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’
