The Climb: Creating an Everest Mindset.

Most people spend their lives describing the summit they want to reach. They'll get there when the kids are older. When the job is more stable. When they finally feel ready. Rachel Davis went to 17,600 ft and learned that the mountain doesn't wait for ready.

The Climb: Creating an Everest Mindset is the book Rachel wrote after trekking to Everest Base Camp with her father — a journey that was as much about the relationship she almost didn't repair as it was about the altitude she reached. It is a book about choosing an audacious goal and doing what it actually takes to pursue it: the preparation, the sacrifice, the recalibration when the plan changes, and the decision to keep moving.

An Everest Mindset doesn't require a mountain. It requires honesty about what you want, discipline in how you pursue it, and the willingness to believe that you are worth an interesting life. This book is the framework Rachel now uses on every stage she walks — and it starts with a single choice.

If you've been saying “someday” for too long — this is for you.

• Leaders who want a real framework, not motivational platitudes
• Veterans navigating the transition to civilian life and work
• Women rebuilding after a chapter ends — career, relationship, identity
• Entrepreneurs sitting on an audacious goal they keep deferring
• Anyone who keeps saying "someday" and hasn't named the actual summit
