Why this
exists.

If you are reading this, it is because A Founder's Concern tells you something.

I am Michele, a founder who, ironically, is just as concerned as you are. Funny, isn't it?

Since 2023, I have tried it all. From selling beats online to running a failed marketing agency. None of it taught me much. But it did something else — it made me unable to stop thinking about the chance that we have. Yes, we.

We are the first generation that can run an empire from everywhere, whenever we want, at any age. I am currently in college. And for the past four years, I kept telling myself the same lie.

Next summer became next year. Next year became when school is finished. And since I graduated from high school, I kept finding a way not to begin.

The worst part is not even that. It is that I felt guilty every single day. I knew I had everything required to start. And believe it or not, all you need are three things: your phone, a bit of creativity, and a simple dream. But somehow, I never started doing something I was genuinely excited about.

Fear, doubt, or any reason the mind can find not to move. The result was always the same. I always waited for the perfect moment. Which, of course, never came.

One day I realized that if I wanted to get out of this circle, I had to do something. Anything. I stopped caring about what the world needed. There are thousands of marketing agencies that can do a better job than I would. But is that something I need?

After that question, I stopped looking outside the window and started looking in the mirror. The problem has never been a saturated market or the inability to produce a billion-dollar idea. The problem has always, and only, been me.

A Founder's Concern is not just a publication for founders who, like me, are still looking for their purpose. It is a place where you can stop feeling alone. A place where you are understood and supported in your worthy small idea.

Every week I will write essays to share personal advice, honest insight, and my own mistakes — so you do not fall into them the way I did. All of it free. Always.

I would really appreciate it if you clicked that button below. Because if fewer than 500 words made you feel a sense of comfort, even just for a moment, it means that what I wrote is not a solo experience. It is a whole movement of a younger generation finally seeking what gives them a sense of living, freedom.
