A healthy ego is a prerequisite to being a successful small business owner. Your faith in your talents is what fuels your belief you can earn a living . That same ego which gives you courage to be a business owner can also get in the way of you being a successful business owner.
This week, we talk about how to keep your ego in check and find the balance between confidence and unwavering direction in the face of good advice.
Show highlights:
- Remember you are not always your customer. Just because you like a color or a font or a graphic doesn’t mean it needs to be central to your branding. If it isn’t relevant to your customers, it isn’t relevant.
