[A.J. Lawrence @ajlawrence]

@jasonmlong seriously went through it all: the economy tanked, his business went under, his health fell apart, and he basically had to start all over.
His biggest lessons?
1️⃣ Pushing through the hard times matters just as much as dreaming big
2️⃣ A strong business needs real foundations, not just hustle
3️⃣ True leadership is about facing your breaking points and growing past them

Jason doesn’t sugarcoat the lows. He gets real about what it actually takes to bounce back, and why hitting reset can be the best thing for you as a founder.
This is stuff most entrepreneurs don’t talk about.

Couldn’t have said it better—stepping back as a founder is a journey filled with tough choices and personal growth. If you’re navigating those waters, don’t miss our episode with @margo_crawford.

[A.J. Lawrence @ajlawrence]

Letting go as a founder is hard. Trusting others, defining your own future role, and timing big hires… it’s real work. @margo_crawford's take on this process resonated because I’ve lived it.Transition isn’t a sudden leap but a series of intentional steps. If you’re an entrepreneur trying to figure out where you fit as your business grows, or you’re facing the stress of succession, know that you’re not alone. The best thing you can do is start now, one deliberate move at a time.

Why do so many entrepreneurs struggle to step back from their business—even after major growth?

This week, I sat down with @margo_crawford, founder of Business Sherpa Group who discussed that the key to sustainable growth isn’t just grit:
🗺️ Map your exit years in advance
✨ Find the right leaders before you reach burnout
🔍 Focus on building business value, not just revenue
🤝 Get support that actually 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 your stage

💡 Pro tip: Don’t wait for a crisis! Start succession and leadership planning NOW (not “someday”)—and get guidance from people who’ve walked the path.
