About the author
Peter J. Daniels
22 books25 followersWhile coming from a poor dysfunctional family back-ground and suffering from ill health and dyslexia he never passed one grade at school. However, from this humble beginning he developed a deep faith in God and confounded the skeptics. At over seventy years of age he still aspires, works and looks like someone much younger.
Happily married to Robina for over 50 years he enjoys the love, friendship and support of a very close knit family with three children and eight grandchildren.
The mass media at times has called him an 'adrenalin charged salesman,' a ‘religious nut’ and a ‘battle scarred champion’ of a dozen crusades when he fought pornography.
The business community has said of him ‘he could motivate an Egyptian mummy to walk’ and yet others call him an ‘International Business Statesman’. Church leaders refer to him as a missionary to the business world and a merchant of hope, and speak widely of his generosity.
Books, magazines and newspapers print stories about his life, that is often featured on radio and television talk show and news reports. Schools and students throughout the world write essays about his life, his humble beginnings and his determination to succeed in whatever task he has before him. One newspaper said “he expects everything to be done yesterday and has an uncanny way of making sure that it is”.
He has received honors from universities, theological colleges, governments, business and humanitarian organisations from around the world.
Thousands flock to hear him speak wherever he travels across the globe and his books sell at a frantic pace. One of his presentations recorded on the subject of encouragement is attributed to have sold over one million copies.
He is a genius at creating simple business formulas to solve difficult problems and has spoken to more live audiences throughout the world than any other Australian.
The rise and rise of Peter J Daniels was painfully slow commencing fulltime menial work at thirteen years of age until he became a bricklayer and stonemason working piecework sometimes from 6am to 10pm seven days a week. The turning point in Peters life was when he became a born again Christian at a Billy Graham Crusade on May the 25th 1959 in South Australia. Not long after that event, he believed that God had given him two dreams. The first was to see how much money one human being could give away in their lifetime and the second, was to change the world for 300 years. In puirsuit of these dreams he purchased three dictionaries to learn words and practiced pronunciation and speech by listening to British broadcasters on radio who in those early days spoke impeccable English. Without a tutor or mentor he studied economics, politics, modern and ancient history, theology, law, philosophy and business.
He soon discovered that the mind was like a muscle and could be developed, and has now personally read over 5,000 biographies. Although he failed three times in business he never went bankrupt but persevered and met his commitments. For nearly two decades he built a thriving business in real estate in Australia with South-East Asian connections and finally sold out to follow other business pursuits.
In 1984 he launched his first book that was the catalyst of the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies which today, with a no debt philosophy, is one of the largest suppliers of Christian business education programs and books in the world.

"RULE 1: Clearly define your goals
RULE 2: Set out your strategy
RULE 3: Plan out the problems
RULE 4: Build in reserves
RULE 5: Relate everything to a time frame
RULE 6: Create a master plan
RULE 7: Actionize it now" ~ Peter J. Daniels, How to Reach Your Life Goals, Page 149.
If you want intelligent advise on achieving goals, then this is the book for you. This book is not for the novice goal-setter, but for the seasoned goal-setter. In fact, I would recommend that Steven K. Scott's book Mentored by a Millionaire be read and studied first before delving into this book, as this book will provide the Vision Mapping Process, which will help you to apply the strategies in this book with more effectiveness.

Oh my, I stumbled upon this awesome man of God with a third grade education and now, at 85+, he has his own "bank" for his family because he learned how to treat his customers and make money, but most of all, he learned how to give it AWAY!!!! He reached his goals with simple daily duties. Awesome book...all of them...Anything by Peter Daniels, buy it in HARDCOPY.

It was a very inspirational book that I rather studied than read. It is not a book that one can read in oane breath. It contains many good thoughts and advices that require deep meditation to be able to digest the. I will definitely come back to it as I will work on setting my goals.

I have read the book. It's phenomenal and detailed.

He has some minor good points to the book but overall if you have read any recent motivational books it much more thoroughly covered in those books. This is more like a bullet point book in its overall brief chapters. His large print and many blank pages would make this book a 50 page book whilst the version I read had 147 pages! It was also an expensive book in which he bragged at the meeting I attended of his, that he wrote it in 20 hours. Now I have read it, I would say the lack of good content would mean that more normal people could have done the same.

Peter J. Daniels is one of the few remaining heroes of yesteryears. It is rare to find people today who would say, "Give me success lest I die!" Peter is such. I love this "stubborn" spirit in him. I suggest you read this book - if you can find it. It is extremely hard to find. In it, he technically elaborated on the process of capturing and building a life goal. He has no time for low fliers and small dreamers. Do you have a 300 year dream? Now, thats how crazily stubborn Peter J. Daniels. I am glad I reread this book as my first for 2017.

A fairly good wrap up of goal setting. I liked it as he uses a descriptive language that is fresh to me.

Simple, clear and readable from a man who has lived it.
