3 Ways to Support the Movement We're Building Together [Two on Tuesdays]
|
Happy Tuesday, Reader! Over the last few weeks, I've shared the research gaps driving The 6% Project, the two unlocks behind every woman founder I know who has broken through the $250K ceiling, and the community we're building to close those gaps for the next generation of women-owned businesses. But there’s one crucial element: You. The research, mentorship, and community are important. But this is a grassroots effort, built by and for the women doing the work, and that means we need people who are willing to show up for it. There are three ways to do that, and one of them is right for where you are right now. 3 Ways to Support the Movement1. Start or mentor a $250K Club chapter.Not at $250K yet? The $250K Club is being built for exactly where you are. It’s a community of women doing the work, supported by mentors who have already been there. If you're working toward that threshold and want peer support and guidance from women who get it, this is your community. Already past $250K? Reach your hand back. Every chapter will have at least two mentors, and we're looking for women who have broken through and are ready to help the next crew do it too. Your experience is exactly what someone else needs right now.
2. Participate in The 6% Project study.If you're a woman founder who has grossed $250,000 or more for at least three consecutive years, your story belongs in this research. Submit your information and our team will be in touch over the coming weeks to walk you through next steps.
3. Become a sponsor or partner.Here's something worth saying plainly: We won't get the funding this research deserves from the government or academia in the current environment. The 6% Project will be built the same way most women build their businesses: through community, collaboration, and people who believe in the mission enough to invest in it. If you believe that growing the success rate of women-owned businesses is critical to building a kinder, more abundant future for all of us (not just the broligarchy), let's connect. If you are…
Reach out. Let's connect with each other. In building together, we're not just building our businesses. We're building community. And when women build community, we build a better world. Until next time, Renia C. P.S. - Not sure which of these is the right fit? Reply to this email and tell me where you are in your journey. I read every message. |

Happy Tuesday, Reader! We've made it to the last of our 5 Principles of Sustainable Marketing: long-term thinking. In a zero-click digital world (and one where the phone in your pocket is competing for your attention even while you're standing in a physical room with actual people), the discipline of thinking in long-term story arcs has become a superpower precisely because almost nobody is doing it anymore. Marketing has become about optimizing for the next scroll, the next quarter, the next...
Happy Tuesday, Reader! Last week, we talked about Sustainable Marketing Principle #3: marketing as the heartbeat of the company. This week, we're on Principle #2: build on a values-driven framework. A values-driven framework starts with getting clear on your 3-Core: your core values, your core beliefs, and the core communities you're built to serve. Get those three things right, and you have a foundation solid enough to stand on, no matter what’s happening around you. Many people view...
Happy Tuesday, Reader! Last week, we talked about Sustainable Marketing Principle #4: building an intentional word-of-mouth and referral strategy. This week, we're moving to Principle #3: marketing is the heartbeat of the company, not an appendage. While it’s often treated as an afterthought, sustainable marketing is part of a business's DNA, deeply aligned with its goal of service and its values. When it's disconnected from either, it stops working the way it should. Where I See This...
