It sure can be a struggle to identify the main purpose one serves in their organization. Putting down the wrong label can result in others viewing the person incorrectly, as far as the function they perform.

Carol, every time I see a free email address I think “rank amateur.” If they don’t have the expertise to set up email at their own domain, they probably don’t have much expertise.

But then again it’s not like Tyler is trying to sell anything off to the people he gives his card to.

Couple of questions.

1. Who exactly is going to sue you for misrepresenting yourself on your business card? All these legal ‘experts’ running around your blog and the only problem the _actual_ lawyer could raise was the the term was “technically incorrect.” Lawyers massively hedge their bets with all their advice so if that’s the strongest language he could use, you’re safe.

2. History is littered with examples of big shot owners putting stupid titles like “Evil Grandmaster” on their business card.

3. CEO or President does make you sound like a pompous ass.

Although I’d personally go without the title as well.

In my opinion,i think that YOU should choose in which category you fit best. Afterall, it’s all about feeling at ease with the name that you deem right!!

Hi Tyler,

don’t bother at all about a title on your business card, pick it incorrectly and you can even get legal trouble for misrepresenting.

Do like I and some previous posters did, don`t put any title at all.

If you do want to show off a bit you can always add a tagline to your company name such as: ¨A Tyler Cruz company / venture / enterprise¨
