Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to meet hundreds of people I would consider Founders. However, many of them shy away from embracing this label.
I think it's probably because the word "founder" is often associated with the "startup" world. Or maybe they just see themselves more as an entrepreneur or someone who has "simply" started a business.
For example, some of my clients refer to themselves as the "Owner", the "Principal", the "Director", or a "Consultant". But guess what? Despite the different titles, they all share many of the same qualities that, to me, capture the essence of a Founder.
Do these feel familiar?
I work with clients who encompass most, if not all, of these traits.
So, whether you see yourself as an entrepreneur, consultant, owner, or principal, then maybe I can help you too. Just let it be known I might accidentally call you a Founder!
