Succession Planning Isn’t Just About the Payout

Thinking about selling your business someday?

Everyone loves the story where you build, sell, and walk away with a fat check.

Easy money, right?

Except… that’s not the story most owners actually live.

The real work—and real reward—comes from what you do before and after the sale.

Picking the right successor.

Knowing when “enough” is really enough.

And figuring out who you want to be after you hand over the keys.

I sat down with Abby Donnelly this week to talk through all the stuff most advisors skip.

Abby founded The Leadership and Legacy Group, and she’s coached hundreds of owners through the messy, high-stakes reality of exits and transitions.

Abby doesn’t sugarcoat it:

The right plan starts with clarity, not timing.

Culture matters as much as cash.

And your next chapter needs to be built with as much intention as your first.
