Episodes

Back to The Future- Speed Through The Change

The journey as an entrepreneur has taught Gavan the importance of sacrifice and building a great team around you who complements your own skillset and in this episode, he goes back to the beginning of his journey to review the moments that changed his direction along with the learning and experiences that have shaped him as an entrepreneur In this back to the future episode, Gavan shares some great advice from his journey and explains how ultimately ‘The Change’ is a venture with unlimited opportunities and no glass ceiling for possibilities and outcomes    KEY TAKEAWAYS I built a property portfolio through buying, renovating, and renting out It’s all about the yield from the property providing the deposit for the next property The franchise route can be a great learning curve for someone starting out but you are only as good as the master franchiser or the brand Do proper due diligence on the quality of the brand and the time they have been in the marketplace A simple and repeatable business model can grow to scale with a small initial seed investment. Diversification is vitally important Negativing centring for your motivation is not good for your fulfilment in the long term To be successful you need to work harder than your competitors To get results you need to get out there, be prepared to be fearless and set big goals Without the experience of failure, I wouldn’t be the person  I am today I applied the learning  from buy to let – improving one shop and enhancing its value, then using the funds from the improved shop to fund the next one I wanted to create my own ecosystem where there are no limits With The Change the opportunities are unlimited and the outcome is completely unknown    BEST MOMENTS ‘If you knock on enough doors one of them will open wherever you are in the world’ ‘In the medium term use it like a fire of molten f#cking lava in your innards to drive you on’ ‘Failure steeled me that nothing else I’d ever experienced’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Not So Much The Year of The Tiger in 2022, It’s The Year of The F######G Walrus – Part 1

With just a few days until the Chinese New Year and taking inspiration from the legendary Meatloaf, Gavan is in fine voice as he explains why following the creation of an iconic album Meatloaf toured extensively marketizing his product to the people of the world and in doing so created his legacy. There are many things in life that you are not in control of but the drive to make the most of your talents is yours to control, and as Gavan explains many are satisfied with the average but it’s the driven that are winning in life   KEY TAKEAWAYS Meatloaf is a legend in pop and rock circles, huge in every way with the Bat Out of Hell album selling 43 million copies Meatloaf was truly unique and didn’t act like the traditional rock star and my abiding memory is about him being hardworking He had an incredible drive to marketize his music and get it out to people around the world He created a product, the music, and then sold it  down multiple verticals and he delivered every time Every industry has the obsessed and they are the ones winning He created a thing of beauty and then toured to make sure everyone heard it. He wanted to create a legacy and you should too Value your content, make it the best you can and then grind it to create the reoccurring revenue You control in totality your drive to make the most of your talents Too many are satisfied by creating the average and selling it 9 to 5 but legacy is built by compounding relentlessly The starting point for creating more is being prepared to step out of your comfort zone Winners want huge success and to leave a legacy and if you apply yourself in the right way you will achieve success   BEST MOMENTS ‘This guy was a f##king legend’ ‘To others, he was a rock megastar, to me he was a hard-working, revenue-generating, money machine’ ‘Put your best out there and let it be judged’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

There's One Key Success Ingredient That No-one is Talking About

Success is a jigsaw made up of many pieces and there are easier pieces and those that are harder to identify – the silent passive parts and in this episode, Gavan looks at one of those pieces – patience He discusses the need for patience and the benefits of learning to be patient in both the short term and the long term. When you understand the critical importance of patience in the jigsaw of success you can achieve more and make the difference you want.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The silent, passive parts of the jigsaw of success are as important as the more obvious parts Developing patience is essential for your success Patience is the ability to wait while continuing to do something despite the challenges and difficulties without becoming annoyed You have to have a still mind in the middle of the storm The pressure can become intense in the middle of a deal and you may begin to doubt yourself It’s easier to do something, to take action than to wait but the winners know patience is just part of the process The process of purchases and sale scan be just as stressful as running the business A lack of patience can be what undoes a potentially great deal When you realise the importance of patience your deals will improve   “Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius” (Benjamin Disraeli) We underestimate what we can achieve in our lives because we apply the metrics of where we are now   BEST MOMENTS ‘We are trained to expect instant results and engage in actions with immediate gratification’ ‘There is gold in giving your plan a chance to breathe’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

A Goal Unwritten is Just a Wish

In this episode, Gavan gets into the rules for goal setting and explains why you must always write down your goals and truly understand the difference between your short, medium and long term goals if you want to achieve them He explains why when you have a gorilla goal it should scare you and how committing more is the way forward to achieving freedom  for the rest of your life Apply these rules for goal setting and your life can take a different trajectory, get committed, be consistent and make a difference   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your priorities come from the goals you set yourself in life Take the time to think about your goals and what you really want Do you spend time regularly creating, reviewing, and delivering your goals? Have you written down your goals? If you haven’t written down your goals, you are not committed to anything and are close to being a fraud Commit and be free for the rest of your life, the more committed you are the freer you will become until you have unlimited options Goals are in three different categories – short term, medium goals, and long term goals Long term ‘gorilla’ goals are the goals you set but don’t have any idea about how you will achieve them The short term goals are the building blocks for the medium-term goals Only when the medium-term goals are delivered consistently can you look towards the gorilla goals Everyone has a different starting point but your gorilla goals should scare you Visualise the delivery of your goals and you will start to believe you can do it Build a sacrifice plan alongside your goal plan so you know what you are prepared to give up   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m using my downtime to back the entrepreneurial world’ ‘What are you afraid of? Why are you not committing?’ ‘If a goal isn’t written down it’s just a f#cking wish’ ‘You need to understand what your priorities are’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Freedom Is Building The Talent To Work Elsewhere

As we move on from the pandemic Gavan reflects on the many people who are waiting for an indication of where things will be going because they are, in reality, standing still in a time where if you want to make a difference you need to take action. Real job security is knowing you have the talent to work elsewhere and you can only have this sort of security if you invest in yourself  and Gavan highlights some great individual entrepreneurs who have got on and made the difference themselves changing the rule book in their business space because they had built their own talent   KEY TAKEAWAYS People are waiting for some inspiration of where things are going next Whatever happens, there will be opportunities It’s about the deep work we do on ourselves all the time to make sure we are in a position to lead You have to get yourself ready and build your own talent Be in a position where others are worried about losing you If you are standing still you are comparatively walking backwards There are people out there who are working to make a difference in their lives She didn’t wait for others she got on and did it herself You have to tell people you have arrived Every business owner can think about ripping up the rule book and do something different The only thing that matters is where you are going and you need to be in the driving seat Are you waiting for someone else to open the door or are you going to kick the f#cking door down yourself? Invest in yourself and develop your talents for whatever lies ahead Only you can have true freedom and develop the talents to work anywhere   BEST MOMENTS ‘The world has been shaken up over the last couple of years’ ‘When the insecurity is there some people can crawl back into their shells’ ‘I’m truly staggered by her hunger to be open to new learning and new connections’ ‘I’ve invested in myself over many years and built the talent to work anywhere on my terms’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Green Door Looks Like Failure, but Look Closer….

This episode was inspired by former mentees of Gavan, Sean and JP at Core Impact along with Premier Painters and their responses to the fear of failure You have to be prepared to fail if you want to succeed and be conscious of your emotions, learning to recognise and control them with your conscious mind. Be like Gavan - face the fear take on the project and harness the fear of failure to drive you towards success and going through the door   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being cosseted from cradle to grave means we are losing the taste for the thrill of the climb You have to have the balls to fail if you ever want to succeed Fear of failure can either work for you or against you If you understand and master it then you can use it as a tool that can be used towards achieving success In this world you can probably do no more than the minimum and get through life comfortably If you are brave enough to make the jump or take the risk that’s when the good side of the fear of failure drives you on to successful outcomes Don’t let the fear of failure stop you and use the fear of failure to drive you forward It’s only an emotion so you can mould it to you personally, controlling it and using it for your benefit When you understand  it’s something you can control you are on to a winner When you can take control of it rather than letting it control you that’s when you start to grow Face it in stage one during lift-off and use it in stage two during the rapid decent   BEST MOMENTS ‘We are cosseted from the cradle to the f#cking grave in the West and prevented from failing’ ‘The journey back was only possible because I was prepared to go again and fail again if necessary’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Re-Arrange The Spaghetti Letters In Your Life

Gavan is in full and inspiring voice as he makes the case for being a producer not a consumer and explains how he is determined to be the greatest producer NI has ever seen. When you make the change and become a producer the opportunities open up and at this time in the world the opportunities are mounting up as we move into a period of demand for the consumption of knowledge, content and events following the global lockdown. The producers are the successful ones getting on done on multiple fronts, so what do you want to be a producer or a consumer?   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s all about personal development The sooner you are the producer in any field the faster you can move forward You have to change your thought process and when you do there are plenty of opportunities out there We could be entering a decade long period of consumption following lockdown There will be demand for consumption of knowledge, content and events from an increased number of people Are you going to let the opportunity pass you by and keep consuming other people’s stuff or are you going to be fu#king brave enough to do something about it? In a group of people, 80% are consumers and 20% are producers In the 20% of producers, there are 80% who are moving along steadily and 20% who are the uber producers Your target should be to be in the 20% of the 20% We all know who the producers are they are the successful ones who are getting it done and producing at scale on multiple fronts It’s time to wake up and become a producer, there is no one stopping you except yourself.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Producer or consumer?

A Look Behind This Entrepreneur's Curtain

Gavan looks at what can be achieved if you are an entrepreneur who is open, resilient and adaptable. He updates where everything is with ‘The Change’ and shares a very honest and open look at the journey so far including how the focus has changed. As an entrepreneur, it’s about consistently putting in the extra effort and building the best team around you if you want to make your dreams a reality. If you want to be inspired and really understand what it takes to make things happen this is the episode for you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS A coach can coach you to be a better version of yourself When you are looking for a mentor look for someone who has achieved significantly more than you and done so in a way that is complimentary to you and your values Extra effort compounded over time is what gets the results You have to be consistent and build a better team around you The Change Innovation Services carries out innovation reviews of companies to help their leaders understand and implement innovation better and to create an innovation strategy that potentially unlocks innovation funding The Change Intellectual property is the vehicle we use to help transform companies from caterpillar to butterfly. The Change Venture capital focused on investing in people in ideas and the potential to change the world When we started we were all about venture capital but you never know where the market will lead The innovation and transformation response from the start of The Change has changed our direction. As an entrepreneur, you need to be open, resilient and to be adaptable when necessary   BEST MOMENTS ‘The holy grail for all entrepreneurs is to make themselves redundant’ ‘Don’t be afraid of where you are right now it’s where you are going that matters’ ‘The Change is about leading a revolution through innovation’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Opportunity Knocks

This episode is all about opportunities, identifying them and understanding which ones are worth pursuing. Opportunity what is it, what does it look like which opportunities are worth pursuing and which should be let go? Gavan answers the questions in this episode. Every day we have the choice to over-deliver on those small and almost intangible opportunities that when compounded make a difference and it is doing this that prepares the way for bigger opportunities so take the small opportunities that are everywhere, every day to compound and make a difference.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The one big opportunity is a myth perpetrated by those who weren’t successful to frame those who were successful. Those who are successful become successful from the compound effect of all the small opportunities they find every day in the nooks and crannies of life. The small opportunities may not even look like opportunities because they are not a major win and the outcome of a single small opportunity may not make a difference. The compound effect of all these small opportunities creates the big opportunity. It’s about doing the little things every single day and taking care of the details. Success is compound and is made up of the accumulation of small opportunities we can choose to take every day. You have to deliver success by building it piece by piece every day. It’s about always leaving more in a deal than you have to and being prepared to not only deliver but over-deliver. Taking the small opportunities is the training that will prepare you to climb the mountain of the big opportunity. Over-deliver on these small opportunities and people and the world will present you with bigger and better opportunities because you can take care of the small stuff.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I spent weeks and hours thinking until my head f#cking hurt because I couldn’t see the one big opportunity’ ‘All the small, almost intangible opportunities are the ones that compound to make a difference’ ‘It’s about doing the little things every single day and taking care of the details’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

STFU 40hrs per week is never enough!

Gavan explains why some people are average and some are successful in an episode that is a call to action for those who seek success and world domination. Anyone who has ever been successful is someone who puts in the work relentlessly over months and years and if you are prepared to do thirty year’s work in seven years then you can do whatever you want whilst others carry on doing the work for you. Average outcomes are the result of putting in average effort but if you want something more Gavan shares exactly what you need to do and how to take action and get started today because nothing of significance was ever created in the envelope of the 40 hour working week.   KEY TAKEAWAYS On 40hrs a week you’ll be an also-ran and that’s the truth Successful people relentlessly apply themselves every day of the week, week after week, month after month, year after year Make a decision about what you want do you want to be at the top or average? If your outcomes are average then you are putting in average effort. If you can dedicate seven years to working a minimum of eighty hours a week you will be able to take the rest of your life off whilst others and your passive income work for you. The compound effect of the work you have done will take you through the rest of your life. Do seven years of total dedication and then you will have choices about whatever you want to do. The world would be a much better place if those who are happy with average acknowledged this is enough for them. The sooner you start the better. Make a plan so you know where you are headed and get on with it.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Nothing of significance was ever achieved within the envelope of a 40hr working week’ ‘People are unhappy with the results they are getting but the reality is it’s about hard work’ ‘Do 30 year’s work in seven years and you can do whatever you want’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Want More Success - You Gotta Go One Inch Wide and One Mile Deep!

Gavan is in fine voice as he discusses why you need to focus on going 1 inch wide and 1 mile deep with an absolute focus on developing knowledge and expertise if you want to be an entrepreneur who makes their mark on the world. Taking a generalist approach to try and please everyone usually results in a lack of appeal and interest from anyone so getting focused finding a niche and becoming the most knowledgeable in your area is the only way to find the right market, one where people will be seeking you out.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You can focus on going one inch wide and one mile deep as an entrepreneur When you are a generalist you don’t develop the nuance and expertise that you can grow when adopting the 1inch wide and deep approach Most people take a generalist approach to try and attract the most people but this, in fact, can mean you are too vanilla to be of interest to anyone. Find your area of focus or your niche market and focus on it What niche can you serve best? You should build your business to be without you otherwise you have just created a job for yourself.

Mixing a Cocktail of Excitement and Fear to Smash 2021

In this explosive episode welcoming in the New Year Gavan explains why to fulfil; your dreams you need to have the right mix of excitement and fear. To achieve your goals, you need to be excited by them but you also need to challenge yourself to grow by stepping outside your comfort zone. If you are a bit scared about how you are going to deliver your goals then you will be growing and learning as you ambitiously move forwards. Gavan’s call to action is just the right mix for any entrepreneur because as we all know where there is disruption there is opportunity and in the future, 2020 will be viewed as the foundation of great opportunity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you’ve crashed in 2020 then you’ve learnt about humility and will have the hunger for success. Reflection on the year that’s been and a plan for the year ahead is important. There is no time like now to make changes. You need to mix excitement and fear to achieve your dreams in 2021 so set your vision and plan for the year ahead. Make sure your goals scare you, they must be outside of your comfort zone so that you continue to grow. Write something down that excites you enough to dedicate yourself to it but also scares you because you are not quite sure how you will deliver it and work backwards from there. Fill in the monthly activities that you will need to achieve your big goal. You need to have ambition and obsession to make your dreams and vision a reality.   BEST MOMENTS ‘You can come back just like I did’ ‘I’ve grown to love the process of exciting and scaring myself every year’ ‘What preparation have you put into the year ahead?’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Building A Legacy Project

Gavan shares his own real-life example of how an opportunity can have many twists and turns but you must always be working towards your vision and the creation of your legacy. The journey can be bumpy and there are always the unexpected twists and in Gavan’s example there are many but if you are really an entrepreneur building a legacy then you will keep moving forward because it’s the only option. You need to be focused, determined and never give up when you are someone who wants to make a genuine difference and create a legacy project and it all begins by being open to the possibilities and opportunities around you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The only question to ask yourself as an entrepreneur is how can you best position yourself to be ready for the opportunities? Are you someone who wants to make a real difference and create a legacy? What are the decisions you will have to make to achieve your vision and goals? You need to open your eyes to the possibilities and opportunities around you Work on your business not in it if you want to be successful. Be prepared to do your research on opportunities and listen to what your gut tells you Don’t live to the maximum of your earnings you must have the capacity to reinvest in your business when opportunities appear. Be prepared to lose money on business development opportunities.   Sometimes when the opportunity pays off it will be adding to your legacy. Be hugely enthusiastic when you are presenting your ideas to others so you can change the doubters into believers. Think big and dream even bigger if you don’t nothing will happen. Work your f#cking arse off and never give up trying.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Trust your gut and don’t listen to the doubters’ ‘I believed that if I built it they would come’ ‘You must be planning and working towards your vision and legacy all the time’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Creating a Global Vision

Gavan is looking at the importance of having a vision in driving you and business forward to success. Your vision should be at the centre of your business and a great vision is a bright shiny mental image of where you want your business to be in the future. A good vision is what will keep you focused and stop you becoming distracted so Gavan’s advice on how to create an inspiring global vision for you, your team and your customers is invaluable.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Vision – the ability to plan the future with imagination Don’t let those around you with smaller mindsets slow you down or reduce your vision. Start with a global vision. When you are creating your vision; -Keep it short and simple -Give it a future time horizon -The bigger, the bolder, the better your vision should be of such a scale it scares the sh#t out of you. -Get your team to buy into your vision to drive it forward. -Your vision must inspire you and your customers - they need to want to be a part of it. -Take the time to review other companies vision statements when you are creating yours. If you have a vision and know what your plan is you are in a position to take action.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Your vision should be a bright mental image of where you want your business to be in the future’ ‘My vision must cast shade beyond the shores of Northern Ireland’ ‘Those who create a vision will be those who move with the opportunities’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website  Mindvalley The Code of the Extraordinary Mind    ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Is The System Rigged Against Women?

Gavan wants to make sure that his daughter is able to rise up and make her mark on the world and have the same opportunities as everyone else to achieve whatever she wants to. If you want to create a great business with great followers and be a great leader you have to be able to embrace, empower and inspire everyone. But currently, there are not equal opportunities for all in life and in this episode, Gavan reflects on the inequality and additional challenges faced by women in life and how we can all make a contribution to making a change.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Women face all sorts of hurdles to achieve success in life and business. It’s not possible for men to comprehend the additional hurdles faced by women. There is continued male domination in most of the levers of power across society. Women are just as good or even better leaders than men. More diversity will lead to a more fulfilled life. What you put into the world is what you get back. An openness to embrace and empower from every class, gender, race and creed are critical to being a great leader and creating great teams. If you want to create a great business with great followers you need to be able to inspire them all. Every one of us can make a contribution and make a difference.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I want my mini-me to take on and change the world forever’ ‘If you want to be a great leader you have to be able to inspire everyone’ ‘Women aren’t even close to getting the proper crack’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

How to Build Your Personal Brand

In the first of the new format of monthly episodes for ‘The Speed Mentor,’ Gavan explains why you need to make developing your personal brand your priority. Getting yourself visible on social media will transform your opportunities and you need to do this with a strong personal brand. Gavan shares great content about how to develop your own voice and identity and find your tribe and in doing so be one of those who are getting out in front of the rest with a personal brand that will make the difference.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Developing your personal brand and making it your priority is key. Your personal brand is the digital footprint that follows you everywhere. People buy from people so as a storyteller let people know about your story. You need to be clear about your goals and what makes you different. Work out what you want to say and what your message is before you start posting. Create a podcast so others can get to know you and you can build credibility. Always strive to provide great value and content for others Choose 2 platforms to work across intensively. 60/20/20 - 60% core message and your story, 20% goofing about and 20% topical. The stuff that you do outside of work or on the edges of your work show who you are and what you are interested in. Engage with those in your tribe and encourage them to share about themselves. Share your stories, everyone has these and sharing them will help your audience get to know you. Commit fully to the number of posts you will complete in a certain amount of time. Keep it positive but don’t be afraid to throw in a little vulnerability. Use your social media as an accountability partner, this will make sure you commit and follow through.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The evidence is piling up about how important personal brand is’ ‘Sprinkle little personal nuggets across your LinkedIn and see your tribe growing’ ‘Don’t leave it and be one of the fools who doesn’t have a personal brand’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Never Settle, Keep Making Changes To Stay Uncomfortable

What auditing are you doing in your life? In this era-defining podcast, Gavan shares the changes he is making after auditing his life and why those changes need to happen in order for him to reach the goals he has set out to achieve, creating billions in wealth for Northern Ireland through The Change In this heartfelt episode, he details those changes and why he needs to be completely focused in the coming year to achieve the goals he has set. Gavan is getting ready to scale the next peak on the journey to creating a legacy, the question is ‘what are you doing towards your legacy?’   KEY TAKEAWAYS The ultimate proof point I strive for is that every single one of us can achieve. I believe it’s important for a legacy to be able to evidence becoming the number 1 entrepreneur in Northern Ireland’s history. If I achieve 10 million in value in 10 years I will have achieved what I set out to do. If I can achieve this as an ordinary person then everyone will be able to see it’s also achievable for them. Auditing your life is an important part of working out what you need to change to make sure you achieve your goals I need to be working at my peak performance level to achieve what I’ve set out to achieve. If you follow and apply the advice in the last 160+ episodes it’s easy to get into the top 1% of wealth earners in the country. I believe the audience - the number of people who believe my message of hope and achievement will be even greater if I can achieve 10 million in value Being willing to expose yourself to failure is an important part of the journey After these sacrifices have been made my ultimate goal is to live a life of philanthropic giving.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I so badly want everyone to be fulfilled and successful at whatever you do’ ‘I want to create billions of wealth for Northern Ireland, not for myself’ ‘I want to prove your faith in me and to do that I need to be focused an inch wide and 1-mile f#cking deep for a significant amount of time’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Banish The Scarcity Mindset Forever!

If you had the secret of making money would you keep it to yourself? This episode is about an ugly idea, a dark mindset that creeps into the mind of some individuals - the scarcity mindset and as someone who is an abundance type of person Gavan puts the record straight and explains not only the concept of a scarcity mindset but how those who have one are missing out. Our modern-day society is built upon the concept of sharing because when we share knowledge we learn from each other and can move forward, so make the move to abundance and help banish the scarcity mindset forever.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are very few ideas that are original and can’t be copied If you know how to lead a happy and successful life, sharing it with others doesn’t make your life less. If people help each other out everyone can move forward. When you share you can create innovation. Modern society is built on the premise of sharing knowledge to move forward. A scarcity mindset is about not doing something because someone else is already doing it but what if you could do it better or put a twist on it, or it could be that there is room in the market for others and you. The wealth, value and love in the world is not a fixed asset we are ingenious creatures and create more of these assets all the time. One of the most insidious forms of a scarcity mindset is the ‘I know everything mindset’ These people are not interested in learning from others – they think that they know everything and anything they don’t know isn’t worth knowing. Most people are in the middle but this means you could miss out on celebrating other’s success, finding out how they did it and learning from that person.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m totally an abundance kind of guy but most people are in the middle’ ‘Scarcity is for the fools and you need to get into the abundance mindset’ ‘I give away what I have learned because I enjoy other people achieving abundance’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The First Pillar of Successful Marketing

Gavan shares the most important element of successful marketing, always committing to a 5-10% spend on it. It can be easy when things get tough to cut the spend on marketing and this is a path many businesses take but it’s the wrong way to go if you want to make it out the other side and ultimately grow. The vast majority of businesses fail because they run out of cash and this is because they are not marketing themselves properly. Marketing is everything in any company and Gavan explains why it has the ultimate position – number 1, with more importance to any company than even sales because without the marketing there won’t be the opportunities for sales. Understand why and how to spend 5-10% consistently and achieve more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Set aside 5-10% of total revenue for marketing. The opportunity for those who grasp it is huge. Ray Kroc – the godfather of fast food built the beast that is McDonald’s on the back of marketing spend bolted on to a franchise network. You won’t get the momentum you need for a business unless you spend on marketing. Marketing is more important than sales. There are many businesses that have back to front spending. With salespeople who don’t have the right tools, messages or marketing around them to be successful. If you don’t have a huge amount to spend when starting out you need to be all over social media marketing. Social media is a friend to every business but you need to be aware it can also be a silent killer making you think you don’t need to do any other sort of marketing. Use social media to create a strong tribe but understand the free and organic can only get you so far. The opportunity to grab market share across businesses has never been greater Many businesses will be going out of business and the opportunity is there for others to acquire their customers so it may as well be you if you’ve spent your money on marketing   BEST MOMENTS ‘You must embrace the 10-15% if you want your business to succeed’ ‘Have you got the balls to commit the 5-10% to marketing?’ ‘People cut the marketing budget when things get challenging but if you want to get through you need to market more’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Want To Be The Next Elon Musk? - Start Thinking Like a Rockstar!

Gavan explains why releasing your inner Rockstar can be the key to engaging with people emotionally. When your senior leadership team is the band and your employees are your followers you can be the Rockstar bringing great value and leadership to your business. As someone who tries to bring love, laughter and empathy Gavan knows the importance of being a showman and understanding there is no single way to create and be successful everyone has their own unique Rockstar, you just need to let it out and move on up to the next level.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you can engage with people emotionally then it’s possible to move up to the next level. Being entertaining is hugely important when you are trying to inspire others and make people feel good about themselves. If people feel positive about themselves they are more likely to get out of their comfort zone and achieve more. There is no single way to create and be successful. The really successful people don’t follow anyone else, they have their own way with courage and are followed by those who live their lives in the prism of someone else’s courage. Treat your piece of the world like your own stage and your senior team as your band. With your crowd those who you give value to as you strut your stuff and do your business. Successful people are like Rockstars, they come in all shapes and sizes and the music is very different depending on the business genre. When you think of yourself as more of a performer it will help you to elevate your production. If you knew your output would be viewed by 100,000 people how much effort would you be putting into your craft?   BEST MOMENTS ‘As soon as he swaggered on to the stage in a white suit I thought this is one cool mother f#cker’ ‘Like the Rockstars of the world successful people in business come in all shapes and sizes’ ‘Which of the great performers are you? what is your game face?’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Gavan's Culture Talks Interview with Core Impact pt 2

This is the second part of the interview where John Paul Taggart and Sean Grant from the ‘Culture Talks’ show discuss with Gavan his own journey and how he has built the Wall Group. They focus in detail on how every entrepreneur should be building a business that will enable them to step away. To do this you have to have a great leadership team, the right culture and people who understand the vision and goals. Gavan explains how creating a leadership team that can move forward and be aspirational will make any entrepreneurial journey more satisfying and great advice on how to achieve this in any organisation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not just about bringing in managers for the sake of managers you have to look at your own skillset when you are building a management team. Don’t just go through the hiring process always look within your business first for any potential. When you are in a position where you are delegating then it is important to measure how things are going and put in place Key Performance Indicators. Tracking customer experience, staff performance and spend are all vital elements when growing a business. When you grow a team and showcase them there is always the possibility they will be poached but taking an approach of not showcasing and celebrating the talent you have will also potentially lead those people to look elsewhere to advance their careers. If people come into the business but don’t understand what you want to achieve, the goals, the vision then they don’t know what’s expected of them. There must be real-time reviews so people know what they are achieving and why. Every entrepreneur should be looking at how they can step back and remove themselves from the business. If you build the culture, build the people and give them the aspiration then your entrepreneurial journey will be much more satisfying.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Think about what is missing in your business’ ‘It shows what sort of leader you are if you can take a step back from your business’ ‘Showcasing people within the business attracted other new talent – who wanted to work for a company who celebrated the skills of the people within the organisation’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   Culture Talks Episode 8 YouTube Culture Talks Episode 9 YouTube Developing Young People Core Impact Website Sean Grant LinkedIn John  Paul Taggart LinkedIn   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Gavan's Culture Talks Interview with Core Impact Part 1

Gavan is being interviewed by John Paul Taggart and Sean Grant on their show, Culture Talks. They discuss what leadership really is and why building something for the future every day can be the key to lifelong fulfilment. The journey in business is never linear and this is a great opportunity to hear about some of the challenges that have to be faced and what a positive driver the right culture is, in any business. Having been mentees of Gavan, Sean and John Paul have some great questions about inspiration, leadership and building a plan for succession and the answers don’t disappoint.   KEY TAKEAWAYS                                                                                 As a barrister, there is a limit to what you can achieve and I wanted to achieve more and leave a legacy. The fun is always in the building and when it gets to a stage where it’s just maintaining I’m bored with it. I wanted to spend my life building something – with both its highs and lows. When I started in business there was a bullying culture and it was the first thing I had to face and deal with. One person can keep everyone else down in a bullying culture We took on stores that had been through some sort of trauma – no culture, absent management. Everyone is different. Contentment for one person will not be contentment for another and not everyone is looking for inspiration. Whatever people choose to do if it brings them happiness and contentment then it is right for them. If you can inspire someone to be more than they thought they could be then you are a true leader Having identified that I needed to build a management team the challenge was to attract and recruit the best managers. I needed people who were self-motivated and liked mentorship as an approach rather than to be managed.   BEST MOMENTS ‘My approach is if you do the right thing and bring it every day you can help people’ ‘I’m stronger on the aspirational aspects of management’ ‘When I peeled back the layers I found great people’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   Culture Talks Episode 8 YouTube Culture Talks Episode 9 YouTube Developing Young People Core Impact Website Sean Grant LinkedIn John  Paul Taggart LinkedIn   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Doing Business With A Greater Purpose To Succeed

Gavan is in full voice as he shares the point most of us are missing about purpose and most importantly how we can put it right and move up to the next level. Purpose must be about looking up, out and beyond – you have to have a purpose that is bigger than you. A purpose that can lead you and is woven throughout everything you do. When purpose is truly embedded in you it pushes you and lifts you to the next level because the truth of it is ‘What’s the point if there isn’t a purpose?’   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you break your life down into tiny segments you can’t have a vision, there is no bigger picture. You are not leading your life with a vision. You have to have a purpose that is bigger than you and if you are only thinking about you how are you ever going to have a purpose bigger than you? Purpose should not be a bolt-on it should be an integral part, the core, the essence of what you do. Are you leading your life with corporate and social responsibility? It shouldn’t be a bolt-on, you should be going the extra mile every day. When you are doing business with a purpose that is bigger than you it is easy to see how that purpose helps with whatever you are producing. When purpose is embedded within you it pushes you to move up to the next level. What is the point if there isn’t a purpose? When purpose is woven within your business goals they become much more powerful.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The life we all have is a life of beauty and you get out of it what you put in’ ‘I f#cking stuck my head on the block financially and emotionally because they are part of my purpose’ ‘If you are thinking only about you how is it ever going to get any bigger than you?’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Room 101 For All The Lockdown Sayings You Can't Stand

In this entertaining episode Gavan gets to grip with the lockdown sayings we’ve all become so familiar with but what purpose are they serving and should we really be marching them off to room 101? Herd immunity, stay alert and flattening the curve along with #WFH and Covidiot have all become a part of our vernacular but what do they really mean and will we still be using them in the future? Listen in and decide if you agree with Gavan.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Herd immunity -  It works when there is a vaccine or appropriate safety measures in place, but unfortunately, none of the other constituents of a controlled herd immunity were deployed! Quentin quarantino – amateur short videos, mostly on tik tok, that people are now saying are amusing, they are not and if you are an adult you should get off tik tok now! Covidiot – someone ignoring government advice. There is a certain percentage of the population who will always be idiots with or without Covid19! Stay Alert – Unbelievably people were paid money to come up with this slogan! #WFH – pandemic and technology means large numbers of us are now working from home is this a change we can grow and sustain? Flattening the curve – Now there are now 60 million experts on flattening the curve, have we seen the death of experts?   Self-isolation, social distancing – will these words fade from our vocabulary in time? The elephant in the zoom – the moment you spot something in someone’s zoom that shouldn’t be there, how will this go as we continue our skills with virtual interaction?   BEST MOMENTS ‘We didn’t go for herd immunity we did the equivalent of penning gazelles in the Serengeti and then tossed in the hungry lions’ ‘The elephant in the zoom is a thing of beauty’ ‘This is a change that can potentially bring great opportunities for everyone’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Three Birthdays

In this episode, on the night of his 50th birthday, Gavan reflects on birthday celebrations, or not, that have marked his progress through life. It can be easy to have huge expectations for significant birthdays but is this what its really all about? Gavan’s birthday hasn’t turned out how he expected it too but because of how he feels about life now and his capacity to look for the positives this time it’s all about the reset and a little reflection about the journey to get to this point.   KEY TAKEAWAYS I remember my 21st birthday because I didn’t tell anyone – no one knew about it. On my 25th birthday I was so out of it I fell asleep in the toilets of the restaurant and then set off the alarms when I woke and tried to leave. It culminated with me shouting at the police from inside ‘don’t shoot I’m a trainee solicitor! Despite well-laid plans to spend my 40th birthday in New York with my wife the reality of being an entrepreneur saw me flying to America on my on to complete essential training to progress the business. My 50th birthday was to be a perfect celebration, I’m happier than I’ve ever been but it didn’t quite work out again but for this birthday I can happily reset and celebrate tomorrow. After everything I’ve gone through in life, there is nothing like finding a positive in a negative situation. However, small the positive it can be enough to keep you moving forward. No matter what happens, no matter who you are meant to be or who you are meant to be with, when something goes awry you can always find a positive.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I like being the one at other’s birthday parties without the responsibility of being the host’ ‘He couldn’t believe that I hadn’t told anyone and thought I’d deprived others because there could have been a big celebration for everyone to enjoy’ ‘I will reset and I will celebrate my birthday tomorrow’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

No Better Time To Audit Your Life

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the day to day and lose sight of the long-term goals so doing a regular audit of your business and life is a great way to get back in alignment with your goals and stay on track for success. Gavan reflects that taking the time to analyse where you are in your journey, your alignment to your goals, whether you are enjoying it and the impact on you of those on the journey with you are what creates an audit that makes a real difference. We all get out of alignment and a framework for what we are working towards is the key if we want to be more and really hit the highs.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Doing a full audit on your life and goals should be done at least twice a year because it’s easy to become misaligned in your life. Part 1- It all needs to be aligned Where do you want to be in 3 years, 5 years? what are your goals? Use a traffic light system to grade your weeks’ activities getting rid of anything that doesn’t add value. Part 2 – You need to enjoy it Every entrepreneurial journey will have some sort of sh#t you don’t want to do Set the short term, medium-term and long-term goals that will give you an appreciation of the process the journey itself You have to create a framework for what you are working towards Part 3 – who is on the journey with you? You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Look closely at who you are spending your time with You need to find people who are aligned with your aspirations You’ll come up with answers that will surprise you but an audit will help you find your true path and success.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Every entrepreneurial journey will have some sort of sh#t you don’t want to do’ ‘Analyse what you are doing to see if it is aligned with your goals’ ‘We want to be more and hit the highs’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

It's The Biggest Trending Hashtag But What Does WFH Mean For You

The tectonic plates in business have altered and people are currently WFH but should this continue? Is your business on the right track to take advantage of the opportunities that are coming? If you are an employer what does WFH mean for you and what will it mean for your employees? Gavan looks at whether WFH will become the new norm and what every business needs to think about and focus on if they want to make it work. He reviews the positives, possibilities and the potential challenges moving forward. One thing is sure, things are not ever going to be the same because the world has moved online, the question is, are you ready to take advantage of the opportunities that are coming?   KEY TAKEAWAYS The new normal is working from home (WFH) but can it work for you? Mindset – increased isolation could lead to depression which will be easier to mask during virtual meetings. Mental well-being will be key. Company culture – how tough will it be to develop this when people are in their own homes, will a blended approach will be the best approach? Flexibility – there will be increased demand and some desires will be aligned for both employers and employees. If you want to work from home you need to be able to deliver. Property costs – over time commercial property maybe repurposed. Commute – not doing the daily commute would be positive but people need to use the reclaimed time to do something productive. Childcare  - It could be worth using space for a creche to encourage employees back into the workplace. Learning – keep a record of your learning from this unusual time. Everyone has a responsibility to take the good things forward. The world is your business opportunity – the world has moved online so opportunities are truly global. Hacks and tips – eat the frog first every day, be productive, set daily goals, produce but don’t consume too much, be grateful for everything you have in your life.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Maintaining a good company culture will be more challenging but vital for cohesion and success’ ‘How productive have you been? What have you achieved?’ ‘Those who adapt, are those who will be the winners’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.   But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Even Mother Theresa Got Trolled, Don't Let Them Stop You Producing Content

As we navigate our way through a very different world you have the opportunity to share your message globally with more people than ever, don’t procrastinate get out there and get started now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS This is an opportunity to make a difference from your own home, explode your reach and your message at this time. People are worried about criticism during these times but everyone is unique and has something special to bring the world. You may be afraid the of the trolls, and the gas lighters but you must get your message out there. We all have quirks and this is what makes us special. These things are the things that make you unique,  have the fortitude to own who you are - it is what will make you successful. Sharing your quirks shouldn’t be the main part of your content but amongst the main message, this is what makes you stand out. You need to have the ability to post your own truth, the fear of criticism means people change and post what they think others want to hear but people like those who speak their own truth – this is what will resonate with others. Just get on with it, the trolls and gas lighters will always come when you are making a difference. You cannot let the fear of what others might say stop you from being you.

Forget The Pity Party, Time to Think Strategically in The Crisis

Gavan is looking at the long term and discussing what he is doing with one of his businesses ‘The Change’. He shares what they are working on with their founders and explains why it’s important to only take enough time to blink before then being prepared to get on with it in a crisis.  As venture catalysts then venture capitalists, bringing a transformational agreement that identifies the gaps, ‘The Change’ are continuing to develop strategy, and business plans along with personal development and mentorship so their start-ups are ready. This is the beginning and those entrepreneurs who have a long-term vision, motivation, ingenuity and can add value are going to be the most successful in the future will you be one of them?   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your pity party maybe a few days or a few weeks but the quicker you get it over and done with the quicker you can move on. How quickly you can pivot will depend on where you are on your journey and your experience of dealing with problems, how quickly can you respond to the situation? Whether you are an employee or employer we all need to get through this together. Make sure you establish and maintain routines that involve connecting with everyone. This is a money-free world so what can you do that sets you apart? If the only struggle you are working on is your own struggle then you won’t be providing enough towards the collective good. Your triumph will be in helping others and you must look outward not inwards. It’s easy to win when the times are good but now is the time to be a wartime general. I’m looking at the next ten years as my horizon and you should too. This is the beginning of a new ten-year run and those who can add value and work with ingenuity will have the greatest advantage. Mindset, motivation massive action have never been more important. It’s a great time to start a business. It’s time for entrepreneurs to rise up and take up the opportunities.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We started analysing all our investees to see if they could offer the solutions needed in the coming months and years’ ‘We are proactively trying to get ahead of what’s going on’ ‘What we do away from the cash is what we believe sets us apart and makes us special’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.   But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Rise Up & Seize The Opportunities Of These Desperate Times - We Need Leaders!

Gavan takes a look at the opportunities and how you can stand up and seize them as a leader in these unusual times. You cannot as a business do nothing and there are already leaders shining through with their content and connection. As an unprecedented number of us access social media this is an opportunity, like no other, to provide content that makes us laugh, cry and learn something new. Join the leaders, get creative and in your niche provide the content that connects people because ultimately it’s the leaders who will be the winners.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Rather than focus on the fear try and put this aside and focus on your mindset, on being a leader. More people than ever before are on social media and watching TV, there is a captive audience. This is your moment; this is your opportunity people are crying out for content. Take advantage of the eyeballs that are out there ask yourself what are you doing? You can’t go out but you can get creative and be a leader. We are going to come out of this at some point and the winners will be those who made us laugh, cry and educated us through their content during this unusual time. The way we interact has changed forever. You can’t stop doing everything and hope your business will come out the other side. It will be those that provide content during the lockdown will be those who will come successfully out the other side. You can choose to be a leader in your niche continuing to offer content in creative ways to connect with others.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Get the f#ck off your Facebook and look at the opportunities’ ‘Never in the history of mankind has an opportunity like this arise’ ‘It’s a captive audience’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   Aaron Watson LinkedIn Gemma Orton LinkedIn   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.   But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

It's The Black Swan That No-one Predicted

The 2020 Corona crisis is an unprecedented situation on a scale that Gavan and the rest of us have never seen before – a Black Swan event – rare, with immense purity and unprecedented in the severity of its impact. Gavan looks at the different categories of people and their responses and shares his advice about what any entrepreneur should be doing right now – fighting, because hard work and perseverance are what makes the difference.   This is a black swan event of huge purity - an unpredictable event that is beyond what is expected and is as severe in its impact as it is in its rarity. Make a plan, set goals and focus on working towards those goals because collectively we can get out to the other side.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Different categories of people are becoming more defined as we navigate our way through the corona crisis Young people who do not recognise that every action has a reaction or consequence. The ‘Y’ generation who are experiencing the brutality of life for the first time. The mid-life group who’ve seen this shit before and are sanguine – they do what they are asked to do but see themselves on the other side. The boomers, consisting of those who’ve self-isolated and those who argue the war didn’t stop them so neither will COVID19. The politicians have been too slow in understanding the economic impact and the importance of developing an antibody test. It’s this test that will be the way out. Your business may need to adapt, you might need to market differently and pivot your services and products. Every difficult business decision that will be faced in the next few weeks. We are all in this together and people will understand if you deal with them fairly and openly.   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s easy to be a good person when you are winning but much harder when you are losing. ‘Be gentle and caring with others, you don’t know what they are going through’ ‘The societal impact will be far greater long term and we need to be calm and keep an overview of the whole picture’ ‘There are the midlife group, like me, who’ve seen this shit before’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.   But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Gavan asked his listeners and supporters to share why Northern Ireland is the best place on Earth, listen in and romp through what they said in this episode packed with positivity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We used to be a punching ring in the nineties but in just 2 decades we have turned it around and now at weekends people from all over the world enjoy happy and safe evenings out.

How to Guarantee 100k Income Per Year in 12mths!

Buckle up and get ready as Gavan shares the 10 points you need to get covered if you want to earn 100k per year. You have to have certainty and the belief in yourself to come back from the challenges you will face but this mindset and choosing an industry where there is no setup finance required along with an understanding and total commitment to working at least 70 hours per week for 3 years are what’s required. If you can do this, you can earn 100k per year, listen in and get started on your journey!   KEY TAKEAWAYS Look at the marketplace you are going into – is it a red ocean or blue ocean market? Look at the bestin the industry currently, they will be making more than 100k per year What do they do that their competitors don’t? Look at the worstwhat is it they are doing? Comparing the best and worst will make it very clear what you have to do. Get close to the bestin the industry   - what can you help them with? And what can you learn from them? Market yourself– you need to make sure people know you are there, most businesses fail because no one knows they exist. Market yourself and your business at every opportunity.

So I went off Social Media for 1mth. Maybe You Should Do The Same!

For the first time in five years, Gavan took a step back from social media for an entire month! But how did it go? Gavan’s here to talk about his experience, how it’s affected his outlook on the world, the top ten tips around how you can do it for yourselves, and the lessons that we can all collectively learn in order to better ourselves by taking that break.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It may sound crazy, but taking a break from social media is as important a part of your social output as creating the content! If you’re constantly posting, then taking a break is a way to revitalise interest. Make sure you take a break for the right reasons. If you’re taking a break to regroup or work on something in the real world, then great! It’ll make you stronger. If you’re taking a break, make a clear statement to that effect. Remember not to make it a self-pitying declaration, but a simple, brief and positive farewell, with a promise that you’ll be back soon. If you’re going away to work on something big, then make sure you tell people that’s what you’re doing. Start the hype now! Start that breadcrumb trail now! Commit to it 100%! When you’re on social media, make sure you’re having an impact. If you’re taking a break then commit to it and use the time to its full potential. Why not devote yourself to something SO big, that you have no choice but to leave social media for a while? Dream big, think big, and create like crazy! If you’re not on social media, then swap something into its place in your life. Meditation is a great way of reconnecting with your mind and your senses. Let’s get the creativity flowing. Make a podcast. Write something. Play a song. Engage! Get out there and do something to add to the positivity we all need right now. If you’re spread across several different types of social media, think hard about how they’re returning value to you. Double down on the ones that are the most valuable to you and think about cutting the others loose.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Podcasting is like a traditional wireless’ ‘Producers win and consumers lose’ ‘I’m not trying to create a successful business. I’m trying to change the f**king world!’ ‘I hope your granny’s bunions are okay’ ’Some of you lot are half-in, half-out like the Hokey-Cokey’ ‘Go big or go home!’ ’Success in life comes from doing something properly' ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast. Do you want success and abundance in your life?! Do you want to hear how to achieve it? Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success. After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash. But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring. He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures. If you listen, you can avoid the potholes and learn to conquer your fear and live a life of success and abundance just like him. But be warned, his message can be stark and will not be for those seeking shortcuts. If you’re wanting to be told that the law of attraction will deliver success wrapped in a bow to your front door, then this Podcast isn’t for you, as that’s never going to happen! It’s time to own your own sh#t, never blame others and take the massive action to create the attraction. The opportunities and white space are everywhere.

You Can Have it All, A Family And A Stellar Career

Gavan is channelling a little of the spirit of Castro today, as he delivers his latest address on the subject of that place in which we all eventually end up: the future! As entrepreneurs, we are trying to create something wonderful and eternal, to act as our legacies to the world, and to our families. But what’s the point, if we can’t spend our present in the company of those families? In today’s show, Gavan shares with you the ways in which he overcomes these periods of overwork in order to spend more time with those precious children in our lives. There might even be a certain Robert Miles song that fits the occasion... KEY TAKEAWAYS Parenthood is about so much more than time with your kids. Time is the currency that so many attach to the art of parenting, but they’re wrong. How do you treat your kids? Are your children getting the love they need? These things are more important than spending that currency of “time”. Use extra-curricular time wisely, and choose activities that will light your kids up!  An evening meal together can bring the many different worlds in your family together. Couple this with gratitude, and each mealtime can turn into a get-to-know you session. Get your kids into a great routing around playtime, work and sleep. If you don’t show them the value of routine, it’ll lead to a lack of success later on. Diets are so important. Make sure you fill your children with the best you can get. Nutrients lead to better physical health, which leads to satisfaction and happiness. Show your children what success and personal fulfilment mean. Impress upon them, that hard work leads to satisfaction. Family time is far better when there aren’t any screens to distract you. Give yourself completely to them, but expect the same treatment in return.   BEST MOMENTS ’The impact he had was unreal’ ‘In my humble opinion, that’s a totally faux argument’ ‘I can’t believe I’m saying this, but do you pray together?’ ’The hard work I’ve done has left me even STRONGER than Helen!’ ‘Good parenthood is about so much more than time' ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

The Man In The Mirror Is Set Free!

‘I f-ing love myself and you should love yourself too’ Gavan asks if when you really look in the mirror ‘are you living your truth or someone else’s life? Increasingly in the world of social media people present a persona which may not reflect their true self – it’s what they think others want to see but it’s important to be authentic and true to yourself. Now one else but you can do the work needed to be the person you are proud of when you look in the mirror but the work required is woven throughout every episode of the speed mentor podcast, listen in and find out more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many people in society who transmit a different persona to the outside world to the one on the inside, they are living a lie. This creates misery within the person and for those around them - It’s a recipe for disaster. The answer to this misery lies in the ability to be more open about your life, feelings along with your wins and failures. It’s vital we have permission to be more transparent and authentic and are not judged by ourselves or others. We must show the authentic part of ourselves to the world. If you want to have the success you are capable of and want to have a contented life where you love yourself and have a positive impact on those around you being the catalyst for change you must love yourself. If you look in the mirror and you don’t like the person you see, only you can do the hard work to get yourself to a point where you like the person staring back at you. You can only love yourself if you are leading an authentic life and telling the truth to everyone and most importantly to yourself. Only you can make the change that enables you to linger in front of the mirror, look in the mirror or look away only you can choose.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If I hadn’t lost everything in the property crash I might not have become my true authentic self’ ‘It was me peacocking because I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin’ ‘Go and look at yourself in the mirror – not to see your dimples and crimples but to look into your soul’ ‘Are you living your truth or someone else’s life?’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.   But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Fire Meets Speed! Pt2 of The Deep Dive

Welcome back! In todays conclusion of last weeks fantastic deep dive, Pete and Gavan talks us through his transition from law to property to his new project of venture capitals as well as talking us through some of his personal struggles with the economic crash in 2007 and how he took himself from losing everything to being the success he is today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Q. Whilst you were working in law  did you still continue your side hustles? A. I was up to 50 houses, what happened was in 2006, I had gone from double-digit yields to getting outbid all the time by people who had never been in property before and I could not face giving up the business side. My mistake was saying, I need to get into the chain earlier, to feed properties to these people so I bought four bits of land and I got my planning through but I made a few mistakes, signed personal guarantee and 14-day demand loans. My wife somehow ended up as a guarantor on one of them! That land lost 90% of its value and one of the local banks served me with a demand notice, so I then lost everything including my family home. Q. How has your parenting style changed over the years? A. My parenting style is based on looking back on mine. My Dad was so old school he wasn’t very touchy-feely or anything like that so you kind of fill the void. I work really hard so I might not have as much time as some others, but I work on that time and the love and connectedness is really important to me. I was to be able to have the social capital to see if they are going off the rails and be able to have a conversation with them and they will listen and I can help them. Whereas I would say my Dad didn’t have that social capital with me because that bond hadn’t been built to be able to help me when I needed it. Q.  What would it mean, someone saying you’ve got something you shouldn’t have? A. I don’t really know, I’ve got something about it. My wife sometimes talks about doing the lottery, and I say to her “you can’t do that, what if we won?” because then that would ruin the whole thing, somebody would be able to say we had it easy. Whenever we used to drive to school in my Dad’s car, there were only two of these cars in Northern Ireland and in one way it was lovely and in another way it was too much. I want to be able to say, everything that I have created with the support of my wife and my family has been created by us rather than come from someone else. Q. You come across as quite kinesthetic? Wanting to feel that that success is yours? A. That maybe comes from all the stuff I was discussing before my Dad. If I make a mess, I will be the first person to put my hands up and say “I’ve made a mess” and the way that you fail, people take shortcuts when they’re starting to fail. The way that you fail is important to how you’ll come back. Q. You mention being lucky, with your wife and kids. Where does luck come in it for you? A. Comparison is the thief of joy, but I say that because I know that I met her at the right time. I do the work just in time, to help myself. I use the word blessed maybe sometimes rather than luck. It is probably not luck, I do push away the success a bit sometimes. I don’t like people thinking that I think that I haven’t achieved it on my own. I feel blessed. Q. What drives you day today? A. The goal is to have an impact worldwide, the goal is to be the most successful entrepreneur in Northern Ireland. What is success? Success is the ability to be able to make a difference to other people. I am not money-driven, I took my first ever holiday for ten days last year. When I was a barrister I used to go on nice expensive holidays and drive a Porsche, now I drive an electric car and I am happy with that. I don’t go on flash holidays or spend lots of money, the difference is being able to make a difference, the ability to say I have helped the ecosystem in Northern Ireland. I wasn't Northern Ireland to be backed like it was in the industrial revolution. I want to help Northern Ireland get back to that, and I want to have a massive funeral. I want to have made an impact on so many people and to have changed Northern Ireland for the better. Q. Are you at your potential do you think? A. No, there is loads more potential. I actually had imposter syndrome for the first time ever at the tail end of 2019. There is new stuff that was done with venture capital that is so outside of my comfort zone. The amount of stuff that I have learned over the last year from startups and from other people that I am meeting and you’re going into those sessions, and you’re soaking it up like a sponge because you’re being exposed to new ideas about how you look at a business cycle or business plan. In terms of potential, the look was trying to raise ten million pounds for the change, and create ten billion from that and I am not that far in my journey in comparison to what we are trying to achieve, so loads more to come. Q. Do you see yourself retiring? A. No, I will die in the middle of a deal! The best deal ever. I was thinking about all the things I have done since I turned 45 for the first time, definitely not retiring no way. I’ve done a lot of heavy lifting, and I will tell you my theory and it was a moment of clarity “it is all about creating value, with the power of the mind”. That's true. The lifting that you do with your mind created more value than the physical stuff you do out there in the world. Q. When are you at your best? What is your peak performance? A. At the minute, it is a little bit crimped. I do love trying to show other people what they can achieve, but the intensity of what they were doing at the minute because it's all so new to me, meaning I am not at my best. It is coming back a little bit better, but at the minute I am not at my best because of the workload we have to find all these startups and investments to get the FCA compliance. So all of that and the intensity to deliver that is a pretty heavy burden at the minute. Whenever we get over these hurdles and were up and running, the best of me will be back, but the ability to never give up and to dig in, that is a strong part of me. I like to show people a strong leadership and I’m not sure if I have enough of that in me at the moment because of the pressures. Q. What do you think people's perceptions of you are? A. I know what they say about me, “He thinks he is just going to walk into the venture capital startup world?” “He just walks in and that's the way that he does stuff, he just pivots out of something else and he is just a shopkeeper”. What they don’t really know is that maybe their perception of me but that is not really what I am like. So I am listening to less personal development stuff at the moment because I am listening to stuff about venture capital and about startups because I know that I don’t know it. I may be a bit of a peacock walking it but I am trying to learn because I want to learn it. The people that are throwing the darts at me probably haven't had as much success as they think they should’ve had because they’re not prepared to do the work that I am.      BEST MOMENTS “My rise and success wasn’t lucked” “To have made such a difference, those other people say ‘I want to make a difference’” “It is all about creating value, with the power of the mind” “You can’t expect to go into something new and be really good at it”   ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Fire Meets Speed! Pt1 Deep Dive

Welcome to this weeks Speed Mentor Podcast! In todays episode, Gavan Wall is interviewed by Pete Lonton on the Fire in The Belly Podcast! Gavan shares lessons learned from his own entrepreneurial journey and talks us through his childhood, school years, career and what lead him to where he is today. Tune in to hear advice and insights that can help you in business and in life. Make sure to listen in next week for the conclusion, where Gavan and Pete talk transitioning from Law to Property, Market Crashes and rising from the ashes! KEY TAKEAWAYS Q. Tell us a bit about yourself. A. I’m from Belfast, Northern Ireland with a background in law, I then went into business about 12 years ago and ever since then I have been working at trading businesses and mentoring hundreds of other business people across Northern Ireland trying to bring my blend of high energy and go-getting. I have a number of businesses employing over 130 people and the latest project is in venture capital. I am raising a ten million pound fund at the minute and we’re looking to turn that into ten billion pounds over ten years. Q. How was school for you? A. I look back on my school years and there's absolutely no doubt that I had ADHD. Even though I was one of the brightest in the class, they ended up putting me in the remedial class to control my behaviour. It is amazing how many people become entrepreneurs after they have that kind of stuff happen to them. I was bright but there were a lot of control issues. I was really good at maths and I found those things easy, but once I felt that I had mastered something I was bored. Q. Did you get up to do your GCSEs and A-Levels? A. Yes, I got to do O Levels and then on to do a degree in law. My dad was in law so it was always thought that I would go into his legal practice. Two of my three A levels I didn’t even do for A-Level, I picked them out of a hat. One of those was economics, which I really enjoyed. At sixteen I asked my parents if I could leave school because I felt my A-Levels wouldn’t go very well because I was not interested and I really wanted to go to business college and learn things that were of interest to me. I was also running businesses out of school, I got a sewing machine for Christmas and I started taking in peoples trousers for them. I think from about the age of eleven or twelve I was also asking for shares in the stock market for Christmas. Q. You said that it was thought you would join your Dad’s solicitors practice, that is very non-personal language used to describe that? A. Yes, it is, I have processed a whole lot of pain surrounding that. My life felt like it started at 27, my Dad in old school, he keeps himself to himself. He didn’t force me to do law but it felt like that was expected of me but I wanted to do business. I did 5 years of law and it wasn’t really my thing, two weeks before I qualified as a solicitor my Dad came home with some beers on board and told me “Son, you’ll be paddling your own canoe I am taking an early retirement”. That was two weeks before qualifying as a solicitor, I discovered I wouldn’t be going into my father's successful practice. Two weeks later I was probably the first and only unemployed solicitor in Northern Ireland. So the whole thing about me using impersonal language about that is because it took me a long time to get over that. Q. Did learning come easy for you? A. I am probably a quick learner, but I get bored very easily. I actually look back and wonder if I was afraid to pit myself against the top members of the class. Those guys were machines and they were working really hard from day one. I remember on day one we came in and we had to write an essay, and mine was the best in the class, and that was a high point of my education. Whether I thought that I couldn’t keep up with them, I loved to be able to say I was the best at doing no work but still getting the exams. I was definitely the best at that. Q. It is interesting that you already had a perception of yourself at that age? A. No matter what, I am a survivor. If I knew at that stage I wasn’t going to end up doing law, I would’ve gone and done business studies but I didn’t know that so I repeated my A-levels for three days. I knew how painful it had been (to not get the grades) the first time around. Q. Do you remember your parents' perception at the time? A. My mum is my harshest critic, but only because she cares. They set a high bar, and I remember when I got my results for my A-Levels my Dad said: “Your wee brother Ben would’ve done better” and my brother was 2 at the time. It was tough stuff. They knew what I had put into it, which was zero and I had done remarkably well considering that I put no effort into it. Q. Do you think the writing was on the wall from the beginning? A. I was working at various things, I was full time in the civil service and ultimately I realised I was different from everybody else there. About 20% of the people there carried the other 80%, but everybody complained about hating their jobs. All these changes were coming and I was really excited and nobody else was and at that moment I wanted to leave, what they were looking to get out of like was not what I was looking to get out of life.   BEST MOMENTS “I think from about the age of eleven or twelve I was also asking for shares in the stock market for Christmas” “I picked two of my three  A-Levels out of a hat” “Everything I’ve done I’ve done it for me”   ABOUT THE GUEST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Treat The Two Impostors (Triumph and Disaster) Just The Same

In this episode, Gavan explains the significance of  Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’ and the impact the line ‘if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same’ can have for anyone in business, on the journey from start-up to realising their goals. As the man trying to create a new Northern Ireland Gavan knows exactly what it takes to build a successful business and be the best you can, being able to not only survive but thrive is all about understanding how to respond to the highs and the lows, listen in and find out more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We all know success when we see it it’s the creation of a legacy that’s greater than you that others benefit from. We are here to be the best we can be, to up our game, to get more wealth and achieve more than average. Good family relationships and a happy life are the baselines for all of us. Dealing with the highs and lows of business To survive and thrive you’ve got to stay away from the extremes of either good or bad. On the start-up journey, there can be extreme positives, such as a cash investment and real negatives such as an investor pulling out at the last minute. The key to dealing effectively with both positive and negative scenarios is to identify your long-term goals. If you have embedded long term goals then highs and lows are just small steps forward or back on the journey to achieve your goals and the success you want. No single event will determine the outcome and every situation is a learning opportunity. Neither a good day nor a bad day will define you. Be considered and responsible in your response to failure.

Why Do I Sing And What Does It Mean For You

What have you got inside that you need to let out so it can find its place and its purpose?  Gavan is explaining why he enjoys singing and the importance of embracing your uniqueness as part of your very special superpowers.  You are only ever going to be average if you do the same as others so listening to how Gavan celebrates his uniqueness could help you to see the vital importance of being and doing you, not someone else or what you think that society thinks you should do.  This is an inspiring and entertaining episode that puts a spotlight on what is really important in life, listen in and be inspired.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  You might not realise but everything you say or do leaves an indication of who you are  Cynical people – are often those who think I’m pretending to be this bad at singing,  they are looking for an agenda in everything they see.  They take nothing at face value, everything and everyone is up to something  Those who take it for what it seems to be – the chief walrus singing and just larking about.  I see this group as the contented people – in reality, this is the optimum state of mind  There is a group who are smart -they don’t care what others think. When you release yourself from caring you can try new things you wouldn’t otherwise try and these are the things that make you unique.  They are your own superpowers but you hide them away because you are afraid of what others might think.  Embrace your uniqueness.  Let’s unite in our uniqueness because that’s our superpower, we are different you are only ever going to get average if you do what every other f#cker is doing.  The reason behind my singing on the podcasts is I don’t give a f#ck what people think, and it stands me in very good stead with everything I do.  I want people to like my material, to like me because I have a message of hope and opportunity and I want to share it with as many people as possible   When it comes to my singing I would like others to like it, but if they don’t, they don’t and that’s ok.  You do you, don’t do someone else, or don’t do who you think that society thinks you should do.     BEST MOMENTS  ‘It’s a miserable existence to be carrying that amount of suspicion about the rest of your fellow humans’  ‘What have you got inside that you need to let out so it can find its place and its purpose?’  ‘You have to find that thing and place for yourself’  ‘It was the genesis of my awareness, some people not being able to see the beauty in my singing’     VALUABLE RESOURCES   Speed Mentor Podcast  Gavan Wall website    Anchor App Credit to Cat Stevens -"Morning Has Broken"    ABOUT THE HOST   Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.   Do you want success and abundance in your life?!   Do you want to hear how to achieve it?   Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.   After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.    But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.   He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Could a Plant-Based Diet Supercharge Your Outcomes?

Fruit and vegetables – you are probably not eating enough; Gavan has gone from food carnivore to plant-based vegan and in this episode reflects on the change and shares the reasons why he decided to make this change to his diet.  Gavan is someone who has a very restrictive pallet when it comes to new foods, only having rice and pasta for the first time when he was at university. The plant-based challenge began when Gavan really started looking at packets of ham! The gunk that is processed ham led Gavan to the decision that in order to change the diet of his family he had to be a human guinea pig and lead by example.  Listen in and find out all about the journey.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  I started with meat-free Mondays – I didn’t even know it was a thing!  I never ever thought I’d go completely meat-free – especially since I have such a narrow taste palette.  The intensive farming and concerns about the planet were also factors that were beginning to bother me.  I crafted an idea that if I could evidence a different type of diet – with very little processed food and lead by example, being a human guinea pig, it would impact on my family and ultimately change what they choose to eat.  I did zero research – You must take a B12 supplement if you are eating a plant-based diet.  You need to also take vitamin D whatever your diet due to the lack of sunlight, particularly in the winter months.  After it almost broke me, but then came a rainbow as leading by example finally worked with my middle child planning family meals throughout January on our brand-new calendar with meat-free Mondays!  Remember;  Giving up meat is far easier than giving up dairy  Get out of your own way and take supplements  Everyone should try meat-free Mondays or go vegan for a while; you’ll learn lots about your diet and what you eat  Eating vegan food doesn’t mean you are not eating processed food  Try and test lots of different foods  Chart your journey on Instagram  Trying different things is good for your soul, health and wealth  It’s good to test yourself  - I love testing  myself and my capacity to not give up on something I’ve started.  Most people lose weight on a plant-based diet  Why not get out there and give it a try.     BEST MOMENTS  I dug deep and really went through some sh#tty stuff and then the rainbow -when they chose to make the change’  ‘I almost cracked over the Christmas ham because my mum makes the best ham and I couldn’t have any’  ‘6 months in and I hadn’t had any impact on my kid’s diets’      VALUABLE RESOURCES   Speed Mentor Podcast  Gavan Wall website      ABOUT THE HOST   Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.   Do you want success and abundance in your life?!   Do you want to hear how to achieve it?   Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.   After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.    But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.   He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

So WWIII Is Heading Our Way, Here's What To Do!

‘I’m trying to help you turbocharge your success ‘ The world’s only speed mentor is back and looking at how he was previously and how he is now - he’s moved from consumer to producer and its helped him move up to the next level. In previous years Gavan was a consumer of all news and he justified consuming and listening to it so he could say that he was making decisions in his business that were properly informed because he knew what was going on. He was the ultimate consumer of all news but now he reflects on how a twitter alert about the imminent start of WWIII no longer brings the same response in him. He’s made the move to producer and in this episode explains how he did it and why you need to look at what you can change and influence rather than pointlessly worrying about what you can’t. This is a great episode which will make you smile and think carefully about what you are - consumer or producer?   KEY TAKEAWAYS I wanted to move myself to the next level to become the number 1 entrepreneur in Ireland and raise the GDP of the country like no other person ever had before The difference it made for me not listening to all the news shows was incredible and it freed me up to be able to move to the next level, which I had not been able to do before What you feed into your mind and subconscious through consumption of the arts and media and news works in the same way as the food you put into your body. Before I would have wasted the whole day trying to find out more, worrying about sh#t I had zero power to influence, to make go away or make better. The old me would have been consumed by the ‘news’ and wasted the whole day worrying and fretting. What I can do is make sure I have happy children, work hard on my business, work hard on myself, work hard on my marriage and pour my energy into creating a legacy I do have control of. Producers win and consumers lose In the past, I would have let myself be consumed by the sh#t and a few years on rather than consume and be consumed I’m using the experience to produce, to produce a podcast episode so that I can have a positive impact on others. This is stark evidence of my transformation from the consumer of other people’s sh#t to being the person who is only interested in working on myself and using what I’ve learnt to produce content for others. When you provide value because you are putting in the good stuff and producing quality for the world, that’s when the world repays your effort and everything goes really does 10x.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve had a lot of success in my life prior to clicking the final pieces of the jigsaw in place’ ‘I’m trying to help you turbocharge your success’ ‘Don’t do it the hard way like I did spending years working everything out. Listen to the lessons I have learnt along the way’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone To Grow

‘Every f#king day I will be outside of my comfort zone!’ Gavan is back and getting up close and personal in this episode which follows 5 weeks of episodes where Gavan along with Andrew Cuthbert have shared how they are planning to positively disrupt the venture capital space in Northern Ireland with their new venture ‘The Change’. But as a hugely successful entrepreneur, the question Gavan is asking is; Why would I be jeopardising my good name by taking other peoples’ money and investing it, why am I taking all this risk? He has achieved virtually everyone’s dream having built a company he loves, which now only requires a light touch from him, providing him with the opportunity to do as he pleases for most of his time. So why is he not putting his feet up and relaxing on a beach? He’s working even harder because getting out of his comfort zone and taking risks is what gives him the ultimate buzz! Listen in and find out why you should be getting out of your comfort zone and getting comfortable with discomfort to grow in the next year.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you make a promise to yourself to be the best version of yourself you can be, it’s then about how you keep moving forward. We are living in a developed world and we probably have too much comfort. We expect and get all the comfort we want in our lives so getting out of our comfort zone is really alien to us. We have come to expect comfort wherever we are in the developed world. We demand it and find it difficult to cope when we don’t have it. You should be making 2020 your year of discomfort, you need to get comfortable with discomfort and grow. When you are wondering what the difference is between you and those that are slaying it and having massive success it’s because they live in the discomfort all the time. When you step up and deliver something that is outside your comfort zone the adrenalin hit is great and highly addictive. You can start with something small and know that by the end of the year it will be significant.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We’ve made walrus island too comfortable for you, there is no more struggle on walrus island we take care of every need, there is comfort everywhere’ ‘Have you stopped pushing yourself?’ ‘Is this the year you are going to make everyone believe in you?’ ‘It’s a new decade so why not double down and make it happen’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   YouTube; The Change: Who The Change Invest In   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Change Venture Fund Part 5- Who 'The Change' Invests In? Matt Thompson Interviews Andrew Cuthbert & Gavan Wall

Gavan and Andrew explain who ‘The Change’ is looking to invest in and the qualities they will need to demonstrate. They are looking for people who have high values in legacy, leadership, quality and sacrifice. If they don’t have these values and if they are not looking to create something bigger than themselves, a legacy, then they are not the right founders for ‘The Change’ If you have the right values and are willing to dedicate yourself completely, for ten years then the outcome is the possibility of choosing what you do for the rest of your life. ‘The Change’ will look to invest if they understand the concept, how it will change the industry space and if they know someone who knows the space well enough to be an agent of change, listen in and find out more about how they are going to change the world.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We want to create an ecosystem so people will have the courage to follow their dreams and believe they can act on their ideas and create a legacy. Our potential founder will be someone who has pitched to tens of VC firms and been decimated from those experiences. When we meet someone, we want to understand what they do. We want it to be disruptive and fundamentally change how an industry works or individuals live. There are the science and tech people who have great ideas but lack the people skills and someone to walk alongside them. We are leading by example so when our investees wonder what it takes then they only have to look to us. This is the legacy we want to create and we have dedicated the next ten years to achieving it. If you dedicate and sacrifice for ten years potentially the rest of your life is your own. If instead of mediocrity you give your all for ten years you will be able to spend the rest of your life doing what you want.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The talkers what are they really going to deliver? ‘The individual who wants to run a billion-pound company is a different individual from others’ ‘If they are not looking to create something bigger than themselves there are easier ways to make money’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   YouTube; The Change: Who The Change Invest In   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Change Venture Fund Part 4- The Journey From £10million to £10billion? Matt Thompson Interviews Andrew Cuthbert & Gavan Wall

We're really getting into the meat of Gavan and Andrew's new Venture Capital business and what they're setting out to achieve in this 4th part of 5 episodes. In this episode the scale of the ambition is laid bare. They're on a journey to turn £10MN into £10BN of value in 10years. Listen in and get all the details on how they're going to do it! Gavan and Andrew discuss the billionaire mindset and what investees and investors can expect from The Change. In NI money or success are not really talked about but money is the opportunity to make a massive difference. If you can create huge value and huge wealth within the world you can do some crazy sh#t and really make a difference. The Change is trying to create a billion pounds of value in 10 companies so they’ve got to talk about money. They have to talk to investors, who want to invest and the investees who have the aspirations. Listen in and find out how they are creating a very different journey for both investors and founders, one that will make a difference and foster the big ideas that will change the world.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What does it take to start a company that will become a billion-pound business? We are looking at companies that require anything from half a million to 1.5 million. At the start, we may invest a small amount as a kick start so we can see how the vision is managed, what the quality is like and how they deliver. This can be followed by a first phase investment along with a milestone when the milestone is hit we unlock more capital. We can take your money as a sophisticated investor and spread it across the 10 companies we are working with. We are gathering a 10-million-pound fund from sophisticated investors. It’s the start of the journey from 10 million to 10 billion. We are at our core, value-adding Venture Capital. We will employ an agent of change, someone from the sector the business is in, to advise both the business and us on how to take the business forward. No one else is focusing on what we are focusing on – the journey. We have a very specific journey that will be completed when the valuation is 10m plus. Our success will be judged on whether after 18 or 36 months we can deliver a company worth 10m plus. There are lots of elements of change involved but we don’t want to change the things that work, we are looking to transform the relationship between the founder and VC.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We are looking to invest in early-stage pre-revenue companies that have big ideas’ ‘We are looking to say ‘we’ve helped you get started now you need to move to investment on the next level’ ‘We want to show that NI can bring in the best investors to support the best founders in NI’ ‘We have good relationships with VC companies who are bigger and have deeper pockets, we will be delivering our companies onto these VC to complete the journey’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   YouTube The Change; The Journey from £10m to £10bn   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Change Venture Fund: Part 2 What We're Going Do

‘When you have something inside you that says you were meant to create something big?’  Join Gavan and his business partner,  Andrew Cuthbert as they discuss what they are looking for in a founder, values, the reasons for creating the change and why they are going big on legacy. They are creating something in Northern Ireland that will enable founders to create real value before going up to the next level because the question should be what legacy are you creating not what’s the revenue model? Their passion for Northern Ireland to again lead the way, as it did in the industrial revolution means their legacy is going to be big, it will be a legacy for a country. Listen in to find out more about what they are going to do in this insightful episode.    KEY TAKEAWAYS We are looking for the people who are driven by wanting to create a great legacy, when we talk about a million pounds as the evaluation we want to get to ‘the traditional unicorn’ and Its not necessarily about the exact financial position but about the mindset. If you are looking to change the world you’ll go further, work harder and push the envelope to another level, but it’s not for everyone. We are looking for founders who have particular values; Legacy  – do you want to create something bigger than yourself? it’s asking what is your core purpose? What can you change for others, what difference can you make in the world? Leadership - can they articulate it and make it clear to others, do others want to follow? There is not a type of leadership we are looking for but we want to evidence that they will be able to create a desire within their customer base, employees and within their industry. A good leader is someone who you want to follow, they create a pathway you want to walk towards. Quality – how do people deliver their idea and can they deliver what’s expected on time? It is knowing exactly what you are going to deliver and achieving it Quality is turning up every single day to deliver and organising your life to be able to do this. Sacrifice – is something you’ve got to want to do and it only comes to light that you’ve done enough after the fact. Having a plan that you can refer to will help you to know why you are sacrificing something. Even in the good times founders are looking forward to the next 5 years and working out what the next move should be. We spend a lot more time with our potential founders, so that when we make a judgement we are well informed.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I had a plan for 7 years sacrifice and it paid off massively for me’ ‘If you want to disrupt an industry you have to be able to attract the best people from other businesses in the industry to disrupt it’ ‘I want to change the world; my legacy has to be big’ ‘I was surprised about how money is managed by other people and I was also lucky enough to be in the company of entrepreneurs that had great venture capitalists behind them that made a difference in their lives’    VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website   What the Change Does & The Values it is Looking For   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Change Venture Fund: Part 1 – The Origin Story

Today’s episode is a very different affair as Gavan assumes the role of interviewee for a change! Along with his business partner, Andrew Cuthbert, Gavan is interviewed by Matt Thompson about the origin story and rise to business success in this first part of a five-part insight into the men behind the success of Change.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Andrew and Gavan met through LinkedIn, where Gavan had been looking for a tech startup opportunity. It began as a fascination between the two men but grew into a deep understanding of how they both liked to work. Entrepreneurs have a set a values that require them to disrupt the status quo; to look at any given situation and design ways of doing things differently. The most important thing in any working relationship is to find skills that compliment each other. Gavan is a problem solver, while Andrew has the technical expertise. This makes them a formidable partnership. The most important contributions in adding value are the ones that emanate from the mind. An idea is priceless and is completely unique to you.  BEST MOMENTS ’The honesty of the post just hit me’ ’The exterior wrapper may be different’ ‘I’ve always wanted to be the change’ ‘I cannot overstate how fascinating Andrew is’ ‘Gavan has completed me’ ‘It’s all about adding value with the power of the mind’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Avgoy-zrg&list=PL3gYQKd_NL9LvNld_-c0Q9W0BXm9HPVSo&index=1  ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Partnering With The Right People Is Key To Success. The Wall Group Has Just Inked A New 10year Deal With The Henderson Group

‘If you think you can travel the journey alone you will soon find it’s a journey that can’t be taken alone’ As the Wall Group celebrates renewing its deal with the Henderson Group, Gavan is reflecting on the importance of the partnerships we make in business and why it’s vital that you take action and ask the right questions before you partner up with someone. Finding out the values, drive and motivation of the people you potentially want to work with is key because no matter what you want to do you can’t achieve it alone. Listen in now to find out about the journey The Wall Group and The Henderson Group have taken together.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The Wall Group has just inked a new 10-year deal  with the Henderson Group Their drive, innovation and belief in a legacy bigger than themselves is what puts them on a different and higher level. Things are different when you are dealing with people like that - they think differently and act differently. It’s not about the short term wins it’s about the long-term relationships and this mirrors my view on things. When you find out what your values are you can find partners who are like-minded. Ask what success looks like for the people you are potentially going to partner with. If you understand what success looks like for them then you will know if it aligns with you. When you overachieve because you know what success is for them it will strengthen your relationship and they will want to work with you again. Who are you partnering with and why? Can you see yourself standing with the company in the long term? If you look down the road will you want them to be standing with you in ten years’ time?   BEST MOMENTS ‘These guys aren’t in it for the money they are in it for the legacy’ ‘Why wouldn’t I sweat the asset as much as I could?’ ‘You have infinite power inside yourself so you need to ask yourself the right questions’ ‘If someone else can conquer it why the f#ck can’t you’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Don't Be a Victor Meldrew! Seize The Opportunities Tech and Social Offer

‘I’m trying to change the mindset of a whole country so converting non-believers is part of my journey’ Gavan likes to understand the motivation of those who troll and persistence with one of his trolls has revealed a fear of technology and being an older person within the social media space. To address this Gavan shares 8 great tips on how to seize, mostly for free, the opportunities that are available to build and be in the social media space. He wants to be part of the future not a Victor Meldrew character type and this episode offers great advice for anyone on how to get you and your business out there. Listen in and start creating your social media presence.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Use these Ideas to boost activities on social media, because the world values and gives back to creators, not consumers. Why not ask your niece, grandson or child, to give you a tutorial? – it is intuitive for them and it’s a great way to build a relationship and spend time together. If you don’t know how to make your own content - use a site like ‘Fiver’ to help you – you don’t need to hire someone. You don’t need to spend any money – ‘Canva’ is free and is a great tool for creating marketing images on a social feed. If you don’t have anyone to ask – get online and ask the question on YouTube Get some headshots you can use across different social media - Think about multiple poses and different backgrounds that you can use over several months. Instagram is considering the removal of ‘likes’ – this means there are no excuses only you will know how many likes you have. Get on a training course – you can do online courses or 1 to 1 face to face. Find out what’s available in your area. Who doesn’t want to be the most important person in their group – if you open yourself up to this new world you will be opening yourself to lots of new friends.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m up to 2,000 Instagram followers and you can have this too’ ‘It’s much easier for an older person to stand out on social media because there are fewer of us out there’ ‘Looking into a recent troll it was possible to see it was based on a fear of technology’ ‘If I don’t have anything positive to say I don’t say anything’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Time To Go Off Grid And Discover Greatness

In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan puts the pop diva—and who he believes is a career inspiration—on the centre stage! Kylie Minogue’s career, as most already know, wasn’t very linear in terms of progression. She took years of hiatus—quite a shock, really—but the ‘career break’ was proven to be beneficial to her career. Gavan shares today the story on how he met one of his teenage crushes by chance. Curious of how it went down and what hit him when he finally saw one of his idols? Learn more when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just like Kylie, you can also take a step back, take a break or change course, even at your peak, if you need to. There shouldn’t be a definite approach on things. Who knows, the other way might be better than the current. If you choose to take a chance on an opportunity, the make sure that you have a plan. It might be a great time to explore and experiment, but it doesn’t mean that you can be careless. Effective planning leads to achieving great results. Sometimes, you have to let go of some old habits, and even values, to make way of the right things—things that can actually serve you and help you succeed.

You're Not Alone With Your Imposter Syndrome - We All Get It

Gavan has experienced it all before, but not having an imposter syndrome. So, when it happened to him recently, he was surprised and at the same time he was quite glad. He was glad because it’s an experience that can be another chance to help other people—he can know fully understand and offer help, which is as authentic as possible. So, today on The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares the coping mechanisms he’s learned when he was experiencing imposter syndrome. Listen in to know more about these. Remember: You can get through this! You are not alone. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reasons why Gavan’s feeling imposter syndrome: The fear of losing others’ money Being clued up most of the time Buried deep in the technology space Overwhelmed with a big responsibility Trying to create unicorns Things you must do: Ask yourself if you REALLY want to turn back after all the efforts you’ve done. Get out of your head. Think about what you can do for others. Time for exercise to detox! Talk to others. Set your goals. BEST MOMENTS “Fear is not the same as imposter syndrome.” “I like to spend as much time as I can think about EQ more than IQ.” “If up until now you’ve been thinking that you’re the only person who suffers from the impostor syndrome, it’s far more common than you think.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Gavan Wall Official Website ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

How To Beat The Monotony Of Work

“I never have the chance to be bored because I’m setting new goals, new challenges, and new territory.” – Gavan Wall In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares the secrets on how to beat the monotony of work. We’ve heard it lots of time… “The only thing that’s constant is change.” If you feel that everything has become stale, then you should start worrying. Go back to your core value, principle, and goals. Surely, this is not the state you want to stay at when you reach your 40s, 50s, or so. Take down notes as he enumerates the different strategies you can do to continue personal development and career growth. Listen in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Luckily, Gavan only had a moment in his career that he experienced the monotony—it was when he was working as a barrister. But Gavan knew better and changed what he could change. It’s a danger zone when you don’t see change. You can’t be content at where you are right now if you know you can do improve something. How to prevent monotony at work? Always challenge yourself to grow. Make sure that your goals are gorilla goals. Ask yourself when’s your next speaking engagement. Push yourself outside yourself in LinkedIn. Attend networking events. Host your own event. Don’t just listen to The Speed Mentor Podcast; get out there! Create a list of your goals. Join Award ceremonies. Do CSRs. Set up a podcast. Do something different today! BEST MOMENTS “The danger zone is where the monotony starts.” “It’s about challenging yourself to grow and be better each day.” “Networking is a brilliant way to meet other like-minded people.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Simon Taylor - https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-taylor-45045424/ A Beautiful Mind by Ron Howard | IMDb | https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268978/ The Speed Mentor Podcast: Why You Must Start to Public Speak | Apple | Spotify | Omny The Speed Mentor Podcast: Max The Opportunity When You’re An Attendee At Events | Apple | Spotify | Omny The Speed Mentor Podcast: Creating Ideas to Drive You Forward | Apple | Spotify | Omny The Speed Mentor Podcast: Industry Awards Ceremonies; Waste of Time or Essential Marketing? | Apple | Spotify | Omny The Speed Mentor Podcast: Want to Maximise The Impact of Your CSR and Charitable Work, Here’s How! | Apple | Spotify | Omny Gavan Wall Official Website ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Today I Don't Give A F--k. Make The Most Of It

Is it a big deal that I’m not feeling it today? I’m not your hero today, I’m just one beating heart, one overflowing mind’ We are 121 episodes in for the Speed Mentor and this is a very different episode from Gavan. It can be hard giving so much of yourself to the world and letting it own a chunk of you at all times and today is one of those very rare days when Gavan is tired of being who he is and feeling vulnerable. He is brutally honest in this evocative episode which will resonant in some way with everyone, as he reflects on daring to be vulnerable and the importance of committing to your potential.   KEY TAKEAWAYS I’m the guy who’s there to take it all and act like a lightning rod so everyone can learn from my experiences and follow the breadcrumbs, finding out how to do it. Maybe I’m tired of being who I’m meant to be or who I’ve painted myself into the corner of being. Maybe you get days like that to when you are tired of being who you’re meant to be. You could feel like this because of; Boredom You don’t love what you are doing Maybe you are aren’t experiencing the success you feel you deserve Maybe you are valuing the opinions of others over your own ambition Maybe you don’t know where you’re going It’s ok to feel these things occasionally but happiness and fulfilment lie in reducing the number of days you feel like this to a minimum whilst understanding you can never eradicate them completely. I’m wearing my vulnerability on my sleeve today. To be brave and show up vulnerable is a superpower all in itself. People often only commit tiny amounts of their potential, they hold back because they fear being vulnerable, a rejection at this point can be devasting. I  understand and embrace that I am unfinished and always will be. It enables me to step into this arena today when I am feeling vulnerable. This is real, this is me - I document my journey and leave the breadcrumbs for others – I call it radical authenticity.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If you don’t take the risks you’ll end up bored, lacking motivation and not loving what you  do’   ‘I know deep down that you can’t take on the world every day, on the days that you can’t small wins are a significant achievement’ ‘People don’t want to do the deep work on themselves that’s needed to feel comfortable in being vulnerable’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Working Up The Change's Business Plan

‘We are going to prove to the world we have awesome talent and innovation right here in Northern Ireland’ This episode is the third part in a 3-part series about the birth of ‘The Change’ The principles of success are universal and Gavan and Andrew are bringing them to the world of venture capital with ‘The Change’ creating ten billion-dollar businesses in 10 years. They are seeking technology companies that can bring solutions, disrupt industries, change the world and become billion-dollar businesses. This episode focuses on the values that Gavan and Andrew are looking for in the start-ups they want to invest in and why these values are key elements in a billion-dollar business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If the big questions haven’t been asked and the answers interrogated before you start then you will be nothing more than an also-ran. What are the values that govern your conduct and the values you seek in the people who work with you or for you We needed a way to judge each of the potential founders against our overall aim to create billion-dollar businesses; Legacy Leadership Quality Sacrifice These are the important values if you want to build a billion-dollar company. Legacy We are looking for people who don’t see their achievements limited to themselves. Legacy is about what you create outside of yourself for the benefit of others, it's about the impact your life and work has on others. Leadership When it comes to creating a billion-dollar business the leaders must have the magnetism to attract others such as investors, employees and customers to their cause. Quality Can they demonstrate quality in every area of delivery being on time or ahead of time every time. Preparation and follow up all must be delivered to the highest quality. Sacrifice Does the founder appreciate that investment by The Change only comes if we believe they understand that you cannot create a billion-dollar company unless you are prepared to sacrifice virtually everything in your life for a significant period of time. We want to create a movement of people ‘agents of change’   BEST MOMENTS ‘If you are going to live to eighty, would you not sacrifice seven of those years to achieve true greatness and choose what you wanted to do for the rest of your life’ Whether your business is in venture capital or selling candy floss you’ve got to take the time to think about why? If you are just trying to impact on family and friends you don’t have the mindset required to create a legacy, make an indelible mark on the world ‘You know it when you see it, that mercurial twinkle in their eye that great leaders have’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

The Change Pt.II What's Happening Next

The first part got so much reactions and Gavan was surprised. So, in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, he gives us an update. What’s happening with the change that he and Andrew has been creating? Gavan and Andrew are aware of the success rate of start-up companies. So, as they help the aspiring entrepreneurs, they want them to have a strong foundation because it isn’t all about the money. Aside from talking about his aim to put Northern Island on the top in the tech industry through Project-X, he also encourages everyone to see vulnerability as a strength, not as a weakness. This is a great start if you want to build connections that will last and matter. Time to listen in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Vulnerability can be your strength. If you’re not opening yourself up to people, it’d be difficult to create connections. And, in order for you to understand and influence them, you must convince them you can be trusted too. But, before you open yourself up, you need to trust and be confident about yourself and your abilities. There will be people who won’t be as appreciative with what you’re doing, but that’s okay as long as you focus on the people who can see your value. He and his partner are ready to help entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland, especially those in start-up, be successful with their combined knowledge in tech and personal development. BEST MOMENTS “You got to touch people to make a difference in them.” “Create a foundation of achievement first.” “If we believe that we can bring all the stakeholders together as agents of change, we can create an unstoppable movement.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Gavan Wall Official Website ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Project-X AKA The Change; How It All Began

‘Change is everywhere and it's very often good for you’ In this thought-provoking episode, Gavan discusses why having built a successful brand he’s walking away and seizing a new opportunity. Gavan explains why you should be open to every opportunity and the importance of partnering up if you want to create something that is truly epic in scale and the realisation of your dreams. Listen in to find out now about Project X and its importance.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Opportunities You should always try to keep the door open for any and every possibility in life. People change, I have changed I am not the same person I was a decade ago and neither are you. I want to create, with others, something truly global from scratch. I find it fairly easy to create opportunities of good scale, I find it fairly easy to create and build multi-million-dollar turnover in very profitable businesses. When I look back in my life a common theme is that I walk away from good opportunities, am I afraid of failure or is it that I’m afraid of success? The reason I keep walking away is that I want to create not million but billion-dollar opportunities in Northern Ireland, I want to create a billion-dollar legacy. The reason I’ll achieve it is that I’ve got the balls to say it and because I’ve gathered knowledge across multiple industries with a network of people who will help me. I can’t achieve that sort of scale on my own, greatness can only be achieved by at least a pair of people. If you are starting, scaling or building your business you can achieve success on your own but to be truly disruptive and world-changing there has to be at least a pair of you. Detailing your narrative and journey is a great way of connecting with other like-minded people and sharing your common cause. Project X If you document your authentic story other like-minded people will identify with you. My business partner for Project X had had similar experiences, warmed to my resilience and knew about my journey because I’ve shared the ups and downs of my life. Our failures brought us together one a humble genius, the other brash but philosophically completely in sync. Dreams If you think you were born to achieve something more than others expect of you. If you think you are destined for something greater, never ever give up on that. Dream big, take massive action towards it and share it, to keep you accountable and inspire others.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Here is a guy from Belfast who used to be in law, had an entrepreneurial itch, who’s saying out loud he wants to create multi-billions in value in Northern Ireland with start-up. businesses and he’s going to create it with his business partner and document the journey’ ‘He reached out to me because of a post I’d done on failure – about losing everything’ ‘Greatness can only be achieved by at least a pair of people’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Speed Mentor Podcast Gavan Wall website     ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Some Great Lessons from The Blindside

As we head into Autumn, let Gavan ask you: what did you accomplish during Summer? Were you able to plan that project? Were you able to get the needed vacation? Well, it doesn’t really matter what you did and what you didn’t, as long as you’ve learned something during the whole duration, right? Today on the episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares what made a mark on him. He watched the movie ‘The Blind Side’ with his family last week, and he says he won’t ever forget about it! Well, it won’t be definitely considered ‘big’ by some of you but The Blind Side left so many great lessons for him and for his family. And, he’s sharing it in this episode because he believes it will help you too! Discover what The Speed Mentor is raving about when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gavan does a Friday Movie Night with his family as their bonding and to sort of cap their weeks. This week, they watched The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron and Tim McGraw, and it brought tears to everyone’s eyes. Gavan says it might be one of the best movies they’ve watched together. The Blind Side is based on a true story. Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) has been in foster care with different families before Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) and Sean Tuohy (Tim McGraw) took him in—they became his legal guardian. As they try to live like normal families, they learn and support each other, which will then lead to self-discoveries of their own. You can be the catalyst for someone’s pursuit of happiness and success. You can let someone see his own potential if he’s having a difficult time recognising it. BEST MOMENTS “Be a stopper, not a quitter.” “The weight of the vested interest is to keep us in line, to force us back in to our silos in life.” “The more you give to the world, the more it gives back to you.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Blind Side (2009) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878804/ Gavan Wall Official Website ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

If You Want To Live to 150yrs of Age, The Power of Positivity Will Get You There, And I've Got The Proof!

The Elixir of Life… Where do we find it? It turns out immortality or maybe just growing as old as you want is possible. The only potion you need is positive thinking, according to Gavan. In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, he talks about the power of positivity. Frowning, complaining, or bickering will get you nowhere. If you really want to reach your goals, change ways, or try out something new, then you have to think that you can do it, at the very least. Learn how you can develop a positive mindset today when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can’t have control on the commotion/imbalance/disturbance that happen in our surroundings. What we can control is how we process and deal with them. If we don’t let them consume us, then you don’t have to worry about a shortened life expectancy. According to a study, optimistic people live longer. On average, they have 11 percent to 15 percent longer life span than those who don’t have a positive outlook in life. Gavan also adds that most optimistic people have goals. Tips To Keep you More Positive: Dive again in the previous episodes of The Speed Mentor Podcast. Visualise a good life ahead of you. Be grateful. Stop complaining. Have an alcohol-free existence. BEST MOMENTS “I’ve got control of everything I let in my orbit.” “Lead a positive life. Always see the cup half full. Always see that every obstacle is an opportunity1 “Positivity comes from feeding yourself of the good stuff.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Optimists Live Longer | The Brinks Gavan Wall Official Website ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

You can make it happen, just like our Speed Mentor.  Today, Andy Arter, host of the Transform Your Wealth and Health Podcast, chats with Gavan Wall. Discover how Gavan started his entrepreneurial journey on his own with no mentor or any huge support of money to back him up. He had jobs before that pay well, but never did his hunger for starting his own business die down. Gavan was always hungry for the challenge, the unlimited wealth, the happiness, and the freedom, so he went for it.   There were a lot of challenges and downfalls, but everything was worth it.

His career isn’t in there for sure, it was in entrepreneurship.  He had an international phone card company and became very successful in the UK. Then, he started buying and renting properties to diversify. Everything was going well, but the market crash happened.  There was no one else but himself. He had no mentor and even no own home while building his business which had up to 150 team members. He was ready to sacrifice everything just to see his dream and passion materialise.   Add value to everybody. If you can help someone with your skills, knowledge, and experience, do it. It’s the most fulfilling feeling.  BEST MOMENTS  “It’s about the challenge of testing yourself to the absolute maximum.”  “The greatest danger is when you’re starting out, and that’s where the most fear is.”  “Everybody goes through failure.

It Doesn't Sound Very Sexy, But You Need To Get Consistent Action Into Your Locker

‘Consistent application through maintenance of motivation’ is the key according to Gavan!  No one tunes in to The Speed Mentor Podcast and is only pleased with an average wealth, average lifestyle, and average mindset. Everyone here in Wallrus Island wants the real thing—the legacy, the wealth, personal development, unstoppable mindset, etc. All of what was mentioned can be achieved through massive action, which you have heard gazillion times in the previous episodes. Today, we dive deep on how important consistency is in taking every massive action. Once you’ve started something, you must put in the time and effort in every single task regularly so you’ll meet your goal. Discover how you can do it in this episode.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Love yourself. Nobody’s perfect—you got your ugly bits too. It’s time to embrace and own them. These what makes you unique. Transform all your flaws into something where you and others can benefit.  Jumping into what you want right away with no assurance that you’ll get rewards at the end of day might be best for you. You learn and experience new things that can help you in your future long-term goals.  A great portion of massive action is taking a consistent action. You can’t expect reaping great success at the end if you don’t put in your fullest in the daily grind.  How can you be consistent in what you do? Write all your goals, even the very smallest one. Read them every single day or when you need it, just to recalibrate yourself and know where to put your focus and priority every day.  BEST MOMENTS  “It’s what on the inside that matters, and what we see in ourselves and others that makes the difference of how we love and how we grow.”  “Your being, your essence, your identity is based more on what you think and what you do than where you actually born.”  “It’s the consistency of the application, it’s the systemisation that they have…”  “Action must be consistent or it will amount to no more than you being average.”  ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Revenge, A Dish Best Served Cold... Or Not At All

Every generation has its opinions and wisdom about revenge. We’re taught all too often that revenge should be equal to the crime, and even that we owe it ourselves or those we love, to take revenge when we’re hurt.   But it’s a mindset that holds far too many people back. Why, when we spend so much time planning and mapping out our goals and our path in life, should we then spend so much time away from that plan, so that we can get our own back when we feel we’ve been wronged.   In this episode, Gavan discusses this fascinating issue, and provides you with the tools and examples you’ll need to remain focussed on what’s important.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Every judgment you make is not based on the facts that you believe are true. It’s based on your perception of what fact is. It’s filtered through prejudice, emotion and experience.      The energy wasted on chasing these false perceptions is tragic. Imagine the good you could do with that energy. Imagine the time you could save by concentrating on something positive instead.     In the heat of the moment, people can feel a burning desire to teach a lesson to those who have wronged us; to make them feel humility or to make them understand what they’ve done wrong.      Remember that if this person’s crimes were an extension of their personality, then they’ll most likely learn a lesson when they do the same thing to someone just like them down the line.     Set your own personal goals properly. Take care of the stuff that takes you towards them. That’s the part we can control, and the only part we should control.      Instead of seeking revenge, aim for more personal success. Remember that karma will take care of the bad guys!  BEST MOMENTS  ‘We’re all different, so why do so many look the same?’   ‘Let’s get real. It’s cancerous stuff we’re talking about here’   ‘Your perception is probably based on the grey stuff, instead of the black and white you think it is’   ‘Get over yourself! Pray for them!’   ‘You’ll have an arms race on your hands'   ‘Do better. Be better!'   ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

...Is It The Final Curtain?

There’s gonna be a big change on Wallrus Island.  We had to tweak things a bit—in place of daily episodes, The Speed Mentor Podcast will now be publishing once a week, every Thursday. In this episode, Gavan discusses why so listen in! Your daily companion has to change his schedule due to Project X. There’s no need to be sad! Gavan is planning to give you more content and value, through other formats, avenues and ventures (i.e. Project X). He is very grateful to all of you for sticking it out and joining with him along this weekly journey. He hopes the last 110 episodes were valuable to all of you!  Let him know what you think of this revamp. Start tuning in to know more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Gavan’s ‘Project X’ is almost on its way and he’s very excited about it. This is his main priority as of now among a huge number of projects.  His goal to be the #1 Personality in Northern Belfast is unfaltering. Though the Speed Mentor Podcast can help him produce valuable content for everyone, it isn’t enough for his personal development and to improve his craft. The pursuit of growth always continues.  What’s the future for the Speed Mentor Podcast? Gavan is going nowhere. Instead of the daily release of episodes, he’ll put them out weekly.   BEST MOMENTS  “I share my guerrilla goals to you to keep me accountable.”  “It’s very important for you to apply the same thought, principles, and your own mind to your goals to keep you growing exponentially too.”  “I don’t want any of you to forget what this journey together has felt like for the last 110 episodes. Bottle up that secret sauce and apply that to your daily life.”  ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

COLLABCAST With Best Of Belfast! Share The Treasure

On our final leg of the Slay The Dragon Series, Gavan Wall and Matt Thompson teaches us how to celebrate—how to take in all the successes and how de we enjoy all the treasures we come across in the journey. Though we see the end goal as the ultimate treasure, don’t forget to digest every experience you’ve consumed along the way. Most of the time, these are what influenced as the most—what changed us. When we recognise that we’ve grown so much after our hero’s journey, the final step is the most crucial. Learn how to share the knowledge to other people so you can help them. Discover more on how you can share the wonderful treasures when you tune in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast! KEY TAKEAWAYS It’d be the most fulfilling feeling to celebrate your success if you share it with others. You show your gratitude to the people who have helped you when you pass what you’ve learned to others. Gavan and Matt won’t hear any of your excuses if you say you say there’s no avenue available to share your knowledge. Make use of the internet. There’s social media, which is available for free, where you can produce any content, from videos, podcasts, articles, etc. Take note that not everyone will want your help or support that you offer, but that shouldn’t stop you from contributing value. Take pride on the possibility that there might be one (yes, even one) individual who is growing because of what you put out. BEST MOMENTS “The treasure is the knowledge, especially when you share it.” “Change is inevitable but growth is a choice.” “You learn so much.

COLLABCAST With Best Of Belfast! Enter The Cave

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek.” Are you ready to set out in your journey? The thing is you’ll never be ready. No matter how much you’ve prepared, there will be unprecedented things that will appear­--there’s gonna be big challenges, there’s gonna be failure, but that shouldn’t let you stop entering the cave. We’re on our third part of the Slay The Dragon Series, a collabcast between The Speed Mentor Gavan Wall and Best of Belfast’s Matt Thompson, and this is what we highlight today. Gavan and Matt share their own experiences in slaying their very first dragon. No matter how big or small that is, we always are victorious if we learn or improve something from the quest. They also share some tips, so you won’t be as scared as when your time to enter the cave comes. Start tuning in to know more. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not only the external factors that you need to look out for when you’re about to set out in a journey; one must also be wary of how our surroundings might change or make us aware of an unknown within us. We may end up confronting the inner conflicts just to win the physical battles. Don’t let your fears and doubts rule your quest. Your task is to show up. You’ll learn and develop as time goes by. And as you move along the journey, just think about how close you get every time to winning while overcoming all your battles. When you’ve slayed your first dragon, you get a taste of how fulfilling and satisfying it will be when you get to the top. Learn from and celebrate these kinds of milestones. BEST MOMENTS “A lot of the dragons that we face in our lives at our core we’re actually fighting with the person inside.” “You may go in and face the dragon and you may get burnt. You may actually get your ass kicked the first time you go in.” “It’s okay to be a stopper, but never be a quitter.

COLLABCAST With Best Of Belfast! Meet The Mentor

Who’s the mentor of the Speed Mentor? If you want to know how successful and influential people found their mentors, then listen to Gavan Wall and Matthew Thompson today. This Slay the Dragon Series, a collabcast, promises to help you in your hero’s journey. For the diehard Wallruses out there, we’ve long established from the previous episodes of the podcast that NO (hero’s) journey is travelled alone. You need people to help you, motivate you, and collaborate with along the way. A mentor is the greatest person you’ll keep at your side during the expedition. Discover where you can find the best one for you when you listen in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Find a mentor you’re comfortable with-someone who can empathise with whatever you’re going through and can help you get you out of it. Gavan recalls the first time he openly talked to his mentor about the challenges he was facing. To unload what’s on your mind is freeing and to know that someone’s willing to listen is very encouraging. Matt’s grandmother was a key mentor to him. Wisdom comes with age. It may not be about business strategies, but she thought him about life experiences. Don’t quickly dismiss the idea of paid mentorships. Some might think it might be useless for them since there are a lot of resources which they can take advantage of. But if you really want to commit, consider paid mentorships. These mentors know what the value of what they can do; they know it’s worth paying. And most of the time, where our money goes, our attention goes. For mentees, be clear on what you want first before you approach a prospect mentor. How can he/she help you if you aren’t aware of your purpose. It’s not the mentor’s job to do that for you. He’s there to help you. Besides, these people are who value their time so much. If you meet them, always be ready. BEST MOMENTS “The mentor is the one who’s gonna train the hero, prepare them for the journey ahead, and equip them with the right tools.” “For any mentor, to have empathy is as much an important tool as the knowledge of the actual business.” “Every person who will give assistance, add value to them.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell The Artist’s Journey: The Wake of the Hero’s Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning by Steven Pressfield Rob Moore The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo The Speed Mentor: It's Seems Like A Long Time Ago That I Was Sacked Twice In One Week - THE UPDATE | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher ABOUT THE GUEST HOST Matthew Thompson is the host of the Best of Belfast Podcast, a podcast dedicated to showcase what Belfast has to offer – the places, the stories of the locals, the culture, and many more.

Gavan and Matt assure you that everything will be worth the sacrifice, the risks, and the energy you put in when you finally see your plans developing into something. Listen in to know get more insights about their stories today. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s good to assert yourself into new calls for adventure. Most likely, your creative mind would come up with new ideas on how to improve what you have and what you could offer. Don’t let anything and anyone stops yourself from embarking on this journey. The only way is to move forward. The only advice for people who think they don’t have the guts to do it is just do it. Commit on doing it. Learn from people who have already experienced it or those who have same goals as you are. Who knows, you might help each other traverse your journeys as well. You’ll need people around you while you go through it. BEST MOMENTS “The hero’s journey never ends.” “Once you go after those feelings inside… I don’t want to go to the grave.” “Psychologists refer to that as the lock-in effect. That’s when you commit at something and force yourself into doing it.” “Sometimes in life, it’s better you don’t know because if you knew, you probably won’t go in the journey.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell The Artist’s Journey: The Wake of the Hero’s Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning by Steven Pressfield ABOUT THE GUEST HOST Matthew Thompson is the host of the Best of Belfast Podcast, a podcast dedicated to showcase what Belfast has to offer – the places, the stories of the locals, the culture, and many more.

COLLABCAST With Best Of Belfast! The Heroes Journey

When Frodo prevented Dark Lord Sauron from using the One Ring to rule Middle Earth, he became a hero. When Neo led and won the warfare against machine overlords from obliterating the whole humanity, he also became a hero. You might not be aware, but you are on your own hero’s journey-well, not in the fictional world, of course, but in real life. In this first part of the 5-part Slay the Dragon Series, a collabcast of The Speed Mentor Gavan Wall with Best of Belfast Podcast’s Matt Thompson, we discuss everything you need to know about The Hero’s Journey. They base this on Joseph Campbell’s book of the same title. Today, we’ve compressed the steps into ten, so make sure you take mental notes. Discover how you can start and expect from your journey. We know deep down ourselves that there’s more to what we are doing and what we have that is far better, so tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ordinary World - We try go through each day trying to get the most out of the mundane. We work from 9-5 most of the week, try to spend time with out loved ones, and get enough rest. Call to Adventure - Passion has been ignited and you want to start and plan you journey. We think what we want is unreachable and that we’re not worth it. Meeting with the Mentor - When someone experienced shows and up and guides you in your journey, grab the opportunity and start learning. Crossing the threshold. It’s about jumping out to the unknown and taking the leap. Tests, Allies, Enemies - You meet people that will help you improve, develop and face any obstacle. And there will be people who won’t even bat an eyelash. Approach to The Inmost Cave - Confront your fears, doubts, and insecurities. It’s only you who can resolve your inner conflicts. Primal Ordeal - Ready yourself for your unforeseen battles. They could be as small and as big as they get. They could change your path or even change you afterwards. Getting Out. You get a sense of relief from the transformation that happened from overcoming an obstacle. It’s the moment of ultimate humility as the hero do what he feels what needs to be done. There is completion of the character arc. A Gift for The People. Look back to where you started and see and appreciate how much you’ve changed. It’s time to help other people also in their journey. BEST MOMENTS “At the end of the day, we all want to be heroes.” The heroes’ journey is like a circle. The reason it’s a circle is because the heroes’ journey doesn’t start when you’re born and ends when you die. It’s a process you’ll go through several times in your life.” “Mentors can be physical. They can be people in real life that you meet for coffee, a grandparent, a parent, or whoever he is. But they can also be, in this day and age, digital.” “Start the action that will create attraction.” “There’s always that moment when you think you’ve won, the end’s at sight, but a bigger challenge will come up.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell The Artist’s Journey: The Wake of the Hero’s Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning by Steven Pressfield ABOUT THE GUEST HOST Matthew Thompson is the host of the Best of Belfast Podcast, a podcast dedicated to showcase what Belfast has to offer – the places, the stories of the locals, the culture, and many more.

Visualize Your Way To Success

It all starts inside our brain. Every idea, plan and decision gets concocted inside our head. So, as much as possible, we harness the power of our subconscious mind, which is in charge of our belief and actions. In this episode, Gavan dives deep on how visualisation can help you achieve more. He gives four key reasons to start training yourself in visualising your way to a successful life. When you imagine what you want for yourself, everything will fall right into place. You see what works for you and what not. You know what opportunities to grab and who can help you realise your dreams. Discover how you can visualise your way to success today on The Speed Mentor Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Law of Attraction. It states that whatever you think about, fantasize about, and talk about will be attracted into your life. When you believe and start imagining how it feels when you reach your goal, it’s easier to ponder on the resources and the plans you need to get there. Motivation isn’t built to last. It’s important to find inspiration and refocus every day by visualising. Knowing that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow gets you re-energised if you feel like your energy is depleting. It burns a mental picture, feelings and emotions into your subconscious mind. When this happens, your reticular activating system (RAS) starts working and your goals and dreams become clear. It programs your RAS to notice the resources are already around you. We become observant and resourceful. What we can do becomes limitless because we can see how anything can be turned into an opportunity. BEST MOMENTS “Action creates the attraction.” “Your subconscious mind is a limitless resource that you’re hardly tapping into.” “When we reset at the end of the day and build the emotional connection to the achievement of the dream, then you’re ready to go again the next day.” ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

An Episode About Beyonce- Surely Not!

No. Sadly, Gavan won’t be belting out Beyoncé tunes today. Instead, in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan highlights what Walruses can learn from Beyoncé and her dedication towards her career, passion, and advocacies. Gavan was definitely amazed and inspired after watching her documentary film Homecoming so he wants to share them to you also. Beyoncé’s music will remain quintessential throughout the history of pop music. But, how does she does it? How did she build and still grow such a legacy? What can we learn from her as entrepreneurs? Start tuning in to find out the answers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Homecoming gives us a closer look at Beyoncé’s iconic 2018 Coachella performance and her behind-the-scenes preparations, which lasted for a full 8 months, for it. Aside from starring in it, she is also the director, writer and producer of the film. Though her performance was definitely everyone’s takeaway, it should also be emphasised how Beyoncé became the voice for the oppressed black women. Like her, you can create your followers and believers by knowing how you can use your stature, what you can change and what mark you want to live in society. Beyoncé’s well aware of her talents. She isn’t afraid to mix her craft with her advocacies. She knows that by doing so she can influence others to be self-confident, stand up, and do what’s right. BEST MOMENTS “There’s no contradiction in being grateful and chasing down abundance at the same time.” “She says that God has blessed her and all of us, in her view, has a duty to repay that by maximising every talent we got.” “It doesn’t have to be a specific personal development literature. The good stuff is everywhere around us if we look for it.” VALUABLE RESOURCES HOMECOMING: A Film by Beyoncé | Netflix ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

It's Seems Like A Long Time Ago That I Was Sacked Twice In One Week - THE UPDATE

Risk = Reward Today on The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan gives you an update on a story he shared on a previous episode. For those who may need a review about what happened, he got sacked by two of his mentees in just a week. He wasn’t expecting it, but instead of being disgruntled about it, he remained patient. He waited and waited to let things be clear unto him before taking any reckless acts. And, as the universe permits, things turned out the way he liked them to be! Everything’s worth the risk. Discover how these mentor-mentee relationships were salvaged and remained fruitful when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gavan is unapologetically assertive for supporting and assisting you achieve your goals. Your mentor should be also. Look for someone that can make you get out of your comfort zone. Choose someone who can take risks to get you to take risks. Though some might not be used to getting out of their own shells, understand that your mentor knows what’s best for you and what you could do to grasp it. Open your mind and learn to be resilient. Practice what you preach. Gavan himself remained patient despite the refusal of communication from the mentees. He still wanted to help them despite what happened. And, as things unfold by themselves, he saw progress-his mentees were started reaching their targets and they began acknowledging how Gavan has helped them. BEST MOMENTS “Life is all about taking risks.” “The greater the risk, the greater the reward if you can pull it off.” “Do it right now. Don’t second guess yourself.

Fake It Until You Make It Is Total Bollox

‘Fake it until you make it.’ We’ve heard it all before, but can faking really bring you the success you want? Gavan argues that you can’t. You might get lucky, but what you get might not bring you the happiness, fulfilment, and satisfaction. How can you be when you’re inauthentic to yourself, anyways? Pretending to be someone, copying someone’s behaviour, and basing your end goal on what people say can be exhausting. Stop. Start discovering today on The Speed Mentor Podcast how you can truly accept and be yourself while you chase for what you want. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being true to yourself is your ultimate move; your uniqueness is your primary capital. It what sets you apart from your competitors. Recognise this and start thinking of how you can put out great content, products, and services based on who you are, what you want, and what they need. The copycats, the fakers, the wannabes, or whatever you want to call them are most likely to be caught of their inauthenticity. People can see through your actions-how empty are your messages and how you blindside them. Develop your strengths rather than looking at other people to copy. Stop comparing yourself. BEST MOMENTS “If you want to succeed, you must be authentic.” The problem with faking it is it becomes so easy to continue doing that.” “Make your vulnerabilities your superpower.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Logan’s Run by William F.

How to Build Stronger Relationships

No one traverses his own (yes, even his own) journey alone! In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan gives us useful tips on how to build stronger relationship. We should nurture every relationship to make sure it’s healthy and we get the benefits from it – all the support, compassion, and help we need. We can’t be lax on how we treat people we value and who value us in return. It requires effort and understanding (above all else) from both parties. Learn today 15 things that you should remind yourself every time you build a new relationship and grow an existing one. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be genuinely interested in the outcomes of other people. Smile. When you exude positive energy, people believe that they must give back the same level of energy. Remember that a person’s name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language. In any conversations, it’s easier to get the full attention of the other person if we address them with their name from time to time. Listen. It’s your ultimate superpower. Check out a previous The Speed Mentor Podcast episode about this below. Never backstab. How do you approach every individual you encounter? Are you nit-picking at people all the time? Encourage them rather than degrade them because of their mistakes. Lead by example. Hone their skills and teach them everything so they could improve themselves. Treat people fairly. Don’t condemn anyone. it’s not your job to judge what’s right and wrong. Everything is energy. Showcase the person at every opportunity. Give praises to your colleagues, employees, partners, etc. if you see improvements. BEST MOMENTS “No susceptible journey has ever been done alone.” “The successful are successful because they realise that the more people they positively impact, the more positive stuff will flow direct to them.” “Your reward when you do this will be huge if you can create future leaders rather than followers.” VALUABLE RESOURCES How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie The Speed Mentor Podcast: It's Time To Release Your Very Own Superpower, LISTENING, And Then Watch Your Outcomes Flourish | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

How to Identify The Best Mentor For YOU

Many successful entrepreneurs, thought leaders, motivational speakers, and so on are offering their mentoring services these days. It’s getting hard to pick one and you definitely can’t do it randomly. Who you choose MUST connect with you, aside from the guiding, teaching, and supporting aspect of it. Gavan’s top advice to reduce your choices is to do your research. After this, it becomes easier to see what won’t work for you. In today’s episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, you’ll hear the 14 great tips to choose the best one. Make sure to remember these as your mentor will help you be accountable and push you forward to achieve your goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Check their social media for credibility. There is no hiding place these days. Most are connected online. Your mentor must have experienced what you are experiencing and about to go through. Make sure that your mentor is on a growth journey themselves. Get a mentor who offers a time-bond program. Goals and expectations should be genuinely challenging. Acknowledge that you need the best mentor to be the best version of yourself. There’s a broad spectrum where mentors will come from. Try to consider as many as you can. A good mentor will not be afraid to hold you accountable and challenge you. There are differences between a coach, a mentor, and a successful person. They employ people who have skill sets greater than their own. Does he evidence that anyone can be successful? He can introduce you to mastermind groups. “Free advice is often overpriced.” Pick a mentor that you want to be like. BEST MOMENTS “There are all sorts of relationships that are productive for personal and business growth.” “Smart people learn from their mistakes, but successful people learn from mistakes of others.” “Their job is to pull you up to where they are.” “If your mentor doesn’t believe that we all have huge potential and he can’t see and embrace that, then they will hold you back.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Speed Mentor Podcast: How To Be The Perfect Mentee To Get More From Your Mentoring | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher The Speed Mentor Podcast: From Mentee to J.V. | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Then, let him and the world know what you have achieved when you do things right away. KEY TAKEAWAYS For every year, prepare a list of 50 feats you want to achieve. Commit to doing them, maybe one feat per week. You just have to make time and put your unwavering energy when you do them. It’s good to write down your accomplishments, from the littlest to the grandest, so you know where you stand. You become more aware of your potential and you also get motivated to do more.

Could A Book on Marketing Be Worth -1000 Dollars

Jay Abraham is one of the well-known marketers in the 1970s. His proven methods were compiled and made into a book, Stealth Marketing or Recession Proofing Your Business.  There’s a bunch of reasons this book sells even with its staggering price of $1, 000. Gavan, your host, has recently started reading it and is ready to share a few things that he has gotten in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast. He gives us a bite-size and yet very informative overview. Discover today the Top 10 Marketing Mistakes and how you should avoid them, tips on systematisation, and some advice for your campaigns coined by Jay Abraham.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  In the second chapter of the book, Jay wrote about 10 marketing mistakes that people do. As long as you can reduce it to two, you’re all good. Here are what you should avoid:  Not testing.  Running institutional advertising instead of direct response.  Failure to deliver a unique selling proposition (USP).  Not having a back end.  Failing to determine your customers’ needs.  Forgetting or never recognising that you have to sell and educate your way out of a business problem.  Failing to do business with your company easy, desirable, and fun.  You cannot service too much.  You cannot educate enough.  You cannot inform too much.  You cannot offer too much.  You cannot make ordering too easy.  You cannot make calling or coming into your business too desirable.  Failing to tell your customers the reason.  Not sticking with marketing campaigns that are still working.  Forgetting to focus on the intended customer when preparing ads, TV commercials, or mailings.  Jay Abraham’s pieces of advice for your campaigns:  Get your target audience’s attention with the headline.  State your offer.  Persuade your prospect.  Call to action (CTA).  BEST MOMENTS  “The producers of this world have great value and the consumers of this world don’t have that value.”  “How do we put a marketing question to a vote? By testing one sales approach to another, one price against another, one ad concept against another, one headline against another…”  “Compel people to buy then take action.”  “You got to make your relationship with your company easy and enjoyable.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Stealth Marketing or Recession Proofing Your Business by Jay Abraham  ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Stop Complaining & Moaning And Watch Your Life Transform

Aren’t you tired of hearing yourself complain about your life? For sure, people around you are. No one really wants to hear about toxicity every single day.  You need to stop complaining.  In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan gives you 10 reasons you need to stop complaining and moaning. Instead of venting out to your co-worker, why don’t you change your mindset and behaviour about your issues? Your life will surely transform when you react to things differently. Discover what you can do and how can this benefit you today.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  10 Reasons You Need To Stop Complaining:  It will not solve anything anyway.  Complaining is like mogwais in the Gremlins movie. Once they get wet, they multiply, and they take over.  People avoid complainers.  Complainers are like birds of the same feather; they flock together. You’ll mostly see them huddled up in one area moaning about their boring job or filthy boss.  Complaining solves nothing. It only makes things worse.  If you stop complaining, you build and grow relationships.  Complaining kills gratitude.  You prevent yourself from being happy. It’s also easier to find solutions when your focus is on overcoming the challenge and getting to the end goal.  Complaining prevents growth.  It’s a bad look, especially if you post it online.  BEST MOMENTS  “Get yourself out of that shit before your life becomes consumed by it.”  “Without gratitude, there is nothing. When you’re moaning, you’re missing out on your blessings.”  “You subconsciously look for the pain points because you like to complain.”  “If you can’t say anything nice and constructive, don’t say anything at all.”  ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.

Max The Opportunity When You're An Attendee At Events

If you’re not showing up to networking events, then you’re missing out on something big.  We’ve already established in the past episodes that successful entrepreneurs didn’t reach the peak on their own. They got help and support from their support groups, their mentors, and other like-minded people. And if you ask where they met some of them, the answer is obvious-it’s during networking events. In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan encourages you to attend and to max the opportunities you’ll get from the events. He gives the nine stages you need to go through as an attendee so you’ll have the best experience. Not only do you gain knowledge, you also expand your network after it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nine Stages of A Successful Attendee: Stage 1: Start attending events, network with other people, and showcase your experience in your social media. Stage 2: Overcome fear and impostor syndrome. Most of the attendees may have already experienced or are experiencing this. It’s normal, but if you keep attending these kinds of events, it will gradually, or maybe instantly, go away. Stage 3: If possible, go on your own. When you go by yourself, you have no other choice but to interact with new people. Stage 4: Research about the guest speakers and the topics that will be discussed beforehand. You get to ask more questions or add more value to the discussion. This will also get you noticed by the host and other people. Stage 5: Take part fully in the whole event, not only during discussions. There will be icebreakers and team-building activities in between. Show enthusiasm as this gives a lasting impression to others. Stage 6: Get cards from other people. Store their contact info in your phone and connect with them in their social media after the event. Stage 7: Have a good time, but don’t go on a drinking spree. Stage 8: Make sure that your notes will be accessible when you need it. If you’ve written them down on paper, encode them or take a picture of them, and put them on the cloud. Don’t just let them sit inside your drawer. Stage 9: Do a review. Would you go again to the event if you get the chance? Did you learn a lot? Were you able to expand your network?  BEST MOMENTS “The really successful people are probably at a one event per week.” “If you’ve done some prep, whenever they start engaging with the audience and the moment comes around where there is awkward silence and you become the person to fill it, you’ll be remembered fondly.” “It’s not about you handing yours; it’s about sucking in stuff from other people.” ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Sometimes You Simply Have To Hang On By Your Fingernails Before The Solutions Start To Open Up

Don’t give up, even though you see zero to minimal chances of getting back up. There are still ways on how you can reclaim your power and continue building your legacy. They may have not crossed your mind because of all your worries and doubts about the future. Believe that solutions will start showing up! Gavan shares in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast what he had to do just to not give up any of his projects. Truly, it’s devastating to let something fail. Learn how you can still save that passion project or enterprise of yours when you tune in. KEY TAKEAWAYS 10 Little Breakthroughs Gavan Had When He Was Juggling Stuff: Collaborate with other people. Considering that The Speed Mentor Podcast releases daily episodes, sometimes, coming up with new topics gets difficult. Good thing that Gavan and Matthew Thompson are going to have special episodes for their podcasts. This immediately helped him lessen his load. Working on his Project ‘X’ has helped him lessen the pressure on producing content for the podcast. Every episode doesn’t have to be a work of art. It doesn’t have to give the solutions to the big problems. Think of it as a companion to people who are starting their entrepreneur journey. Don’t be so anal of what goes into each episode. Let your horizon expand. It doesn’t have to be so niche. He doesn’t have to spend so much time preparing for each episode. Everything needs balance. Now he has time for his other work and family. He used to record the episodes in a batch of 5, but this creates more pressure. Gavan now does it at his own pace and if his surroundings (e.g. no noise) will allow. He delegated some of his work. Some people will just on the sidelines and not offer help. Expect nothing. And be wary. Some would rush towards you as soon as they see you achieving success. The greatest leaders accept that they can be vulnerable. BEST MOMENTS “Those little breakthroughs can come if you’re resilient enough.” “The best leaders evidence vulnerability.” “Just as I think I can handle no more, things start falling into place.” “once you start and others see what you’re doing and you’re adding value to the world… it’s truly amazing how tiny things can come together to help you achieve what you thought is impossible.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Wall Group VRCityX – Belfast’s VR Arcade Matt Thompson Podcast Dare to Lead – Brene Brown ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

If The 'Working 9 to 5' Mindset Is Killing You, I Can Help

Tired, stressed, and burned out? Today, we put a halt on those complaints about your 9 to 5 job.  In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan helps you gain new perspectives about your work. Is it something you really want? Is it giving you fulfilment? Will it get you to your ultimate goal? Let’s shake things up and finally see the opportunities outside where you’re in. Learn why you should reconsider and know what you should do if you find yourself stuck in this situation. Maybe it’s high time you take the leap. KEY TAKEAWAYS Telltale signs that the 9 to 5 work is NOT for you! You think you have something bigger meant for you than this. Your subconscious knows that you shouldn’t be stuck in your 9 to 5 job.  You always have these small business ideas or passion projects. Your mind wanders to the possibilities of using creativity and innovation to start anew. You compare yourself to others. You imagine yourself in their place with the success and happiness they’re having. You feel the need to ‘de-stress’ after your work. You feel no sense of contentment in your work, so you resort to end the day with alcohol, for example. You’re struggling to concentrate during the day. You don’t have the motivation so you become lazy and unproductive in work.   You’re more excited about your side hustle than your 9 to 5 work. BEST MOMENTS “Happiness is the true metric in which all else is judged.” “The weekend warrior syndrome is the strong signal that you’re unfulfilled in your working life.” “Your parents might still try to push you down on that route of a professional career as the be-all and the end-all, but opportunities have been democratised in so many ways.” ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

It's Time To Release Your Very Own Superpower, LISTENING, And Then Watch Your Outcomes Flourish

Social interactions are what we do daily as entrepreneurs, but somehow, some of us still have not mastered the art of it. Effective communication is vital if you want to build partnerships or just grow your following. Know that you hold the key to make this happen, and it starts with listening. In this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan teaches you how to listen effectively and actively. People undermine this skill, but the truth is when you’ve harnessed your superpower of listening, nothing can go wrong. It’s easier to influence, to bring value to people, and to reach your goal. Listening involves hearing, understanding, processing, and properly responding to the other party, verbally and non-verbally. Discover more when you listen. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are too many distractions in our surroundings, and they’re keeping it difficult to actively listen to who you’re communicating with. Gavan suggests you practise meditation as it helps you easily detach from these. Show your concern for others. There might be much bigger problems than yours. If your aim is to make a valuable impact on someone, then the act of listening to their concerns becomes effortless. “Listening is an art that requires attention over talent, spirit over ego, others over self.” – Dean Jackson Understand what the other party is saying. Don’t rush into judgment and give comments uncalled for. Be patient – your opinion will be asked, eventually. Non-verbal communication is as important as verbal communication. Establish eye contact right away. If it’s face-to-face, then the use of mobile phones should be at minimal unless needed. There’s nothing more displeasing than to make the person unwelcomed. BEST MOMENTS “Listening is a superpower.” “When we ACTUALLY listen, we are going much much deeper when we’re processing, receiving and understanding everything that goes with the words and sounds.” “Leaders need to be empathic, and to be empathetic, you need to listen and be present.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Headspace Meditation App ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Hosting Your Own Events Is A Huge Building Block To If You Want To Raise Your Profile And Build Your Brand

There’s nothing more effective to engage with your followers and build trust with them than meeting them face to face. Organising an event isn’t as easy as you think. There are many things to take into consideration before you host your own event, so in this episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares everything you need to know-from marketing to selling to documenting the whole event.  To share value with other people is such a fulfilling act, aside from the fact that you also elevate your position in your niche. Start learning so you can successfully host your own event! KEY TAKEAWAYS Things To Consider Before Organising Your Own Event: Make sure you’ve built your personal and social capital in social media. It’s easier to disseminate information and sell tickets when you’ve already established your presence in social media. Use FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to increase your ticket sales. Offer an early bird rate for a limited time. Success isn’t based on whether you sell out your event. It should be based on whether you have delivered your objectives effectively. No matter what the event is about, aim to take the attendees outside of their comfort zone. Consider looking at niche areas. Try collaborating with other entrepreneurs and hold even a micro-event. Surprise the public with the possibilities of collaborations. Document your event so you can make a showreel that you can use in your next events. If you’re running on a limited budget, get creative on your marketing strategies. You can offer free tickets to a few who can help make some noise on the social media to get the interest of others. Check out what other events are happening in your area. The last thing you want is competing with an event that’s very similar to yours. Partner with someone if you don’t have the means to do the logistics, market, and sell tickets. Grab the opportunity to signpost your attendees into your wider ecosystem. Get their contact information so you can include them in your mailing list. Get sponsorship from companies to help you with your other needs. Don’t be afraid to approach them, since most likely your event will be a good avenue to also market their products and services. Partner with a charity, so your help and support also extend to those who are at a disadvantage. BEST MOMENTS “It’s a waste of time waiting for a top-down solution as it’s unlikely to ever arrive. We need to mount a velvet glove revolution from the ground up.” “The ability to do these things have been democratised with the dawn of social media.” “If you worry that you can put up an event, just start smaller.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Speed Mentor Podcast: Want to Maximise The Impact of Your CSR and Charitable Work, Here’s How! | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Learn From Edwin Barnes, A True Rags To Riches Story

“There is but one thing in this world that I am determined to have, and that is a business association with Thomas A. Edison. I will burn all bridges behind me and stake my entire future on my ability to get what I want.” Are you determined as Edwin C. Barnes? For those who aren’t aware, Barnes achieved this goal if his-he could work the greatest investor of all time. From nothing, he could get where he wanted to be. There were doubts and rejection from people around him, but he didn’t let them distract him. He persevered, saved up some money, grabbed the opportunity, mustered the courage to pitch to Thomas Edison, and finally partner with him. Very inspiring. Discover more about Edwin C. Barnes’ story when you tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS Edwin Barnes wasn’t rich and didn’t have any established network who can help him. But he said to himself that he’ll be working with Thomas Edison, the greatest inventor, whether or not he likes it.  “Massive action put you where good luck will find you.” Barnes was very determined to make this happen. When the opportunity finally knocked on his door, he instantly grabbed it. He’s got nothing, but he saved up all his earnings just to aid in selling Edison’s Dictating Machine.  “I do not wear thirty-one suits of clothes entirely for the impression they make on other people; I do it mostly for the impression they have on me.” – Edwin C. Barnes Edison’s dictating machine sold thousands of pieces. It grew rapidly that he had to establish his own business, Edwin C. Barnes and Brothers, to keep up with the demand. BEST MOMENTS “How many of you have one foot in commitment and the other foot in the safety of land?” “You can’t achieve anything of significance if you don’t have a plan and a made-up mind just like Barnes’.” “We all have this ability inside us.

Room 101 For Corporate Speak

Welcome back to The Speed Mentor Podcast! In this episode, Gavan gives us the top 10 overused expressions in the corporate world. Some of these you may have a heard a couple of times that they already have lost their meaning in you. Some of these jargons you’ll think twice if they still serve their purpose anymore in a corporate sense. Start tuning in so you can start judging if they still belong in Room 101 for Corporate Speak. For beginners, today’s discussion serves as a good introduction to the corporate world! KEY TAKEAWAYS “Socialise it.” In business, it means to get people to agree with. “There’s no ‘I’ in team.” We only encounter this statement when we experience no teamwork in the team. “Let’s circle back.” This is just a code to move on to the next subject and discuss it on the next meeting. “Open-door policy.” If we’re being honest, we only choose the information we want to disclose when this happens. “Joined-up thinking.” Whenever they want to brainstorm about complex ideas, they use this statement. “Stakeholders.” There’s a stakeholder analysis, a technique used to identify who are the stakeholders. “Think outside the box.” This was used to make something edgy but this have gone meaningless now. “I don’t have the bandwidth.” Some people used this when they want to say that they don’t have the time and energy to waste it to some task. “Ideas czar.” “Low-hanging fruit.” It means the easiest stuff to do. BEST MOMENTS “Let’s discuss it once, make a decision, and get on the next matter on the agenda.” “There’s value in the term stakeholder even if some use it to make themselves sound important.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t by Simon Sinek ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

If You Want Productive Kids, Here's The Hack For You

Time management is something that should be taught to kids as early as possible. This teaches them how to value time and give importance to what they use it for.  Today on The Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan shares how he opens his kids’ eyes to the importance of time so they know how to use it wisely. For those with hectic schedules, Gavan shows us how he spends his time with his family. It might also be a great influence to the kids if they see from their parents how no-nonsense they are in being productive. Discover more hacks you can try when you tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Gavan makes sure that when he sees a free time in his schedule, he spends quality time with each of his kids. Every kid gets a half-hour time slot, which he and the kids plan together. This kind of practice also teaches them about time management.  Spend your work breaks with your kids. It helps you boost your energy that got depleted from working, aside from strengthening your bond with them.  Don’t bring the stress of work into your own home. What Gavan does is before he gets off his car and enters the house, he takes two minutes to visualise first how he wants to spend the next couple of hours with his family.  BEST MOMENTS  “Productivity and the can-do attitude can take you far and provide abundance for you and those around you.”  “Share your time really well, rather than just be in present with them.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES  The Speed Mentor Podcast: Stop Kissing Frogs & Start Eating Them | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher  The Speed Mentor Podcast: Nail Your Morning Routine | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher  The Five Elements of the 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins  ABOUT THE HOST  Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.  Do you want success and abundance in your life?!  Do you want to hear how to achieve it?  Then you’ve come to the right place where the world’s only Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall will mainline you with micro bite-sized chunks of inspiration fused with knowledge, built into a daily routine to help you deliver success.  After walking away, a decade ago from his gilded life as a leading Barrister and property investor, Gavan Wall started his entrepreneurial career in inauspicious circumstances as he lost everything in the property crash.  But he refused to give up, re-building a financial fortress from scratch, until now he leads multiple successful multi-million £ companies across FMCG, Franchise, Tech, Property and Mentoring.  He’s the Speed Mentor and serial entrepreneur, who shares with you all the breadcrumbs of success and just as importantly the failures.
