Stop Fearing Your Finances with Danielle Hendon
Q: How did Danielle's own background influence her approach to Four Corners CFO and helping women founders?

Stop Fearing Your Finances with Danielle Hendon
Q: What were the blind spots you noticed for entrepreneurs when you first started working with them?
The biggest blind spots were around self-judgment of the numbers and underpricing, as well as not recognizing the true value of services. Many entrepreneurs fear or overlook the numbers, so we focus on reframing numbers as decision-support tools, not judgments, and on pricing that reflects value rather than just hours.
