Peter Harback

Peter is a passionate business builder and a serial ideas & implementation guy based in Launceston, Tasmania.

Business is in his blood coming from a long line of makers and business owners, his great grandfather was a blacksmith, grandfather was a saw miller and father is a builder & carpenter.

After leaving school and working for several years within the IT industry employed as a technical consultant he took a big leap into business for himself, sending thousands of dollars overseas to some unknown and unseen company in China and launching his first successful ecommerce store CoolThings.com.au.

Today CoolThings Australia has grown into a niche business serving Australia as the place to go for cool gifts for hard to buy for people all throughout the year.

Using the 12+ years’ experience of online retail growth Peter works with multiple other small business owners helping them grow their own businesses online through ecommerce & online marketing.

The social issue Peter cares about the most is generational cycles of welfare. This is where kids are the second or third in a generation that are relying on government welfare to live and supporting organisations and people whose mission is to break this cycle. Usually through programs and events that show kids that there is more to life than how much they can take out of the system, that they can contribute to society, their ideas are worth something and most of all that they are loved.
