KEY TAKEAWAYS

• 3 years ago, the world shut down and everyone was forced into a digital space. I took it very seriously that my clients weren’t going to be victims of the unexpected, which is why you build networks; to have the resources you need when the unexpected happens.
• You could call it networking, but networking is an activity, like cooking or running, something you do to accomplish a greater goal. The purpose of Crusaders Networking & being a strategic connection coach is the greater goal and the multiple paths that you can get there, which is not after-hours mixers, passing a business card, listening to sales pitches and drinking… not that there’s anything wrong with drinking! 
• There are 4 goals that professionals need on a consistent basis for long-term success. 1) Creating & maintaining relationships. 2) Finding & leveraging opportunities. 3) Attracting strategic partners & mentors to help introduce you to larger rooms. 4) A measurable action plan so you can pay attention to what is working & needs more of you time, & what is not working & needs less or to be adjusted.
• You see people who are ‘natural’ or ‘comfortable’ doing something & you think ‘I could never do that’ when the reality of it is it’s a skill & they’ve practiced it for so long that it looks like art. But, at some point they were students learning it. Making mistakes is natural & normal.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I create environments where businesses can come to get to know each other, become referral partners, & grow.’

‘When times are good, it’s easy to dismiss the necessity to build network, but when times are bad it’s too late, you already needed it in place. That was the seed that created Crusaders Networking.’

‘The best way to find the results that you are seeking is to go into it with strategy, intention & the right mindset.’

‘Be true to who you are. When the person you are on the inside shows on the outside, it’s like a beacon and brings in your tribe – your vibe attracts your tribe.’

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.
