The Power of Bold Moves and Unexpected Results

This week at the Entrepreneurs’ Organization Strategy Summit, where I serve this year as Finance Chair, we’ve been discussing a core value that resonates deeply with me:
Think Big. Be Bold.
It’s more than a motto. It’s a mindset.
It’s about ambition. Courage. And taking action before you feel 100% ready.
Let me share a quick personal story.
From a Beach in France… to 12 Million Views
Last month, while in France, I was sitting at a beach club reflecting on my next business steps. Pure coincidence—Jeff Bezos walked by on his way to his boat.
I filmed the moment and posted it on Instagram with a short reflection on finding inspiration in unexpected places.
To my surprise…
That one video has now reached nearly 12 million views.
Until then, I hadn’t been actively publishing on Instagram. But on January 2nd, I had decided to start sharing daily business insights — I call them Daily Push — to help others grow, transition, or exit their businesses.
That one bold post boosted my account dramatically.
And last week, something unexpected happened:
An entrepreneur reached out to work with me as a coach and M&A advisor. When I asked how they found me, they said:
“I asked ChatGPT who could help me, and your name came up.”
Publishing content. A lucky break.
And suddenly, I’m recognized by AI as someone who can help entrepreneurs at key business moments.
This is what “Think Big, Be Bold” means in real life.
Take action, even if you’re unsure. You never know who’s watching—or what doors it might open.
