be the best you can be

Are you on track?

Many of us verbalise what we are going to do then have a tough time committing to following it through. I printed my goals in a newsletter and then was lucky enough to have those dolphins remind me to stick at it! So what are your goals for this year? Will you have the courage to stick with the program? Do you have the appropriate support crew around you? A gentleman I spoke to in a Byron Bay cafe said his goal this year was healthy eating - while he tucked into bacon and eggs and a hot chocolate with extra chocolate! So often you have heard me refer to "Easy to do. Easy not to do. It's your choice!" It's the accumulation of these "small" choices that leads to massive impact on your life. Your ability to have a positive influence on other people starts firstly with you caring about yourself.

Hi Peter I have finished reading your book which I was lucky enough to get at TLC Conference in Sydney. It has really inspired me. I just love your "WIN" idea....what's important now......when I get all staff to understand this principle the business will flourish...

Wishing you every success in 2012

In our desire for success and continuous improvement, in our constant busyness and focus on getting from A to B, we can miss out on some of the richest experiences life has to offer. We have to take time to stop and see what's going on around us.

Are you Prepared for Success?

At my very first major speaking engagement, I got one of my biggest lessons, one I'll never forget. I'd been asked to speak at a conference at Uluru (Ayers Rock); I'd never been there and I was really excited about going. It was a massive opportunity for me so, as always, I did my homework. I spent a huge amount of time on research and made sure I found out as much as I could about the company and their people. The key objectives for the conference were firmly fixed into my mind. And in the lead up to the conference I constantly communicated with the event organisers. Another speaker was on before me and it was then that I saw something I've never seen again: part way through this guy's address, the company's CEO pulled him off stage and said that's enough. His message was obviously inconsistent with those of the business he was speaking about. To see that happen in an auditorium full of people was a huge lesson for me that I now put into one word: preparation. While it was obvious that this speaker had let himself and the company down, I recognised that if you don't do your homework it could happen to you, to me or to anyone else.

Hi Peter, Your messages always give me an injection of positive energy, and as I was looking for something to talk about to my team at this morning's briefing, I opened up your website to look for ideas. I read thru many of your previous newsletters and shared some of the key points from your messages of how to make a difference little by little. You're truly an inspiration and role model for how to be the best you can be!! Colin Vickers General Manager Sheraton Hangzhou Wetland Park Resort Hangzhou, Zhejiang, P.R. China

Every time we get on a plane we’re reminded of one of life’s simplest lessons. It’s when the flight attendant tells us that, in the event of an emergency, an oxygen mask will drop from above. We’re told to secure our mask first before trying to help anyone else. The message is clear: make sure [...]
