3. Lost and Found on Mt. Everest

4. Taking a leap of faith… I would be the only American on the trek
No one to train with
Only 70 days to prepare
45lbs over weight
Had not hiked in over a decade
I would only meet my team mates at the Toronto Airport the day we flew to Nepal.
I would have to raise $5,000 for charity
I had injured myself days before and couldn’t even do sit-ups because of the pain in my abdomen

5. A moment of crisis… Ear infection – deadly at altitude
Fear and self-doubt
Failure
Letting people down
Sharing my story
The victory in being vulnerable… fundraising

6. Key Lessons… Listen to your gut… “I’ll figure it out as a I go.”
Learn how to ask for help… $5,800
When you think you have nothing left, you are wrong.
When the mountain you are facing in mother nature or life is too daunting… look at your feet and just focus on the very next step.
Better is always possible…. Believe and breathe.
The victory of refusing to quit… victory beer.
Believe in yourself, visualize your future and systematically work to achieve your goals.

7. Vision… Getting clear on what you want.
Health – body, mind and spirit
Love / Romance
Family and Friends
Career and Finances
Passion and Hobbies

8. Fears… Fear is what keeps us paralyzed
Your unconscious beliefs drive most of your fears
Trauma stored in the body can keep you anchored in fear and anchored in the past
Get clear on your fear so you know what you need to overcome
Everything that you want, that you don’t yet have is outside your comfort zone. You MUST get comfortable facing fear if you want to create your ideal life.

9. Goal Setting….
Get clear on what you want… then set tangible, actionable goals with deadlines…
30 day goals
3 month goals
6 month goals
9 month goals
1 year goals
Assign an accountability partner… and keep yourself accountable.
Honor your commitment to yourself.

10. Final Thoughts… Be clear on who you are and what you want
Be clear on what you WILL and what you will NOT accept in your life
Believe in yourself and trust that all will unfold for your highest good
Consistent Action… yet release forcing the HOW
Gratitude for what you currently have
Balance in your life is key
Compassion and self love as you take this journey
