Are you climbing Everest or just hanging out at basecamp?

I put a call in to my financial planner the other day but was told he was unavailable for the next two weeks as he was climbing Mount Everest.

Which is not the sort of behaviour I expect from a nerdy accountant to be honest.

But when I did a bit of digging, I found out that many high level business people tackle challenges like this.

Getting a job as a creative is a bit like climbing your own personal Everest.

It’s something that requires guts.

And persistence.

It’s something that doesn’t happen in a day or two.

In fact it’s a very long haul.

And along the way you will encounter a great deal of hardship and suffering.

But when you scale that mountain you will experience a feeling like no other.
