Tim Matcham – DailyStandards & The 10-Second Philosophy Affiliated Coach
Tim Matcham is recognised as one of the UK’s leading experts in raising. investor finance, to help property entrepreneurs build successful portfolios. A sought after Pod Cast guest, five-star author, in demand speaker and online course creator, Tim’s passion is to help people to harness their financial potential through property.
His journey started when he realised his pension was not going to provide the lifestyle he wanted for his family. So, Tim started by taking and graduating from Simon Zutshi’s Property Mastermind Programme where he was recognised for his ability to build relationships and create profitable property joint ventures. From here he joined a number of business Masterminds, speaker and profiling trainings to develop his skills and network further.
He ‘s best known for raising over £3.5 million for a variety of residential and commercial projects and creating both passive profits and positive cash flow in his first few years. This experience lead to his first book – How to Attract Armchair Investors for Property.
Then in 2017 founded Blue Line Coaching to share his knowledge and skills with other aspiring property investors. The Blue Line idea came from running the New York Marathon in 2011, a truly spectacular experience, where they paint a blue line from start to finish.
Tim says, “by putting one foot in front of the other and taking the next step, we know we can reach our goal”, a great metaphor for your property journey that just spoke to me. His approach is holistic, focusing on developing their self-confidence, finding their flow along with deploying the success strategies he’s learned on his personal journey.
Outside of property investing and coaching, Tim enjoys spending time outside sailing, walking, and building his health and fitness, with the occasional game of golf!
He enjoys time with his wife and family and takes to the surf at Polzeath, North Cornwall, and runs an online Christian bible study group with members from across the world connecting, supporting each other and growing their character.

Many in the entertainment industry have benefited from his understanding, empathy, approachability, and curiosity. Even as a DJ he would speak to people in the room and engage them at a deeper level. He has a natural flair for understanding people’s thoughts and concerns and offering guidance.
