Title: Founder’s Syndrome? Who Me?
Headings: 

Content: 3) It’s not about         you. Harsh, but true. It’s hard sometimes to acknowledge that         regardless of how much we put into nurturing the organization we founded, in         the long run, none of that really matters. It’s not about our emotional         needs - regardless of what those are. It’s not about what we’ve         sacrificed to make it all work, or the recognition / gratitude we think we         should get. It’s about the community, which is why we created this gift in         the first place. If we have not prepared the organization to survive (and dare         I say thrive?) without our presence, and we therefore cannot even think of         leaving, as the organization would crumble without us, then we have somehow         made it about us, rather than about the community. 4) Your vision         isn’t nearly as important as the organization’s vision and the         community’s vision. Yes, it was our vision that founded the         organization in the first place.
