I recently wound down as CEO of a company I founded 13 years ago. It was successful by any measure.

But leading it was no longer my passion.

My goal was to leave that role and help others starting their #FounderJourney.

Here is what I’m learning …

👉🏽 Opportunities are everywhere and the bar to enter has never been lower.

Focus is needed more than ever.

👉🏽 Twitter provides the greatest entrepreneurial education in the 🌎.

Use it. Build your community of founders and rest on each other when it get hard. It will get hard.

👉🏽 Experimentation is easier than ever. Embrace the failure that will inevitably (and temporarily) come.

The rise of no code, etc can have you in prototype or beta in hours or days.

Try. Learn. Iterate.

👉🏽 Culture is now your brand. It’s “why you are” instead of “what you are”.

Define and nurture from day 1. Even when your solo.

👉🏽 Stand out by getting your positioning right (or at least thought through).

With so much noise, a founder’s ability to tell the story has never been more important.

👉🏽 The “war for talent” is over hyped and clichéd .

Great talent is everywhere IF you’re thinking remote/global. Constant recruiting starts on day 1 of your startup.

Everyday on my own founders journey I’m learning. I’ll keep updating the list as those lessons become clear.

But these are just mine. Would ❤️ if you would share yours in this post as well.
