The Unexpected Lesson My First Boss Taught Me At Deloitte

My first boss at Deloitte wasn’t your typical “corporate mentor.”

Yes, we worked hard.
Yes, we pulled long hours.
Yes, the stakes were high.

But there was one thing he always said that stuck with me:

“If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing.”

At the time, I didn’t fully get it.

I mean—this was Deloitte. We were leading complex initiatives, managing tight deadlines, and constantly under pressure.

But the way he ran our team changed everything.

We worked hard, but we also…

• Took on bold, creative projects
  

• Pushed boundaries that made the work feel exciting
  

• Laughed (a lot)
  

• Built real relationships, not just corporate alliances
  

It wasn’t just about hitting goals.

It was about building something meaningful—and enjoying the process.

We did cool stuff. And we had a blast doing it.

That mindset stuck with me.

But when I launched my fractional business… I lost sight of it.

Everything felt serious. Heavy. Like I had something to prove. I treated it like a job—not like something I owned.

Until I remembered his words:
If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing.

So I rebuilt my business.
I repositioned my value.
I created systems that gave me freedom—not more pressure.

And I started helping other fractionals do the same.

That’s why I wrote The Fractional Formula.
