Wells of Joy Ministries 

Wells of Joy exists to glorify God in the service of the families of the Lunga Lunga slums in Nairobi, Kenya. Our primary means of service is to provide a Christ-centered, high-quality education for children aged infant to 8th grade. We aim to offer a safe environment where these children can be fed, educated, discipled, and given the tools to escape the perils of their surroundings. 

I have been a long time supporter of this ministry and have visited them multiple times. In 2019, I was asked to assume the role of Chairman of the Board for their US operation.  It is amazing to me how much can be done for so little. This ministry feeds and educates 300+ children for ~$30/child. 

At Wells of Joy, we seek to address the spiritual and educational needs of the community by using our facility as a church and a school.

Ministering to people who live in the slum is unlike any other ministry. Life in the slum is a daily struggle with utter poverty and its degrading and dehumanizing impact. Because the most basic needs for life are so scarce many parents struggle to provide for their families while sheltering them from the negative influences surrounding them.

We believe lives can be changed by offering hope, support, and encouragement through education.

HOW WE SERVE:
-Christian Education
-Two daily meals (during the week)
-Discipleship
-Hope for the future

Naomi's Village

At Naomi’s Village we believe that a lasting solution to the orphan crisis must come from within Kenya. Our vision is to raise our children to one day be part of the answer to the cries of their peers. In doing so we hope to raise the leaders of tomorrow, who will go and multiply the redemptive work of God in Kenya.

HERE'S MY BACKSTORY:
After surviving the Internet boom of the 90s, in 2000, I started WebDex Media Group, an Internet marketing consultancy, to help companies leverage the web to grow sales. 

In 2010, I sold WebDex to Splash Media. While there, I developed the tactical wheel, which has become a standard for training & implementing social media marketing.  

In 2012 I wrote Social Rules! which is available at bookstores today. (Ping me for a free ebook version). In the fall of 2020, I started writing Social Selling Rules! which will help sales teams maximize their online exposure and results for finding leads and moving prospects through the sales funnel.  

Now my focus is to take my 20+ years of experience and pour into companies, ensuring their B2B Digital marketing efforts are aligned with corporate objectives and optimized for results.

Most B2B teams have no idea how to make their business show up in Google AI answers, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini.

So we built an AI Visibility Cheat Sheet to help teams take some practical steps forward.

AEO really comes down to three things:
→ Can AI clearly understand what you do?
→ Can it retrieve your content as the answer?
→ Does it trust you enough to cite you?

This cheat sheet is built for teams who:
• Have seen traffic dropping in search
• Aren't showing up in AI results
• Don't know what AI-friendly content really means.
• Looking for practical steps to take

Inside the cheat sheet, we walk through:
• The signals AI looks for before it cites a brand
• The structural blind spots we see most often
• How to pressure test your content through an AEO lens
• What to focus on first   

It’s a 14-page comprehensive resource that gives you real practical steps to get started. 

We’ve been using this internally and with clients and seeing some great results. 

I'm happy to share it with you. 
Run it against your site.
See what stands out.
Take action.

Most B2Bs have a plumbing problem. 

This keeps showing up in the annual planning meetings I've attended lately.

They think it's a lead problem, but in reality, they don't have a clear & visible path for buyers to move from:

contact → hand raiser → opportunity → customer → growth

They try to solve this by cramming more leads into a clogged system, and end up with a backed-up sink, just like I do every holiday season.  

More leads won’t fix pipeline problems, just like more food won't clear the drain. 

But, we have to know where the clog is, since we can't fix what we can't see. 

So, as you think about 2026, don't just ask, "how do we get more leads?" 

Also, ask things like: 
-Where do opportunities stall?
-What buyer signals are we blind to?
-What part of the buyer journey feels like a black box?
-Where does friction show up between Marketing & Sales?

This will give you visibility into where they're losing the leads you already have. 
It’s not glamorous.
It's plumbing. 

But plumbing is what makes flow possible (in your kitchen and pipeline).

I help fractional CFOs and accountants build multiple 6 and 7-figure advisory firms through coaching and community.

I started building my Fractional CFO firm, KFE Solutions, 8+ years ago.

On my journey, I looked for a mentor that could show me how to build a firm that right way.

I looked for a community of other impact-drive Fractional CFOs that could support me and encourage me.

I couldn't find either.

I ended up making massive mistakes that ended up severely slowing my growth and costing me hundreds of thousands in lost profits.

Today, I have a firm and a team that I'm proud of. I've made it my mission to help firm owners that are coming after me avoid the mistakes I made so they can build the firm of their dreams faster.

That's why I built The CFO Accelerator.

Since launching, I've had the privilege of mentoring THOUSANDS of firm owners through our Inner Circle community, our flagship course called The CFO Academy, our annual conference called The CFO Accelerator LIVE, and our podcast and YouTube channels.  

If you're trying to scale your firm and your impact, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Let's get to work. Together.

I help fractional CFOs and accountants start, scale, and optimize their advisory services.

What does it take to add $1M in new annual recurring revenue to a Fractional CFO firm in 12 months?

My firm has had another wild year this year when it comes to client acquisition and growth - adding over $1M in new recurring revenue to the top line through November.

We've learned a lot of lessons about sales and lead gen along the way. 

I'm getting ready to create a bunch of free content that we'll release in early 2026 about this but I'm curious: 

👉 What questions would you like me to answer about prospecting and sales in my content? 

Please drop them below so I can try to get them into a YouTube episode or a newsletter! 

👇👇👇

📌 PS - As a thank you, I'll have my ChatGPT randomly pick one person who posts a question (or questions!) below to win 3 months of access to my Inner Circle program absolutely free.

I help Fractional CFOs start and scale their firms.

Once your Fractional CFO firm hits $500k to $750k in revenue, where do you go from there? 

It's interesting because at this stage, 
It's no long about proving you can BUILD a firm. 
It's about proving you can SCALE a Fractional CFO firm.

In a lot of ways, everything has to change.

The strategies. 
The standards.
The conversations. 

That's why I created The Elite Mastermind.

It's for Fractional CFO firm owners that have hit the $500k revenue mark and want to blow past 7-figures in 2026. 

We just opened applications for our 2026 cohort. 

👉 DM me for details. 

📌 This is becoming THE PLACE Fractional CFO firm owners come to hit 7- and multiple 7-figures. I'd love to tell you why.

The amount of metrics a Fractional CFO COULD be monitoring as they scale from $100k to $500k can be dizzying.... 

Leads
Discovery calls
Sales calls 
Proposals sent
New clients
Revenue
Gross Profit
Net Profit
Time to value for clients
Client lifetime 
Revenue/profit/cash generated for clients

If you could only pick THREE to monitor, what would they be and why? 
Did I forget any? 

Let me know!

You can't avoid objections when selling Fractional CFO services. But how you respond will make all the difference. Here's what works best... 

Even with an airtight sales framework, getting objections from time to time is pretty much inevitable. 

→ Now isn't the right time
→ I need to talk to my business partner
→ Your pricing is much higher than I expected
→ I think we need someone with more hair on their head

And yes, I agree:
Sales objections due to hair challenges feels like it should qualify as discrimination. 

Sadly, I don't believe it does. 

I've been selling Fractional CFO services for nearly a decade now and I've been on hundreds of sales meetings. 

I can tell you that objections are inevitable. 

Just like everything else in business, you need a plan for how you'll handle those objections or else you end up floundering around and looking silly. 

👉 Yesterday, I shared a free guide with my top 3 frameworks for overcoming sales objections.
