Jasmine, Paige, and Nat are back together for your weekly group chat show by Female Founder World, and they're kicking things off with a very real conversation about founder FOMO, why being everywhere at once is overrated, and what to do instead.
This week they're getting into college ambassador programs, what actually works, what doesn't, how the big brands are doing it, and the tactical advice Jasmine pulled from Dormify founder Amanda Zuckerman on building a program that scales. Then, they're doing a full six month check in: where everyone's businesses actually are versus where they thought they'd be, why Jasmine is doubling down on content and simplifying everything, why Nat's reflections on pop ups, and the mindset shift that's helping them stay focused for the second half of the year... outputs over outcomes.
Here are some thought starters to do your own 6 month business check in:
What did you think this business would look like by June, and how far off were you?
What's working that you didn't expect to work?
What have you deprioritized since January?
What's the hardest decision you've made this year, and would you make it again?
Is there something you're still doing out of habit or sunk cost rather than because it's actually working?
What's the thing that's costing you more than it's worth right now?
Where are you personally at - energised, depleted, somewhere in between?
What's something you've gotten better at as a founder this year that has nothing to do with the product itself?
Is there a version of burnout creeping in, and what are you doing (or not doing) about it?
What's the one thing you need to get right in the next six months?
