International Speaker Peter Thurin launches Book CD be the best you can be

Cross the energy and enthusiasm of Steve Irwin with the charisma and inspiration of Anthony Robbins, and you come face to face with Peter Thurin, the founder of blackbelt in excellence.

In his new book and audio cd, 'be the best you can be', professional speaker, author, success mentor, international business consultant and human dynamo, Peter Thurin continues to inspire, by focusing on motivation, commitment and a passionately desired end result.

On his own life journey, Peter Thurin has owned and run several successful Melbourne pharmacies for over 20 years, represented Australia twice internationally in tennis, been the chairman of the match committee of one of Australia's largest junior Australian Rules football clubs, and achieved a third Dan blackbelt in taekwondo.

But Peter is the first to admit that his biggest challenge (and success) has been establishing his blackbelt in excellence programs, writing his first book and releasing the first of his CD's, 'be the best you can be'.

Inspiring and mentoring people across the country and around the world, Peter uses his rare energetic personality, skills and business experience to help people achieve their own personal blackbelt in excellence, empowering people to be the best they can be...one stripe at a time, one belt at a time, all the way to their very own "black belt". And now his book and audio CD achieve the same goals.

As Peter says, "One of my primary goals in releasing this book and CD is to encourage people to get into the game. Our achievements are determined by the decisions we make. Life is full of choices -'easy to do, easy not to do'. You have to decide whether you are merely interested in success or absolutely committed."

In 1997 Peter recognised the need to explore life beyond pharmacy. He started a new chapter in his life, launching black belt in excellence, a company created to galvanise businesses and personal clients to greater heights.

blackbelt in excellence helps individuals and teams set and achieve goals one step at a time, "one belt a time", and ensures everyone is moving in the same direction, ultimately fast tracking both their business and their personal success.

Peter's motivation to succeed is making an impact globally with the former pharmacist now in demand from major companies both in Australia and overseas.

He has presented for companies such as Lend Lease, KPMG, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Sigma Pharmaceuticals, Optus, Telstra, AMP, The Flight Centre, National Australia Bank, Seek, McDonalds, Orica, Arnotts, Apple, Nissan, Kodak, Metcash and many others.

Now, with his new book and the identically named audio CD 'be the best you can be', Peter Thurin provides a step-by-step guide to achieving personal and professional goals. Key focus areas include action, attitude, goals, continual improvement, commitment, change, motivation, discipline, confidence and fun, with Peter challenging his audiences to make the decision to transform their lives today.

"Why put goals off until the new year Why not today Why not right now"

Peter says consistent actions achieve great results, and his mixture of coaching, facilitating and consulting has proven to be a powerful success formula.

"My book and my audio CD will continue to inspire, motivate, direct and encourage as many people as possible to create an absolutely magnificent life. And it's never too late to start! I was 36 before I decided to get my black belt in martial arts, something I'd wanted to do as an 8 year old! Don't do what I did!!"
