Unlikely to Unstoppable: Stories from Everyday Entrepreneurs
$28
Have you ever wondered about the lives of people we fleetingly encounter every day?
The person plowing your driveway. The cosmetologist styling your hair. The financial analyst guiding your retirement planning. What roads did they travel? What compass directed them? The authors of Unlikely to Unstoppable, professional researchers, insightfully curated thirteen brief, personal accounts of individuals reflecting on memorable moments of first steps, corrective actions, and candid assessments of the choices made. Each ponders the meaning of success and whether they’ve actually achieved it. Some identified their paths from an early age, others meandered, trusting their guts. All struggled. Readers will encounter humor, inspiration, and a human connection with these “everyday entrepreneurs” that might just motivate us all to become unstoppable!
Jennifer Collins and Elizabeth Clark will change how you envision and define a successful person. The stories are diverse in background, but they share the same idea: success is not a matter of chance but of persistence and strategic decision-making. The authors effectively weave together the journeys of individuals who faced adversity yet refused to be defined by their circumstances. While Ted was not directly interviewed, his presence in the book is deeply felt, adding a profound layer to the overall tone. The book challenges conventional notions of success, urging readers to reconsider their personal definitions and to take the first step toward their ambitions. – Readers Favorite Review
