I do all main executive tasks in my start-up company.?
From the second I decided to start my company, I called myself the CEO. There was a simple reason I called myself the CEO, and that was because I was the CEO.

What are you going to say your role is to your prospective recruits? Gee, Im not the CEO yet because Im the only person in the company. Ill call myself the CEO after three people join the company. That sounds pretty weak, doesnt it? Be proud that youre the CEO. Youre building a successful company, aren't you? Successful companies need a CEO. Thats not being pretentious, thats just you doing your job. Theres nothing to be ashamed of. And no one is going to make fun of you or laugh at you behind your back because youre calling yourself the CEO. What do you care if someone makes fun of you anyway?
