What is your ‘Mount Everest’
Mount Everest. The highest mountain on earth (measured above sea level, of course). Only the strongest dare risk its treacherous peaks, freezing temperatures and thin air.
“Everest for me, and I believe for the world, is the physical and symbolic manifestation of overcoming odds to achieve a dream.” – Tom Whittaker
This has long been one of my favorite quotes. And I strongly believe it is extremely pertinent in the business world. We each must create our own Everest in order to truly succeed in life. Notice I didn’t say climb our own Everest, only create it. Each of us needs a Mount Everest: A ’treacherous peaked, scary as all hell, hard to breathe’ goal that we never think we can get to. Mine is to finish writing my book, get it published & in stores. This goal gives me focus, drive and motivation for everything else in this world. It gives me something to aim for. It makes me work harder in my job, knowing that the harder I work now, the more free time I’ll have to work on my book in the future.
Although I may never get to the top of my Everest, knowing what it is makes sure that I never stop trying.
Do you agree? Do you have an Everest?
