Listener note: This episode was originally recorded as The Podgress Report, now The New Ambition. We haven't edited the fantastic original content, so please enjoy and share. Stay tuned for more from The New Ambition. 

In this edition of The New Ambitiont, host Jen Phillips is joined by Meredith Nicklas, CEO, The CFO Solution. This episode is for you if you've ever thought..."I want to spend more of my time at work doing the work that energizes me". It's a masterclass in "helpability". Meredith has a fantastic way of finding the people, resources, and partners in her community to support her career development. 

Meredith is a former CFO and long time finance leader. As the CEO of the CFO Solution, she's taken her skills and passion for partnering with business owners to identify their financial trends, and guiding them towards their goals in a fractional capacity. 

Meredith's shift into solopreneurism after a successful executive stint in corporate finance began with unexpected change. It proves you can successfully begin your "what's next" from your "right now". Meredith's approach to planning and ramping into entrepreneurship is powerful and helped her de-risk her leap. 

In this episode, we talk about embracing the power of "I don't know, but I'll find out", and keeping your cheerleaders close, while muting or muffling your detractors.

99.9% of American businesses are small businesses, and 43% of those are women-owned. I love shining a spotlight on Meredith's endeavor, her decision-making process, and how absolutely incredible it feels to launch.
