Don't look back!

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...

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!

Attention: Public Relations pundits!

Hi Everyone,

I was out doing some bargain shopping the other day and came across a tremendous book at a used bookstore.

The book is called "Public Relation Kit For Dummies."

As most of you already know, I have vast experience in the area of Public Relations and Publicity. One of my publicity stunts alone is considered the largest PR stunt in Chicago history for a restaurant chain and I'M DAMN PROUD OF IT!















In this book, there is a section called "Defining Your Goals and Objectives."

It says, and I agree, that the five main components to PR goal setting include:
1. Knowing the key message you want to communicate!
2. Defining your marketing objective!
3. Understanding your audience!
4. Knowing the response you want from your PR!
5. Knowing the media you want to target!

Now I did not have this book, and relied on intuition in my early PR days. This was costly.

If you have a small or large business and are wondering how to get free attention for your business get a copy of "Public Relations Kit For Dummies" today!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!











Until next time...

Peter meets Mr. Fire meets Tony Robbins

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending Tony Robbins seminar with my GREAT friend Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale, my wife Stephanie, and Nerissa "The Video Queen" Oden.



















(This was the third time I've seen Tony. The last time, we walked on fire together!) Tony got us pumped, psyched, and ready to take on the world. Click here to see a video titled "Tony Robbins sparks fire in Mr. Fire Joe Vitale." This was taken moments after we attended the seminar.

What would you do...?

Hi Everyone,

I've been listening to Brian Tracy's CD set called Thinking Big.










During this program, Brian asks, "what would you do today if you knew you could not fail?"

What a profound question! The answer may be the key to our purpose in life and where we should focus our efforts.

So ask yourself - "what would I do if I knew I could not fail?" Now that you have the answer - write it down and get started doing it!

And that's what I'm going to do now...wrap up my new book.

Until next time...

Don't fall into the one income stream trap!

Hi Everyone,

Most people reading this blog have only one income stream and they will call it job "security." This is the worst attitude to have when it comes to protecting you and your family's well-being. With one small swoop - you're income STOPS my friend!


















The truth of the matter is the smartest people financially have multiple streams of income.













Here are the facts...
- Your company could go bankrupt anytime and throw you out on the street!
- You likely not as "loved" as you think!
- Someone is always gutting for your position!
- Your boss who loved and protected you could be fired or forced out tomorrow!
- Some "so-called" manager may determine you have a poor attitude and toss you on out on your rear!
- That same "so-called" manager may never "anoint" you to the next level because of their own insecurities!
- Your company's "so-called" ivy league, big wig executives may be robbing the company blind!
- You may raise a negative issue and be considered "too negative" to be on the team!
- Your company may have a "moonlighting" rule which is meant for one reason only...to keep you down!
- Your organization could be bought up!
- The same people who were once your "so-called" friends will be having a security guard walk you out on your last day like some hardened criminal!
- You likely have a co-worker in the shadows that wants to make a name for themselves by turning others like yourself in!
- Like it or not, for some unforeseen reason, you will likely be the target of some political B.S. at some point in your career! (Yes that means you too Wonderboy!)

The list goes on and on!

So always ask yourself...
- Do I have a financial contingency plan?
- What will I do if I lose my "so-called" secure job?
- Is having one income really that smart and secure?
- How can I generate additional income streams?

This is a great start.

Remember, NOBODY will ever take care of you like you will. When push comes to shove, your coworkers, colleagues, and bosses will likely throw you under the bus to protect themselves. I didn't write this rule, it's just an unfortunate reality everyone in the employment world has to live with. And I'm sure you all know people who have been a part of this on one side or another. Maybe it was you!

Case in point --- Some years ago I worked for a "so-called" perfect organization that preached all these morals and other company catchphrases like having fun on the job, feeling empowered, and other company "rah" "rah" "sis" "boom" "bah" talk. I decided I wanted to make more money and went looking for a new job. What happened? An HR rep found out I was looking and reported it to one of my bosses. The result - I was subtly forced out! Forced out by people who pretended to be my friends, talked great to my face, told me how wonderful I was, and how good a job I was doing. So much for waiting 50 years for the gold-plated banana - oops I meant watch!

Keep one thing in mind. I'm not complaining. I'm simply trying to make a point that "no" job is secure. NOT EVEN YOURS! And if you think it is...you need this blog more than anyone.

Welcome to reality!

If you have an employment horror story you'd like to share, please post it as a comment to this blog or e-mail it to me (with permission to post) at contact@peterwink.com.

Do you possess the key?

Hi Everyone,

I had the privlege and honor to spend last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with my wife Stephanie, Nerissa "Video Queen" Oden, and the legendary Joe "Mr Fire" Vitale.















Joe was in town starring at the Learning Annex's Wealth Expo in Rosemont, IL. We spent time together eating in the finest restaurants, touring a museum, and attending a seminar by Tony Robbins.















On the final day of the expo, Joe gave an unbelievable speech on "The Key" which is based on his new book. It was incredible. The majority of Joe's speech was on how to clear past beliefs that are blocking you from taking action in your life. It was spine-tingling. In fact, Joe was the only speaker to get a standing ovation.




















I was so moved by Joe's speech, I raced home after dropping Joe and Nerissa off at their hotel and started reading the complimentary, autographed/inscribed, personal copy of "The Key" that Joe was so kind to give me. I could not put it down!

I read the book in less than one day and used JUST TWO of the 10 clearing methods that Joe recommended to unblock a limiting belief and take action on something I've been putting off. Oh...what a feeling that is! You need to try it.

If you do not have a copy of "The Key" you can get it here!

OK...gotta run. Still finishing my own upcoming book.

Until next time...

Get on Apple Leopard today!

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know, I'm a diehard Apple Computer junkie. I have an iMac, iPods, Apple TV...ok you get it! (Oh...and when my Verizon contract runs out, I'm trashing by Blackberry for an iPhone!)

Now, I must bow my head and cross my hands, get on my knees and thank the higher powers (at Apple of course) for the new Leopard operating system.













Not only does it do more than Windows Vista could have dreamed of - it's far more robust with FAR superior functionality.

And for those of you stuck in the dark ages of "Windows" - Leopard allows you to load Windows and run Windows-based applications on your Mac. So the question...why waste your hard-earned money on yesterday's "Windows" technology anymore?

Bottom line...it's time for a Mac. Chck them out here.

Stop in any Apple store and see for yourself.

Until next time...

A rare moment between Peter Wink & Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale

Hi Everyone,

I recently spent a few days hanging around with my good friend Dr. Joe Vitale - star of the hit movie "The Secret" and his lovely companion Nerissa "The Video Queen" Oden.















After a great dinner we had the chance to sit down in his luxury suite and chat for a couple hours. And of course, Nerissa videotaped everything!

Nerissa taped one real cool segment in particular that I want to share with you. Here, me and Joe discussed one of the ways I sold Nightingale-Conant on making him an author. The video is titled "Is this the way it happened?" and you can view it here.

If anyone reading this blog is interested in finding out how to REALLY sell to Nightingale-Conant or any other publisher, please e-mail me for a consultation. You can reach me at contact@peterwink.com. I'm also now available to help any aspiring author develop and market information products.

One other thing. I have to pay homage to a couple incredible marketers...Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter Miley "Hanna Montana" Cyrus. These two are business and marketing geniuses. Both are also great performers. I personally just purchased "I Learned From You" from iTunes and found it incredible!

Ok...I'm signing off to write some new segments for my upcoming new book.

Until next time...

Are you taking chances? OR...are you playing it safe?

Hi Everyone,

I came across this passage called "RISK" and wanted to share it with all of you. It's a great summation of risk/reward.

Risk

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to others is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, 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 risks must be taken,
because the greatest hazard in life is to do 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 attitudes, they are a slave,
they forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who risks can be free

BTW...If this passage strikes a chord with you, I would suggest reading it until it really sinks in. And then do something about it. Take a risk of some sort today! Success loves timeliness.

Ok...I have to run. I'm wrapping up the galley of my newest book. What's funny is that I'm almost finished -- 500 pages worth -- and I do not have a publisher yet. I may even publish it myself! Talk about risk! No worries, I finished my last book before I had a publisher and everything worked out just fine. Sometimes you have to step out on faith. Not religious faith - faith in yourself and your internal abilities!
