Description
What if stepping back from your business didn’t mean losing control—but gaining clarity?
In this episode, I talk with Margo Crawford, founder of Business Sherpa Group, about the five-year succession plan that helped her shift from CEO to Chair—and the deep mental work it took to let go without giving up.
You’ll learn:
When to start planning your exit (spoiler: not when you're ready to leave)
How to prepare your team to lead without you
Why most founder burnout is rooted in back-office friction
How to measure success in more than revenue
If you're overwhelmed by complexity or craving more freedom, this one’s worth a listen.
🎯 Listen now + explore what's next for your business. 👉 Chat with A.J.
