Taking a risk instead of playing it safe
What started as a simple idea, helping CFOs in a very different way quickly turned into something real. I’m comfortable talking to people but setting up technology from scratch has never been my strength.
So deciding to host a webinar and then build a platform on Skool forced my inner perfectionist into overdrive. It was uncomfortable in Fridays webinar especially when my CFO based search in the Maldives didn't go to practice which felt messy in the moment :-( But the drive to help people mattered more than getting everything perfect.
I set myself one rule: the video had to be recorded in two takes. No endless retakes, no hiding behind edits. When I realised I’d used "words" instead of "characters" in one video, I fixed it in the edit and moved on. I even learnt it was easier than I thought.
Looking back at last week’s two webinars 30+ CFOs with clearer insight into what recruiting will look like in 2026, a growing community and real momentum it was worth every bit of discomfort.
In the weeks and months ahead, you’ll face choices that might feel risky. Playing it safe is tempting but safe rarely moves you forward. If it doesn’t, challenge it.
Thanks again for the support. And if you are sat there thinking, it feels overwhelming optimising your LI profile, just reach out please.
