Girl...You're A "Determined" Founder!
You’ve got drive and ambition and you make entrepreneuriship look easy!You’ve got a long list of to-do’s and you love checking things off, one-by-one. Your powerfully logical mind helps you find the solutions to even the most difficult of problems and you make things happen.Your quick-paced mind and natural aptitude for problem-solving make you an amazing entrepreneur and CEO. And your determined go-getter attitude means you're willing to do the work to get to the top of the startup world.Your big challenge? Sometimes you might be a little bit too competitive and you’ve been accused of being a bit too controlling at least once or twice - but guess what in the startup world those skills will get you and your startup to big places, because you can see the big picture and you want to bring everyone up with you.Of course, when you’ve got ideas as great as yours, it’s understandable that you want to be in charge of their implementation — even if it means that some people just don’t get you!"I believe you have to be willing to be misunderstood if you're going to innovate" — Jeff BezosYour action plan will be sent over to you shortly. Meantime here are my top tips & awesome resources for determined founders like you! 1. Stop looking at life competitively and start looking at it collaboratively. Yes, you’ve got lots of ideas and the ability to make things happen, but you need to surround yourself with others on your wavelength, who you have common ground with, a place that spark collaboration and serendipity. That place is community - the most important source of support and elevation a founder can find - once you've found the right one of course!2. Understand that you don't have all the answers and that you will need to know that to be successful as a startup you will be expected to know those crucial fundamentals. Your brilliant brain is so fast that you sometimes you can overlook fundamentals or skip stages to get to the final outcome - but you can't afford to do that as s founder otherwise you will end up with a business model that is fatally flawed.3. Give yourself a break, burnout is real! Give yourself to do things are your own pace! You’re killing it in life and business. Take a day off and go for a walk in the woods or have a long chat with your bestie.
