A 5-Stars Seal and a Peloton Badge
I never thought I would write a book but in May of 2022, when a client asked if I had written a book that we could raffle after a workshop (unfortunately, I had not at the time), I decided to look into it. I was getting tired and embarrassed of recommending other people’s work instead of writing my own.
The truth is, I have been teaching and coaching for a long time now, for more than fifteen years actually. This was the moment when I finally decided to commit. It was time to put all my knowledge and experience on paper.
On July 15, 2022, I had a scheduled zoom call with Professor Koester, founder of Manuscripts, a writer’s community program. He basically said I was in!
Manuscripts gave me the ability to write my book “Unstoppable: How to Spice up your Brand, Create Opportunities, and Reach your Goals.” I am so thankful!
To my surprise, a few days ago, I received the nicest book review and a Readers’ Favorite Five-Stars Seal.
Here is the seal and the book review:
Nowadays, it is fundamental to know how to create opportunities in life, regardless of whether you are a student, employee, or entrepreneur. It is essential to analyze our skills, personal presentation, and areas for improvement to achieve this. Nyrka Riskin explains everything there is to know about this in Unstoppable: How to Spice up Your Brand, Create Opportunities, and Reach Your Goals. She emphasizes the importance of developing a personal brand and offers strategies for its creation. She motivates us to innovate and reinvent ourselves to gain confidence. She also guides us through a series of steps to set goals by category and instructs us on how to maintain good organization. However, Nyrka doesn't limit herself to the external; she also highlights the importance of self-care and healthy living. Once the groundwork is laid, she encourages us to move forward to enjoy the process of change, to take risks, and to be authentic. Unstoppable inspires us to work on the crucial areas of our lives.
I loved Nyrka Riskin's explanations. Her ability to share anecdotes and inspiring stories of people she has worked with keeps the reading interesting throughout. She explains clearly how to use creativity to overcome a lack of resources. Her examples are real, and at the end of each chapter, she includes action tips, which are practical exercises so we can apply what we learn to our situations. The information is well documented and structured to maintain a balance between work and life. In addition, it constantly highlights the usefulness of focusing on goals and being assertive and proactive. I particularly liked the strategies for staying motivated and for pursuing activities that we are passionate about. Unstoppable: How to Spice up Your Brand, Create Opportunities, and Reach Your Goals teaches us that happiness and well-being are the keys to success.
Thank you Diana Lopez for your review! You made my week! The thought of knowing someone else is out there reading and reviewing my book fills my heart.
If you have always wanted to write a book, you should go ahead and do it. I highly recommend it!
If you would like to support me, you can order a copy and post a review. Here is the link to “Unstoppable”. I will be forever thankful.
On another note, I can’t believe I reached 350 Peloton Runs which means that Peloton added another badge to my profile. For someone that was never interested in playing sports of any kind until a few years ago (I now dabble in tennis and a few workouts here and there), it is quite the accomplishment!
What a week! I will continue to reach for the stars and who knows? Maybe add a few more seals and badges.
Thank you for your readership and happy spring,
Nyrka
