On a day with a clear blue sky dotted with the occasional puffy white cloud, Sheri and I hoisted our backpacks and headed up the Four Pass Loop Trail in Colorado. We love backpacking, and this trip promised to be enjoyable and a little challenging, while providing a week’s escape from the August heat in Dallas.
The forest quickly enveloped us and we talked less as we focused on hiking, the views, and making it to the top. I enjoyed the conversations with friends but I also enjoy the quiet. This was where I began to “hear” the business lessons the hike was teaching. Here are three more lessons I learned.
We started up in short sleeves and added layers as we climbed to our camp site. I brought up the rear playing with the camera on my iPhone (it weighs a lot less than my 35mm Canon) and was truly enjoying myself when I found myself thinking about how heading up an insurance agency was not very different from what I was doing at that moment. Here are the first three lessons I learned on that hike.
