Stagetex – the first 20 months of being in business


iPod/iPhone MP4 | MP3 (Audio Only)

Matt talks with Pete Van Neste about his first 20 months of being in business. Pete owns a successful audio visual company called Stagetex that he runs from Liverpool.

Pete talks about how he got started in business as well as some of the key things he has done to build the business over the last 20 months. He tells us how being a Christian has impacted how he treats people (and the good knock-on-effect that has had) as well as what he wish knew when he started in business.

Final Session uploaded

I have just uploaded Session 6 podcasts. The first session has Nic Harding talking about Money, and the principles of Money. Chris Holcombe then follows with his story of being a successful surgeon as well as a landlord and hotelier! Unfortunately all of Chris’ talk was not successfully recorded – but there is still a fair chunk.

Myself and Ian Finch then answer questions about sales in the second part.
Hard to believe the school is now over – thanks again for all your commitment and a big thanks to all the speakers that helped on the school.
I will be in touch next week about the mentoring group.

In the first session – Andy Kent, founder of Angel Solutions, shares his story of how he started in business as well as some of the key principles that he has discovered along the way that have helped him go from a small 1 man operation in his house to an industry leading company with a large international client base.Andy talks about the ideas of acting quickly, building great teams, sales and marketing as well as a whole host of other points that we face as Christian business people.

In the second session – we have our live link with Simon O’Shaughnessy in New Zealand (there were a few technical problems – but it was still fantastic!).
