Emmie Faust

Last week I felt a bit low

I’m sure you know that feeling 

Working hard and not seeming to get the traction you hoped for

(this is the life of an entrepreneur I know!)

I embarked on this mega survey for The Rise Report

If I’m totally honest I thought getting 2k respondents would be super easy

And it wasn’t 
It’s been hard 

Every day whatsapping Debbie and getting the updated numbers

Was in the valley of despair for a few days
As the numbers grew 
But in my eyes too slowly!

And now we are at the point that we’re nearly done and that feels great  🙌🙌

Looking back I can feel that worry of the task being too big

The stress of the responsibilities 

I imagine it’s akin to a fundraise
Or any important campaign

Trying to gather everyone together to get  involved in your mission when it’s a new thing! 

To get the early adopters to believe in what you’re trying to do!

And my biggest learnings

1/ there is always a valley of despair 
That’s where most people give up

2/ Consistency is everything 
You have to show up time and time again

3/ relationships is what it’s all about
Always has been always will be 

The people that have been :

> checking in on how it’s going 
> promoting the survey
> sharing the survey
> partnering on the survey
> Getting people to do the survey

They’re the ones making it happen!!

So THANK YOU 
All you lovely people 
Like Sam Smith messaging me on a Saturday morning to make it happen

Vic Peppiatt tagging in everyone in her address book!

Debbie for giving me at least daily updates and telling me ‘we’ll do it!’

all our ambassadors (you know who you are)
And our community partners who have taken the time to share with their communities 

And our friends and members who have done the same

To everyone who send me a DM and told me they are on it and sharing!
Or emailed me
Or tagged me in a post
Or came to a meetup to hear about the reported 


We’re going to do it
To get 2000
Women to fill in a thorough, robust survey that we can slice and dice in so many ways to give us reliable annual data

Thanks to our partners who have all been brainstorming with me these last few weeks 

And my FFR Dinner crew
On the end of a WhatsApp 

Checking In daily

And to the team at Barclays UK for believing and wanting to be part of this study in the
First place!

It’s very clear the need for an independent report.
The government’s priorities change each time someone new comes into power

But our priorities are always the same - creating opportunities for everyone In entrepreneurship and having the data to back it up.

Get involved (link in bio and comments)
Tag a fellow female founder
spread the word
We’re about to close the survey so it’s urgent so take part
If you want your voice heard!

A love letter to the woman I once was
.
If I could sit down with 25-year-old me, I’d tell her 3 things:

1/ Be kind to yourself
You can be ambitious and gentle - both are allowed.

2/ Sometimes you have to do hard things
Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.

3/ Wellbeing is everything
You can’t pour from an empty cup - take care of your energy first.


I wrote this as a love letter to my younger self 
But also to anyone still figuring it out 💜

You don’t need all the answers yet.
Just curiosity, courage, and a little self-compassion.

Save this for the days you forget how far you’ve come.
What would you say to your younger self?

3 pieces of advice to 25 year old Emmie

Women owned startups are a better bet

Startups Founded or Cofounded by Women Garner Less in Investments but Generate More Revenue, research shows.

This data is quite old (over 7 years) 
But it’s often quoted because less face it there is SO little up to date resesarch on women-led businesses

(This is why we’ve embarked on a mega survey of 2k female founders with The Rise Report of Female Entrepreneurship)

Anyway back to the findings 👇

According to their research, when women business owners pitch their ideas to investors for early-stage capital, they receive significantly less (a disparity that averages more than $1 million) than men. 

Yet businesses founded by women ultimately deliver higher revenue (more than twice as much per dollar invested)
than those founded by men, 

👉making women-owned companies better investments for financial backers. 

And yes I’m invested most of my disposable cash in women
Not just for this reason but also cos I want to see the funding levels become more equal

🎉 And I just had my first exit 🎉

What is missing in the UK right now is an up to date regular and robust report and that’s what we are trying to do.

Of course we can’t cover off everything on day 1 but slowly over time we will gather it all and get an independent yearly review on the state of female entrepreneurship

Are your favourite brands female-founded? 👀

These supermarket staples were all started by incredible women:

🍿 Cassandra created PROPERCORN in 2011
👶 Joanna founded Childs Farm Ltd in 2010
🐿️  Pip launched Pip & Nut | B Corp in 2013

Female founders aren’t just building brands 
They’re launching and redefining everyday products we love
And I'll be highlighting many more....

You need to know about these 3 female-founded brands

Everyone talks about starting a business

No one talks about staying sane once it works.

I learned that the hard way - after scaling my businesses, I realised burnout doesn’t come from doing "too much"…
It comes from doing the wrong things
Without systems that protect your brain.

Most founders don’t need more 'hacks'
They need ways to clear their brain and get perspective

I was talking with a founder friend yesterday about exactly this 
We both have so much on how do you keep a clear head
To prioritise and work on the mission-critical?

So sharing some thoughts in a carousel

These are systems used by me and other founders who’ve learned that: 
→ Recovery is a business strategy
→ Managing your energy for the win
→ Emotional control is leverage

These 7 habits really help me focus 
Do any of them resonate with you?

Your focus is your equity 🙌
Protect it like it’s the most valuable asset you own

7 Habits to Keep Focus and Give you Clarity

We're led to believe we need to compete

But there is a different way

Coming together to create change

When I read this the other night in bed
It spoke to me
(absolutely love Rupi's poems)

And this is the reason I set up FFR
(https://lnkd.in/eqwmPK4F)

↳ to bring women together to collaborate and connect
↳  to refer each other business
↳  to share learnings and ideas
↳  to be part of something bigger than themselves
↳  to trade competition for collaboration
↳  the more the merrier

It's working....
we're seeing so many businesses benefit from the generous mindset of our members

Looks it's not easy
It's built inside of us to feel the fight 
to win the race
to be the best
And there is nothing wrong with ambition 
We all need that

But also connection + collaboration feels so good
We're made for it

Thank you to ALL my collaborators who have supported us on this project the last few weeks
And for being open to do things a different way
We're so nearly there now.

And let me know do you know the wonderful Rupi Kaur?

You know one of the hardest things?

Getting buy-in to an idea or project before it’s a thing!

You have to 
✅Sell the dream 
✅ Sell the big vision
✅ Sell the mission

This has been my life for the last 2 weeks.

No one wants to fill in another survey…
We all have survey fatigue

And here I am asking women to fill in ‘another survey’
(This will be the last time for sure!)

And many have said no
And I understand why
(That’s another post)


Of Course next year will be so much easier
With momentum
And trust and 
The Rise Report of Female Entrepreneurship will be a thing.

Next time it will be easier to get people to share their time and data and insights
Because they will see the impact.

An important lesson I learnt from the wondeful Seth Godin 👇

In business the hardest work is getting the first users onboard.
The early adopters 

Getting people to buy into something new and unknown is hard but 
Once you get the early adopters on board 
It all becomes so much easier.


I’m happy to say we are very close to having our first 2k early adopters for this report survey and it feels 
GREAT to say that.


If you resonate with being an ‘early adopter’ you have a few days to get involved.
Otherwise you will have to wait til next year to share your insights, data and stories.

You’ll find the link in my featured section or in the comments below 👇

Two words changed how I think about success.

(I used to believe talent was fixed) 
That you were either born with it, or you weren’t.

Then someone told me about the Growth Mindset
And everything changed.

This mindset doesn’t just shape how we grow
It shapes who we become as a leader, as an entrepreneur, as a person

The difference between “I can’t do this”
and “I can’t do this yet”
is EVERYTHING

People with a fixed mindset:
→ Avoid challenges
→ Fear failure
→ Quit when it gets hard

People with a growth mindset:
→ See struggle as data, not defeat
→ Embrace feedback
→ Persist until they improve

The thing is every 'expert' started somewhere
Every success comes after a dozen failures

One of the top tips from Harvard Business Review is to surround yourself with growth-minded people
(you can find them in FFR > https://lnkd.in/eqwmPK4F)

On my journey to building Female Founders Rise I embrace this mindset daily.
And it's made a huge difference to my work and life 
When something doesn't go to plan
It's not failure it just data.

→ Save this for when progress feels slow - or when doubt creeps in.
And ask yourself the question 
How can I embrace the Growth Mindset this coming week?

Sometimes my mind can play games

Tell me I’m not enough

That I’m going to get cancelled 

That people don’t like me

That it’s not going to work out


And other days my mind is kind and compassionate

And says ‘I’m so Proud of you’

‘You’re smashing it’

‘You’re doing so well’

And on this crazy journey of being a mum to 4, an entrepreneur, running a community and learning on the job I sometimes forget to stop and prioritise my mind

And this made me smile
It was a little message that stopped me on my scroll

A reminder to rest
Work on my mental fitness
Come back to my breath 


We’re all in this together
Agree?

Knowing when to keep going, tweak or stop

One of the hardest parts of marketing is knowing when to change course.

When to double down.
When to tweak.
When to stop.

The best marketers aren’t the ones who follow the plan no matter what. They’re the ones who listen to their audience and adjust quickly.

In a recent project, Google ads were driving traffic but the quality was poor and, based on research, we knew this wasn’t part of their customer journey. We reduced the spend to brand protection, focused on where the audience actually was, LinkedIn and Reddit, and rebuilt around activity that delivered results within the first two weeks.

The difference wasn’t luck. It was clarity. Knowing what the audience wanted and having the confidence to stop what wasn’t working.

Don’t confuse activity with progress. Listen, measure, and focus your energy where it counts.

It’s half term which means the juggle is real.

Every time the holidays roll around I remind myself that I can’t do it all. This week isn’t about trying to tick every box, it’s about focusing on what’s actually important.

When time’s tight I go back to the things I know work. 
✔️The content that’s already performed well. ✔️The posts that sparked a real conversation. ✔️The insights that people saved or shared.

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we need to create something new every time. But repurposing your best content is one of the smartest things you can do. 
Turn a great post into a short video. 
Pull a quote for a visual. 
Reshare a story that still holds up. Most people won’t remember seeing it the first time.

So this week I’m choosing progress over perfection and using what’s already proven to work.

If you had to pick one piece of content to repurpose this week, what would it be?

(Pic taken yesterday, walking the sandstone trail with my dad and Percy the dog)

My friend and all-round powerhouse Emmie Faust is leading something incredibly important:
 👉 The Rise Report
One of the largest surveys of female founders in the UK.

It’s anonymous, it takes 8 minutes, and we’re nearly there:
 ✅ 1,600 responses in
 🚀 2,000 needed

Emmie's doing this because 
🤯  There hasn’t been robust, national data on women founders for over five years.
😶‍🌫️ Because when 300 responses and 1,200 data points were submitted to the Parliamentary Enquiry, they were ignored.
🚀  Because if we want change, we need evidence — not anecdotes.

This is about creating a credible benchmark report that captures the real experiences of women running businesses across the UK. 
The challenges, yes, but also the wins, the resilience, and the success stories that deserve more attention.

If you’re a woman founder, please add your voice:
 👉 Share your experience in The Rise Report: https://lnkd.in/ez4taF9j

We’re nearly at the finish line. Let’s get it there.

There’s a special kind of frustration that comes from doing brilliant work that goes nowhere.

Do you know what I mean? 

Last year I sat with a fintech CMO who’d done 30+ customer and non-customer interviews.
✅ Beautiful insights, clear messaging by segment
❎ But six months later, nothing had changed.

“The website’s the same. Sales still use the old deck. I know what we should be doing… we just can’t make it happen.”

I’ve been there. 
You finally understand your customers, you can see what better looks like but the gap between knowing and doing feels impossible.

Not because people don’t care, but because turning “IT cares about integration, compliance cares about audit trails” into 47 tactical changes across 6 channels is huge.

So the insights sit in a deck. 
Gathering dust.
Tomorrow I’m sharing what I’ve learned about bridging that gap 
and how to turn insight into action and get results.

If you’ve ever felt that frustration, this one’s for you.

#B2BMarketing #Positioning #GrowthStrategy

Here's how we turn customer conversations into content that converts

Here’s how we help B2B SaaS teams unlock their next stage of growth without spending a penny more on acquisition:
↳ Record five real customer calls (sales, onboarding, support)
↳ Transcribe and feed them into AI (your LLM of choice)
↳ Feed your LLM with your Jobs To Be Done / customer problems you solve 
↳ Ask questions like “What problems do customers repeat most often?” or "How did they feel after they purchased" 
↳ Build messaging and roadmap priorities only around those patterns
That’s it.

Every time I’ve seen this be integrated properly, marketing suddenly sounds like customers, not consultants.
And this makes growth feel easier, because you’re not guessing anymore

The answers are already sitting in your conversations. 
You just haven’t looked closely enough.

Follow me, Lucy, for more frameworks that help founders scale smarter, not noisier.

PS I also got this idea from a client conversation yesterday. Winning when my brain is dead at the end of the day!
