I'm in the process of transitioning from a product role at a company to embracing the entrepreneurial journey. Any tips or insights on how to effectively rebrand myself on LinkedIn during this transition? 🔄 Has anyone here could share their experience or advice? I mean - Even the headline that says now that i'm " product manager at X " - what I supposed to write there when i not an employee anymore? All those "Entrepreneur | lecturer | leader" feels a bit awkward to me. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from your experiences! 🙌

First step is to acknowledge yourself as an entrepreneur or founder can also work. Product owner turned Entrepreneur might also work. Product role would be your specialisation and you might become a generalist in other departments to run business. So you should use that as a strength for your new journey. Wish you the best for your journey..

@sathish_nagarajan Thank you. At first, it felt a bit strange, but now I fully embrace and confidently declare myself an entrepreneur. The suggestion to somehow keep the product title in the headline is a good one, and I'm still figuring out how to articulate it. Appreciate your input! :)

Update your LinkedIn profile to highlight entrepreneurial skills, achievements, and your business venture. Emphasize leadership, innovation, and any relevant experience that showcases your transition from a company product role to an entrepreneur.
