I sat down with Margo Crawford, founder and chair of Business Sherpa Group, who’s worked with hundreds of small and mid-sized companies—and done the hard work of building, scaling, and (critically) stepping back from her own business after 15+ years. If you’re an owner-operator stuck in every decision or feel guilty even thinking about succession, you’ll want Margo’s perspective.

We dig deep into what it takes to build real business value (hint: it’s not just revenue), set up leadership succession, and make sure your company and team thrive long after you hand over the reins. Whether you’re at $1M, $7M, or about to break eight figures, what got you here won’t get you “out.” This episode is for founders who want legacy, not just a payday.

🔑 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
  • Leadership succession needs to start early. Give yourself (and your team) years—not months—to get it right.
  • True business value = a company that runs without you. Revenue alone won’t cut it.
  • Fractional support lets you grow and stabilize, even before you can afford full-time roles.
  • Don’t chase someone else’s success metrics—define your own legacy and purpose outside the P&L.
  • Transparency builds trust: share the “why” behind your numbers, not just the outcome.
