Thanks for sharing this, if you don’t mind to elaborate, what aspects of personality do you think have more weight?
Have you consider partnering with someone who complements those aspects?
My anecdotal opinion - pure tech people don't usually make good founders because they are too realistic and grounded.
A company needs a visionary, someone who is at times even blinded by their optimism and vision. You pair that visionary with a strong grounded realist, and they balance each other out. There are times when both are needed - to either take a leap of faith (risk) or mitigate/avoid risks.
But this dynamic will also only work if these founders have good communication and respect towards each other, otherwise friction can turn into bitterness and resentment.
I think we should not force ourselves to become something we are not.
If you've got the Unicorn CEO personality, go for it as it would be a pity to be stopped by fear.
If you don't have it, why chase the social norm of the day?
You won't make it and you'll be miserable.
Again, not everyone has to be a CEO.
You can be great at something else but you need to be blind to the social requirements of your age.
What is cool today wasn't cool 20 years ago and won't be cool in 20 years time, anyway, understand this and you are free.
Maybe we will look back at the "be big or go home" days as a skewed approach to business fuelled by VCs need for high returns.
And yes, today I look for partners who can complete me, as I have millions ideas but I only enjoy the first part, where you go from 0 to 10, growth 10 to 1000 is boring for me and I'm not good at it.
BTW, if anyone is good at it, I have great ideas in the Vacation Rentals (Airbnb) market, my contacts are in the profile.
