Hi Everyone,
I'm not into empty compliments or flattering people for the sake of flattering. That's for 99% of people. I'm proud to represent the exception.
Yet...there is a certain group of people that I'll admire until I gasp my last dying breath on this earth. It's the VERY FEW people who are not wasting time looking back on their past and allowing it to become their excuse for failure. These people move forward!
Let's cut to the chase...
If you have a past relationship that did not work...GET OVER IT! If you had a business that failed...GET OVER IT! If you expected something to happen that didn't...GET OVER IT! If your spouse or lover ditched you...GET OVER IT! If your company fired you...GET OVER IT!
Don't take anti-depressants, don't make another trip to the local shrink, don't blame the government, don't whine to people who are sick of hearing you whine...JUST GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON! In the end that's all it's going to come down to anyway.
Stop making excuses and letting your past dictate your future. I remember one day being at a gathering and heard someone make the comment --- "Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do." I couldn't have said it better!
Oh...maybe I can...
"To get ahead - you have to move ahead - and to move ahead - you need to look straight ahead."
Gotta run!
Until next time...
Peter

To risk or not to risk?
Hi Everyone,
I remember a question asked during one of my favorite movies "The Emperor's Club." The instructor asked one of his students, "How do you want to be remembered?"
When I first heard that question I got goosebumps while pondering my own answers. I rattled off a whole list of answers. And then I realized that to get to any of these lofty goals I would have to take some chances. Some educated risks if you will. That has lead to some very significant changes in not only my personal growth - also my sense of adventure.
This was a major breakthrough for me!
So I have a challenge for you. Answer the question, "How do you want to be remembered?"
Make out a list of things you'd like to be remembered for and go for your dreams, take chances, and make life an adventure. Get out of the whirling cesspool of misery and foreboding doom! Get off your rear, stop blaming the government, your age, your coworkers, and most of all stop making excuses for being where you're at. It's your own fault! And you MUST deal with it!
Remember one of my favorite passages titled "RISK"...
To laugh is to risk appearing the Fool
To weep is to risk appearing Sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk Involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your True Self
To place your dreams before a Crowd
is to risk their Loss
To love is to risk not being loved in Return
To live is to risk Dying
To hope is to risk Despair
To try is to risk Failure
But risk must be Taken, because
The greatest hazard in life is to risk Nothing.
The person who risks Nothing
Does nothing - has nothing - and is Nothing
They may avoid suffering and Sorrow,
But they cannot learn - feel - Change -
Grow - Love - Live
Chained by their Certitudes,
They are a Slave;
They have forfeited their Freedom.
Only a person who risks is Free.
I'm not religious but I'm still going to say, "AMEN!"
New book coming soon...STAY TUNED!
Until next time...

New book! Coming soon!
Hi Everyone,
After a solid year of focus, I've just completed my new book called "Buying Secrets Retailers DON'T Want You to Know about."
I'll keep you posted on the release date.
Also, I'm not sure if you're aware --- tonight is the unveiling of Donald Trump's newest show called "Celebrity Apprentice." The celebrity cast is amazing and features a branding/licensing guru...Gene Simmons of the legendary rock band KISS! Trump is the undisputed king of no-nonsense business acumen. After all, if you have any desire to make money, how could you not be somewhat interested in what a billionaire has to say? Makes sense to me!
Gotta run!
Until next time...
