When inspiration, dedication and motivation meet head on,
great things happen to people. When they met in the head of Jonathan
Yates, they created a maverick entrepreneur who would go on to win
awards, praise and accolades for his skill at grasping the concept of
successful business.
Jonathan founded his won business, Santeau, in his back bedroom and
sold the business four years later. Through dogged tenacity and
unshakable self-belief, he has appeared in the national press and
international radio on countless occasions, once having his top ten
tips for business success compared to those of business mogul and
chairman of TV show The Apprentice Lord Sugar. In the Sunday Times,
Businessman and Dragons' Den stalwart Peter Jones praised Jonathan for
his business instinct, saying "It won't be long before he gets a
loyal following."
Jonathan has motivated many entrepreneurs into action with his
regular seminars and professional speaking events. Using proven
techniques and expertise, he shows people how and when to make the
necessary adjustments to achieve their goals, and how to capture and
control inspiration, dedication and motivation.
Jonathan is also the author of All-Time Essentials for Entrepreneurs
(Capstone), a miscellany of essential facts, tips and advice that
every entrepreneur needs to know to be successful. Written in the
knowledge that entrepreneurs have to find valuable information
quickly, the book harnesses the energy and inspiration of several
books and provides the instant gratification that appeals to this market.
Jonathan is 40 and lives in Harrogate, North Yorkshire with his wife
Lisa and their three boys, Harry, Fred and Patrick.
