when you are challenged, irrespective to the level of challenge? You mind will tell you what to do, but will you allow it? We are the drivers of our own mind.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If I’d allowed myself to predetermine walking up the hill, I would have walked up the hill.’
‘Most speakers will tell you motivation only gets you so far, but if you’re feeling inspired and you have an absolute need, then you can achieve greatness.’
‘I’m not suggesting the my cycling home with a few drinks inside of my in the semi-darkness signifies greatness. What I mean is the greatness in my wouldn’t allow me to quit.’
‘A challenge is different for each and evey one of us is different and so is our individual greatness.’
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.
