About Peter Nguyen
Peter graduated from McGill University in 1999 with a degree inmanagement specializing in B2B marketing.Prior to going back to school in 1996, he worked in the 1990s for severalFortune 500 and large companies to perfect his marketingcommunications skills while learning about and adopting corporate-standard business practices.CORPORATE EXPERIENCEAt IBM, he learned about the spectacular turnaround strategiesingeniously crafted by famed CEO Lou Gerstner. At American Express, as a Fortune 100 corporateaccount administrator, he learned about high-level account management and relationshipmarketing. At CDI Corporate Education Services, he learned about the exciting corporate trainingindustry and e-learning.ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURESAfter winning an entrepreneurship contest while in high school, Peter launched several ventures inthe 1990s: a commercial sign business, a handbound notebook distributed through retail outlets, acalligraphy studio and a graphic design studio. Except for the notebook business, most of theseventures did not succeed, yet served as valuable learning grounds for sharpening Peter's businessacumen. Peter realized that despite repeated business failures, he was able – surprisingly – tomaintain his passion for creation, innovation and entrepreneurship. This was a major insight whichhas served him to this day, and has sparked in him a strong interest in helping entrepreneurs and allthose who wish to venture into business for exploring and actualizing their creative potential.FIRST ENTREPRENEURIAL SUCCESSIn 2000, Peter launched Major Force, a marketing communications with an office in Old Montreal,and met with business success for the first time. He worked for three years with friend and partnerQuoc Pham, and was able to serve several corporate clients successfully. By reverse engineering hisown success, Peter was able – with much support and encouragement from sister Zoonie – todevelop in 2006 the BMW workshop, which specializes in helping first-time entrepreneurs tounderstand, grasp and master business fundamentals so as to dramatically maximize their chances of success in the tough world of business. The workshop and its underlying tenets are described athttp://businessmodelworkout.blogspot.com and is also available as an audiobook (DVD) shippedworldwide. Peter intends to teach the BMW principles to the 30 million users of Linkedin, since itseems inevitable to him that most rational people will eventually decide to work for themselvesrather than for someone else.SOUL SEARCHINGIn 2003, he left Major Force to his partner and began a soul-searching journey to discover his truepurpose in life. In 2005, through a close collaboration with his sister Zoonie, he created an informalnetwork called Share & Learn, which consisted of various workshops delivered to people who wantedto better manage their career.
 
SERVING WOMENOn February 14, 2006 he co-founded Talentelle with Zoonie, and the firm was positioned as astrategic training firm specialized in serving women. Currently approaching its third anniversary,Talentelle is poised for taking off globally in multiple countries, thanks to two planned Internet-powered ventures designed to informate, digitize, globalize and automate its operations:eTalentelle.com and Innovatelle.com.Peter views serving women as the best way to make the biggest difference, since most womeneventually become mothers and mothers are usually in charge of teaching the young – the future of tomorrow.LIFETIME LEARNERThroughout his entire life, Peter has always maintained a learner's attitude, and has suspended judgment about what may seem like failure. He has also developed the reflex of documenting all hislessons learned as well as mistakes made. This Book of Strategic Knowledge is the result of hisunshakable belief in the power of knowledge to guide, empower and elevate the lives of all humanbeings. Without strategic knowledge, a good life is not possible. Without strategic knowledge, lifewill inevitably be filled with unnecessary frustration, disappointment, stress, suffering and evendespair at times.As a survivor of the Vietnam war who came to Canada when he was only five years old, Peter iskeenly aware that Man is capable of the worst atrocities against fellow human beings. But he is alsoaware that Man can create knowledge of surprising ingenuity for the benefit of all.HOPE FOR MANKINDAfter years of reflection, analysis and meditation since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001Peter has realized that knowledge-sharing is the only hope of mankind at this critical turning point inthe history of human civilization. If those who know or who receive knowledge do not share it, theworld risks entering a second Dark Ages, not characterized this time by the absence of knowledgebut by the widespread presence of deceptive, fragmented and misleading “knowledge.”By creating this Book of Strategic Knowledge – a Herculean yet enjoyable exertion of all thebrainpower he could muster – Peter hopes you will participate in this worthwhile endeavor by sharingit with friends, family and coworkers so that all the people within your reach can have a chance of sampling the ideas and knowledge in this book.Although this book is forever incomplete and continually evolving (the latest edition is available athttp://bookofstrategicknowledge.wordpress.com), it is the best that Peter can produce as a creativeand passionate intellectual. And it is his gift to you, your friends and family.
