Are you asking yourself these superb questions?

Hi Everyone,

I want to take a moment and teach you a technique that you can use right away to be a more effective "challenge" solver. The foundation of this technique lies in the what questions you ask yourself and the answers you come up with.

Before we get going you need to understand that whenever you ask yourself a question - your mind comes up with some sort of answer. For instance -- think of a challenge your facing, and ask yourself, "Why does this always happen to me?" Or, "Why don't people like me?" "Why am I so unsuccessful?" If you did this correctly and with emotion - you noticed your mind came up with some sort of negative answer!

Now let's turn it around.

What if you had a challenge and asked yourself questions like, "What is great about this challenge? How about, "What is not perfect?" Or one of my favorites -- "What am I willing to do about?" Here's another good one -- "who can help me solve this challenge?" How about this gem -- "What step can I take to start solving this challenge today?" You see, your mind gives you an answer to the positive questions also.


The key is to keep asking yourself questions that will help you solve challenges - not perpetuate them!

One resource that can help you understand the power of questions is Tony Robbin's stellar book, Awaken the Giant Within.

Remember, the quality of your life is dictated by how you manage the following...
- Your level of health
- The quality of your relationships
- Your willingness to act on your ideas
- Who you associate with regularly
- Your ability to leverage others
- How you invest your time and money
- Ways you spend your free time
- Ability to assuage or eradicate prejudice against others
- How you get along with coleagues, coworkers, friends, and family
- And of course how you talk yourself

For more information on these and other topics, please stay tuned for the release of the Peter Wink show - coming soon.

Until next time...

A must-read book for anyone wanting to get wealthy!

Hi Everyone,

If you want to read a book that can help you get on the path to wealth...then you must get the new book "Why We Want You To Be Rich" by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki!


















Donald Trump, a billionaire and Robert Kiyosaki, a multi-millionaire, will teach you...
- The difference between the three types of investors and why only one type will always come out on top!
- How you can become this type of investor!
- Why being an employee is the least financially secure route to wealth!
- How the government is robbing the middle class of their hard-earned money!
- The cash flow quadrant and how you can take advantage of it!
- How to become a business owner and take advantage of the last of the government tax breaks!
- Why the United States is becoming a "rich" or "poor" nation - completely wiping out the middle class!

And much more!

This book is a major eye opener that's sure to have a major impact on financial education! Just yesterday, I personally made a major decision from reading this book! And I will not turn back no matter what the risk.

On top of the education, here are some startling facts I learned in this book...
- Huge problems killing the economy like the falling value of the dollar, a national debt out of control, a growing trade deficit, baby boomers that will not have enough for retirement, inflated oil prices stalling the economy, and the lack of tax breaks for the middle class.
- The staggering growth of China and India and how the United States finances it!
- The "entitlement" mentality of Americans and their false sense of security with the finances managed by the government!
- The decline of social security, Medicare, and Medicaid!
- A very real threat of the United States government eventually going bankrupt in the coming years!
- What these wars are really costing us in debt we can no longer afford!

Pay the $15 and get this book right away. This was some of the best money I ever spent and I'm sure you'll feel the same way.

You can order "Why We Want You To Be Rich" by going to...

Staking the hearts of the "time vampires!"

Hi Everyone,

Call me dellusional, call me crazy - each day, without fail, I'm haunted with the same phrase going through my mind like an out of control ghost train - "manage your time or someone else will." Where am I going with this? Good question!

I was thumbing through a terrific book called "No B.S. Business Success" by marketing legend/guru Dan Kennedy.









In this book, Dan talks about the importance of managing your time well and keeping away so-called time-wasters or as Dan so eloquently refers to them - "time vampires."














Dan says, "Time vampires are people dedicated to sucking up your time. In the process, they also suck out a lot of your energy, leaving you white, weak, and behind schedule. These are the repetitive drop-in visitors or the employees who coin the famous phrase, "Got a Minute?" They also include people who suffer from the chronic disease called "meeting-itis."

The profile of these individuals include being disorganized, as well as lack of respect for you, your time, and your goals. When you see them --- run the other way quickly!

For those of you not into running, and I can't imagine why not, try the following...
- Tell them you only have "five" minutes and politely keep checking your watch as they talk
- Say "Sorry I have another meeting"
- Ask their objective for talking to you
- Have them set up a formal meeting according to YOUR calendar
- When you want them to leave - get up and start subtly walking them to the door

Great advice huh?

Remember - your time is YOUR life and nobody elses. Time is like money - you need to spend it wisely. And like money - don't let anybody spend your time for you.

To get a copy of Dan's book "No B.S. Business Success", go to...

50 ways to get lucky right now!

Hi Everyone,

I have a feeling the title of this blog could be slightly misleading - maybe got you a little excited. Ok...I admit I did it on purpose. And for good reason.

Even though sex is not the subject of this blog - you'll find an article worth reading and yes...you'll find 50 ways to get lucky. Not in the bedroom - but in the boardroom.

I came across a gem of an article written by business guru, best-selling author and management icon, Tom Peters, called "The Pursuit of Luck." This article will show you 50 ways to shake things up and make things happen for yourself and your business today!

You can access it at... http://www.tompeters.com/blogs/main/PDFs/PursuitofLuck1992.pdf

I really liked the advice in this article - especially when he said..."Try it. Cut the baloney and get on with something." This is the only way to make any changes.











This reminded me of something very poignant. A week ago, me and my wife Stephanie dined with marketing wizard and CEO of BluBlocker Corporation, Joe Sugarman and his wife Leila Sas, Mrs. World Competitor.

The conversation between me and Joe quickly turned to success strategies. I'll never forget what he said. Joe stressed the importance of taking risks and trying new things. He personally got where he is by constantly trying new things and and stretching himself consistently. If you knew Joe - you'd know he walks his talk!

That said...at the end of each day, take a moment and ask yourself..."Did I get THROUGH the day? Or did I get FROM the day? What did I learn today? Am I growing or dying?"

And when you're done answering, re-read Tom Peter's article.

Until next time...

I'm a changed man!

Hi Everyone,

I never thought I'd say it. I'm officially a Mac user!

I just purchased a new iMac with every bell and whistle imaginable. I'm going to use it for all my personal and professional work including audio and video-editing for my upcoming "Peter Wink" Self Development Show."
Cool stuff!

And being Mr. Inquisitive...I took a trip to the library and picked up a stack of books about the iMac, Mac Users, and the Apple company.

I just finished reading one these books, a great one called "The Apple Way." This book discusses 12 management lessons from what's called the"world's most innovative company."

My favorite section, which is applicable to any company, is called "Build the Cult." As most of you know, Apple is a cult brand with one of the most loyal followings of any company - even rivaling Harley-Davidson and NIKE.

Here are some fascinating lessons from Apple on building a loyal following or "cult":
- Use your most intelligent, influential, and committed users to spread the word!
- Come up with the next big thing like they did with the iPod and iMac!
- Encourage users to form their own support groups online!
- Give users a small freebie to provide advice to you about your product/service!
- Become a media darling!
- Always stay one step ahead of the competition!
- Provide high quality at reasonable prices!
- Build temples for your customers like the Apple Store in the brick and mortar world and dot Mac in the online world!

To pick up "The Apple Way" go to...
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Way-Jeffrey-L-Cruikshank/dp/0072262338/sr=8-1/qid=1159737098/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-0725138-6704833?ie=UTF8&s=books

Have to run...I have more reading to do.

Until next time...
