Passion for Business is something Matt Kendall knows plenty about.  His tips for starting a business are generously shared in this interview.  Owning your own business is the dream of many and the achievement of few.  

Getting started can be fuelled by enthusiasm, but sustaining that drive when the going gets tough is a different matter and one that Matt guides us through.  

What super impressed us about  is that Matt Kendall ‘consistently’ makes money in all the businesses he starts – not a very common story! 

An entrepreneur himself,  Matt Kendall delights in setting up businesses for fun – with the crucial caveat that they must ‘always’ be profitable.  

One of his main ventures is his London event company ‘Interesting Talks’ where, up to 8 times a month, he offers a platform for speakers on topics that cover business, personal development, psychology and as he says, ‘interesting things’.   

So if you have ever wanted to start your own business, or you are struggling to make a business pay for itself then stay tuned as Matt enlightens us on where most of us go wrong and what we need to do to create Business and Entrepreneurial Success.  

Be warned Matt is direct, to the point and 'says it like it is' which could well save a lot of us from taking wrong turns and wasting time and money on our way to Success.  You are in for an informative and entertaining hour for sure!  

So whether you want an on-line or off-line business, a home or office based business, a one-man band or plans for a Richard Branson type global empire - you can delve into this conversation and come up with something juicy to move you forward.

Be brave and share your businesses successes and not such successes with us and maybe we can all learn a thing or to.

A dream which filled many hours for Mark Baeder, until he finally walked away from a corporate finance job to create a 'business start up' from his passion for mountain biking.  Mark was one of the many people who are finding corporate life is not all it is cracked up to be and set aside some time to allow in a little fresh thinking.  

It is said that whatever the mind can conceive, then it can achieve.  This was definitely true for this young man.  Being unprepared to sell his soul to corporate life in exchange for a few years in retirement, Mark decided instead to saddle up and head out on a new trail, figuratively and literally.  With careful planning and due diligence done, plus a large dose of trust, Mark began his new life running his San Francisco-based Mountain Bike business.   Hear how he literally pedalled his way into a new life...
