NVarchitect on HubPages

Hi, my real name is Peter Baskerville and I am currently a lecturer, educational writer and facilitator of the entrepreneurial education programs @ Southbank Institute of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. I deliver these courses along with mentoring and coaching of entrepreneurs in a role I like to describe as a New Venture Architect (hence NVarchitect).

The entrepreneurial training at Southbank includes 4 short courses in business Modelling, Starting an Online Business; Bootstrap Marketing for startups; and Cashflow funding for Startups. We also offer the nationally recognised post graduate qualification in entrepreneurship called The Vocational Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship;.

Prior to this role, I have spent 20 years being an entrepreneur and 5 years working with entrepreneurs in my capacity of Senior Analyist for a Merchant Bank. I have personally started over 13 new businesses involving 30 separate outlets.

My current role gives me the time to reflect on my experience and share what I have learned through sites like Knol and Hubpages. Ultimately, I want to be part of what I believe will be the biggest opportunity in the first half of the 21st century - Open Online Education for the planet via the technology of the web and the mediums of Hubpages and Knols

I may sneek off an write on some other topics but expect lots of articles on my passions:

1 - Entrepreneurship - answering, What is it? How is it useful? How can I learn it? How can I do it better?

2 - Education - answering, What is the future of education? How do you turn information into learning? How can I turn what I know into Intellectual Property that I can own and sell?

3 - Plain English Accounting - answering, Can you explain accounting concepts in a way that a non-accountant can understand? Why is understanding accounting concepts so vital for entrepreneurs?

4 - Fine Italian Espresso Coffee - answering, Where did coffee originate? How is it produced? How much caffeine in coffee? What makes coffee bitter?  What is Decaffeinated (Decaffinated) coffee? Who invented the coffee maker?

5 - Stories - answering - nothing! Just telling you the humorous and significant stories about me and the lives of others.

6 - Online Articles - answering, where to post, how to post, how to be seen, how to create a Theme Park for your readers, how to profit fom the experience.

Finally, my favourite holiday destination is our family's home on Point Lookout Stradbroke Island. I have provided some links to my current articles on the topic.
