Selling a business can be a dream come true. Yet, for many founders, it’s also the beginning of a hidden struggle—the “founder’s exit paradox.” Financial success collides with unexpected feelings of loss, an identity crisis, and a void left by the business that was once their life.
Jerome Myers: Your Guide to Post-Exit Fulfillment
Enter Jerome Myers, an award-winning engineer turned business strategist who’s dedicated to helping founders navigate this emotional and practical terrain. In this conversation, we delve into the paradox’s depths and equip you with actionable strategies to find fulfillment in your post-exit journey.
Facing the “Little Death” and Embracing New Beginnings:
Selling your business can feel like a loss—a “little death” of your identity. But as Jerome emphasizes, it’s also a powerful opportunity for rebirth. We explore ways to detach your worth from your work, cultivate new passions, and build a lasting legacy beyond the business.
The question isn’t, “What’s next?” But “what impact do you want to make?” Jerome challenges the notion of post-exit insignificance. You have the freedom, resources, and experience to create an even greater impact in the world. We discuss how to identify your “next intensive”—a meaningful project that aligns with your values and skills.
