The Unstoppable Entrepreneur: The Empowering Truth About Success - Stephen and Rachel Jackson

Tuesday, February 12, 2019




About the Book

How would it feel to reach your full potential? To win big—despite past mistakes and setbacks? What would it feel like to conquer your giants and bring to life the dreams of your heart? 

What if you knew you would live fulfilled and confident the rest of your life despite the uncertainty of tomorrow? To know the future you’d always hoped for wasn’t just possible—but inevitable? 

We all want to be the hero of our own story—to rise above mediocrity to the pinnacle of success. We long to find the inner strength to finally breakthrough, especially in our businesses. We want to be unstoppable entrepreneurs, but most days we hardly feel like it. 

What is the secret of unbreakable determination? Unrelenting will? Where do these businessmen and women get their unending perseverance? Those that built their brand from the ground up, these juggernauts of vision, were not born blessed to get ahead. They learned, and grew and became a force to reckon with, just like you will. 

The truth is you’re not as far off as you might think. In fact, you’re only four-steps away from your unstoppable future. My wife and I have built a business on our passion; building unstoppable entrepreneurs. 








Throughout our journey we encountered thousands of motivated, dedicated, all-in leaders many of whom are 6, 7, and 8 figure earners. Out of this tribe of incredible entrepreneurs there are those who gave everything; their health, their relationships, their finances to an idea of success that wasn’t a true reflection of their values. Many of them lost in business, but all of them lost in life. 

Others have found a better way—the road less traveled. Leaders who have become unstoppable and redefined success for themselves and have triumphantly built a business that genuinely supports that definition. 

What if that’s what true success is? And what starts us on the path to becoming unstoppable? Constructing a life built on what you love as defined by the individual. 

Sure, you can have a generalized picture of success wrapped up in a couple hundred-thousand Instagram followers who gawk over the outrageous and luxurious. But when the dust settles and no one’s around you’re left with your own life. It’s just you and your definition of success and fulfillment. 

Success is defined by you and only you. Whether it’s having a corner office on the top floor of a skyscraper, making more so you can give your money to orphans in Thailand, or serving on your children’s P.T.A. it all comes down to your individual stamp of SUCCESS. 

There is no One-Size-Fits-All-Blueprint to success and fulfillment. Instead it’s individuals willing to work this four-step process for themselves, because every blueprint must be personally realized. 

Let this book be your breath of fresh air, defibrillation shock, and paradigm shift to an unstoppable future. Vulnerability will become your faithful ally. All your doubts and let downs will be your launching pad. 

Have courage and peel back the lies. Take down the safety nets. Wipe off the makeup. 

We’ve made it our mission to build Unstoppable Entrepreneurs. Today, if you choose to face yourself, your past, your abilities without judgment, then you can become unstoppable in any venture, but it comes at a cost. A cost we encourage you to pay now. Face the inner corridors of your mind and fight back the temptation to compromise or settle on a mediocre half-lived life. Your dreams and passions are worthy of your time and energy. 

Do you want to win in life? Then let us lead you on the better way—the road less traveled. It’s calling your name. (From Goodreads)

Tune In (The Beatles: All These Years) - Volume 1 - Mark Lewisohn

Saturday, December 3, 2016

My Rating
★★★★★ - You have bewitched me, body and soul. (More Info)

About the Book
Now in paperback, Tune In is the New York Times bestseller by the world’s leading Beatles authority – the first volume in a groundbreaking trilogy about the band that revolutionized music.


The Beatles have been in our lives for half a century and surely always will be. Still, somehow, their music excites, their influence resonates, their fame sustains. New generations find and love them, and while many other great artists come and go, the Beatles are beyond eclipse.

So . . . who really were these people, and just how did it all happen?

'The Beatles story' is everywhere. Told wrong from early on, rehashed in every possible way and routinely robbed of its context, this is a phenomenon in urgent need of a bright new approach. In his series All These Years, Mark Lewisohn – the world-recognized Beatles historian – presses the Refresh button to relate the entire story as it’s never been told or known before. Here is a full and accurate biography at last. It is certain to become the lasting word.

Tune In is book one of three, exploring and explaining a period that is by very definition lesser-known: the formative pre-fame years, the teenage years, the Liverpool and Hamburg years – in many ways the most absorbing and incredible period of them all. The Beatles come together here in all their originality, attitude, style, speed, charisma, appeal, daring and honesty, the tools with which they’re about to reshape the world. It’s the Beatles in their own time, an amazing story of the ultimate rock band, a focused and colorful telling that builds and builds to leave four sharp lads from Liverpool on the very brink of a whole new kind of fame.

Using impeccable research and resources, Tune In is a magisterial work, an independent biography that combines energy, clarity, objectivity, authority and insight. The text is anti-myth, tight and commanding – just like the Beatles themselves.

Here is the Beatles story as it really was. Throw away what you think you know and start afresh. 

My Thoughts
If you don't know by now, I am a huge fan of the Beatles. Both of my children have their own Beatles song (Hey Jude and Help), however my general knowledge of their history is not so great. So when I saw Tune In, I didn't hesitate at the opportunity to read it. Being born in the late 80s I can only imagine what it was like to live in the world of Beatlemania, endure the sorrow of their breakup, and all the years in between. Which is why I am so excited about this book. Something else about me, is that I value history, learning the facts and details about people and time periods. Tune In is an extremely in depth look at the men that changed music forever. 

Beginning with their family histories, we learn everything there is to know about the background, the life, the creation of the Beatles. Each chapter covers a few years to a few months, and a single day in some cases, beginning in 1845-1945 with the histories of their families, going through their childhood years in the next chapter (1945-1954), and taking us through to the end of 1962.

I have only begun to scratch the surface of this book and I think it is safe to say...Mind...Blown. So much detail, so much history. I love it! With about 80 pages of Notes and another 10 for Credits Mark Lewisohn has definitely done his research to give us such an in depth account of Beatles history. If you are a fan of the Beatles, you are sure to love reading Tune In. Now to wait for volume two...

I received a free copy of Tune In (The Beatles: All These Years) Volume 1, from the publisher through Blogging for Books. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

From the Introduction
"If it were necessary to "sell" the Beatles you could point to many achievements, but their music underpins everything: one game-changing album after another and one game-changing single after another, 214 tracks recorded in seven crowded years in a kaleidoscope of styles. This music is known, loved, respected, discussed, imitated, cherished and studied; it continues to inspire new artists and be reshaped impressively in every genre; its song titles and words are adapted for headlines in twenty-first-century media, quoted and folded into everyday vocabulary, chanted in football stadiums. Infused with the Beatles' energy and personalities, this music still lifts the spirit and is passed joyfully from generation to generation.
Clearly something special happened here -- but what? How?"
