Matthew is a great guy with a passion for helping others, including me, to achieve their dreams. He's a good friend and I have no doubt that he will make a great dad to his baby (when the little one finally arrives!!!!)

So this week is a little bit special. I'm not writing about a specific topic but rather a specific person and that person is Matthew Needham.

Posted by Ben Lumley on Jun 16, 2010 in Motivation, Success | 24 comments

I'm pleased to introduce today a little series of posts about some successful people I know. Recently I asked some very successful people I know if they would do an interview with me about what drives them to their success and how they achieve what they do. There will be a total of four Success Interviews to begin with, but I'm hoping to do more and share with them with you in the future. First up today is Chris Ducker. Chris is a successful entrepreneur and business man who is the CEO of Live2Sell, a Philippines call centre and outsourcing specialist firm. I really look up to Chris because he is a guy who, in my mind, has achieved great things. He has a massive future ahead of him. He is also a role model for me as a father to his family who is able provide an amazing life for those he loves. Chris kindly agreed to do an interview with me, even though he was really busy. The interview below is a transcription of the audio answers Chris gave in response to the questions I sent him.
