I understand being humble and open is the path to success and living with absoulte certaintys is incredibly dangerous. if you know it all you will never learn. However I am human and I feel like this will creep up. How do you guys remain humble and know you dont know it all?

</blockquote>There's a lot been said on this Forum about purposeful reading. <br />
<br />
So I'd say: keep a regular reading habit.<br />
<br />
Read on whatever you feel deeply convicted about. Doesn't always have to be strictly about business all the time. It can be on love, faith, negotiation psychology...whatever that seems to be testing your humility currently.<br />
<br />
Read what the dominant opinions are currently, and what critics speak against them. <br />
<br />
No argument is ever foolproof. Read all sides to the argument, and pay attention to what the authors feel about it.<br />
<br />
Recent example in my field:<br />
<br />
In the copywriting space, selling email copy packages was touted as a 'great and fast' way to get started-- or to even make good money. One could even build entire marketing agencies solely on this skill alone. I followed this pathway for a time myself.<br />
<br />
Then I realised when clients started asking me to do different copy jobs, I struggled a bit.<br />
<br />
Then amongst my regular email feed, a guy named Zarak started talking on cold-traffic copywriting. <br />
<br />
While he was obviously selling a course on it-- and cold-traffic is just one of the layers of customer awareness-- he had some solid points.<br />
Namely that relying on email copy alone was pretty bad for real persuasion mastery-- because <b>you are already writing to a 'sold' audience.</b><br />
Which might not bring that much value, compared to turning pure strangers or skeptics into sales. <br />
<br />
And even AI can automate many types of sales emails already-- so if AI is to be your 'marketing manager', you might as well spend more time learning how to use it for tougher, higher-level tasks like cold traffic.<br />
<br />
If I didn't wind down enough to listen to Zarak, I might not have had another route opened to me.</div>
