Hot Tip - Conquering Your Ego
Your ego can be your biggest battle or your biggest breakthrough.
In this week’s Hot Tip Friday, I'll share one of the hardest lessons I've had to learn as a business owner: how to battle ego and embrace true open-mindedness.
From realizing I wasn’t as openminded as I thought, to working through defensiveness, emotional decision-making, and my fear of data, I'll get personal about what it takes to grow.
I’m unpacking 3 actionable strategies to quiet the ego and develop a healthier mindset:
Stay genuinely curious and listen to feedback
Step into your “future self” when making decisions
Use data as your ally, not your enemy
If you’ve ever felt your ego holding you back from growth, this episode is for you.
