Book Description

Sep 3 2009
Peter Thomas has lived a tremendously successful and fulfilling life, despite personal tragedy and occasionally grave financial circumstances. He founded and built Century 21 Real Estate into the largest real estate network in Canada, and profitably spearheaded dozens of large-scale real estate developments all over North America. He has founded several more wildly successful businesses, the not-for-profit organizations LifePilot and the Todd Thomas Institute for Values-Based Leadership, flown a helicopter, dived to 850 feet in a submarine, and raced motorcycles. So why him?

Peter Thomas doesn’t believe he is a particularly gifted person or any smarter than the average man or woman in the street, but his achievements in business and philanthropy are world class. So what is the secret to building an exceptional life? The answer is that there are many paths to success, but what they all have in common is being true to the people on them, and you get to – have to – pick your own. Thomas shares his life, experience, and wisdom with you to illustrate his Five Foundations for achieving the life you want:

  • Values: Clarify your personal values and live them.
  • Focus: Understand the power of focus and how to apply it.
  • Visualization: If you can picture your goal, you can work towards it.
  • Inspiration: Celebrate the genius within you.
  • Reflection: Tap into positive forces you control.

For Peter Thomas, learning and applying these principles has brought him fame and fortune, aligned with a resolute conviction to help the less fortunate. There is no limit to what we are capable of achieving. Be Great is a manual for unlocking human potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a practical guide to SUCCESS in life Nov 21 2009
Format:Hardcover
We've read TONS and TONS and MILLIONS of books on personal development etc etc but this one REALLY stands head and shoulders above MOST of them.
It's small, but it packs a punch. There are no excess words to "pad out" this book. We predict this book will stay by your side for the rest of your life. You can pick it up and read JUST ONE PAGE - and that will give you enough soul "fodder" for the next week, or month, or even a year.
We didn't know much about the author Peter H. Thomas, but now we are definitely lifelong fans.
Do yourself a favour and buy this book. You'll be so very very glad you did. We have 5 copies on hand now - to give as a gift or lend out to a friend in need.
A MUST-HAVE BOOK. (Are you hearing us???)

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly inspirational story Nov 9 2009
Format:Hardcover
I believe that Peter Thomas has captured the zeitgeist of the time in his book "Be Great". Inspirational, fascinating personal history with a concrete approach--the one self-help book that reads like a thriller as I can't put it down

This Success book is the BEST I have ever read and has a big surprise!

When I heard this book was coming out, I was so excited as I have read Peters other books and they are on my favorites shelf.

Coolest thing about Peter is that he ALREADY made his fortunes before he got into the success book business. For me this gives him all kinds of authority and ANYONE that is looking for a BIGGER FUTURE TO WALK INTO should grab this book right now and find out how simple success really can be.

Best $20ish you could ever spend on yourself!
Loved it so much I purchased 10 books to give to my business friends and employees!
