- How do you climb Mount Everest? The old adage, “One step at a time”, is the only way.
- The steps are not just the physical steps:
Dream/Set Goals, Plan, Execute
- Dream/Goals
- Do really want to do this?
- Passion to achieve?
- Plan
- Research how past climbers have succeeded
- Identify the threats
- Plan the expedition
- Develop strategy – timing of trip, training, food, supplies, acclimation/altitude training
- Use Sherpas – experts – anyone who wouldn’t use Sherpas would be considered someone with a Deathwish
- Execute the plan
- In Business, the same principles apply, but many people don’t use them
- “I know my business better than anyone else and can do it better than anyone else” – why limit yourself to just your expertise?
- Find your Sherpas to guide you through the perils of business in areas where you are not an expert
