Over the years Peter has the top motivational and inspirational speakers to hundreds of cities across America. Peter’s speakers include presidents, athletes, and leaders from every industry.

I’ve had the privilege of speaking for Get Motivated for over three years. It’s a terrific organization.

Dr. Robert Schuller and I at a Get Motivated Seminar

I just got back from speaking at Get Motivated Seminars in San Bernadino and Fresno. One of the highlights was getting to share the stage with Dr. Robert Schuller, founder of the Crystal Cathedral, host of the Hour of Power, and author of countless books I’ve been reading ever since high school.

Read some of Dr. Schuller’s books. They are inspirational and will help you get to the top.

Can’t Blame White Folks - by Bill Cosby

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Olympic motivational speaker Ruben Gonzalez

They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.

I can’t even talk the way these people talk:Â

Why you ain’t,Â

Where you is,Â

What he drive,Â

Where he stay,Â

Where he work,Â

Who you be…Â

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.Â

Children Explain What Love Really Means…

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Â
What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?”

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think :

____

“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”

Rebecca- age 8

_____

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”

Billy - age 4 (I love this one)

_____

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”

Karl - age 5
