(From Illiterate bricklayer to an International Business Statesman)
by BENJAMIN ANABARAONYE
Peter J. Daniels is a well-known and respected Australian Christian international business statesman of substance.He came from a disadvantaged background, and his early years were plagued by illiteracy and ignorance. He came to Christ on May 25, 1959, at a Billy Graham Crusade in Adelaide, South Australia.
While coming from a poor dysfunctional family background and suffering from ill health and dyslexia he never passed one grade at school. However, from this humble beginning he developed a deep faith in God and confounded the skeptics.Happily married to Robina, he enjoys the love, friendship and support of a very close knit family with three children and eight grandchildren.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale rightly acknowledged Peter J. Daniels as..."the best platform speaker in the world."
Peter Daniels has authored over twenty books and authored numerous business education programs that are distributed worldwide in many languages. He has been honored by universities, institutions, and governments, for his entrepreneurial ability and benevolence and has served on International Boards with some of the world's greatest intellectual, business, academic, religious, and corporate giants of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Peter and Robina Daniels promote Christian family values. They have three children, eight grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
Books, magazines and newspapers
print stories about his life, which are often featured on radio and television
talk show and news reports. Schools and students throughout the world write
essays about his life, his humble beginnings and his determination to succeed
in whatever task he has before him.
Thousands flock to hear him speak
wherever he travels across the globe and his books sell at a frantic pace. One
of his presentation recordings on the subject of encouragement is attributed to
have sold over one million copies.
He is a genius at creating simple
business formulas to solve difficult problems and has spoken to more live
audiences throughout the world than any other Australian.
Peter J Daniels commenced full time menial work at thirteen years of age
until he became a bricklayer and stonemason working piecework sometimes from
6am to 8pm seven days a week. The turning point in Peter's life was when he
became a born again Christian at a Billy Graham Crusade on May the 25th 1959 in
South Australia. In
pursuit of these dreams,At the age of 26, he purchased three dictionaries to understand words,
and practiced pronunciation and speech by listening to British broadcasters on
radio who in those early days spoke impeccable English. Without a tutor or
mentor he studied economics, politics, modern and ancient history, theology,
law, philosophy and business.
He soon discovered that the mind was
like a muscle and could be developed, and has now personally read over 5,000
biographies.
In 1984 he launched his first book
that was the catalyst of the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies, which
today, with a no debt philosophy, is one of the largest suppliers of Christian
business education programs and books in the world.

The birth of the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies was inspired by Peter Daniels in the early 1980’s.Through his involvements in international business, Mr. Daniels found himself continually confronted by individuals who sought guidance in business from a biblical perspective. The lack of practical training available in this area to would-be entrepreneurs led to the formation of the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies and the introduction of “hands on” workshops, business seminars and self help literature and strategies, that have produced measurable results in the lives of the participants.
Since its inception, the World
Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies has underwritten and conducted over 1,000
business conferences in 28 countries.
