Be a Humble Beast with Mark Cox
When we become a successful entrepreneur, it is easy to fall into the trap called ego. We’ve created something from nothing. We might not have had a lot of money to start with but we have a lot now. We’ve beaten the odds and used our intelligence and charisma to navigate the world around us. But the success we’ve achieved means nothing if we lack these two things: humility and grit.
The success of our business is mainly dependent, not on our skills, but on our integrity and values. This means that we should be the embodiment of humility and grit— the willingness to do the hard yards to achieve success and the courage to own our failures.
In this episode, Daniel sits with Beyond the Mat author, Mark Cox to talk about what becoming a humble beast means for entrepreneurs. They also talk about the importance of going to the process of growth rather than relying on instant gratification, why we should hire a mentor, why we should not blame our inadequacies for our failures, the ego trap, and the 5 values we should strive to live by.
“You need humility to become great… You got to be a humble beast. You got to be a beast where you need to be a beast— but be humble in spirit when it comes to winning and be humble in losing.” —Mark Cox
