AccelerateGrowth45 Put the owner back in ownership. AG45 is the board-level firm for owners at every stage, from growth to exit. 25+ years. 1,000+ owners advised. 12+ countries.

Ready to unlock your full owner potential? Start with our free assessment. Just tap learn more. I grew up with an entrepreneurial father, I am an entrepreneur. I have learned as much from my triumphs as my failures. I have been a part of successful and failed businesses, and I have first hand experience of being defrauded as an investor in a relationship I trusted. This triggered a complete makeover in my personal and financial life. Through hardships, successes and failures, I have experienced and learned what it takes to achieve exponential growth. The goal of my consulting business is straightforward – to help business owners generate more profits quickly and effectively, but more importantly to align their business to their life. Wealth is not only financial. Wealth is your well being. This is what equates to true abundance. Your business will exponentially grow when you focus on the fundamentals. It expands when you align it with who you are and how you want to experience life. You can make all the money in the world, but if you are overwhelmed, miserable and not enjoying the results of your hard work, then I ask, “What the f…k is the point?” I challenge you to accelerate your growth and see where it takes you.

Domino’s and Chipotle both changed CEOs. One had months to prepare. The other had weeks.

Here’s why owners should care.

The news: On June 22, Domino’s announced CEO Russell Weiner would retire. Joe Jordan, a nearly 15-year Domino’s veteran who ran its U.S. business, took over Oct. 1. Weiner stayed on to advise him and the board. On Oct. 13, Domino’s reported its first quarter since the announcement. Earnings per share rose 12.7%, and sales at existing U.S. stores were nearly flat.

The contrast: In August 2024, Starbucks hired away Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol, and he started there less than four weeks later. Chipotle’s same-store sales fell 1.7% in 2025, and the stock is down about 20% over the past year.

Our read: Both companies promoted from within. What separated them was time. There’s no evidence the CEO change caused Chipotle’s slide, and Chipotle points to customers spending less. But a four-week handoff couldn’t have helped.

Your move: If you had to step away tomorrow, is there a plan? Is there a person? Would your next quarter hold?

When you’re ready to plan who takes over and how the handoff happens, that’s the work we do in Strategic Cadence and Leader Run. https://accelerategrowth45.com/programs.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social_post&utm_campaign=owners_read

Should I replace my team with AI?

Posts like this one make it sound easy. Cut 8 people. Save $24K a month. Zero drama.

Here's what it leaves out. AI can run tasks. It can't run your business. Someone still has to set the direction, make the hard calls and lead the people (and the tools). That someone is you.

The owners winning with AI already had leadership, systems and structure in place. AI made a good business faster. It didn't make the owner less needed.

Most owners aren't buying the hype either. 96% of small businesses that use AI regularly plan to keep or grow headcount over the next three months (Citizens Q4 2026 Business Pulse).

Tools don't equal ownership. AI can amplify a business. It can't own one.

If your revenue is high this year, I hate to tell you… revenue ≠ ownership.

A business can look great on paper and still run its owner into the ground. More sales, more clients, more hours, and somehow less freedom.

KeyBank surveyed 1,500 owners this fall. 51% say freedom and autonomy define success. A third are covering rising costs out of their own paycheck.

So here's the real scoreboard: could your business run a week without you?

Warren Buffett stepped down as Berkshire Hathaway chairman.

Here's why owners should care.

The news: On Sept 18, Buffett became chairman emeritus and stayed on the board. His son Howard, a Berkshire director since 1993, is the new chairman. Greg Abel, CEO since the start of 2026, keeps running the company.

In Buffett's words: "Greg runs the company; Howard will guard its culture and values – both worth more than anything on our balance sheet."

Our read: Running the business and guarding what it stands for are two different jobs. Buffett planned a person for each. Most owners haven't planned for either. A Chase survey found 70% of owners are in early-stage planning or have no formal succession plan.

Your move: Which of those jobs can only you do today? If the answer is both, your business can't run without you. Yet.

When you're ready to plan who runs it and who guards it, that's the work we do in Strategic Cadence and Leader Run: https://accelerategrowth45.com/programs.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social_post&utm_campaign=owners_read

Revenue is an important metric, but it isn't the only one that matters. I'd rather see a profitable business that gives its owner freedom than a larger business that's completely dependent on them. Build a business that supports your life, not one that consumes it. Size doesn't equal success.

Before you start planning next year, finish this one.

Not by trying to do everything, by deciding:

What needs to be finished?
What needs to be dropped?
What worked well enough to repeat?
What absolutely needs to change?

Q4 isn't just the final push. It's your chance to close the loops, learn from the year, and make sure you don't carry the wrong things into January.

Finish what matters. Learn from what happened. Decide what comes next.
