Swag Not Self-Obsessed - EP 115

As entrepreneurs, we all want to win. We want to crush it in business, take home the biggest checks, and feel like the baddest person in the room. But here’s the truth: winning isn’t just about confidence. Yes, confidence gets you in the door—it’s the swagger that drives risks and bold moves. But if you don’t balance that confidence with humility, you risk crashing and burning. Today, I’m sharing how to strike the perfect balance between the two so you can build a sustainable, successful business without letting arrogance derail your progress.

Confidence is essential—it’s the fuel that drives action. It’s what gave me the guts to start my first business and what helped me believe I could create something great. But confidence unchecked can turn into arrogance. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, from hiring the wrong people to ignoring feedback because I thought I knew better. Those mistakes didn’t sink me because I was willing to learn, listen, and adjust. That’s where humility came in—it reminded me that I didn’t get here alone and that every win was built on the support of my team, mentors, and even hard lessons learned.

Balancing confidence and humility is the key to long-term success. Confidence gets you moving forward, while humility keeps you grounded and growing. You need the self-belief to take risks but the humility to acknowledge your flaws and seek help when needed. It’s about walking into a room with enough swagger to say, “I’m here because I’m good,” but enough humility to recognize, “I didn’t do this alone.” Whether it’s building your team, learning from failure, or staying grounded in your journey, this balance will set you apart and keep you winning. Tune in for more on how to master this mindset and take your business—and life—to the next level.
