VCFO Deep Dive: Beyond HGTV Success featuring Traci Barrett

“After almost 20 years of doing that nonstop, I started to lose myself a little bit. I started to wonder, is this what I want to do for the next chapter of my life? Is there something else out there for me? When I looked around in corporate America, what I realized and what I saw was that there were a lot of people like me. I really wanted to get off autopilot. I felt like nobody in my life was getting the best part of me.” – Traci Barrett  The finer details of this episode:Review and analysis of The Root of All Success with The Real Jason Duncan’s Beyond HGTV Success Featuring Traci BarrettEmphasis on the unique thought of the episodeExploration of success and life transitionsImportance of identifying the right client fit and company cultureImpact of generosity on business relationships and company cultureTransformational impact of Traci's strategic life mapping processAppreciation for diverse perspectives on success from Jason Duncan's podcast Episode resources:Summit Virtual CFO by Anders website: https://www.summitcpa.net/Love our content?
