Today’s quote by Sir Hillary could easily have worked for yesterday’s post about Q3 goals, but today, it’s dedicated to Tabei Junko of Japan.
That woman had serious goals.
On this day in 1975, Tabei became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
More impressively, she was the first woman to ascend the Seven Summits, climbing the highest peak on every continent.
Why is this important to you, sales climber?
Goals create focus…and that creates a winning path. Like Tabei, you can do whatever you set your mind to.
Do
What’s your Everest to climb? What big bad mountain top must you get to the top of? (Metaphorically…or not.)
The sooner you realize you have one more lane to the left you can drive in, the more you’ll reap rewards. Don’t be reckless; just be a bit more assertive.
Today, plan something that intimidates you…something that’ll make you feel very alive and challenged.
If you need to rope in a friend to help boost your courage, do it. Get something on the calendar that works your muscles and your brain.
Oomph
Spend a minute watching this BBC summary of Junko’s life, and you may want to put Everest on your list.
(No? Okay. NP.)
Junko was a friggin’ dynamo!
It’s not understood where Junko got her vast reservoir of inspiration and "let’s do this," but it probably started with her passions.
What are you passionate about that could inspire you in all facets of your life…including The Sales Life you’re currently living.
“You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things — to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.” Edmund Hillary
