Why I do what I do

The answer lies within this video.

    Great video…thanks for posting.

    Tears, tears, when I watched this video. Only because my inner child was the only support I had for years while I built the Tooth Soap biz. Everyone said it was a crazy idea and that it would fail. But the child within me said YES, YES, YES!

  • Claire Potter

    I loved this – thank you – so true and motivational…watch out for the next BIG entrepreneur: ME from the little UK! Safe travelling Peter x -and keep the positive stuff (and photies) coming!

  • Robin

    I NEEDED THIS TODAY… WHEN YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN OR WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH FOR SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE… THE CHILD IN YOU IS YOUR VOICE TO TELL YOU “YES”

    Very cool … and how true. It’s important that we carry the kid in us until we’re six feet under! Have fun in N’Awlins!

  • http://www.athena-mentor.com Marlena Corcoran

    Love this. Yes, this is really why we do it.

  • http://www.HandBookLive.com Laura Beken

    Thanks for the inspiration. It is so tiring to hear nothing but sales pitches, or doom and gloom predictions.

    Keep up the good work!

    This is the best all text video I’ve ever seen. I know it took, oh, talent and skill, but I wonder what program it was created in.

    Peter,

    Thank you for reminding me why I have always marched to a different drummer. Andrea Metcalf shared your video with me. Those who really know and love me understand that not only do I march to a different drummer, I’m in an entirely different parade. I have done things where all the experts said: “You can’t do that”. Well, I don’t take direction well. I think for myself and I tell brilliant women like Andrea and guys like Bob Bernard, my departed mentor at marchFIRST, the truth. Why? Let’s just say: “It’s a Jim Thing”. two years ago I stood up and challenged an entire committee of experts on corporate governance and was told by the former CEO of SEARS: “Son, I’ve been the CEO of several companies over the last 25 years and that is the dumbest idea I have ever heard of in my entire life”. At that moment I knew I had a killer idea and possibly the solution to just one of the the crises that are killing our country and it’s children’s futures. Only Time Will Tell and time is finally on my side.

    Just Jim

    Now I’m outta here. Being entrepreneurial is hard work and that was my only spare 2 minutes and 19 seconds

    Sweet and to the point! I am a new subscriber to your website and I thank you for all the information you provide daily. I am living my entrepreneurial dream in Wonderland Bakery helping to make the world a sweeter place one cookie at a time!

    That was a really nice video.

  • Tracy McCrackin

    It’s comforting to know we are not alone in this quest to do something that speaks of our soul or comes from our own imagination. Many have come before us, and many will follow after us, but this is our time to shine! The video was a wonderful inspiration to keep pushing forward. Loved it.

  • http://www.RainShadowVA.com Sharon

    A very creative, inspirational and motivational video. Thank you so much!

    Hello Peter,

    Very good message for adults and it would be an awesome message for kids. How about doing one just for the young people? They need to know about being an entrepreneur, about working to help others, optimism and opportunity.

    Everyone can help other people one way or another, and that would create a perfect world.

    Thank you for your words of wisdom.

    What an inspiring video. As a side-note, and just like kids let’s all remember we’re learning here and not to get to attached to anything except our idea and dream of realizing it. Change can be a good thing. Thanks for the vid.
