CFD 135 - Peter Harris Works Hard Every Day to Alleviate Poverty
Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Peter Harris wasn’t always part of University Venture Fund, a multi-million-dollar group that does what it can to thwart poverty from the ground up by helping individuals see their dreams through to fruition. In fact, Peter wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps as an engineer. However, his father decided he didn’t like working the 9-to-5 life and became an entrepreneur. That took Peter to a whole new path in life. (And he still followed in his father's footsteps!) The great news is that Peter rocks as an entrepreneur who helps others to the same. Peter’s journey put him in the direct line of the impoverished. When that happened he vowed to find a way to use business to help them change their lives. Peter eventually learned how micro-franchising works so his group could offer that to individuals. This form of franchising can help the most financially challenged reach their dreams of business ownership. To make this happen for all those he wants to help, Peter had to learn a lot. He had to hit the re-start button on some of his personal business ventures, too. He refocused on the venture funding group and now helps students attain the capital they need to get where they want to go in life. Learn how Peter Harris solves problems for lots and lots of people every day. You’ll enjoy hearing about what it took to get him to the place he is now. As with a lot of entrepreneurial tales, the path wasn't laid out for him and it took a lot of dips and turns. Learn more.
