>It seems like some people just want the founder title so they can broadcast to their LinkedIn network and impress people.

Reminds me of this quote from Ronnie Coleman: "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights."

Exactly. I wanted to be a startup CEO for a while until I worked at an 8 person startup and saw just how much effort they put into it. Now I'm not so sure, at least not right now in my life.

And a quote from Peter De Vries - "I love being a writer, but I hate the paperwork."

There are so many variants to this quote I think it's impossible to tell where it originated.

"Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." - Unkown (at least to me)

"Everybody wants to be Seinfeld, but nobody wants to be Jerry Seinfeld" - Chris Rock
