526: Master Your Ego: The Real Key to Purpose, Power & Lasting Success

Is having a big ego really a bad thing, or is it the key to unlocking your highest potential?

In this episode, I break down the Pyramid of Mastery and reveal why ego sits at the very top—and the surprising steps you need to master it for lasting success.

Here are 3 Key Takeaways:

1.Start with Self-Awareness: The journey to self-mastery begins by admitting you have a big ego—and being honest about how that makes you feel. True self-awareness means recognizing your strengths and weaknesses without judgment.

2. Understand and Transform Your Ego: Examine why your ego is so big. Is it rooted in self-belief, or a sense of superiority over others? Embracing self-understanding allows you to shift your mindset from ego as arrogance to ego as confidence—then transform from within.

3. The Dichotomy of Ego Mastery:  Mastering your ego means embracing the paradox that you are both unique and entirely the same as everyone else. Only by reconciling this duality can you reach the top of the mastery pyramid and achieve true self-mastery.
