I had the pleasure of getting some knowledge nuggets from Suzanne Shank yesterday. She's an owner of a publicly traded financial company who gave a talk to me and a group yesterday.
I sent an email telling her that the biggest takeaway I had was its not "What you are", it's "who you are".
It IS NOT, what you are.
It IS, who you are.
I know that many budding entrepreneurs get caught up in titles. Being CEO, Company Owner, Business Owner, etc.
These titles will add no value to YOU and serve no purpose to your larger goals.
What WILL make a difference is WHO you are. Your character, your personality, your own swag. That will make you tons of money and take you many places.
I've been guilty of this myself in the past but the trend is dangerous to the name of entrepreneurship. Just scrolling through LinkedIn and Twitter, you'll find thousands of CEO's with no employees or Investors with $100 in their portfolio.
This hurts your reputation. Instead, what would be more valuable is to say something humble about WHO you are. That will speak loudest and most positively. Your personality and intended business culture is what anyone cares about.
One day when you finally make it, to all your financial goals and dreams. You'll realize, people got you there from WHO you are, not WHAT you were.
