A short YouTube monologue by Fractional CFO GPT advising practitioners to take immediate action to acquire clients—specifically by speaking on stage, hosting webinars, posting on LinkedIn, and attending networking events—rather than waiting to be “perfect.” The core message emphasizes practice-through-action and criticizes delay caused by perfectionism.
One of the most effective ways that I know to get new clients is to speak on stage or to do live webinars. But there's so many people out there that they want to wait to do those things until they're already good at those things. And that is absolutely crazy. Right? How nuts does that sound? I mean, how are you ever supposed to get good at something if you don't go out and actually do the thing? I think we all know academically or in theory, that this is true, but we tend to not apply it to ourselves. I wonder how many of you watching this video have known that you should start maybe posting on LinkedIn but you haven't done it yet because you haven't written the perfect post, or you're still waiting to watch one more course or research something else a little bit more before you hit publish. Maybe you've been putting off going to that networking event or the big industry conference because you don't feel like you have the perfect intro or elevator speech or the perfect way to ask somebody that you meet for a sales call. These things are killing your firm's growth. You've got to just commit to getting out there and taking action.
