Startups are always seeking ways to maximize business growth, from retention and referrals to sales and marketing tactics. 🪴 But one of my top business drivers might surprise people: ✨ OPTIMISM ✨ I do not mean to be a Pollyanna. 👧 I do not mean inauthentic positivity. 😁 Optimism for me comes from knowing: I’ve prepared myself and my team, I’ve planned for a variety of ways that this could go, and I’m confident we have the right people at the right time working on the right things. 👷 As founder and CEO of ⚡ Orum.io ⚡, I often hear from people that I’m optimistic…but in a way that’s like, “Oh, that’s cute! Optimism!” 🙅♀️ Nope. Optimism is a business driver — one that allows you to get comfortable in the messy and unknown, because you’ve planned and prepared for the path forward. ⏩ It’s not about being born naturally thinking the glass is half full. 🥛Optimism is a muscle. If it’s not exercised, it will atrophy; if you work on it, it will grow. 💪 Here are four ways I plan and prepare, so I can stay consistently optimistic that we will figure things out: 🧱 Breaking big goals into smaller parts 🧱 Simplifies the “how” when things feel near-impossible. Success is not predicated on sheer optimism, or even pure motivation. It’s achieved by consistently taking one question or problem off the board every day — and getting comfortable with making progress 1% at a time. 🗓️ Thinking in decades, not months or years 🗓️ Avoids the fallacious thinking about overnight successes. By the time we’ve all heard of XYZ tech company, the founder has often been at it for several years. I think about Orum’s impact on society in terms of decades and financial progress. 📊 Scenario planning 📊 An essential tool for gaming out the many “what ifs”. Everyone loves a postmortem, but I believe foresight is as powerful as hindsight. A pre-mortem lets you look ahead and determine what could go wrong, limiting the potential for major unknowns to kneecap you in the future. ✏️ Analyzing what goes wrong and aiming never to make the same mistake twice ✏️ Failure is an inevitability — but it’s also a fantastic opportunity if you lean into it, take the time to do a retrospective, and dig into what could have been better. There is always a next time. And you’ll want all the learnings when that next chance comes around. What did I miss? What would you add? 🤔

Every CEO's secret weapon starts with Superhuman. 🦸♀
A CEO’s secret weapon for achieving Inbox Zero every day. ✅ It’s time for another edition of #OrumOdes, in which I shout out the partners, vendors, and products that we at ⚡Orum.io ⚡use and love. This one’s a top favorite of mine: Superhuman 🦸 It’s an email client designed to help you speed through your inbox in myriad ways — and it entirely changed my relationship with email. ✉️ I wrote last fall about how I get to Inbox Zero every day. 0️⃣ For me, it’s a necessity: a daily challenge, an overarching framework for how I think about my impact at Orum.io, and a structure that trains me not to use my inbox as a task list. ☑️ It’s all thanks to what Rahul Vohra and his team have built at Superhuman. It’s packed with great features, but one of my favorites is called Remind Me: I can ask the system to send me a reminder based on both time and reply status. Remind me in 3 days if there’s no response; remind me next week regardless of whether a reply has come in. ⏱️ This is crucial for not using my inbox as a to-do list. 🙅♀️ Rather than let a message languish — clogging up my inbox just because I can’t get to it yet, but I still don’t forget about it — it’s filed away until I need it. 🙂 Another favorite feature is Snippets. Probably 10-15 times a day, I’m responding to someone saying, “I’d love to chat. Please book some time on my Calendly.” Instead of typing that out a dozen times, I can pre-program that response and use a keyboard shortcut to fire it off. 🔥 This one’s simpler, but I also love Scheduled Send. 📅 I schedule not only items like my Orum Weekly newsletter, but also my responses to email threads. I am very intentional about not barraging my people with email at night, on the holidays, on weekends; that might be a good time for me personally to go through my email, but I don’t want them jumping up because the CEO emailed them on an off time. 😓 For me, Inbox Zero allows me to function at my best for my team. It’s about speed and efficiency, allowing email to be productive communication and not a task list, while giving me the ability to monitor ongoing conversations without clogging the pipes. Superhuman lets me do all that and more ... plus the inbox zero backgrounds are always spectacular images! ✨ #InboxZero #entrepreneur #startup

Stephany Kirkpatrick, CFP®, our CEO & founder, gets real about conquering ‘imposter syndrome.’ 💬 “When you’re facing this reality of — I have an idea, a business plan, investment money, and now where do I go to build this thing that’s never been built, eschewing the industry playbook is a big risk. This was the first time I had to think about not having a technical counterpart and every other role that existed for me already.” She describes how she overcame these challenges and how listening to customers has been central to her success. 👂 Check out the full article and read what these other founders share: ✨ Michael Rangel of Novo ✨ ✨ Everett Cook of Rho ✨ ✨ Max Levchin of Affirm ✨ ✨ Colin Walsh of Varo Bank ✨ #fintech #founders #personalgrowth

🧘 How to stop stressing about every decision in your business 🧘 Yes, some decisions are huge and irreversible: selling your company, choosing the fundamental architecture on which you build your product, quitting your job. But this isn’t MOST decisions. Most of the time, you can try something out and change your mind with relative ease. And yet we tend to stress about both categories of decisions equally — getting ourselves tied in knots and wasting time. 😵 Jeff Bezos thought about it this way at Amazon 👉 Type 1 decisions are those one-way doors you can’t get back through. But most choices are Type 2: You can typically get back through that door with a bit of time and effort if you really need to. 🚪 It’s such a freeing concept for a CEO and business leader. A big part of the job is making decisions, and it’s easy to get tied up seeking the perfect choice. There’s a lot riding on you…so much to consider…so many possible outcomes and options and pitfalls. 😱 But if you spend too much time on this Type 2 decision making, that’s a HUGE opportunity cost. It’s time that could be spent clearing work, moving blockers out of the way, shipping product, getting customer feedback. 👷 Look for places where you’re rewarded for speed of decision-making, not perfection. These are the spots where you’re most likely to have impact. 💥 Sometimes, you just have to make the best decision you can with the information you have — knowing you can make it better later if needed. 🎉 Do not fear mistakes. Do not get caught up in thinking everything is a Type 1, irreversible decision. Instead, bravely decide to plow through that revolving door, knowing you can swing back if needed. In the meantime, you’re knocking down door after door, pushing your business forward. 🚪 #decisionmaking #business #focus

"There’s so much internal and external pressure to say yes to everything. So we’ve got to remind ourselves: Our time is finite. ⌛" Great advice and practical tips from our CEO & Founder, Stephany Kirkpatrick, CFP®. 🙌
Have you recently rescheduled a call two or three times? ✔️ Pushed off starting to write talking points for that presentation? ✔️ Generally avoided something you’d like to do, but in your heart you know you don’t have time for? ✔️ It’s probably a sign that you should say ❤️ no ❤️. Because you’re overcommitted. Saying no is an art, and a difficult one. But it’s necessary if you want to do the truly essential work. 🧑💼 This is a muscle I’ve had to build. 💪 As a #fintech founder and CEO of ⚡ Orum.io ⚡, I’m honored to be asked to do all kinds of things: mentor other CEOs, angel invest, advise early-stage companies…. and the thing is, I WANT to do it all. 🥰 It’s lovely to be perceived as someone who can provide value, and it feels great to help. I’m also a born people-pleaser. However, one of my personal core values is reliability. If I say yes and then can’t live up to my promise, I am letting someone down. 😞 My time and resources are finite. ⏳ I owe it to myself and to others to say no sometimes — even when it’s a heartbreaker. 💔 In one recent example, I was asked to be part of a podcast. It was right up my alley — founders, mental health, etc. — and it was even a friend who asked. The conversation would be great; I REALLY wanted to do it. 🤗 And yet, as I tried to step into doing this work, I just couldn’t get to it. 😣 I struggled; I was truly tempted to muscle through. But in my heart of hearts, I realized I’d be overcommitting. I had to tell my friend: “I hate to say it, but the honest truth is that I just can’t commit to this right now.” She completely understood. There’s so much internal and external pressure to say yes to everything. So we’ve got to remind ourselves: Our time is finite. ⌛ We all have a lot of essential jobs, personally and professionally. For me, this includes my commitment to running Orum and responsibility to show up for my kids and household. 👨👩👧👧 I don’t get a second chance at those things. But I can always tell the person asking about a podcast: “I can’t now, but please think of me next time!” It can be uncomfortable at first, but it’s a muscle worth building. 💪 It’s an art worth perfecting. 🎨 It’s sometimes the best, most loving thing you can say: ❤️ Thank you, but no. ❤️ #sayingno #leadership #no

Meeting customers where they are — one release at a time.
✨✨✨✨✨✨No-code products as a growth driver✨✨✨✨✨✨ For a tech-first audience, APIs are modern and exciting and even obvious. But for some companies they represent a challenge because they have limited engineering resources and getting projects on a crowded roadmap can prove challenging without an initial integration and data. Enter: ⛔ no-code products. ⛔ They allow you to you meet your customers where they are — creating a huge growth driver. Here’s what I mean. 👇 I approached building ⚡ Orum.io ⚡ by focusing on creating the simplest API for fast, reliable payments and instant bank account verification. But as a #fintech, we’ve found that a cohort of our target customers couldn’t work with an API. 🤷 Those companies rely a good amount on files and spreadsheets. 📁 NOT code. 🙅♀️ Those potential customers knew they needed real-time payments. And we wanted to provide them with a best-in-class solution. 👂 We leaned in and listened to our customers. 👂 We asked ourselves: How can we achieve our mission to be an agent of change — to bring RTP to all financial institutions? The answer: We recently launched our No Code Real Time Payments solution. We want to fix payments for more people, so we created ways to access faster payment systems without APIs. We’ll always love and invest in APIs, but this no-code product has filled an important gap. It directly ties back to our mission to bring access and ubiquity to faster payments. It allows us to expand our total addressable market, serving more customers who truly need it. And that’s a win for everybody. 🤝 (BTW, here’s more about No Code RTP 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q02HX4Hp0) #nocode #api #payments
