The Way Through: Overcoming Your Everest

Many people dream of accomplishing extraordinary things in their lives but how many actually risk doing it? Especially if that risk is completely life threatening?

On September 29, 1988, Stacy Allison, my guest on The Way Through, became the first American woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. How she got there is a story of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. In fact, it took years of preparation, several attempts, and even threatened her life.

On this episode Stacy and I discuss: 

• Follow your passion, you only get one shot

• Take necessary risks to achieve your goal

• You can push yourself far beyond what you think you’re capable of

• Failure doesn’t have to be a negative thing, it an opportunity to learn

• Keep your focus on what you set out to accomplish, no matter what gets in the way

• Sharing your failures with a network you trust is important
