]]>Peter Voogd has received a great deal of attention from a variety of outlets, due to his inspiring true story. Voogd was completely and totally broke, but did not allow his circumstances to define him. He set out on the path to riches and was able to go from being dead broke to having six figures within a mere six months. Peter Voogd was not content to sit back and rest on his laurels, so he wrote a book. The book, entitled 6 Months To 6 Figures became a bestseller.
The following are some of the most important lessons that every entrepreneur can learn from Peter Voogd and his book:
While most people would be inclined to give up when they are completely broke, Voogd did not let his situation bring him down. As a result, he was able to triumph under difficult circumstances. If nothing else, Voogd’s story should serve as inspiration to every would be entrepreneur out there. No matter what your current situation is or how many obstacles stand in your path, there is way to make all of your wildest dreams come true.
“Never let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours.” – Peter Voogd (highlight to share)
So many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of allowing themselves to be defeated before they have even had a chance to begin. Voogd did not. Since his story is no fairy tale and he provides realistic ways for his readers to achieve the same goals as he did, there is no reason why an entrepreneur should not be able to take some level of inspiration from it.
A regular complaint from the majority of entrepreneurs who are starting out is that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. Voogd knows this and his work is dedicated to showing entrepreneurs more efficient ways of doing things. He shows his readers how to get their bigger tasks accomplished in much less time, without taking any shortcuts that could potentially damage the quality of the work being produced.
His strategies are not sugarcoated for mass consumption and he did not rely on any sort of gimmicks to achieve his fortune. Voogd was able to make himself a millionaire several times over by the young age of 27, so his tactics are proven to work. His success is what gives him an immense amount of credibility in the entrepreneurial community.
A lesson that Voogd constantly preaches to his acolytes is the importance of selecting your inner circle wisely and knowing about the dangers of associating with the wrong kinds of people. There are certain people in your life who are just not as vital to your day to day survival as you may believe they are. There are some people in your life who do not matter and never will.
If you hang around with people who do not have goals and plans for their life, then you will end up in the same boat as them. On the other hand, if you spend your time around those who are driven and goal oriented, then you are able to soak up the lessons that their presence teaches you.
The term that Voogd uses to describe this phenomenon is “circle of influence”. In an ideal scenario, a person’s circle of influence would include several people that they can look up to, some true role models. While the term is bandied about too much in modern times, it is crucial for an entrepreneur to spend time around like minded people that they can gain valuable perspective from.
Voogd preaches the importance of being able to do more with less time and not being afraid to tell people no if what they are asking for will interfere with your ability to accomplish all of the necessary tasks for the day. Organizing your schedule is key and Voogd shows entrepreneurs how to organize their schedule in a manner that leads to maximum productivity.
Whereas some entrepreneurs believe that spending 80 hours a week working is the path to success, Voogd shows them how to work smarter and not harder. He realized that he was using 80 percent of his effort to accomplish 20 percent of his goals and made the needed changes so that he could flip those numbers to his benefit. He began to focus on the most important 20 percent of his daily activities, the ones that created 80 percent of his overall results.
Voogd speaks about confidence and why an entrepreneur needs to destroy their insecurity to move forward. In order to have the utmost confidence, an entrepreneur must have clarity. Clarity only comes to those who have done the proper amount of thinking and know what their goals are and what it will take for them to reach these goals.
An entrepreneur does not get anywhere unless they have a take charge attitude and believe in their own ability to make things happen. No one is going to come along and make things happen for you and this is a lesson that Voogd spends his time teaching to younger entrepreneurs who are struggling with uncertainty.
Talking about success is one thing, but having the guts that it takes to go out and actually pursue it in earnest is quite another. Obstacles are always going to be in your way, but a confident person knows that they have what it takes to overcome them.

]]>In this episode Peter Voogd shares his book, 6 Months To 6 Figures, where he reveals the exact strategies he’s used to go from dead broke to over 6 figures in 6 months in multiple industries.
In his book, Voogd gives you real world, tactical strategies to maximize your income, get large projects done in less time, and create the perfect lifestyle for you. The goal of the book is to help you enjoy higher levels of fulfillment, more passion, increased energy, and constant achievement.
This book is perfect for entrepreneurs who are tired of an inconsistent income, have low productivity, and don’t have enough time to get things done, but are serious about becoming successful.
Everything is based on experience, results, and past succeed and failure. It’s the no sugarcoating way to get to where you want to be. And it’s real world tactical strategies from my 10 years of experience. I also have a real authentic and raw understanding of what it takes to motivate and inspire the millennials and leaders of today.
This book is designed to help you create 6 figures in 6 months but every single chapter has questions and a worksheet that you can go through and fill out. Once you read each chapter I want the reader to implement the concepts, read the chapter again, and implement until you see results. Once you see results in your life and business then you can go to the next chapter.
You have to understand the power of focusing on mastery verses overload. Those who have more than three priorities really don’t have any. People are so overloaded with information and the second you become overwhelmed you seek distraction. The number one reason why most people don’t succeed is because they never have ever told themselves that now matters.
Since I already explained chapters one and two I will start with chapter three. Chapter three is the money mindset and what money really matters. So the big focus is getting in the right mindset to attract money and I go through eight very tactical strategies on how to make sure you’re maximizing your income in the most efficient, intentional, and effective way possible.
From there I go to the actual six steps to six figures and I do a broad spectrum on my story and how I came about. The first must is absolute clarity. When I was broke and struggling I realized I need to get clear on who I was, who I wasn’t, what my strengths were and what I wanted. It’s easy to make decisions when you determine what your values are so I realized that I hated being broke and I knew I didn’t want to settle for a normal job or work for someone else. In this part of the book I walk the read through a 90 day challenge where they pick their goals for the month and they figure out the most top 10 compelling reasons to hit those goals. I also talk about the power of reverse engineering. This is where you figure out your ideal six month outcome.
After you have absolute clarity, you got to increase your most important account which is your confidence account. Everybody has a confidence account inside them and based on that confidence account is what they’ve accomplished or haven’t accomplished. So I go through the biggest tactics and comprehensive tips on how to build your confidence. I talk about the biggest thing you can do to build your confidence is choose growth in the moment.
The third aspect I talk about is shifting your circle of influence. I walk the reader through an activity I learned at a Tony Robbins business mastery event that made the whole event worthwhile. And I give away hundreds of thousands of dollar information in here. I also give the reader an outline e-mail on what you can send to millionaires and billionaires to reach out to and get a response.
After you shift your confidence you then want to make sure that you have consistent energy and motivation. I go through energy tactics and how to maximize your energy and motivations. Those who don’t make time for exercise and energy will eventually have to make time for illness. I realized that no matter how successful you are, if you don’t have energy, you have nothing.
Next is about peak performance secrets of the world’s greatest. I’ve studied peak performance for 10 years and I’ve put my best 10 tactics in this section on 10 game changing productivity strategies that you can use right away to really help your results.
The next chapter is crafting your perfect result rituals. And what I’ve realized is the amount of stress people have in their life is in direct correlation to the lack of systems or rituals they have in place. So I literally go through how to create rituals to make sure you have topnotch habits.
Lastly I talk about how to continually grow and how to make sure you’re becoming who you need to become to build a world class life. This is not just how to make six figures, it’s how to sustain it year after year and how to build a champion type world class life that is inspiring for others as well.

I am a serial entrepreneur and I have been running businesses since I was 15 when I started an eBay business. I wasn’t always the best student or involved in school but I really had a niche in entrepreneurship and business. I got into direct sales when I was 20-21 and I did that for a while when I worked my way up to being a district manager where I was running a sales team. I actually had some pretty big failures along the way and learned a lot of my successes from my failures. I was able to go from dead broke and stressed to earning my first six figure income and do it over and over going.
It really came from experience and me training close to 5,000 young professionals and seeing where our society was heading and being in school not learning anything that really helped me in the real world. I began to realize that this was needed at the highest level. I realized that I had to take it upon myself to create a blueprint that an entrepreneur or a young person can read and have 100% clarity on how to be successful in this challenging economy.
