I heard there was a recommendation from a friend to watch this documentary. He rarely gives recommendations and this guy is a business whiz. He charges $250,000 to $1,000,000 a year for coaching and he’s always fully booked. He gets a lot of celebs, famous athletes and billionaires. Anyway, I saw the documentary and it’s pretty cool. It was filmed completely from a Go Pro camera.
If you would like to check out the documentary, it’s called Climb To Freedom. You should be able to find it at vimeo.com to rent or buy. Its about these really successful guys that decide to train and climb this high mountain called Aconcagua. In this long journey, they each had some type of different, major transformational event. This is what they would call their Aconcagua. I don’t want to spoil it for you but I wanted to zero in on what one of the guys said as I believe it could have a big impact on your business and life.
When they began their journey and hit base camp, they were at a high a very high altitude. It was so high that their bodies were not used to it. So a period of acclimation came into effect. As a result one of the guys got a really bad headache. It was so bad he thought about giving up. They have barely even started and his head is already pounding. The he was thinking to himself, this is normal, this is what is to be expected and the headache will pass.
Now, that was power right there for them. Why was this the case? It’s because he reframed his headache. It was inevitable, all it was, is his body adjusting to the high altitude. This did not completely remove the headache but he was able to deal with it. It wasn’t holding him back anymore. Onwards and upwards it was off to conquer.
I see so many people in this online business get their own version of a headache. They try to do something and it doesn’t work. They fail their first few climbs. They get frustrated producing some content or figure out some techy issue. This is to be expected and it’s normal. Everybody goes through these growing pains. Once you realise that you’re doing nothing wrong, that it’s not your fault, all of this is expected. Then you can take the pains as they come and see them as inevitable signs of growth. It’s all in how you frame things.
All you need to do is reframe the conversations going on up there in you head a little better and get ye olde feet movin’!
