Breakthrough Groups: Your Secret Weapon for Succession Planning
A Breakthrough Group is a small circle of founders who meet monthly to help one another face hard questions, make wise decisions, and build something that lasts.
Recently, Mac, one of the members of our Succession Planning for Impact Breakthrough Group said something I keep rehearsing in my head.

“Now I am not working for a dollar. I am working for a dream!”
When we heard that, we thought, now this is exactly what I want for every founder who feels trapped in the day-to-day grind!
The Danger of Working for the Dollar
If all you are doing is chasing the next dollar, it is easy to postpone the hard work of building a business that can outlast you. Too often, the business does not make it to the next generation. Research often puts that number around 70%.
When you are working for a dream, you make different decisions. You plan further ahead. You think beyond yourself. Succession planning is not just about a transaction. It is about what happens to the business, the people, and the mission after you step back.
What is a Breakthrough Group?
Think of a Breakthrough Group as your personal “Board of Directors.” You may already have a board. But do they help you think deeply about who comes next, how to prepare them, and when to let go? This group does.
Sometimes you are too close to your own business to see the next step. A good group helps you ask better questions, see blind spots, and take the next step with clarity.
How a Breakthrough Group Transforms Your Succession:
You stop thinking alone: Other leaders help you see what you’ve missed and say out loud what you may have been avoiding.
You follow through: Monthly meetings create the kind of accountability that turns good intentions into action.
You get questions you wouldn’t normally get asked: Sometimes the right question changes everything.
You build relationships with people who understand the weight you carry: You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
Are you ready to stop Working for a dollar?
Joining a Breakthrough Group is not about sitting in another meeting. It is about getting honest input, practical help, and the courage to act.
It doesn’t cost you anything to start the conversation. And if a group is not the right fit for you, we will tell you. But if it is, it could change the future of your business.
