This book is life transforming!It is Honestly one of the most motivating books I have ever read. Cynthia Kersey lays out a practical plan to help you define a goal and work towards it on a 30 day plan. You may intend to complete the goal in 30 days, or use the 30 days as a jump start to form a new habit. Her program is very practical. Each day you set up an action plan. At the end of the day you go over your accomplishments towards your goal, and write down the things you are proud of that you did that day. You also answer the question, Have I inspired someone else on their Unstoppable Journey?
Not only am I achieving my 30 day goal, but I see every night how much I have done and am capable of doing.
When I answer the question if I have inspired someone else that day, it has made me stop and look at the difference I make daily in other people's lives no matter how big or small. It has helped me feel valuable.
But truelly the best part of the book is at the end of each chapter there is a real life story about individual women who have beat all odds, and made incredible journeys. When you read their stories you really will feel like anything is possible. I highly recommend this book!

"Unstoppable Women" is an entire course of self-programing for goal achievement contained in a single book. It is a book of inspirational and motivational stories. It is an instructional manual in how to apply the inspiration and motivation to your own desires and goals. It is a workbook to guide you through a 30 day program of using the inspiration, motivation and instruction in an effective, structured way.

It is like having a life coach to carry around with you for a month.

I recommend the book for women only. Goal development methods and workbook-style teaching work for both genders, but the material is by a woman, about women and for women. However, Cynthia Kersey has an earlier version for both men and women called "Unstoppable." I haven't had the chance to read it yet, but have ordered it on the strength of my regard for "Unstoppable Women."

If you are a woman looking for great ideas on how to get out of your own way and start creating results, try this book.

The complete title of the book is "Unstoppable Women: Achieve Any Breakthrough Goal in 30 Days." I skimmed through the pages, hoping to cheat and cram the 30 days into maybe three or four, but when I realized that the book was actually a seminar, workbook, journal, and life-altering guide, I knew I had to take it a day at a time.

Author Cynthia Kersey starts selling her you-can-achieve-anything concept by asking the reader to permanently stop the cycle of giving up.

"Unstoppable Women is built on the proven fact that the more effective way to create lasting change is to do it one step at a time, letting that initial success lead to others. Even the busiest woman can find the time to take a single step, or achieve what I call an unstoppable moment. In doing so, you won't feel overwhelmed by the process, and you'll be able to make the gradual change that will create lasting results."

Most important in achieving any goal is to zero in on what that goal is and to determine what actions need to be taken and how. Part 1 of the book lays it all down in four important steps in preparation for achieving the goal in just 30 days.

Part 2 is the actual 30-day challenge where Kersey opens each day with an affirmation followed by an inspirational success story of an "unstoppable woman" who, despite challenges, achieved her goal. Taking off from the story, Kersey then presents a "to do" section called "Unstoppable Action," where she motivates you to look at yourself, try new things, revisit good values, give, and forgive, among others. She caps each chapter with "Create Your Day Planner: Plan to be Unstoppable!" which takes you to your personal worksheet at the end of the book.

I can say Unstoppable Women is a good read because the collection of success stories is priceless. But I'd also say it's a "mentor" in the kind of handholding it does. During the 30-day challenge, you feel like you have a personal life coach opening your eyes, waking up your spirit, and pumping your adrenalin to take you to that goal you've set for yourself.

What's interesting is, after you've achieved one goal with the help of Kersey's book, you can start working on another goal and use the book again to apply the same techniques! In effect, I could say that Unstoppable Women is not a book - it's a tool. I'd say go ahead, pick it up, and use it many times over.

I am a certified reading junkie, typically reading one to two new books every week. Many of them are so mediocre or so poorly written that I just skim them or end up skipping at least half the book. This book is really exceptional and stands out from the pack, even though no specific idea is new or earthshaking.

There are many things that make this book exceptional:

1. The writing is really clear, succinct, and well edited.

2. Each step she recommends is broken down into mini-steps. She does such an excellent job of explaining things in detail, that it doesn't matter if you are excellent at achieving your goals and are like looking to go to the next level, or if you are someone who has had virtually no success with achieving goals in the past.

3. She speaks with the voice of a coach, encouraging and pushing, but never condescending.

4. She includes dozens of inspiring stories of unstoppable women. After reading them, all I could think was, "Holy smokes, if she could do that, surely I could achieve my little puny goals!"

5. She gives many specific, detailed examples to get you thinking of ways to apply her information to your life. Thus, even if you are an accomplished goal achiever, she will take you to the next level.

One of my friends kept forwarding me Cynthia Kersey's daily e-mails until I finally began subscribing to it myself. After enjoying these e-mails for many months, I decided to buy the book. I'm glad that I did! This book had substance, style, and some of the most inspiring stories I have read. This will make a good addition to your library.

Unstoppable is truly a marvelous read!! I picked up the book while on vacation and found I could not put it down.

The stories are inspiring; it shows how anyone can achieve success if they choose too. Each of the 7 Characteristics have supporting stories, plus the personal action plans to help ones focus. And the quotes at the end of every story by the person who was the subject of the story are very up lifting.

This is a book I have and will continue to recommend. It can help you focus, be inspired and renew your spirit. You will realize you can achieve if you believe in yourself!!

Unstoppable Women is the most motivating and practical book I have ever read, even outranking two greats: Anthony Robbins and Steven Covey. It works because Cynthia Kersey writes like she is talking to YOU; she is clear, precise, understanding and compassionate. She is talking to us women.

She shares stories from women of all backgrounds, status, education and culture yet the bond and experience of overcoming odds or persuing one's desires, dreams and passions, no matter how small or large, relates to all of us. Ms. Kersey has created an amazing tool for her readers to use to create positive and life changing transformation in their lives. She guides us through each step of transformation beginning at the first step: how we think, how we see ourselves, to self examination our our values and priorities. The reader is then lead step by step through the most doable process of taking one step every day to create change and transformation.

I was changed because of this book. I have made some great changes in my life and I believe and trust in myself more and in the process of taking one step at a time. That belief and the steps I have taken has led to amazing blessings for my life and other peoples lives as I live a more purposeful life.

I was touched, inspired, motivated and affirmed by Unstoppable Women. Thank you Cynthia Kersey for this book - for women by women. We women need to lift and encourage each other and that is what this book does.

I opened UNSTOPPABLE WOMEN as a skeptic, having "been there, done that" with all manner of goal-setting, achievement, and "change your life" books and programs. I was hooked by the message of hope and reassurance, with a step-by-step, 30-day plan; simple, but do-able; beautiful in concept.

One day at a time, moving in the right direction, with phenomenal writing, encouragement, and support. It is the process of UNSTOPPABLE WOMEN that will change your life.

Love this book, if you stick to it you will accomplish your goal. I transitioned from my corporate job to my dream job by sticking to my goals, staying focused & doing the steps within 30days. I bought this book for my girlfriend & I. We are working on new goals. My life changed when I finally put my life skills & passion to work. This book got me started 2.5 years ago and I will never forget it.

What a truly amazing and inspiring book. Cynthia Kersey shares stories of women who have persevered to success through unbelievable circumstances. What a practical, step-by-step approach to putting anything on your to-do list and then actually accomplishing all your goals!

A Must Read for anyone who wants to do all those things you never thought you could and live life at its best, enjoying every minute of it! Since I read Cynthia's book, I have given 9 or 10 Toastmasters speeches and written my own book. Thank you, Cynthia Kersey, for sharing with us!

This book is motivating and very realistic. Women who are in sales this is a book designed for you. I enjoyed it and I do recomended to all my friends and business associates.
