A few days ago we were given the honour of asking a question of the guest speaker Alison Levine Explorer, Mountaineer, Extreme Adventurer and Author of On The Edge during an Interview With Legends inside our community
She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane force winds, sudden avalanches….and a career on Wall Street so we asked her a question as it relates to entrepreneurship
We asked her “Have you ever got to the point in one of your adventures where you thought to yourself ‘I really can’t go on’ and how did you overcome it and continue”
Here’s what she said
In her answer she shares how her first climb of Mount Kilimanjaro although not technically difficult for a climber definitely challenged her and show she learnt that taking “just a couple more steps” can lead you to achieve your goal – in her case the summit of the volcano
“Sometimes you look up at a mountain and think, ‘I CAN’T!’ And then you climb it anyway.”
As entrepreneurs ourselves, asking this question of someone who is still on top of her game at 56 years of age was truly inspiring
We hope you take away that entrepreneurship is a journey with peaks and valleys but that an end is always in sight if you just take a couple more steps
Thanks for joining us for this short but insightful video
You can find out more about Alison on here website which also has links to her social profiles
Her book On The Edge – Leadership Lessons From Mount Everest And Other Extreme Environments is available from Amazon and all good book stores
