In this first episode of the revival of Making Your Business Less Dependent on You, Malcolm Palmer - founder of A4G and author of Accidental Millionaires and Making Your Business Less Dependent on You - shares what it felt like to step back as managing partner of A4G after 30 years.
Malcolm talks openly about:
The moment he realised his firm could run without him
Why he didn’t sell to private equity (and what that decision means for his team)
The letter-with-no-form incident that started his obsession with systems
How The E-Myth Revisited changed the way he thought about business
And how his fictional Bright family came to represent real clients and lessons from decades of helping owners grow and let go
This isn’t just about Malcolm’s story. It’s about yours.Because every business owner eventually faces the same question: Can my business thrive without me?
