Building or running a business is more than a journey. It's an
adventure. Adventure assumes there is risk in the air. For many business
owners, the adventure of building a business is a long one and there are
many lessons to be learned over that extended period of time. That takes
unwavering commitment, a serious dose of tenacity, and the ability to
embrace adventure.
Using the experience of successfully summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro drives
years of business building into a 7-day mountain leadership adventure
where the pinnacle, as well as the sometimes harsh lessons of the
mountain, track exactly with the building of a business. From the moment
your spirit is engaged when you commit to the climb until you return
home safe and successful, Summit Leadership mirrors the same trail of
mission building and ultimate business team victory that entrepreneurs
strive for.
The multi-faceted challenge we faced in scaling "Kili" was a microcosm
of all that owning and growing a business entails. Those who have
experienced the exhilaration and challenges of it have gone on to build
amazing businesses and become legendary leaders. With each ascent in
altitude with the author, this guidebook explores the critical lessons
to lead you and your teams to the summit and beyond.
