What I’ve learned about myself from being a Co-Founder: - My creativity and ideas are better when I have someone else to work with - I need clear roles and responsibilities to feel focussed - Being accountable to someone else helps my productivity and motivation - I need independence within a team - I can be impatient - I find it a hard balance on when to share opinion and when not to - I put a lot of trust in long term vision and gut feel - Your energy really impacts those around you And the lessons keep coming! 😂 Shout out to my partner on our LUNA + LION journey, Scarlett Burgon-Burgess ♥️ What have you learned about yourself being a Co-Founder? #cofounders #businesspartners #brandingagency #cofoundercoach #businesspartnercoach

We got our first YES, and now the co-founder journey just got real! It's time to buckle down and build.... Today, I heard something that really resonated with me: "Do everything like you're running for Presidency." Speak up about your achievements, put yourself out there, and don’t shy away from tooting your own horn. Of course, humility is key, but so is confidently sharing what you’ve accomplished and where you’re headed. These are invaluable lessons I’ve learned while pitching—it's about showing what makes you the right person to build, grow, and create something truly special.

Just watched The Founder – wow! Here are my 5 takeaways:👇 1️⃣ Persistence is 🔑 2️⃣ Systems > everything 3️⃣ Be adaptable & take risks 4️⃣ Dream big, start small 5️⃣ Value partnerships, but set boundaries

Sometimes, letting go is the only way to get exactly what you were looking for. Even though founders tend to believe that finding a co-founder is a mandatory stage in their journey, in some cases, building as a solo founder is the right thing to do. Eynat Bing, whom I had the pleasure of supporting through her ideation and co-founder-hunting process, spoke precisely about that in one of our latest events. Listen to her words of wisdom:

As a founder, one of the most crucial decisions you’ll make is selecting a co-founder (or not). Make sure you get it right.

Proud to be on this panel to discuss a very important topic. As Founders, Our health is our Wealth.

Isn't having no ego a 'must have' quality for co-founders? There are many compatibilities required between co-founders like, - complimenting each others skills - Understanding and sync - good communication and what not. But having 'no-ego' is a must and all others can be figured out! If there is even slightly form of ego, then everything else collapses and there is no way forward. This is true for any relationship for that matter - family, friends everything! And I am super glad I found a co-founder in Kamaladasan A. and feeling nothing but grateful! What is that one quality you are grateful for in your co-founder? Give them a shout out and write your own cofounder appreciation post :) Sometimes we miss acknowledging the people who are right next to us! Happens :) #cofounder

How I can benefit from a Like Minded Team Being part of a mastermind has been instrumental in my journey, as it has guided me towards the deals I'm currently involved in. It's a full-circle experience, as I find myself surrounded by like-minded individuals who share similar values and personalities. In syndication deals, compatibility and teamwork are crucial. Everyone involved needs to mesh well together, as disagreements or conflicts can hinder progress. Finding a sponsor who aligns with your goals and understands your strategy is very important. When all partners are on the same page and view each other as partners rather than just numbers, it sets the stage for a successful team.
