In this episode, I take you back to my climbing adventure on Mount Shasta, transporting you to an icy hill up in the clouds, close to the summit, aptly named Misery Hill.    That's the place where 50% of the climbers who make it to that point on the mountain give up and turn back.  We face many Misery Hills in our career - whether it's a last minute setback on your product launch, a reorg just before your raise, getting passed over for a promotion you thought was in the bag, not getting the offer you want after 24 rounds of interviewing, or having a partner or co-founder quit on you - it really sucks.

And it's super easy to give up at that point or take whatever you're given and not ask / negotiate for what you deserve.  And fully half of people in your shoes WILL quit at that point if the statistics are consistent with what we're seeing on Mount Shasta climbs.

Tune in to learn how to not give up and push yourself in that last 5% stretch.  The payoffs are huge - raises, promotions, career opportunities, better satisfaction and of course, the feeling of accomplishment at reaching the summit!
