Book description

BE DETERMINED. BE DRIVEN. BE UNSTOPPABLE.

Don't just coast through life - power through. Stop making plans that don't come to fruition. Everyone's busy, but nobody's getting much done. It's time to start achieving our life goals and not letting life itself get in the way.

GET ORGANIZED. LEAD. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. DELIVER RESULTS.

With training from accomplished business coach and endurance triathlete Pete Wilkinson, you'll learn how to hone a razor sharp focus, keep driving through to the finishing line and become what you've always wanted to be. You'll learn how to be more productive, expand your support system, and make things happen. You'll discover your strengths and weaknesses, and how to leverage one and delegate the other. With a practical, straightforward action plan for life, Unstoppable will help you:

  • Gain a crystal-clear overall focus

  • Direct your attention to key areas of priority

  • Lead yourself and others more effectively

  • Make the most of each day's 86,400 seconds

  • Improve personal and professional relationships

    • So, dust off your aspirations and drag them into the light. Get rid of the frustration, regain your focus, and start making your goals a priority. Unstoppable gives you a roadmap to your very best destination.
