Ego Is The Enemy [RR 717]

[carmcapriotto]

 

Everyone needs an ego to start something new. Ego and self-confidence work hand in hand. But if you’re not careful, ego can run rampant and stifle both your personal and professional growth. As a business owner, what are you trying to build? Are you hiring the right people and letting them grow? Or has your ego become a roadblock to your success?

Chris Cloutier is co-owner of Golden Rule Auto Care in Dallas Texas and CEO of Auto Tex Me. Listen to Chris’s previous episodes HERE. 

Key Talking Points

• Need the ego to start ‘something’ (shop owner, entrepreneur etc)- 
• Are you an "expert"?  if so does that mean you are no longer curious and listening for more information? Are you starting to tell people what you know instead of asking what they know?
• Feedback is a gift- take it, open it, keep it and regift it without displaying it in front of the person
• There is no ‘secret sauce.
• Are you able to put trust in others, and let them do the job, or do you feel YOU have to do everything?
• Don’t be untouchable- be vulnerable, open up
• Who Not How- getting out of the way 
• Fear- not knowing and putting up your guard, it’s ok to not know something and need help
• Ego Is The Enemy
• Ego Is Your Enemy
• Who Not How
