Summary: This is a story of our recent Everest Base Camp trek – a huge accomplishment, challenge, and life-changing experience! You know what the best part was, though? Learning major tips for how you can accomplish your own investing and financial goals!
Have you ever had an experience that challenged you mentally, physically, and emotionally, every single step of the way – but also left you feeling on top of the freaking world??
We’re talking about that BIG goal that kind of terrifies you, while making you feel more ALIVE than ever, at the same time.
We ask because, well, we’ve just completed a goal exactly like this in our trek from Everest Base Camp to Summit – a distance of 75 miles at 17,598 feet above sea level!
But listen.
What we’re about to share with you is not JUST a story about our adventurous journey.
We’re actually going to take you through the thought-processes, takeaways, challenges, and insights that helped us accomplish this feat – but can also apply to all of your big goals and dreams. ✨
Believe it or not…what we learned throughout our 9-day trek can be applied to financial goals and investing journeys of all kinds.
If you’re wanting to grow wealth, secure your future, and find financial freedom, we’ve got some very applicable tips to share. Because, you know what? At an altitude of 17,598 feet, everything gets put into perspective reeeeal quick.
The air gets colder and thinner, and the thoughts get MUCH, much clearer. 👌
Here’s what we’re sharing today:
- Mental challenges can be harder than physical challenges
- Focus your eyes on the prize – whatever your prize may be
- Teamwork is the key to making any dream work
- You CAN do anything with the right mindset, focus, and team to help you succeed
Let’s take juuust a moment to set the stage…
There we were, up higher than ever before, endlessly walking for dayyyyys and days, wondering how on Earth we were ever going to make it to the Summit and finish this trek.
It has to be said here – we aren’t what you’d call “super fit” people. 🤣
Sure. We love walking our fur babies daily, butttt that’s about the extent of the training sessions we did for this freezing cold, 9-day hike through very rough terrain. So, it’s safe to say that we were less than ideal candidates for this type of journey – BUT that wasn’t about to stop us from having an incredible experience.
Anyways…the hardest part for us was probably the length of time. See, we’ve done other treks before — Machu Picchu, Half Dome, Kilimanjaro, and others — but none of those were 9 days straight.
If you’re wondering, 9 days feels like an eternity in frozen, rocky, conditions.
Over the course of those long days, we found the mental challenges to actually be MUCH harder than the physical ones. We had to stay focused literally the entire time, and keep training our minds to stay fully present and clear of distractions.
That’s when we found this crazy, renewed strength to face aaaany challenge we will ever come across…and you know what? YOU can find the same inner strength and clarity – even without having to travel to Everest Base Camp. 😏
Focusing your eyes on the prize – whatever your prize may be
We had to focus on one main thing, throughout the entire trek…making it to the very end of the journey. Everything else – all the doubts, fears, and distracting thoughts – became totally irrelevant.
Getting to the finish line became a practice of constantly redirecting our thoughts:
- Acute mountain sickness? It will pass!
- 70, 60, 50 more miles to go? Just take one step at a time!
- Rough living conditions? Wow…we’re even more thankful for our lives at home!
- Lack of sleep, blisters, and freezing cold temps? It’s amazing what our bodies are capable of!
- All those things we usually stress over? Don’t waste time with things that aren’t happening right here, right now!
It would’ve been easy to complain the whole time, but how would that have helped us get to the end? It would have slowed us down and distracted us for sure, while also making the journey totally miserable.
So, this is probably the most useful thing we can share about our trek.
👉 Learn to redirect your own thoughts, to allllways stay focused on what you want
You can practice this now, and every single day. Over time, you’ll find that it gets a biiiit easier to bring yourself back to the present moment. Then, you’ll have an amazing tool to keep you on track to accomplishing those big goals of yours – no matter what stands in your way! 🤩
Our ability to stay focused on what we wanted cleared everything else out of our way, leaving us free to enjoy the beauty and magic around us.
Imagine witnessing the scenery from the viewpoint of the world’s highest peak, and thinking about ANYTHING else besides how incredibly beautiful this world is.
We’re SO thankful we were able to stay mentally focused over the challenging 9 days. It allowed us to soak in one of the most memorable and life-changing experiences we could imagine. Mental practice allows you to feel peace and enjoy the journey – however strenuous that journey might be.
Teamwork is the key to making any dream work
We talk a lot about teamwork, when it comes to investing and growing wealth. This journey showed us that no matter where you are or what you’re pursuing, the people you surround yourself with will make alllll the difference.
On our EBC trek, we had a phenomenal guide, awesome companions, and helpful porters (people employed to assist with luggage and such). This was our TEAM. If we didn’t trust someone on our team, the journey would’ve been much more challenging than it was.
We don’t even want to think about what it would have been like. 😅
As sisters and partners, we’re used to having each other to lean on – in life, work, and basically all the time – but we still need other people to fill in skills we lack, and keep us on track. For this trip, our team had the knowledge and experience that we didn’t have in this area, which helped us feel safe and confident the entire time.
Now, it’s a little different, of course, but investing teams work in a similar way. You want to feel like you can trust your partners, while leaning on them for unique skills and ideas.
Everything is better and more efficient with the right team by your side!
What’s your next big adventure? Perhaps it’s a physical challenge like our EBC trek, a financial goal you’ve been focused on, or a life-long dream that you think about all the time. We hope this little recap inspires you and offers tips that can help you take the next step. 👏
You CAN do anything with the right mindset, focus, and team to help you succeed
Speaking of tips…let’s recap the main takeaways from our journey, that can absolutely be applied to whatever you’re hoping to accomplish.
- Even physical challenges require a great deal of mental strength.
- Train your mind to focus on your goals.
- You’re not in competition with anyone – take breaks, reset, and stay tuned in to what you need at all times.
- Tackle one thing at a time, one step at a time.
- Remove distractions and keep your eyes on the prize.
- There’s a reason for every challenge you face, and every stumble along the way.
- Always, always look around and ENJOY the journey.
Also, keep in mind that there’s no quick fix to lasting success. Creating the life you deserve comes from knowing what you want, then going after it with eeeevrything you’ve got!
