Preneur Marketing Blog – Pete Williams | Author Entrepreneur

Hi All,

Em here, Pete’s new PA.

I just wanted to ‘take-over’ the blog for a moment, and let those of you who are interested know that Pete has just been announced as one of just 3 global finalists in the JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Awards in 2009.

Pete is heading to Tunisia this November, to attend JCI’s (Junior Chamber International) 94th World Congress, where he will face his last deliberation as one of just three global finalists.

In just it’s 5th year, the JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Awards has quickly become the most celebrated award of the 94 year old global organization; who’s 200,000 members aged 18 to 40 from around the worl, share the belief that in order to create positive change, they must improve themselves and the world around them. Through projects in 5,000 communities in 115 countries, members seek targeted solutions to local problems, creating global impact.

Everyone here in the team is very proud of our boy, and just wanted you to all know too.

Speak soon..

Em.

Here is a 43 minute audio of the presentation I did last night for JCI Australia’s national training weekend – it was loosely on the topic of ‘When Was The Last Time You Did Something For The First Time’

I go off in a few different tangents, telling stories that have nothing to do with the topic, yet have everything to do with the topic – covering things like:

• How to Cook A Roast For Christmas
• How To Win 25 Words or Less Contests
• What Violins Have To Do With Anything
• The Biggest Hurdle To Picking Up Women
• A Rendition of Dr Seuss’s Best Book
• … and then spend about 20mins answering questions

The presentation was in a restaurant, so as you can tell it was a little more relaxed and off-the-cuff than usual. Also, it was recorded on my LiveScribe Pen, so please be aware it is not award winning audio quality… and the presentation kicks in as I am describing what the heck the livescibe pen actually is.

Enjoy.
