Peter Thorpe started his career in sales and marketing and filled several senior positions in that field before becoming the General Manager of Sharp Corporation of Australia. He left Sharp over 20 years ago to start his own business and since then, he has been a retailer, an importer and has operated his own advertising business.

In 1988, with no previous experience in publishing, he decided to start his own magazine. Called Australian Small Business Review it was based on his personal experience gained while starting and running various businesses himself. It was an outstanding success and he was ultimately bought out by a large publishing house.

His book, Small Business Street Smarts sold over 20,000 copies and his latest work, Success Secrets for your Small Business is well on the way to joining the best seller list.

He created and conducted the highly successful seminar series Be Your Own Boss with the assistance of the Commonwealth Bank and Yellow Pages Australia. The program ran for several years all over Australia and was attended by thousands of small business owners and aspiring business owners.

Today Peter is a professional, motivational and inspirational speaker. He is also a business advisor and runs his own successful Internet marketing and web development business.

Peter's past speaking clients include:

BHP, Coca Cola, Jetset, News Ltd, Commonwealth Bank, Carlton United Breweries, CSR, Caltex, Yellow Pages Australia, John Fairfax, National Mutual, Optus, Self Storage Association of Australasia, Cookie Man, Institute of Strata Title Management and many more.
