The Unstoppable Effect 32

Because of the nature of my work, I’ve spent my entire life meet­ing all sorts of peo­ple. Rich, poor, happy, sad, and every­thing in between.

But even so, there’s always one kind that never fails to amaze me — the per­son who dares to live his or her dreams.

You prob­a­bly know one or two peo­ple just like this. They’re not nec­es­sar­ily wealthy (although they often are) — they’re sim­ply liv­ing their life in the EXACT way they want to, and doing the kind of things other peo­ple only talk about. Maybe that means chang­ing the world. Or own­ing a suc­cess­ful busi­ness. Or being a musi­cian. Or even some­thing sim­ple like hav­ing more time for the kids.

Dreams vary from per­son to per­son, but the same mag­i­cal thing hap­pens to any­one who lives them — they find true hap­pi­ness and sat­is­fac­tion, and begin to glow from the inside out.

My friend, best sell­ing author and moti­va­tional coach Cyn­thia Kersey (you may remem­ber her from this post) calls them ‘Unstop­pable Peo­ple’, because noth­ing can stop them from liv­ing the lives they want to live. And after decades of inter­view­ing and study­ing the secrets of these peo­ple, she’s dis­cov­ered how the rest of us can become just like them.

She calls her dis­cov­ery the Unstop­pable Effect, and it’s one of the most sim­ple yet highly effec­tive suc­cess prin­ci­ples I’ve ever seen. Accord­ing to the Unstop­pable Effect, you will sig­nif­i­cantly increase your chances of achiev­ing your goals and liv­ing your dreams just by observ­ing the suc­cesses of Unstop­pable People.

I know how hard it is to stick to those New Year res­o­lu­tions we all wrote down as 2009 was on the cor­ner, so there’s no bet­ter time than now to show you this — a video inter­view with the late Dame Anita Rod­dick, founder of the Body Shop, phil­an­thropist and one of Britain’s most loved Unstop­pable People.

The link doesn’t work; but your “link” does, dear Burt. Thank you so very much. After, what seems like end­less study, It finally comes down to employ­ing what we’ve learned>it occurred to me, finally, that I had to start with the Truth and relate every­thing back to Source. We are exactly what we think we are. I now under­stand Rumi was entirely cor­rect when he mused that ‘mankind is afraid of its own immortality’…(to para­phrase). That is the deep-seated/seeded fear. Fear of fly­ing out of Egypt/wilderness of thought/solar plexus/ego.

I love ‘The Daisy Pond’ med­i­ta­tion! This is good & very good. I’ve for­warded to my friends. My thought here is, if you’d be so kind, after play­ing in the snow and return­ing to the pond that you would say “now you know that any­thing you desire is already here for you (before Abra­ham was, I Am and “yes, Vir­ginia, there is a Santa Claus”). It is Expan­sion, Explo­sion = Expres­sion. Trin­ity. So just an added minute where you say ‘now in-vision’ your deep­est desire, know­ing it wrongs no man to med­i­tate on the desire of your heart. And focus entirely on your thought. Then, and only then, can you exit the daisy pond. Intention/tension. Inten­tional ten­sion = focus. Implo­sion. Beau­ti­ful. Immac­u­late expres­sion. I’d buy that CD!

In Love & rein­force­ment of Truth,
Mar­sha

As a female entre­pre­neur myself, I thor­oughly enjoyed hear­ing what this won­der­ful woman had to say!
thank you for shar­ing this clip

Burghard says

Yes, this lady is one of the most amaz­ing exam­ples of how to inte­grate and cre­ate sus­tain­able value, by liv­ing and breath­ing respon­s­abil­ity for our planet and people.

Always loved her.

Colette says

Hi Burt

Thankyou for shar­ing this with all of us.

Very Inspir­ing!

Women like Anita, paved the way for women to change the style of busi­ness.
With her strong detem­i­na­tion, she sur­vived & flour­ished in a very left brain dom­i­nated world. She & other women like her have proven that it does n’t all have to be “dog eat dog”.
The fem­ine apects of “instinct & feel­ings” that Anita speaks about are only just begin­ning to be given the value they deserve.
But also as Ania hinted at, at the end, there is still a huge neeed for change.

Walk in Love & Light

Lasmono Abdulrify Dyar says

Dear Burt, it’s amaz­ing how this woman could inter­pret her feel­ings through this that made the train of thoughts in an under­stand­able ver­bal pefor­mance. I myself have the feel­ing, that she could help me how to exactly per­form my inner inten­sions and exe­cute it into my country’s sur­round­ing. Maybe tou know already about the exact sit­u­a­tion of Indone­sia that has been rec­og­nized lately as the num­ber ONE cor­rupted coun­try in the world because of our leaders.

Bet­ter and bettr all the time

Rosie says

Hi Burt,

It is very nice to see Anita in the video and how she nat­u­rally expresses the way she got her busi­ness together.

Thank you,

Rosie

Hazel says

Hi Burt,

Thanks for shar­ing the video, makes me more coura­geous for all the things that I want to hap­pen in my life. I think I have to adopt the tech­niques of “Unstop­pable Peo­ple” also in pur­suit of my dreams.

Much appre­ci­a­tion,

Hazel

John says

I see it not so much as a woman in a man’s world but as an out­sider fig­ur­ing out how to make it work, in any world. The key is the drive she had to do things her way and a clear vision of what that was. You don’t need the whole vision, just what you are obsessed with doing next. It pieces itself together from there. Once that goal is reached, let go of it and find your next one. As I kid I wanted to travel and I wanted to be a mad sci­en­tist or an inven­tor. Now I travel the world design­ing tech­ni­cal sys­tems for theme park attrac­tions. I am an out­sider in that I have no col­lege edu­ca­tion and now I spend most of my time man­ag­ing engi­neers with big edu­ca­tions and stretch­ing what they believe is pos­si­ble to build.

Leila says

Hi Burt, Anita Rod­dick sounds as though she found the busi­ness world quite male ori­en­tated and as though she thought this was a shame as female busi­ness ideas can be very dif­fer­ent from male busi­ness ideas and could be com­pli­men­tary in ways we don’t yet know. I think women should be encour­aged to be women in the work place. Thanks for shar­ing the video.

Sheila says

Good Morn­ing Burt.

Thank you for this inspir­ing mes­sage. I didn’t know who or how the Body Shop came to be and it is so nice to see that some­one so human as Anita speak of what she wanted her busi­ness to look like. Dreams are fan­tas­tic and we should never loose sight of what is impor­tant to us. Not the money, not the noto­ri­ety, just the thought of help­ing peo­ple the best we can.

Have a won­der­ful day.

Sheila

regards thanks bye Mahen­dra K.Shah Gun­tur India

paula says

food for thought i know where of she is speak­ing, it is dif­fer­ent for women then men in the busi­ness arena. by the way thank you because of you i am just now get­ting my busi­ness projects under­way and am get­ting braver and more self con­fi­dent as i go and its the lit­tle inter­views with dif­fer­ent ones that always seem to be there at the right time when i need them for that lit­tle psy­chic touch. hugs to you, paula

Tony says

Hi Bill,

Yes it goes to show when you have a desire a pas­sion and some­thing you believe in, obsti­cles no mat­ter how big just get pushed aside and you carry on and never give up, I know. Thanks for shar­ing. Tony

Debra says

Hi Burt,

Thanks for your mes­sage. You know I have had so many peo­ple tell me this past year that I have changed so much that they can just see that I am a much hap­pier per­son than I ever was before. I was mar­ried for 25 yrs. and for many of the last ones our rela­tion­ship was not work­ing. It takes two peo­ple so it was both of us. I finally decided that it was time to make a change. Why make two lives mis­er­able for another 25 yrs. So I decided to leave and get a divorce. Now I am not an advo­cate of divorce. I truly believe in mar­riage as long as you are mar­ried to the right per­son for the right rea­sons. We grew apart.

I am doing well and am look­ing for­ward to shar­ing my life with another man some day, the right one. I am now happy with myself and I am enjoy­ing my life.

Debra

Eve says

Very inspir­ing! I myself am dar­ing to live my dreams this year. It’s a scary road with uncer­tainty and oppo­si­tion. Ms. Roddick’s zest for life really shines in this video clip. It was a good start to my morning.

Thanks,
~Eve

Mary Madeline says

Hi Burt,

Thank You for shar­ing! This is an amaz­ing inspi­ra­tion; that any­thing is pos­si­ble when you put your mind to it. I grew up on Body Shop prod­ucts and they are won­der­ful. It is really nice to hear Anita Rod­dick speak about her suc­cess, some­thing I didn’t know about before.
Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Love,

Rev. Mary Madeline

P.S. Have been lis­ten­ing to your Quan­tum Jump­ing and am lov­ing it! Will give you feed­back on that later as well.

mike Bertolani says

Burt
Thanks for this insight­ful inter­view. I agree com­pletely with Anita and I believe that in the future there will be no more Cor­po­rates as we know them. I’m really look­ing for­ward to that day because it will also be the day when peo­ple start doing things for them­selves and mov­ing away from the con­ven­tional debt trap and into their own far more pro­duc­tive and cre­ative lives draw­ing on the mind for inspi­ra­tion using tech­niques like med­i­ta­tion and maybe even the mind box series.
I think also that more women should be run­ning in pol­i­tics because of their more holis­tic approach to peo­ple and their readi­ness to embrace their own intuition.

Yolanda says

I think she was an inspi­ra­tion and shows that you don´t need to think ´huge´million dol­lar earn­ings to be suc­cess­ful. It is about doing what you love, doing it well and being grate­ful for what you achieve. And in the process, you will even­tu­ally be as suc­cess­ful as oth­ers only dream about.

Melissa says

What a fab­u­lous woman! Thank you so much for show­cas­ing that clip.

few peo­ple in the world leave such a remark­able influ­ences and path for the peo­ple who have lost their con­fi­dence in the life . i think dame anita rod­dic is one of them.

YES! DOWN WITH BANK MANAGERS, NO THANKS TO THEM THAT PEOPLE LIKE ANITA MAKE IT
