Navigating Business Exit: Avoiding Regret and Securing Millions

In a recent episode of the Amazing Marketing Show, business exit strategist Jerome Myers discusses a topic that often goes undiscussed: post-exit regret. Despite being a monumental achievement, many entrepreneurs find themselves feeling empty and regretful after selling their business. In fact, according to Myers, 75% of entrepreneurs regret selling their business. Such regret often stems from issues like loneliness, an identity crisis, and burnout post-exit. In this insightful episode, Myers introduces the Exit Readiness Framework, a tool designed to help founders navigate their exit in a way that leaves them feeling satisfied and fulfilled. The framework emphasizes the importance of decoupling one's identity from their company and understanding the difference between a real legacy and merely chasing 'more'. Myers also challenges the traditional notion of success by arguing that freedom is more important than money. He encourages entrepreneurs to measure their success not just in terms of monetary gain, but also in terms of the freedom they achieve through their exit strategy. In addition to the Exit Readiness Framework, Myers also offers a free Exit Readiness Assessment, available on his website, exittoexcellence.com. He also encourages entrepreneurs to follow him on LinkedIn and Instagram, where he shares more resources and insights about successful business exits. For entrepreneurs looking to build a successful brand that dominates their niche, the Amazing Marketing Show offers a free guide and weekly insights. Subscribers can also get access to more real, raw, and strategic conversations about entrepreneurship, success mindset, scaling businesses, personal development, and more. In sum, this episode is a must-watch for any entrepreneur building something special. It offers valuable insights not just about the end game, but also about the journey to get there.
