"When you combine intelligence, enthusiasm, confidence and selflessness, you get Pistol Pete. What makes him stand SO FAR above other self-proclaimed “coaches” is that he actually WALKS what he TALKS. I challenge you to take a good, hard look at some of the other “coaches” out there…are their websites crowded with “power-posed” pictures of THEMSELVES? What does that tell you about their true agenda? And where are the testimonials from those whose lives they have touched? AND WHERE ARE THEIR CREDENTIALS? Pistol isn’t a cold, direction-spitting pile of rehearsed lines, he CONNECTS through EXPERIENCE…and that’s truly a gift."

"THANKS for an amazing class you put on for my sales and marketing team! It was fun, informative, and really helped stimulate conversation. After you left we spent another hour in the conference room discussing what we had learned and how we could improve our E (vent) + R (esponse)= O(utcome). We need to have you back soon!"
-John Harms, President and founder of Harms Software, Boonton, New Jersey www.harms-software.com
"Before I began coaching with Peter, I had done everything I was “supposed” to do to be successful—obtained a master’s degree and got a job in my chosen field—and yet I still wasn’t creatively fulfilled and couldn’t manage my money or my weight. I felt like I was sitting in a boat with no oars; the current of my life was sweeping me along and I had no say in the direction or the destination.
Pete is your best teacher, most demanding drill sergeant and your favorite camp counselor all in one. Peter helped me develop an action plan for how I would lose weight, manage my finances and build my fiction writing career, and then ensured that I was fully equipped with necessary tools (through books, coaching and advice from his own experiences) to execute that action plan. His boundless energy and encouragement gave me much-needed motivation to fulfill my goals, and his relentlessness ensured that, at the end of the day, I felt accountable not only to him but to myself.
After just 3 months of coaching with Peter, my goals are no longer abstract fantasies but tangible achievements; best of all, I feel in complete control of my destiny."
-Stefanie, Astoria, NY, age 30.
"After a layoff, complications from multiple sclerosis, a bad injury and consecutive bad relationships left me feeling as if I’d been kicked repeatedly while down for 3 years straight, I knew that I had to change my life. Completely. I knew that I needed to blow things up and start building from scratch, but I felt so stuck that I didn’t know where or how to begin. In just the first month of coaching with Pete, I began to see how I had been limiting myself and what possibilities really were open to me. The first weeks were really hard, but Pete guided me through what he called the “growing pains” of the process with both the straight talk that I needed to hear and compassion. I’m looking forward to really kicking things into gear with the photography and imaging work that I love as well as continuing to unlock my full potential through more coaching. Oh, yes, things are gonna blow up…in a good way."
"Peter Kaufmann is indeed a 'pistol': his bullet is filled with passionate, goal-driven, hardcore but compassion-wrapped coaching...and his target is YOUR LIFE! When he hits his bullseye, your life will go from aimlessly dreaming about your future and wondering what steps to take, to waking up early every morning with a plan to kick tomorrow's ass! I recommend Pistol Pete to everyone who doesn't need coddling, but needs a super-sized kick in the ass and a map to go with it. He rocks!"
-Ebony Nicole, Dallas, Texas
"Two years ago I left the corporate world and started my own business doing the thing I loved most in the world. That's lesson number one from Rockin' Lifestyle - follow your dream, make your work the thing you'd do for free. Still, it wasn't easy, and I frequently needed reminders and encouragement from Pete on how to grow my business and stay focused on my work. He helped me target my approach, tailor my marketing and prioritize my days so I had achievable goals. I would have been lost without that Rockin' kick in the butt most days."
- Jayne Freeman, Mamarama- talk show host & childbirth educator.
"Pistol made a living out of his dream cause he never lost faith. He got balls, man! His ideas are totally based on experience and I must say that his advice really supported me dealing with the music biz. Great to know he's there. Pistol is a rocker!"
-Mathias Brendel, (drummer for Peaches) Berlin, Germany
"From the first day we met, I was impressed with Peter's energy and drive, life philosophy and positive outlook. His message is so simple yet powerful and I truly hope that more and more people will pay attention and be influenced in their own lives to achieve their dreams. I have worked with Presidents and CEO’s during the last 20 years and I see the same intelligence, brilliance, energy, wisdom, and drive in Peter that they have possessed. I predict an amazing future ahead for Pete where he'll influence and help thousands of people to change their lives for the better."
"I give Rockin Lifestyle an A+ for giving me three F's: foundation, focus, and fearlessness."
-Lisa Ocasio, Brooklyn, New York
"Several years ago, I was in a point of my life where I had hit rock bottom. I lost my apartment & was forced to move back in with my mom. I had ended a bad relationship that left me drained & disappointed. I had lost my job & basically had no career direction. When I met Pete, I was sleeping on my mom’s couch while working a dead end job. He gave me wonderful advice & guidance that empowered me and allowed me to value myself. What I like most about Pete's method is HE'S NO HOLDS BARRED! He gets to the point and doesn’t hold back. At the present moment, I have a great apartment & I am pursuing my dream of acting with much success. I owe a lot of my new found happiness to Pete’s guidance. I can’t thank him enough for all his help!!"
-Massiel Hernandez, Jersey City, NJ
"Thank you Pete, from my heart, thank you. Your words are like a breath of fresh air in a world that is so stale, confusing, and can be so defeating. Keep up the good work spreading the love and positivity around the world. Everything has a beginning and and end, a start and a finish. It's up to us a human beings to make it a positive experience so others can learn from our accomplishments and then we can pay it forward like you do. You have inspired me to be a better more accepting person. You have inspired me to live a "Rad Rockin' Lifestyle". You really do ROCK Pistol Pete!"

I hope you're doing great on the other side of the planet xxx"

“ Thanks for coming to talk to and inspire our small but dedicated group of artisans last night. Your energy and advise was just what we needed!

"I can’t tell you how much it means to us that you spoke to our group. The information that you presented was great and I have put to use several of your ideas. Your charismatic personality and approach grabbed all of us in the room, and kept us on the edge of our seats. We all came away energized and I think with higher expectations of our selves and more confidence in our own individual missions. In my opinion, you were one of the best speakers that we have had."

"Pistol doesn’t sugarcoat his advice, he tells you what you need to hear, when you need to hear it. It’s just a matter of whether or not you want to put in the work. The advice he’s given me is invaluable and I feel made a significant impact on my approach to music and to everyday life."

"Despair sometimes brings clarity, and a death of a loved one and a sad divorce I finally see with perfect clarity the importance of fueling your soul. Aligning myself with Rockin' Lifestyle is one of many conscience and strategic steps I am taking in my life to surround myself with the positive and see the glass half full. Pistol pumps me up every day. He brings light into the small moments of my day which otherwise might very well be mundane."
