Interview:
Peter Boykin, Entrepreneur and Entrepreneur$ contestant:
25th November
2004
Media
Man Australia continues on it's quest to interview
many of the world's top entrepreneurs and reality
TV entities. In this amazing interview we achieve
both, with a young lad that the world will be hearing
a lot more about...thanks in part to Media Man Australia.
Peter...give me the drum? ....Why
are you newsworthy and one of the hottest commodities
your region has ever seen?
Well
basically reality is in, I am a contestant that is
like Donald Trump's Apprentice but with a southern
charming twist we have a purpose. During the course
of the show we will be doing alot of charity work
and we are starting a website that has at least a
250 million dollar charity campaign all thanks to
eventsleader.com you will hear my name even more in
the future as this show goes public.
What
motivates you and makes you tick?
Well
it could be the little winder in my back... actually
what motivates me is that my dad works as hard as
I do my mom cannot work and right now they are struggling
to make it day to day like myself. I know that they
are only getting older and my dad's health is not
as good as it should be so what motivates me is that
I have to at some point be able to take care of them.
Also I have a strong desire to have what I want out
of life and to give to others that have helped me
and who are less fortunate.
What
brought you to the dance?
I
knew that selling, and entrepreneueralship was in
my blood and always in my family's. I see this contest
is a way to prove myself and make a name for myself
as well.
Why
are business and personal relationships so important?
Well
to me the point of life is all one big board room
or dance, we have to get to know who the right people
are to see and become involved with. But, most important
without business and personal relationships there
is not much more to life than yourself and we all
spend too much time getting on our own selves nerves.
What
have been the highlights of your life?
Well
their are the yellows, the pinks... wait a min highlights
not highlighters... Well they would have to be most
important the moment I became involved in this show,
and then others like high school and college graduation
among others.
What
main challenges have you overcome?
I
have went from not having much of anything to having
at least some of the basics to have in order to live.
Most of all I went from having somethings to a bit
more and then lost it all then I am now trying to
get a stable life up again, I've had a roller coaster
life.
Who
have been your biggest supporters?
So
far my parents, by friends, and Steve and John my
Scottish friends.
Who
are your mentors?
Bob
Winstead creator of the whole thing and Steve one
of the best entrepreneurs I know.
What
are you passionate about?
Trying
to make something of myself in life to be recognized
for something I have or will do in the future to make
the world better.
What are you like on the golf
course?
Haaa
haaa I played my first round a week ago in Durham
(NC USA) that is, and that was with Bob Winstead from
EntrepreneurS, Henry Lister from golfholes.com,
Josh from smilesfromlittlefaces.org,
and Steve and John from http://www.scotlandgolftouring.com
What
do you excel at?
Looks
like so far entrepreneurship and media, I am also
really good at building webpages.
What
magazines and newspapers do you read?
When
I have time I just read the local paper or a pick
up a magazine here and there if I see a article that
strikes me.
What
media coverage have you received to date, and what
was it for?
Just a few old media stories, and such I am working
on my 3rd hour of fame, so far for this contest I
have been constantly on camera.
How did you make contact with
'Entrepreneur$' - The Reality Show?
Thru
a website of a radio station I liked at g105.com
they have a insider signup which I did I got a email
from them with lots of events one was Entrepreneurs
and the rest is now history in the making..
What
are your current projects?
Working
on finding a higher paying job and trying to catch
some bills up working two jobs and being a struggling
college student and doing the Entrepreneur$ show is
alot of me.
I
hear your legend has spread "down under"
to Australia, and even into the lucrative and exciting
Whitsundays...how did that come about?
Lots
and lots of the right contacts and self promotion.
What's
your motto?
Live
one day at a time because you never know what might
come out of something with just a little luck and
skill.
What's
the most important thing in the world to you?
My
family and friends.
What
do you do to relax?
Sleep
:) with a schedule like mine work is my relaxation.
What
else should our worldwide audience and readership
know about you?
I
have a website that I want people to go to and help
aid me with my Peter Boykin Fighting Fund to help
me with some of the expenses I have had so far with
the show. Please go to http://www.peterboykin.com
