Peter has had an interesting journey to where he is now in life. He was sued for 17 million dollars by Hewlett-Packard, they tried to get him to settle, and he ended up in jail on contempt of court. He lost his business, and he lost millions of dollars. This wasn’t a criminal offense, instead, he served his time as a “civil prisoner” in one of the worst prisons in the UK. He took this opportunity to change the lives of people that really need help and committed himself to help his fellow inmates.
He thought of himself as a double agent of sorts, that would secretly try to change the lives of the inmates while he was in there. One time when a computer in the prison was left unattended, he printed out 50 copies of a motivational short story he’s been working on and passed them out to the prisoners. He was very proactive, including designing a new prisoner welcome booklet that is currently being adopted in US prisons in Arizona, Ohio, and other states.
Peter makes the point that we grow through challenges in our lives. We are intrinsically motivated by nature to overcome obstacles and learn from them. It’s never about the life you think you want to have, it’s our relationship to it. Many times, people adopt a victim mentality because things don’t work out the way that they want them to. It’s all about your outlook. If you trust the river of life, you don’t care whether it bends left or right.
Peter worked with the legendary motivational speaker Tony Robbins as one of his experienced trainers for 15 years. He’s learned that emotional maturity and biological maturity are not correlated. They are two completely different beasts, that need to be dealt with separately and treated with caution. He wanted to create a blueprint for success for people, and that eventually became his book “The Inside Track”. He shows you how you can overcome your self-limiting beliefs, challenges, and anything that life throws at you.
The mistakes we’ve made, the time we’ve spent inside, the times we’ve fallen off the wagon…. That’s our capital. Peter says to use your capital to earn your stripes and help others through the same struggle. You turn your adversity into a gift, that will help propel you and others down the road to recovery faster than you can imagine.
