Hi, I’m Peter Christo.

Hi, I’m Peter Christo. I’d like to welcome you to my site and the business of turning ideas into reality. It’s certainly an exciting and fulfilling profession and I applaud anyone who is in there trying to make a difference to their own situation, their family, community or the world. You see entrepreneurship appears many forms, not just a person who leaves their job and starts a business from their garage. They exist in the social space in aid and government, it exists in corporations, in kids at school and indeed in the later stages of life.

For me, entrepreneurial endeavour is a not just a lifestyle and certainly not just a job, it’s an opportunity to grow as a person, help others and be an active participant in my own life not just a passenger. Believe it or not is has a wisdom and philosophical element.

Hi, I’m Peter Christo. I’d like to welcome you to my site and the business of turning ideas into reality. It’s certainly an exciting and fulfilling profession and I applaud anyone who is in there trying to make a difference to their own situation, their family, community or the world. You see entrepreneurship appears many forms, not just a person who leaves their job and starts a business from their garage. They exist in the social space in aid and government, it exists in corporations, in kids at school and indeed in the later stages of life.

For me, entrepreneurial endeavour is a not just a lifestyle and certainly not just a job, it’s an opportunity to grow as a person, help others and be an active participant in my own life not just a passenger. Believe it or not is has a wisdom and philosophical element.

So why are you here? Many people start this journey looking for advise and information, but quickly find that what they need is a trusted person who has been there before to talk to and share the journey and get some insights when needed. In many cases it’s hard to find someone who cares enough, has the right experience and knowledge and is also detached enough to give you frank and fearless advice.

My own story took me from the special forces in the Australian military to the IT giant Hewlett-Packard to my own business when I was still in my twenties. This world took me to San Francisco in the late 90’s and many hours in planes and airport lounges. Ignorance and arrogance were the key drivers in spite of that I enjoyed some early successes. That addicted me in no uncertain terms but it was only time, experience, some formal education and believe it or not the humbling experince of becoming a dad to two amazing kids that allowed me to truly feel like I had something to offer others.

So, if you are here looking for help or advice or indeed a couch/mentor for your startup you are in the right place, but let me say from the outset, I may not be right for you and I certainly can’t and don’t help all you approach me but, I invite you to consider my service as a legitimate and valuable tool in progressing your business. I’ll spend a little bit of time with you to make sure we can work together, and if not, I’ll refer you to someone else in my network. You’ll note that my work is not just coaching, in fact I have a limited number of coaching clients at any one time and one is as a pro bono role in the social space. Of course I refer some client to others I know who can also offer help. My other work is through Christo Partners my consulting firm working with corporates, government and the shart-up sector, and of course my beloved MCR a result of way to many years in cafes hatching plans.

If at this point you are still interested in what I have to offer, feel free to watch the video below or make an inquiry. I will get back to you in 48 hrs.

If you have been following fintech, bitcoin and consequently the blockchain, you would know that the underpinning technology is one of the most exciting things to emerge from the connected world since the internet itself. Why? Well the following question might give you a hint (one I was asked recent

Two quotes I love when it comes to the business of business;

  • “Advice is not teaching; it merely engages the attention and rouses us, and concentrates the memory, and keeps it from losing grip. We miss much that is set before our very eyes. Advice is, in fact, a sort of exhortation. The mind often tries not to notice even that which lies before our eyes; we must therefore force upon it the knowledge of things that are perfectly well known.” Seneca

  • “Amat victoria curam” is what I use in my email sig,.. there are a few varying translations from latin. The interpretation like is “fortune favours prepared”… even it it’s not absolutely right,.. it works for me.  Peter Christo
