THOUGHTONOMY preventing you from fulfilling your potential ,” he explains .
The first part of ‘ Thoughtonomy ’ unpacks how the conditioned thinking that defines your actions may not even be yours to begin with . It has readers questioning the origins of many of their strongly-held beliefs about themselves and the world around them . This is followed by a simple four-step programme designed to empower the reader to take back control of their thoughts and emotions and , ultimately , their level of happiness and fulfilment in life .
His book ’ s lessons are down-toearth , relatable and authentic and apply to everything from entrepreneurship , business and management to relationships , parenting , family life and personal development . Gavin draws on inspirational , often emotional , story-telling as well as his own personal experiences of starting out his journey as a young property business owner with zero confidence in his abilities .
He believes that the world has undergone a seismic shift over the past three years and that many real estate agents could well find themselves in a similar debilitating mindset as he did when he initially set out to mould his own career .
“ Many property professionals battle with change and keep relying on outdated training , thinking and activities . They battle to adapt to the changing dynamics of the market and society and , because change is uncomfortable , they stay in their comfort zones and convince themselves that it is just the way they are . This is not true . It is just the way that they think they are . The book will get them to question everything they believe to be true , especially all the thoughts that are not serving them well . We see the world as we perceive it to be true . Change is possible for anyone ,” he says .
Gavin ’ s three important messages for fellow property professionals :
• Don ’ t label or judge how you think the market will be in 2023 . The market is the market . Rather adjust your activities to the shift in the market .
• Always keep working on yourself . Meaningful change
