Posted by | Nov 26, 2017 | |

STEVE MATTHEWS INTERVIEWS GAVIN BRADBURY Welcome to another Up Close & Personal for our monthly look into the life of an entrepreneur as part of our Renegade Magazine and Podcast. Today I have with me another great friend of mine! I think I’ve introduced every one of my interviews that way as I’m blessed to have such a close group of friends that happen to be extraordinary business owners. This gentleman is no exception to that. I met Gavin just a little over 12 months ago when we joined a Mastermind Group run by Dave Dean. His legendary passion...

It’s ok to give yourself a break and go with the flow some days… Let’s be honest, we all have them. We all love the good days, a great sale, a target we have been chasing for ages suddenly comes in from nowhere. The old London bus syndrome, waiting for one and then three come at once.

STEVE MATTHEWS INTERVIEWS DARREN JAMES Welcome to another edition of Up Close & Personal! We’re in my kitchen, where we are surrounded by tea, coffee and homemade Welsh cakes. This month I have a great friend, Darren James with me, who’s a founding member of Renegades, but more personally to me, he’s a member of my Mastermind Group. He’s been able to pour his years of knowledge and experience into me and for that, I’m eternally grateful. I guess we’re all at different stages in our business development and I think I can say that Darren is in the...

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN TO

Why who you allow in your inner circle is so important! “Show me who you hang with and I will show you who you are”. That was a powerful quote that I heard the great Tony Robbins discuss with the famous music producer Pitbull on one of his Pod casts the other day… John Maxwell puts it another way… You will become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with… The gravity of these two quotes is not lost on me. As a parent we are always wary of the peer groups that our children...
