“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
Totally fair to feel flat. Out of curiosity, what did the slip cost you: a date on a slide, or conversations with real buyers? Usually it's the date. Use the week. Rebuild the launch list, tighten the one-line reason anyone should care, and book calls now so the new date lands on a full calendar.
Give the team a number they control each day, calls booked with early users, and post it. Small wins you can count by Friday bring momentum back. Then send your waitlist a short, honest note with the new date. A delay with a reason is a follow-up, not an apology.
