Father of the well-known American telecom venture BTI (Business Telecom Inc.), Peter Loftin can be an ideal inspiration for many budding entrepreneurs. He was only 25 years old when he established this company, thereby proving that age is immaterial when it comes to ideas, framework, efforts and success. Business Telecom Inc. kept on expanding as one of the most grippy corporation houses worldwide. It soon became an organization of multi-million dollars and latergot merged with EarthLink (then Deltacom). Having achieved so much at such an early age, this entrepreneur developed a mature vision for business and creativity very early.
Business Magazine and Other Communities Recognized Peter Loftin’s Achievements
His achievement regarding BTI was acknowledged well and Business North Carolina magazine named him as ‘North Carolina Entrepreneur of the Year’. Not only this, but also he was recognized as ‘Corporate Citizen of the Year’ by NCEITA (North Carolina Electronics and Information Technologies Association).He served as Chairman of the Board of BTI at a very young age.
Apart from Being Clouded by Business Profits and Losses, Peter Loftin’s Heart Was Always Inclined Towards Charity and Arts
Peter’s contribution for society can never be disregarded because he used his own means for boosting the education system in the region. The schools in outskirts or rural areas of North Carolina were facilitated with free internet services by the grace of Peter Loftin.
While serving as an inspirational businessman, Loftin’s interest in charitable activities never died and he always had a great urge in his heart to serve the society at the best. He kept on contributing to community welfare activities in some or the other way. He laid the foundation of BTI Center for the performing Arts in 1997 and his only motto was to encourage more people to polish their talents. It is a well-known and longest venue for performing arts lying between Tampa and Washington D.C.
Peter’s belief in the existence of an educated and well-behaved society made him to take such initiatives. Peter Loftin has always believed in upliftment and expansion of any form of art and through his charitable activities, he has always made his intentions clear. He invested in Casa Casuarina in 2000 for contributing in arts. This was a real estate investment made by him and after that he got the venue ready for several charitable events. His swiftness in smelling the opportunities for business can motivate newcomer entrepreneurs nowadays and can be a live learning lesson. On the other hand, Peter does take interest in charity and art with the same amount of zeal.
Soft-Hearted Peter Loftin Has Always Cared for the Unprivileged Section of Society
Though Peter Loftin has achieved significant heights in his business career, his heart has always been soft for the needy and poor. There are certain business owners who rarely care about the unprivileged section of the society but Loftin is not like that. He keeps on taking initiatives to serve poor and needy in all possible ways. When he was a young entrepreneur in his early twenties, he felt the need of providing protective and good quality clothing for needy. During that time, he initiated a programme called as ‘Coat for Kids’. This programme aimed at providing winter coats to the needy children.
