Life After Exiting Your Business: Take Clients Deeper to Design their Next Chapter of Meaning, Purpose, and Joy
Statistics show that an astounding 75% of business owners report feeling profound regret after selling their business, and it’s not because of the financial deal. (source: PWC 2023) Are you and your clients ready for life after a successful business exit? Clients face the same questions that you will eventually face: What will I do when I stop working and get back 40 hours a week (or more)? How will I stay relevant? What will my identity be without my title and business? The time to plan for the next phase in life is right now. You have an opportunity to give clients more personal preparation, so they stay out of that category and refer others to you for exit help. Planning now for the significant life transition that is coming, helps clients avoid feelings of regret and unhappiness, and averts the sense of depression felt by a reported 1/3 of retirees in the first two years of their retirement. (source: Harvard Medical School) Using a proven process, we take clients from uncertainty and avoidance of retirement to excitement and readiness, with their own personalized plan for a life of meaning, fulfillment, joy, and connection. Learn how to help your clients plan now for the change that is going to come and move into the next chapter with ease and success.
