Transitioning from “Me” to “We” – Balancing Your Entrepreneurial Traits to Reach Your Goals
I call them “selfie” entrepreneurs, and you can all spot them from a mile away – at conferences, client visits, phone calls, and even informal events. Selfie entrepreneurs are all about “I,” “me,” and “myself.” This entrepreneurial trait is incredibly toxic and needs immediate correction. Why is that so? All of us are proud entrepreneurs. As founders, your entrepreneurial initiatives are close to your heart, much more than it is to your employees and some of your partners and investors. Your business is after all the result of all the sweat, blood, and hours of hard work you’ve put in even before you got to the start-up phase. The difficulties of shifting from a secure job into a shaky entrepreneurial setup and trying to grab your audience’s attention just like a million other startups are unimaginable.
