It took an unexpected turn in Matt Hills life for him to change direction both personally and in his business life.
Matt from Cronulla, co-founded OpenLIVE - Australia's leading live high-resolution streaming music platform and technology company and now runs a consulting practice for entrepreneurs looking to up-scale their business.
He thrived on being challenged and has extensive experience working with business's during growth, turn around, capital raising, incubation, and restructuring-providing solutions to assist with business expansion.
Matt has now joined with Business Coach Dave McDermott and International Business Advisor Shammah Dhall who worked on the ground-breaking SBS reality TV show 'The Employables' to create a company called "Elemental Self" and is running fully immersive retreats for Individuals, leaders, founders, entrepreneurs and executives who are at a significant pivot point in their business life .
Elemental Self, believes taking care of business means leading from the inside out, attending to your body, your mind, your spirit - and playing an optimal life game means when you're feeling good, you're performing at your best which will inevitably be inspiring to everyone around you.
Matt said his personal forte is getting people to focus on what they can do-not what you cant do and subsequently fail.
"Our business wants to show people how to connect with the elements of performance,and getting the best out of their business.
"There is a bit of self belief and a bit of technical knowledge involved-Its like personal training for your business life " Matt said
Attending a business retreat for high achievers isn't sitting in a hammock sipping green tea for four days and its not like having a few days off -people have to reconnect with themselves and work out how they got where they are now.
The first Elemental Self retreat is on March19-22 and is set on the NSW South Coast and they aim to run between five and eight this year.
Matt said most of peoples personal and professional problems are ultimately problems of forgetting who they really are.
"In this game of life and business, when we exercise self-leadership and attend to our mind, body and spirit, and recalling what truly matters and what makes us come alive, we begin to transform our outer world from inside out."
