Become Unstoppable!
Ok, So this isn’t a marketing tip or resource but I have to share an experience worth way more than any marketing resource I could ever give you.
It’s about becoming unstoppable in your life and your business.
So here’s how it starts…
We have a friend that’s been bugging us to go to this seminar for a while now and we keep putting it off as we’ve just been too busy to fly across the country to go. We didn’t even really know what it was about. Just that is was awesome.
All of a sudden we get an email from her saying we have no excuse to go as they are having one here in Phoenix and she’s GIVING us the tickets just to get us to go!
So, long story short. It was great. I understand why she had a hard time explaining it to us and we had an amazing experience.
It was by a guy named Marshall Sylver and he’s a motivational speaker with his roots based in hypnosis. Before you go off on any objections here, just hold out and read on…
The entire 2 days was great but one thing stood out specifically for me that was the light that clicked on brighter than the sun.
We Ate Fire!
That’s right. You know the fire eaters that stick a flaming torch in their mouths and put it out? That’s what we did.
Just crazy!
The rules are simple.
It’s safe.
It’s easy.
If…
You follow instructions and don’t hesitate and chicken out.
Funny thing, when he first showed us what we were going to do, I didn’t even stop to think if I was going to do it. I just said, “OK” and got in line.
There were a ton of people there and most of them also did it so it wasn’t like I was one of just a couple of people, but the fact that I did it is still the same.
The videos of Cindy and I both doing it are below so you can see that we actually did it. They are quick and low quality but it’s still way cool!
So here’s the whole point of this post. When I was actually standing there and they lit the torch, we were supposed to say one word.
Unstoppable…
That’s it.
After I did it, the rush was crazy and I stopped and thought about what I had just done.
I actually ate fire!
And, yes… I am unstoppable.
The mindset that changed at that very moment was the coolest thing I had ever felt.
We are unstoppable if we just set our minds to it and focus on the task at hand.
Don’t think.
Don’t worry.
Just focus and do it!
With people still freaking out about the economy and the negative things in the world, I know it might be hard some times but you have to focus on the goal, not the obstacles or you will trip every time.
What can you do to move forward? Stop thinking about the past. Stop worrying about the future. If you focus your energy on just doing the things that you know you need to do to achieve your goals, then the rest will fall in place.
That’s my message to you and I hope that you see the true value of the power of being unstoppable. It can move mountains, cure diseases and even… fix a bad economy.
We as entrepreneurs are the solution. With the right mindset, the right focus and the right goals, we will build the world to an amazing place.
That is my goal. It helped me remember why we started MBMM. To teach small business owners how to grow their business and give them the tools to explode.
Thanks a bunch for reading.
Best of Success and Be Unstoppable!

Great advice, I find myself not taking action because I’m thinking (I could do that forever) and not taking action. Thinking and worrying keeps my feet glued to the floor! I had an experience like this where I broke a board with my hand. That was awesome too. I felt impowered.

Teresa – Thank you very much for the comment!
I find the best decisions come from not “thinking” about it, but “DOING” it. Most of my best accomplishments come from just making a decision and taking action as fast as I can.
Congrats on the board exercise. That is awesome!
