107. 8 Business Lessons That Could Change Everything

I just completed my eighth year in business, and honestly, it was a completely wild ride.

Over the last 12 months, I adopted a 10-year-old boy, bought a home, and hosted the world's first-ever conference for Fractional CFOs. I also saw my second company hit seven figures, and I lost $500,000 in recurring revenue in one night….but my team and I made it all back up again over the next 60 days.

As you might imagine, I learned a ton about myself and about business through the course of all of that.

In today's episode of The CFO report, I will share the eight biggest lessons I learned in my eighth year in business.

You're going to want to stick around until the end, because number eight was hands down the biggest lesson I learned this year, and it was the one that's made me the most money.

Let's dive in.
