NEW: Jonathan has launched his third business, fflap.com. fflap is a collection of the very best tools and services to help you make more profits and make them faster using social networks as a platform for eBay business success.

Jonathan founded Santeau in his back bedroom and sold the business 4 years later. Through dogged tenacity and unshakable self-belief, Jon has appeared in the national press and intentional 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, Sir Alan Sugar.

In the Sunday Times, Businessman and Dragon’s Den stalwart Peter Jones praised Jonathan for his business instinct, saying “it won’t be long before he gets a loyal following.”

Jonathan is the Author of “All Time Essentials for Entrepreneurs” & “FREESOURCING: how to start a business with no money”.

An accomplished athlete, Jonathan was keen to discover a way of keeping properly hydrated. In training for a gruelling marathon across the Sahara Desert, he was struck with the idea for WAHOO. Jonathan invented a product that when added to refilled water bottles would become an award-winning healthy alternative to fizzy, sugary soft drinks on the go sold through UK retailers and the Military.

Jonathan has motivated many entrepreneurs into action with his seminars and professional speaking appearances. 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.
