Every incredible CFO you've ever looked up to was once also a nervous novice taking on their first ever C-suite role...😬 Take Tom Fencl for example, he is an esteemed CFO with heaps of experience but when he first started, he said from a scale of 1-10 that he ranked -1, when it came to feeling ready👎 Of course, when it came to technical skill he was certainly qualified but mentally he was not prepared for the level of responsibility that the CFO role requires. So, if you are considering that next step and have the technical skill but are anxious about the next step, know that that it is normal and you shouldn't wait because you may never feel ready 🚀 🚨However, if you don't feel ready and need some industry experience/technical support you should look at joining our Future CFO course in partnership with GrowCFO, which has helped hundreds of finance leaders gain the confidence and accreditation to own their first Chief Financial Officer role - link in comments. #cfoready #futurecfo #cfos
