The CFO Report

Have you ever worked with a Fractional CFO client and you've told them exactly what they need to do to: 👉 Unlock their next level of success 👉 Help them achieve their goals 👉 Get big things done But they just won't take action?   Do you ever sit back and wonder "What are they scared of? Why won't they just do the thing that I'm telling them to do?!?" That's actually a pretty insightful question, because it turns out there are four fears that keep human beings from taking action. Those four fears are likely the reason your clients aren't taking action and not having the impact you know is possible. In today's episode of The CFO Report, I'm going to break down each of these four fears that are keeping your clients from taking action. And I'm going to give you some really specific ideas on ways that you can work with your clients to help them work through those actions so that they can ultimately have the success that you know is possible for them. _________________________ Interested in hiring MY firm to be your Fractional CFO?https://www.kfesolutions.com CHECK OUT MY FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - 😀 The 5 Minute Fractional CFO - Every week I share 1 actionable tip to help you start, scale, and optimize your CFO services (and you can read it in 5 minutes or less!) -https://cfo.thecfoaccelerator.com/newsletter MY FREE ONLINE COURSE:💰 CFO Sales Masterclass - My 8 Step Sales Framework for closing CFO clients https://cfo.thecfoaccelerator.com/sales MY FRACTIONAL CFO PROGRAMS:👉 The Inner Circle - Live training every month to help you scale your Fractional CFO firm - https://cfo.thecfoaccelerator.com/innercircle👉 The CFO Academy - My flagship course for quickly starting and scaling your CFO firm - https://cfo.thecfoaccelerator.com/academy  📚 Have clients that need bookkeeping?
