My ego tried to talk me into the wrong offer, but this is how I caught it

Dela

Every business owner has a moment where a good idea shows up dressed as the right idea. In this episode we’re sitting in that exact moment, in real time, and being honest about that happened to me…and how I’m still grappling with which move to make.

Because when someone asked me one simple question about the new offer…it stopped me cold. 

And what followed wasn’t a strategy session, but a reckoning with my ego, the urge to prove something to myself and others, and the difference between chasing a quick win vs. building toward what I actually want.

This one is personal, unfiltered, and hopefully going to make you think about those similar decisions that pop up in your own business. 

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

  • Why a good idea and the right idea aren’t always the same thing
  • The exact question that exposed my own blind spot
  • How the ego can subtly disguise itself as opportunity
  • The difference between a doer and a real strategic partner
  • A simple three to six month test you can use before saying yes to anything

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Founders who have said yes to something because it felt like proof they had arrived
  • Anyone sitting on a new offer, hire, or pivot and not sure if it is the right move or just a shiny object
  • Business owners who struggle to tell the difference between strategic growth and ego driven growth
  • Leaders who want a real filter for decision making, not just gut feeling
