What are your favourite things about being a founder?

by•

There's always a lot of talk about what the biggest challenges of founders are and how to overcome them, but we all have our own reasons for why we do it. For me, the pace at which I'm learning and the incredibly talented and driven people in the startup community outweigh the hardships. What's your take? Would you choose to be a maker and founder all over again?

@ixord So true, there was nothing worse for me than knowing we were moving in the wrong direction but not being able to do something about it in some of my past roles

Working 12-hour days on average including weekends and not having social life is on top of my mind. F**k balance 🤣 On a serious note, talking to people about their problems, then finding innovative ways to solve those problems, then being praised for that is pretty awesome feeling 😄

The learning curve and the startup community are the reasons to embrace the challenges of being a founder. I want grow and learn through the journey that makes it truly rewarding.

@abdellah_abbous The startup community brings so much value, some of the best advice I ever got was from other founders

@abdellah_abbous Thank you! 😊 The Product Hunt community has already helped so much and we're hoping we get same great feedback this time around too 😄

I have to agree that the pace of learning is a big plus, especially considering the range of areas you get exposed to. I think my favorite is the feeling you get from turning an idea into a happy customer.

@thedatadavis Yes, seeing something that was just an idea in your head now solving real-world problems is a great feeling 😄

With experience I can say., what I thought did not work. But staying persistent and learning taught me how this world operates. That feelings of slowly cracking the process is a fun. Every wins after so many struggles is unparalleled joy
