Everyone's heard the advice to study hard in high school. Take a standardized test revealing how to match your strengths with a future career. Pick the college that is known for raising up the very best in that chosen field. Graduate and get a job. That's how to make it. That's how to succeed in life.
Maybe not! Millions of people do no such thing. They're bored in public schools, or higher education is not affordable or accessible. Guess they're doomed.
On the contrary, there's another story to be told, another path to take. Plenty of people support their families, live a full life, find contentment and success without following that common wisdom. These people are trailblazers, opportunity-makers, everyday people with entrepreneurial mindsets. Women and men who don't accept a prescribed approach. Instead, they follow an internal compass that, in spite of twists, turns, and even road blocks, leads them through an entirely different sequence of choices.
Collins and Clark, experienced researchers, set out to learn how these people found their way, what drove them to keep going despite being advised differently. If you are someone whose journey resembles the folks above, this book delivers inspiration from thirteen transformational perspectives. If you are a parent, friend, or guidance counselor for someone driven to march to their own drum, Unlikely to Unstoppable provides the encouragement needed to persevere. Humorous, poignant, even startling firsthand stories from individuals who have "made it" build a platform for meaningful conversation and contemplation. These "everyday entrepreneurs" demonstrate the way to develop the unstoppable mindset that helped them keep moving, one way or another.
