If you love something let it go(or how to manage your inner founder mentality)

@lizziehodgson01

Founders are known for:Creativity, innovation, determination, native intelligence,

and a sense of fearlessness.

@lizziehodgson01 @thinknat

Founders (often) create something from nothing.Abracadabra. They’re magic.

@lizziehodgson01 @thinknat

Founders are also relentless. No matter how bad it looks.

Founder’s mentality:

@lizziehodgson01

Founder's mentality (also founderitis) is a popular term for a difficulty faced by organisations where one

or more founders maintain disproportionate power and influence following the effective initial establishment of the project, leading to a wide range of problems for both the organisation and those involved in it. The passion and

charisma of the founder or founders, which was such an important reason for the successful establishment of the

organisation, becomes a limiting and destructive force, rather than the creative and productive one it was in the

early stages It occurs in both non-profit and for-profit organisations. It may simply limit the further growth and success of the project, may lead to bitter factionalism and divisions as the scale of demands made on the

organisation increases, or may result in failure.

@thinknat

Basically, get it wrong and the founder mentality suffocates opportunity, ruins possibility and

buries potential in a fog of ego.
