Based on Jenn’s experience working with entrepreneurs, a majority find themselves off-track from what they predicted back in January by mid-year.  But there's a fix. A mid-year audit gives you three things: visibility into what's actually working, two quarters to make corrections, and data to replace the guessing. Even if you’re finding yourself in a windfall, you can still get blind-sided. This is the real conversation every entrepreneur needs to have mid-year so there are no surprises come December.    📝 What We Cover in This Episode: In this episode you'll discover: -What Jenn sees over and over: most entrepreneurs’ first halves don't land as planned -Why mid-year is your actual decision point, not December -What happens in your head when the numbers don't match the story you told yourself at the start of the year  -The difference between financial data as compliance vs. financial data as strategy -How looking at your numbers solo creates stories.
