Founders

Been recently thinking about this a lot and I realized something about the best founders I've come across, and that is that they all have a SUPERIORITY COMPLEX.

Before I get hung in public about this, let me explain. The best founders don't think that their shit doesn't stink, quite the contrary. They know their shortcomings and they know they're not perfect. 

When I say they have a superiority complex, they strongly believe that there is NO ONE that can execute and build their product better than they can; that their vision is so crystal clear that it's impossible not to execute well. 

Because of this trait, they can sell better to customers, they can sell better to VCs, and they can sell better to their audience.

What do you think? Anything you would add or disagree on? I'm all ears.

My superiority complex is knowing I can make the best candles in the world ;) 

Best is not static, best as in constantly improving at a rate faster than my competitors.

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make candles that give people love, joy, and delight at humankind.place

Is it a superiority complex if it's unequivocally true?

That was a previous business, but I appreciate it :)

Love this take. Keep crushing it out there. 300k in ARR for a physical product business is no easy feat!
