Arguably, one of the most stressful roles one can play in a business, is that of Startup Founder. When one is "called" to make a dent in the universe, to create that which hitherto did not exist, and sometimes to literally produce capital, great employees and happy customers from thin air, sometimes what they need the most is a "happiness instigator!"
In this episode, we meet Ande Lyons, CEO of Startup Life, where she coaches founders on everything from finding investors, to the mindset required to build positive cultures, happy customers, and sustainable businesses.
My favorite quotes from Ande Lyons (paraphrased):
"My coaching is sometimes like an urgent care clinic for founders!"
"Mindset is the biggest potential chokehold for founders."
"New founders must shift quickly from an employee mindset to an owner's mentality."
"Step back and become an observer, even of your own self-talk!"
