Carol Wingert and Twenty Twenty at FallingwaterHey mate,

So last year, just days after my 41st birthday I changed my name to the number of perfect vision.  It was not a hard decision, it was just a matter of principle.

Twenty Twenty is the number for perfect vision. I have chosen to change my name to this number, to remind me and others of the need for purpose, and clarity in life.

“If I live my life as a visionary, challenging the paradigms that hold myself and others back, challenging the thinking that results in mediocrity and addiction, and challenging myself to bring more of my authentic self to the world, I can’t help but believe that the generations to come will benefit, as will the lives of my kids and grandkids.”

I challenge you to take some action today, to clarify the principles that you live by, and realize just how powerful you are, how how much impact your life can have.

Best to you,

Mr. Twenty Twenty

Mr. Twenty Twenty asks, are we all junkies?

June 25th, 2008 . by Twenty Twenty

I jumped up from my chair.  I spilled my coffee.  I was hot!

“You are all junkies! You just don’t get it”.

I wanted scream this at the top of my lungs. I wanted to grab them, shake them, wake them up from their near life experience.

“You put your power outside of you, thinking that getting something, or getting over one someone, or getting something out there to happen is going to make you happy. It won’t. It might make you feel good, for just a little while, but it won’t make you happy.”

“I watch you struggle, trying to move toward some unclear goal, something that sounds good, but doesn’t have any level of real meaning, purpose or excitement for you.”

“I feel the frustration you have, because I’ve been there, done that, and I know that you know that it just won’t work out as well as you want it to.”

“Your intentions to change your life are good, but you just are missing something, you are missing something vital. As vital as oxygen!”

It’s the difference between force and flow.

The Three Keys to Inner Vision lead to flow!

“You don’t have Vision. You don’t have Clarity. You don’t have focus.”

You need details.

You don’t have VISION! You need to really feel, how your life and actions impact your world, the people you love, even those people who aren’t born yet, your life impacts the generations that will be coming soon! Feel this!

You don’t have CLARITY! - You aren’t clear about what needs to be done every day. You don’t get that taking deliberate daily actions toward what you want makes a huge difference. So does developing the behaviors, the habits, that will keep you healthy, energized and sane while you move forward.

You don’t even have FOCUS! - What do you really want? Who do you a really want to become? What kind of lifestyle do you want? Have you ever really bothered to explore those questions, share them with a mentor or coach, or are you simply asking youself what will feel good in the moment.

“Years ago, I started developing this course for Junkies and Addicts. Today I realize that almost everyone I meet can benefit from this kind of exploration. This is just a small part of Eyes Wide Open, and yet it’s a huge key to unlocking all the promise that your future holds.”

Most people won’t take radical action with these concepts. Many won’t  even remember them 30 minutes from now, when they are eating chicken wings, and drinking beer. You. You might be different.

You just might be different.

If you are inspired by this, if you realize we are all Junkies and Addicts to a degree, and are ready to make a difference, I request that you take action.

We have Phone Trainings. We have Live Trainings. We have resources.

This tiny little summary is just the beginning. Like a first kiss, or the feeling you get when getting ready to take that leap off the edge, and into the unknown!

It’s your turn. Make it matter! Stop putting the power outside of you, get rid of your excuses, start developing the level of power and promise you and your family deserve.

Do what ever it takes, and if you need a friend, you know where you can find one.

Mr. Twenty Twenty claims Tiger Woods found the key to solving Addiction – but he won’t tell anyone.

June 17th, 2008 . by Twenty Twenty

Mr. Twenty Twenty claims Tiger Woods found the key to solving Addiction – but he won’t tell anyone.

Go ahead, ask Tiger his secret, I bet he doesn’t tell you. I can tell you that his visionary way of thinking, is the cure for addiction, mediocrity, and inner blindness. That’s why he is so ultra successful, has an air of confidence, and wins repeatedly.

Mr. Twenty Twenty is a Professional Visionary, Author, and Dynamic Results Trainer who states that your style of thinking will determine how successful, frustrated, powerful or pathetic you are in life.

It’s not about positive thinking, it’s about the style of thinking you embraced as a teenager. The good news according to Mr. Twenty Twenty, is that almost everyone can be trained to think like a visionary.

“Think about it, we call people who are exceptional, visionaries. We do that for a reason that we really don’t realize. People who rise to the top literally have trained their minds to see. They see problems, they see opportunities, they see how they relate, and they see solutions.” They have highly developed visual systems in their thinking, and the specific strategies to use their visual systems effectively.

On the other hand, people who are stuck in a rut, suffer from chronic mediocrity, become drug addicts, or who are just plain whiners, they tend to have fallen into a habit of thinking mostly in words. They bought what Twenty Twenty calls, “the right answer way of life.”

Back in school, many kids figured out the way to being successful in school was simple. Just answer the question asked by the teacher with the “right answer”, and sit back down in your chair. Instant success. This behavior worked great in school, got you an A if you did it often enough, and even got you a nice shiny tin foil star back in grade school.

But in the real world, things aren’t that simple. Often there isn’t an authority figure, like the teacher asking you questions, nor is there a textbook to read to get the answers. This is why 7 years ago, Mr. Twenty Twenty started training entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and corporate executives to develop and unleash their Inner Vision.

“In the real world, where results and actions matter, those who can literally see a problem, see an opportunity, see how they relate, and see a solution are those who live the most satisfying lives, make the most money, and become world famous. Those who try to figure it all out with words, often become addicts, experience stress related diseases, and suffer daily settling for a near life experience.”

Sales companies have found Mr. Twenty Twenty’s training priceless, since saying the right answer to a client doesn’t cut it anymore, but being able to see and show how your product can solve their problem is what closes the sale. The old fashioned method of selling doesn’t quite work all that well anymore.

“Countless lives could be saved, if we applied my 3 Visionary Keys to education. Because kids know what to say, “Say no to drugs” for example. The government actually taught kids to say no to drugs. The problem has become much worse, since kids and adults know what the right answer to say is, but can’t see the consequences to their actions.”

Mr. Twenty Twenty has developed a 3 step process he calls, Eyes Wide Open – Unleashing The Visionary within. It’s part of a new book he is releasing this fall, and you can get a free 30 minute audio introduction by going to: (link coming soon)

Mr. Twenty Twenty, when he was 41 years old, went to court, and legally changed his name, to the number representing perfect vision to bring his mission of ending Inner Blindness, and releasing the untapped power of your Inner Vision to the world.

Who is Mr. Twenty Twenty - The Ex Hostage and Professional Visionary

May 14th, 2008 . by Twenty Twenty

“I want to Entertain, Educate and Empower! I want to change the world!”

Mr Twenty Twenty“Your Life and your Destiny are determined by the choices you make, and who you perceive yourself to be. I challenge you today to take action, eliminate your excuses, and decide to live your life with Inner Clarity, Vision and Focus.”

Imagine being taken hostage! Imagine being a newly married Prison Guard and being taken hostage in a 3 day prison riot, where you are blindfolded, beaten and left for dead. This is exactly what happened to the man now known as Mr. Twenty Twenty.

Back then his name was John Wingert, and he was taken hostage in the Camp Hill Prison Riots of 1989.

Officially diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, he immersed himself into Native American Philosophy and Skills, and the mind science of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Deep searching within, combined with a quest for personal excellence helped him discover and refine the life transforming processes of Inner Vision and Core Identity Discovery.

Since then he has taken back his life, and used his skills and experience to transform the lives of his private clients, customers and seminar attendees. He has developed and produced over 35 audio and video products, and he has three books due to be published in the fall of 2008.

“Mr. Twenty Twenty has a passion is to help youth, and men become leaders and live lives full of passion, excitement and purpose by incorporating the power of Inner Vision and Core Identity Discovery into their lives.”

In April 2007, Just 4 days after his 41st birthday, he changed his name legally from John Wingert, to Twenty Twenty (20/20) - The Number of Perfect Vision - to help the world put an end to the plague of Inner Blindness.

“We have to stomp out Inner Blindness. Inner Blindness, to me is the root cause of addiction, mediocrity, feelings of isolation, and impotence. Look around, the masses of people have allowed themselves to lose all sense of Inner Vision. Most people don’t have the ability to SEE problems or opportunites, they can’t see solutions or how to take action, most people don’t see how their lives impact the people around us. “

In our culture, we have replaced VISION with TALKING.

“We have become a Inner Blind culture, that tries to make up for this blindness by talking more. We teach kids that saying the right answer is more important than seeing what a situation is and developing a solution. As a culture, we grumble, we complain, we share our stories of victim hood, and the solution is simple. We must learn how to SEE again.”

“Think about it, you can be taught the right answer, the answer everyone wants to hear. Teaching someone to behave like a parrot is easy.”

“On the other hand, TRAINING someone to OBSERVE what is going on, so they can NOTICE the Problem and the See the Opportunity it presents, that takes more time, more resources, and yes it does have a very huge payoff.”

Mr. Twenty Twenty is available for corporate and civic speaking engagements, private trainings, and holds small group trainings and bootcamps 6 times a year in Austin, Texas; Pittsburgh, PA; and Las Vegas, Nevada.
