One Brick at a Time

This week I was speaking with a founder and I realized that we all have something in common. We all tend to feel that we are alone on our own little island. As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, remember that you are not on this journey alone. Lean on other founders, mentors, and founder focused communities. We all need inspiration, wisdom and motivation. This is why we decided to create Founder’s Formula.

Here’s this weeks top 5 tweets:

Energy is truly contagious. The best founders I’ve worked with and for were extremely energetic and spread throughout the entire organization. Energy breeds productivity!

_#2 

Have Fun! Reflect on why you decided to start the company. Why did you take the leap into becoming a founder?

Smile. Laugh. Enjoy the Ride!

#3

Health is wealth! Without your health, the business will be impacted and so will your family. Take care of yourself and your mental health.

Things will never go as planned. “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” - Mike Tyson

That’s why it’s so important to celebrate your wins. No matter how big or how small.

Also, get out of the habit of comparing yourself to others. Very rarely are things as good as they seem from the outside. Many founders are facing the same challenges and issues.

This shit is very hard! Sometimes I think I’m crazy for taking the path of entrepreneurship. You have to be intrinsically motivated to keep going every single day. Take it one day at a time.

“Instead of trying to build a brick wall, lay a brick everyday. Eventually you’ll look up and you’ll have a brick wall.'“ - Nipsey Hussle

Feel free to share your thoughts on this issue! If there’s any topics you’d like to know about as a Founder let us know and we’ll get to work to cover it.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
