OFF BALANCE - Things I learnt in 20 Years as a CFO & CEO in startups.

About OFF BALANCE - Things I learnt in 20 Years as a CFO & CEO in startups.

In December of 2022 I released a list of 100 lessons I'd learnt the hard way operating as a CEO & CFO across multiple ventures from startups to scale ups to SME's. I had more than a million impressions on that post, thousands of comments and re-shares and many messages asking me to expand on these points. I'll be releasing a new episode every day for 100 days touching a little further on the headlines. Only a minute or two a day, and at the end you'll know my full list!

   061 - ZERO TO ONE OR ONE TO MANY

   People are great at zero to one, others at one to many. There are two types of people in business, people like founders, who are great at taking an idea and executing it, and then iterating on that till they find product market. They're great with that experimentation stage of a business where you are taking something that is pretty ephemeral, like an idea, and actually getting it out to customers and testing it out in the marketplace.

   060 - 1000 CRAZY IDEAS IS NOTHING

   Having a thousand batshit crazy ideas means nothing if you can't execute. I'm someone who loves the creative process. I love ideating. In fact on this podcast, I'm often told my, by my producer, to stop winging it because the reality is that execution means everything. Ideation is only important at the very earliest stage.

   059 - PRIVILEGE EXISTS

   Privilege exists. Recognize yours and check it. So without going into a huge amount of detail, I come from a massively privileged background. I went to the right schools, the right universities came from the right family and grew up in the right area. I have friends and family members who are well off, and I am very fortunate to have been able to travel the world and see things that many people haven't been able to.
