Ego is the Enemy: Why We Need to Talk Less and Do More

Send us a text!In 1934, Upton Sinclair ran for governor of California. During the campaign, he wrote a book, in the past tense, talking about all he accomplished as governor. The problem? He got crushed in the election bid. His talk and hype outpaced the work he needed to do to actually win the race. Like Sinclair, many of us can get ahead of ourselves with talk—about what we have or hope to accomplish. In the process, our hype game outpaces our actual accomplishments. In this episode, we'll talk about practical ways to make war with ego, or pride, which starts with the words we use. Who do we blame when things go wrong? Who do we give credit to when things go right? How does seeing ourselves as a student help us tame the beast of overgrown pride? We'll discuss this and more in the episode.   Visit ForgedBeardCo.com today and use code HARDMEN for 15% off your first purchase!Book your free consultation with Boniface Business Solutions at bonifacebusiness.comVisit White Tree Solutions at wtsdata.com or send them an email at [email protected] to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultation10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.
