There is no road to riches and fame on the Internet paved with gold. For $5,000 you can buy influence and press releases and make yourself out to be whatever you want to be. I know, because I've done this for my clients. CEO status is a joke in this day and age. Companies coming from nowhere, claiming the moon backed by nothing but their own words should be avoided at all costs. It's all hype. A 26 year old is not a qualified CEO. Few are. You aren't. I'm not. I've seen members here on BHW pull this same kind of shit on a smaller scale. Inflating numbers and concepts and acting as if business is golden, when the truth is far less impressive.
Fly under the radar. Avoid scrutiny. Give yourself a title you deserve, not a title you want to be recognized as. Keep your customers happy. Grow. Expand. Pay your employees. Build a brand that stands for loyalty and delivers on what is promised. Then you are a CEO.
