ON BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE
- Nadia Giordana with Brian Tracy prior to his Peak Performers seminar at Minneapolis Convention Center, October 7, 2008
I attended a leadership luncheon with about a dozen other people to meet with Brian Tracy at Porter & Frye restaurant in the Hotel Ivy yesterday. It took place immediately prior to his Peak Performers seminar at the Minneapolis Convention Center. One thing Brian said struck a chord with me. I’ll paraphrase: It’s amazing what happens to a motivated person who sets a particularly ambitious goal for themselves and then meets that goal. They become a completely new person—anything is possible. Their self esteem goes way up, and their confidence. The way they walk, the way they talk, everything changes—and they become unstoppable. Brian Tracy is one of America’s leading authorities on human potential and personal effectiveness and I felt fortunate to meet with him and talk briefly (pictured above standing with me). His statement easily applies to the way losing 88 pounds in 14 months has made me feel–unstoppable!
