Perspectives on Success: Do What You Love [Large Print]

By Peter Alevizos

"Success is being in the process of creating what you are certain is most important to you" - this powerful insight from Peter Alevizos drives his journey from Harvard graduate to real estate entrepreneur, and resonates throughout this insightful memoir.

Through candid reflection, Alevizos invites readers into pivotal moments that shaped both his business acumen and personal philosophy: his bold decision to develop Kauai Village Shopping Center with no prior experience, transforming Hurricane Iniki's devastation into financial opportunity, navigating a debilitating panic disorder that forced relocation to Florida, and nearly losing everything during the 2008 recession when "buzzards were circling."

For those seeking practical wisdom, Alevizos explains sophisticated real estate strategies with remarkable clarity, particularly the wealth-multiplying power of 1031 exchanges that transformed his initial Hawaiian success into a diverse portfolio worth "seven or eight times the original pretax gain." His straightforward approach to property cycles, financing, and strategic management offers a blueprint for thoughtful wealth creation.

What distinguishes this memoir is its balanced perspective on achievement. Alevizos writes with equal passion about coaching youth baseball and executing multi-million-dollar deals, revealing how his greatest fulfillment came from mentoring others and building a legacy for his children and grandchildren. His evolution from a career-focused young man to someone who discovered "there was more joy, happiness, and fulfillment in life when my orientation was toward others" offers profound insight for readers at any stage of their journey.

The carefully organized "Summary of Lessons" distills decades of experience into actionable wisdom-reflecting Alevizos's genuine desire to help readers avoid pitfalls while discovering their own authentic path.
