Opening during the Nazi occupation of Greece, best-selling No Limits is a
true-life adventure story of Nick Haritatos. From his humble beginnings in
war-torn Greece to southern Africa, Haritatos began a remarkable journey to
success, buying his first business at sixteen and creating a portfolio of
successful companies in Rhodesia, South Africa, and the United States.
Buffeted by winds of sweeping political and cultural changes, Haritatos
pledged to make his own destiny, regardless of any obstacles. Haritatos
lived a life of adventure set amidst dirt roads in tribal lands in Africa,
harrowing days of the Rhodesian Bush War, numerous board rooms, and
one-of-a-kind ocean-view homes.
With a foreword by Jack Canfield, No Limits gives readers a glimpse into
the experiences and mindset of a man who faced numerous obstacles with
unwavering confidence and a unique ability to build relationships with
people from every walk of life. These relationships, coupled with the
determination, passion and focus that he cultivated, gave Haritatos
opportunities to build multi-million-dollar businesses, become a successful
pilot, walk the 1,200-mile California Coastal Trail from the US-Mexico
border north to the Oregon border, create a beautiful family and circle of
friends, and achieve almost every other goal he set for himself.
No Limits will both entertain and inspire you. It is full of heart-warming
relationships, drama, intrigue, and achievement, set against a background of
tumultuous change. Woven into the text and highlighted in the appendix, No
Limits includes Haritatos’ pillars of business and personal success.
If you want to become the architect of your own destiny, regardless of your
circumstances, this book is for you.
EXCERPT
Foreword
My mission is to help people transform their lives to maximize their potential and live their dreams. As an international bestselling author, speaker, trainer, and America’s #1 success coach, I have worked with hundreds of thousands of people over the fifty plus years that I have been doing this work. And too often, I see people let fear, circumstances and what other people think limit them. They have let limits—self-imposed or imposed by others—rule their lives and stop them from achieving their big dreams and creating the life they truly want to live.
Nick Haritatos is not one of those people. He totally embodies the title of his book No Limits. From an early age, he has seen problems as challenges—as opportunities to find solutions rather than obstacles or barriers. That attitude, combined with his passion and curiosity, meant that, when he bought his first business at the age of 16 and became an entrepreneur, he was unstoppable. A few years later, when he met Anne, his late wife, together they were an unstoppable team. Together, they made their dreams come true. They also faced and overcame all kinds of adversity, such as starting over from scratch more than once.
Nick’s life has truly been an adventure. I could not stop turning the pages of this book as I read about his life journey across 3 continents, 4 countries, 23 companies, being drafted to fight a war, raising a beautiful family, thousands of soccer games, tens of thousands of hours in the air and walking the 1200-mile California Coastal Trail.
Nick knows what it’s like to be in the thick of trying circumstances. What struck me as I read this book is, no matter what life threw at him, even when the odds were heavily stacked against him, he went for it anyway. Even when others thought he was out of his mind, he went for it. Even when it seemed impossible, he went for it. Nick consistently and repeatedly defied the odds because of his trust in himself, his passion, his determination and his energy.
No Limits is the next chapter in the adventure of Nick’s life, and we all get to benefit from it. Not only is No Limits a captivating page-turner that you won’t be able to put down, but, in it, Nick also shares the wisdom he has collected and distilled from a lifetime full of adventures, challenges and successes—wisdom that is so needed in the world today. He has helped so many people throughout his life through his multiple businesses, and now he is helping many more with this book—with both the inspiration from his story plus his many “pillars of wisdom,” so that you, too, can live a life full of adventure and success with no limits.

About the Author
Nick Haritatos is a successful entrepreneur, soccer player, pilot, and
devoted family man whose life experience has spanned four countries on three
continents. From his humble beginnings in war-torn Greece to southern
Africa, Haritatos began a remarkable journey to success, buying his first
business at sixteen and creating a portfolio of successful companies in
Rhodesia, South Africa, and the United States.
Buffeted by winds of sweeping changes, Nick pledged to make his own
destiny, regardless of any obstacles. He lived a life of adventure set
amidst mud huts and dirt roads in tribal lands in Africa, harrowing days of
the Rhodesian Bush War, numerous board rooms, international trips to over
forty countries, and one-of-a-kind ocean view homes.
His business career stretches across twenty-three companies and over fifty
years in manufacturing, retail, service, and commercial, retail and
residential real estate. With a knack for spotting untapped potential in
businesses and people, Nick treasures his vast network of friends as
intensely as his financial success. He loves to celebrate life with music
and dancing whenever possible.
Early on, Nick developed a unique and flexible lifestyle model that allowed
him to oversee multiple businesses simultaneously while devoting plenty of
time to his wife and children. With his decision to create his own destiny,
Nick maintains control over his life and his future even under challenging
circumstances, when most others followed tradition. His motto is
“I make events. Events don’t make me.”
An avid athlete, Nick has played and coached soccer for most of his life.
Nick has team members who’ve played soccer with him for nearly twenty
five years in San Diego. As of the writing of this book, he’s played
in more than 2,500 matches, as well as completed several marathons. He plans
to be playing soccer when he is eighty years old and beyond.
Outside of his family, one of his proudest achievements was hiking the
1,200-mile California Coastal Trail.
Today Nick uses his considerable business and life experience to mentor and
inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders, when he
isn’t on the soccer field or planning his next walk.
Nick is available to speak to groups interested in business and personal
success. For more information on his speaking and mentoring work, visit his
