This week we caught up with Phil & Pauline Sanderson who hold a number of world records in the Mountaineering world including:
The World's longest climb - The Dead Sea (lowest point) to Everest (highest point)
The 1st British married couple to summit Everest - Only 2 couples have ever done this
And the the world record for...well I explain more in the video :)
Mountaineering lessons for business:
There are so many parallels between planing and executing an expedition to starting an online business. I would suggest the most important parallel is 'mindset', and both Phil & Pauline admit the key success factor for them has always beet taking control of the conversation that happens in their head.
Positive Mindset:
They both experience doubt, they both experience 'imposter syndrome' (I'm not good enough to be here) and they both feel like giving up when things go wrong.
Do you ever feel like that?
So why don't they give up where other do?
Because of the conversation they have in their heads - they take control of the negative thoughts. This is the resilient mindset which is needed for success in home business / online business start up too. This is the key to successful business.
What we also love about Phil & Pauline is how they have used their achievements to help a number of charities including:
SOS Childrens Villages ( The world's largest orphan charity), and Practical Action - a charity using technological solutions to help tackle poverty around the world.
And probably one of the key messages from Pauline and Phil is, whatever your journey, TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
Hope you're inspired to persevere on your journey from this week's video.
