Self employed job titles

If you were to work as a consultant (self employed), what job title should you give yourself, and which ones should you avoid (incase you dont want to look like a d-bag) i.e. Director, Consultant, Principal, etc ?

I’m self employed. Before I had employees working for me I didn’t put any job title on my card. Later on, when I hired the first sales person I added founder. What is the point of adding a job title for a 1 man enterprise?
