Season 1 Episode 251
In this coaching session, Adrienne Dorison and Emily Doyle sit down with Danielle Hendon, founder of 4 Corners CFO, to unpack a surprisingly common (and sneaky) bottleneck: too many leads. If you’ve ever thought “more leads = more money,” this episode might change your mind.
Danielle shares the real challenges of managing overwhelming demand as a solo CFO — and why growing her client roster wasn’t translating to growing her business. Together, they explore what it looks like to:
Get clear on capacity before hiring
Protect your most valuable skillsets
And rebuild around you — not just your offers
Whether you’re at capacity, nearing burnout, or unsure if you should grow your team, this episode is packed with strategic and mindset shifts to help you move forward confidently.
Here’s what we cover:
✅ Why “too many clients” is a real bottleneck
✅ The hidden costs of discounting financial services
✅ How to restructure your offers around value, not time
✅ When to grow your team (and when not to)
✅ Why sustainable scaling requires tough trade-offs
Not All Leads Are Good Leads – Growth isn’t always about more. Sometimes it’s about better.
Pricing Should Reflect Outcomes – Especially for expert services, time-based pricing leaves value on the table.
Redesign Around the Right Roles – You can’t hire until you know what you’re hiring for.
Avoid Scope Creep by Design – Define boundaries in your offers upfront — and stick to them.
Build a Business That Works for You – Design your business to support your life, not consume it.
