Hello and welcome to Maverick Gold, your home for all things contrarian. Earl Nightingale, once said, “If you want to be successful in life, simply watch what most people would do in a given situation, and then do the total opposite – nine times out of ten, you’ll receive greater rewards.” And from the handlebar on his face to the boots on his feet, Dr. Peckham is nothing if not a contrarian! He was raised a vegetarian and home schooled before either one was considered cool; in fact they were downright weird. He rides an Indian and Appaloosas rather than a Harley or Quarter Horses. As a dentist he insists on putting his patient’s health first, refusing to let either the insurance industry or the medical/dental establishment dictate or limit his patient’s treatment options – he actually fought clear to his state’s Supreme Court to defend and win that freedom!
If you are addicted to victimhood and the blame-game, you won’t find much sympathy here. If you would rather blame corporate greed, your bad genes, or your absent wicked mother for your lack of success, health, or happiness rather than stand up and take responsibility, you’d best move on now. Not that those things don’t exist, they just will never be overcome until we change our thinking.
If, however, you are ready to take control of your life – your happiness, your finances, your time, your health – both physical and mental, your marriage, and your environment – even global warming. If you think you might have what it takes, or are at least interested in getting what it takes, to break free and live to your full potential. If you are really ready to take that road less traveled… then let’s get going. It all starts with the Maverick’s Cross of Wisdom.
