Who Am I

Welcome to www.gavinweber.com!  I am very excited and grateful that you are here.  I’m also so looking forward to building a meaningful relationship with you.

So Who in the world is Gavin Weber?

Well, I’m an entrepreneur, a mentor, a dad, a husband, a brother, a son, and hopefully a new friend of yours now.  I play many of these roles just like you, yet ultimately I know I am a LIMITLESS Being remembering my way toward what is truly possible and what really matters in life.

Since I can remember, I have had this KNOWING that I came here to play a big game (as they say) and to blow this life out of the water.  I am extremely passionate about following my dreams, living from unlimited possibility, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

Why I Created This Blog

I created this blog because I have come to realize what I enjoy most is serving people toward realizing their true power and fully experience what is possible by recreating their thinking about themselves and their lives. 

I have helped many people accomplish new levels of awareness and possibility through individual mentoring, group mentoring, and business mentoring.  Experientially reconnecting people with their passion, their purpose, and the belief in themselves to do ANYTHING is my purpose in life and I absolutely love being it.  It’s who I am, and this blog provides me the opportunity to share on a much grander scale.

In a nutshell, I believe that when someone accomplishes or achieves something they previously thought was very difficult or impossible, their mind expands and opens up to further possibility.  When a person does this enough times their whole paradigm on how life works COMPLETELY changes and they begin to VIEW everything from a new set of eyes.  I call what I do Possibility Mentoring because I help facilitate people going from where they are now to a completely different knowing of what is possible for themselves.

Mentoring

As a mentor, I provide support, guidance, and love in order to help people overcome their fears and blocks empowering them to keep moving toward the life they came here to live.  And that is exactly what I will be doing on this blog.

One major reason I feel guided to mentor people, is because I have gone through the struggle and can relate on a heartfelt level.  I have had the dark nights, the devastating feeling that often comes with failure, the fear that my life won’t ever get better, the worry that I can’t pay my bills, the disappointment that my efforts continue to fall short, and on and on.  Essentially, I have been through what we all go through toward rediscovering our true selves. 

I have had major highs with the birth of my children and major lows when due to my actions we were almost homeless.  I have been happy at times and I have been extremely depressed.  Simply said, I have experienced the roller coaster of life firsthand and I know the way out of that hopeless game.

My Path To San Diego

Fast forward a few years to now.  I live in Southern California after my wife and I decided five years ago that this was our dream place to live.  At that time, I owned a successful real estate company in the Midwest and had traveled out to San Diego for a seminar with a coaching company. 

I vividly remember the taxi ride from the airport that first time I landed.  The San Diego airport is right next to downtown and right near the water.  It was absolutely gorgeous and the ocean breeze with a hint of saltwater filled my nostrils while I viewed hundreds of elegant sailboats in the harbor.  I was hooked!

I brought my wife back a year later to the next seminar and while we were boarding the plane back to Indianapolis, we looked at each other, smiled, and she said “why do I feel like we are supposed to live here”?  Although she was the one who said it, I was thinking the same thing.  Well, as you can imagine that not only felt crazy to say, but it was even crazier that we were actually considering it.  The possibility of following our dream of living in a warm weather city near the ocean entered our realm, and we felt like we were on top of the world until…

All the things that stop people’s dreams started surfacing for us.  The doubt, the questions, the supposed reality (ha), and just the apparent insanity of it all smacked us upside the head.  Why was it crazy?  Well, we were beginning to think it wasn’t all that crazy any more and we actually started believing it was possible.  The catch…we were pretty much the only ones who thought it was a good idea, LOL. 

Here is what we heard over and over again every time we shared it with anyone. Your friends are here.  Your family is near here.  You have tons of clients here.  You don’t know anyone there.  Your kids like it here.  Your kids are too young.  You are being irresponsible.  You make a lot of money here.  California is very expensive.  You won’t be able to have the same life style.  You could fail.  You don’t have a job there.  You don’t have enough money saved up.  Your wife is pregnant with your third child. 

On and on it went, and it was amazing to see not only our fears come up, but other people’s fear came up too and they weren’t even the ones moving.  Some of these were our doubts although almost everyone seemed to want to WAKE US UP from the crazy thing most people would never consider which for us happened to be moving across the country with three young kids, no job, and barely any money saved.

All the reasons were there regarding why NOT to do it, BUT we had one big reason to go and it was beyond HUGE – we knew without a shadow of a doubt that we were supposed to BE in San Diego.  We KNEW that was the next step on our journey and really for the first time in both of our lives we said, “Let’s do this.”  We listened to our intuition and we CHOSE to GO FOR IT!  We said let’s do what most people think is crazy but would secretly love to do.  Let’s show ourselves and other people what is POSSIBLE by going for our dream.

Guess what? 

We freaking did it. 

First, I told my real estate clients we would be moving and my business dried up like an old tomato (that was a little scary).  I told my friends that we would be moving, and they started distancing themselves for what I realize now was the inevitable drifting.  Then we put our house on the market and sold it right before Thanksgiving.  In one day I flew to San Diego, interviewed for a job, got hired, and flew back.  We had our third child, Pierson, and with him being only 10 weeks old, I traveled to San Diego without my family to start my new job while my wife cared for our two daughters/newborn son, packed the house, dealt with all the doubters, and did it masterfully (yes, she is amazing which is why I snagged her twelve years ago, and it has been the best decision of my life).

I flew home a few days before Christmas in 2007, closed on the house, packed the truck, and drove back to California in a Penske truck with my mom who drove our Minivan for us.  Magan, my wife, and the kids flew on a plane, and I picked them up from the airport. 

And so started our life in San Diego.  It was crazy but we have never looked back!

I shared this story to show you what is possible when you follow your heart and your dreams.  Our reason for moving out here was greater than all the obstacles that we faced, and we did it.  It wasn’t easy.  In fact, looking back we were down right loony, yet I feel our souls have loved every minute of the ride.

If I am being honest with you, then I must share that the next few years proved to be rather bumpy.  The market crashed in 2008, and my job didn’t manage to pay for my bills.  We lost just about everything except each other.  Looking back I am extremely grateful for that experience too because we gained SO MUCH more than we could have ever imagined.  We experienced the resolve and confidence that we can do unimaginable things, and it felt unbelievably powerful and gratifying. 

This story and what is possible is exactly why I am here sharing this with you right now.  We all have this possibility in us.  Magan and I don’t pretend to be special.  We simply had a dream bigger than our fears, took action, and dealt with the crap while not allowing anything to stop us.  I am here to remind, here to help, here to support as many people as I possibly can to live the life that, down deep, they know is possible!

My Intention

I plan to help as many people as I can, live from a new vision for what is possible.  I know that when people expand their thinking and grow, they evolve into their true self and end up helping other people do the same.  When one person goes and demonstrates their greatness, everyone notices, and it shifts their perspective too.  When enough people experience this, it will change the world because lack won’t exist anymore – just the possibility of even more abundance, more joy, and most of all pure LOVE.  After all, that is really all there IS!

Hopefully you can now better understand and actually feel why I am so passionate about what I have come here to do.  The thought of not doing it almost feels like I would be dying.  It is my intention to partner with you on this journey we call life.  Together, we get to experience, demonstrate, show, help, guide, and support one another to live from possibility and to live our dreams.  Essentially, together we get to experience who we really are through one another.

What Makes Me Qualified

I won’t claim that I am a huge multimillionaire to try to get your attention and admiration.  It wouldn’t be true nor is it all that important.  I also won’t pretend and tell you that I have everything completely figured out.  What I can share with you though is this simple yet profound statement…I AM HAPPY.  I also know how to GO FOR IT.  I know what both HAPPINESS and GOING FOR IT look like, and I know how to get there.

Since I was a little boy, it has been very natural for me to connect with people, to identify with them, and to share my truth in a manner that would bring new possibility to their circumstances.  When my parents used to have their friends over, instead of playing with the other children, I was always with the adults engaging in conversation and finding out more about about them.  In college, I was a Psychology major because I was fascinated by understanding why people behaved the way they did.  I enjoyed studying the motivations and the fears behind certain actions, and it gave me great insight into what people desire most from their lives.

My mindset consists of an entrepreneurial mindset.  I have been intrigued by people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs not only because of what they accomplished, but because I noticed they think completely different than most people.  I began to develop a positive, anything is possible attitude which also helped me be successful in all of the sports I have ever played and understand what it means to work with other people to accomplish a goal.

In my business life, I started a Real Estate company and sold $7,000,000 in sales revenue within two years working completely by referral.  I have been in charge of corporate offices with as many as 20 employees on my team while being responsible for a $5,000,000 a year sales budget.  Further, I have been a successful Sales Manager by understanding exactly what motivates people and how to effectively mentor them in order to get the results they truly want.  In addition, I have had private individual coaching clients for sales people, entrepreneurs, and people who simply want to improve their life.

Prior to moving to San Diego, I started a coaching company called Envisage Ventures and facilitated a 3 month group coaching experience that I called “The Journey.”  It was a very powerful way for people to fully understand where they currently were, how they got there, what they need to do differently, where they intend to go, guidance toward creating their dream life, and overcoming their perceived limitations.  It consisted of individual coaching along with group experiential exercises.  Participants had major breakthroughs that opened them up to what was possible and allowed them to operate from a completely new perspective.

Just as importantly, I have failed in many of the businesses I started.  I understand the heartache, disappointment, and financial struggle that can come about from taking risk.  I have started many a business that either never got off the ground or never made enough of a profit.  Some were great ideas and some were just plain dumb.  I am forever indebted for each of these so called failures.  In fact, I label them as “learning opportunities” because I learned far more from what didn’t work than from what did.  Many of the successful ideas that I have had were gained from the ideas that did not exactly go as planned.

Quite frankly, both the events in life that are labeled as successful or failure are all part of the journey toward where we want to go.  What makes me different than most people is that every time I have ever fallen short of my intention I have licked my wounds and continued onward.  This is where the possibility mindset begins to form.  The only way people don’t ever see what is possible for their life is because they are afraid of failing and never even attempt to go for it.  In my opinion, that is just completely unacceptable!

Commonly, what people label as “success” involves money, materialism, and just the attainment of stuff like clothes-cars-houses.  The area that I am most proud and the area I feel like I have the most to offer is to show people what true happiness really is.  Most of the time people are chasing a result that they believe will MAKE them happy.  This is an empty road of constantly chasing and falling short because there is no substance behind it, just striving.  The simple trick (or secret if you will) is to be happy first and allow everything to unfold from there.

I now understand that I have everything that really matters.  I have an amazing relationship with my wife.  I honor who she is and have felt privileged to share the journey of life with her.  We have three wonderful children that will be raised to bring their gifts and significance to the world.  We live in a gorgeous part of the world.  We have extraordinary friends who are simply good people many of which are making monumental contributions to the world.  I feel like I have it ALL already, and I intend to help other people to realize that truth for themselves.  A balanced person lives a healthy life, develops empowering relationships, consciously chooses to grow, finds ways to connect with their truth, and makes the intention to go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole in order to see all that is possible regarding abundance, love, and joy.  I am here to convey that there are only UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES!

Pursuing your dreams is solely about fulfilling your purpose and following what you love to do rather than the illusion that some level of attainment will bring you peace or happiness.  I have spent the better part of the last 15 years consciously growing, understanding my purpose, living from joy, understanding abundance, and essentially just learning over and over again to enjoy my life in every manner possible.  This is the real gift of life that I intend to help facilitate people experiencing.

See you again soon… on the road to Unlimited Possibility!
