KEY TAKEAWAYS
I’ve gone through several, if not many, failures of what to do when doom closes in. But it’s given me wisdom and experience that I can share.

Humans tend to go inside when doom closes in, we close ourselves off to the world and we don’t want to interact with the external world because it’s a lot of pressure. We go back into our shell like a hermit crab and focus on the doom and ask why it’s come for us and imagine you deserve it. It’s not, it’s all about mindset.

I went through some very rough times with business and personal bankruptcy, issues with relationships, negative thought patterns.

Think: “OK, this is going to happen, it’s an inevitability, what is it that I want in the future for myself and my loved ones?” Sit down and write a one month plan, a three month plan, a six month plan and 12 month plan, a three year plan, a five year plan. Get focussed on the bigger picture.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m not saying I know all the answer, I can only talk from experience.’
‘There’s probably some people listening to this saying “Gavin’s bonkers”, and I probably would have agreed a couple of years ago.’
‘If you focus on the problem the problem gets larger.’
‘People only ever solve problems by taking action in creating a solution.’
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.
