Successful Founders, Even with your success, what are some things that still make you anxious?

I'm anxious about a lot of things, and I asked this question to find some motivation.

Major imposter syndrome for sure. Always feel like I don't deserve the success and someone is going to figure out I'm a fraud. But hey, fake it till you make it, right? 😉 Also the constant pressure to keep growing and not let the momentum die. It's a rollercoaster!

I would say managing expectations of stakeholders

@alexdigitalmkt I imagine it's a never-ending process for you as a founder, right?

For sure, even with success there are always anxieties and unknowns. Managing stakeholder expectations is a big one - keeping investors, employees, customers etc aligned and bought in to the vision. Hiring the right people and building a strong culture is also always on my mind. And of course the constant pressure to grow and meet targets. I don't think the anxiety ever fully goes away, you just learn to channel it productively!
