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

Content: But the sad truth is that         nobody owes us anything for doing that. We did it because we cared. And         regardless of which metaphor you use - that of having a child, or that of         giving a gift - neither of them provides for a payback. Our “payback”         in having a child is in seeing our children grow and take on the world         themselves. And our “payback” for giving a gift is in seeing how         happy the recipient is to use that gift, hopefully for a long long         time. 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.
