Welcome

Posted by: Peter Christo In: Entrepreneurship

My name is Peter Christo. I am a professional entrepreneur based in Melbourne Australia. I am also a doting father of two. I mention that because the entrepreneurial profession, while wonderful when fully swinging up, also has consequences on the way down, especially on the people we cherish. I have had my fair share of testing times, and who knows may have again.

This blog brings together the juxtaposition of being a professional entrepreneurship, a father and a mortal soul. Certainly much of what I discuss is to do with the tools of the trade and at the same time pushing the bounds of thinking as a business person living in a market driven economy. Sometimes its about balancing life’s needs with business needs. It’s as much about remaining conscious of why I am here for me as well as what I am doing. If that sounds strange, relax and sit back as it gets worse.

Finally, one of the hats I wear is as adviser and educator of eager minds attending a business degree focussing on entrepreneurship. I have to say, that working with aspiring entrepreneurs, eager to get in the fight is both humbling and frightening. It’s also exciting and I love every minute of it.

About

I have been self employed or involved in business ventures (in one form or another since 1995), having only worked for 2 years in industry after my undergraduate degree. I undertook a number of business ventures some more successful than others. After a wild ride between 1999 and 2002, I undertook a Masters degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and simultaneously got married and became a dad soon after. These two events re-orientated my perspective on life as I knew it. I am now involved in multiple business ventures. I also lecture in entrepreneurship and I am a “doting dad”. This blog is mainly about that revised perspective, and is an opportunity to reflect on the current juxtaposition between business ventures, fatherhood and just being a man. Thanks for visiting!
