Over the course of four years Matt Brown has interviewed hundreds of local and international entrepreneurs and business experts for his podcast, The Matt Brown Show, and in the process has created a lexicon of business, growth, start-up and funding hacks that anyone can learn from and implement. He has also come to the conclusion that the single defining factor between entrepreneurs who make it and those who
don’t is internal. It’s all about the inner game. Entrepreneurs with a strong inner game live, breathe and work according to a set of principles that define everything they do.
In Your Inner Game – 12 Principles for High-Impact Entrepreneurs, Matt draws on the lessons he’s learned, both as an entrepreneur who has launched nine businesses, and as a podcast host with hundreds of interviews under his belt. He delves into what separates great businesses from their mediocre peers; the mindset that entrepreneurs should embrace if they want to grow their businesses; and, ultimately, the secret
to building a business of purpose that fulfils a greater need for their founders. Full of real-life anecdotes, tips, success hacks and actionable insights that you can implement in your own start-up or business, Your Inner Game unpacks twelve principles that you can put into practise today to take your life and business from good to great.
Thoughtful, honest and willing to reveal both the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, Matt takes his readers on a journey that will give them the blueprint to relook at everything they thought they knew about business.

stranded in a strange, quiet place full of humans called Lower
Drudging. With empty coffers in need of filling, their only choice

We may know Jesus as Lord and Savior, but do we know him as Healer?
This book is for anyone asking for a miracle—whether physical,
mental, relational, or spiritual—and how to worship the Great
Healer no matter if His answer is answer is yes, no, or wait. If we
understand anything about our culture, it's that we desperately
need healing. Many people are quick to believe in an outrageous
conspiracy before they will believe in Jesus and the miracle worker
He is. Throughout Scripture, we see that He makes the blind see,
opens deaf ears, restores life from death, and so much more . . .
but what about you? Do you believe that Jesus has the power to
restore you to health and heal your wounds? Throughout this book,
Matthew Stephen Brown leads readers on a spiritual journey designed
to discover who Jesus is as Healer and explore many questions
including: Why do we believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, but not
as Healer? Why would a good God allow us to experience pain in the
first place, and maybe many times? When we don't experience
healing, does that mean Jesus has failed or let us down? Jesus
cares about our physical needs, but what healing in our lives is He
most concerned about? Â Combining personal stories, biblical
truth and wisdom, and humor that puts people at ease and draws them
in, Pastor Matt Brown leads readers to worship a God who is not
random, not careless, and who is never without cause, especially
when it comes to performing miracles. Everyone can get behind a God
who says yes. But what about when God says no? Or wait? No matter
what God's plan is for your life, we can learn to trust and worship
the Great Healer.
