Australia's Richard Branson Does It Again.
Entrepreneur Pete Williams, regularly referred to in the media as 'Australia's Richard Branson', is Australia's first ever finalist in JCI's Creative Young Entrepreneur Awards!
Online, September 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - 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 for the JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award for 2009.
From selling the MCG for under $500 at the age of 21, to his numerous telecommunication companies (including Infiniti Telecommunications), his international selling book (How To Turn Your Million Dollar Idea Into A Reality), and his on-going commitment to the micro-lending charity KIVA (via the ThirtyDayChallenge.com), this international award solidifies the 'Australian Richard Branson' tag it seems 27 year old Pete Williams [www.PreneurMarkeitng.com], has become synonymous with.
"It's an honor to make the global finals of such a prestigious award, but I did have to look on the map to find out where Tunisia was." joked Williams. "The award says as much about the team, as it does about me personally; I wouldn't me nominated if they didn't make the ideas happen. I'm more like Dale Kerrigan than Branson"
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 world, 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.
