Jerome Myers: Transforming Business Exits into Purposeful New Beginnings

For entrepreneurs, exiting a business often marks the culmination of years of dedication and hard work. Yet, beneath the surface of financial success, many founders face what Jerome Myers calls the “Founder’s Exit Paradox”—a silent crisis characterized by identity loss, emotional uncertainty, and a lack of purpose after leaving their companies.

United States, 30th Dec 2024 – As the founder of Exit to Excellence and America’s Leading Exit Authority, Myers is revolutionizing how business leaders navigate this life-changing transition, turning exits into opportunities for personal growth and legacy building.

Redefining the Exit Process

Exit to Excellence offers a pioneering approach to exit planning that goes far beyond financial strategies. Myers and his team focus on the human side of exits, addressing the emotional and psychological complexities that are often overlooked in traditional exit planning.

“An exit isn’t just a transaction—it’s a transformation,” Myers explains. “We help founders navigate this critical life stage with clarity, confidence, and a focus on their personal values and long-term goals.”

Through programs like the N.E.X.T. Intensive and the NEO Navigator, Exit to Excellence equips founders with tools to prepare for life beyond their businesses. These frameworks guide clients through four essential phases: Nourish, Evaluate, Explore, and Transcend. The process ensures that entrepreneurs are not only financially prepared but also emotionally and psychologically ready to embrace their next chapter.

A Personal Connection to the Journey

Myers’ work is deeply rooted in his own experiences as a founder. After building a $20 million division for a Fortune 550 company and scaling a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio, he faced unexpected challenges when exiting his ventures.

“When I sold my business, I thought I’d feel nothing but relief and pride,” Myers recalls. “Instead, I felt unmoored, like I’d lost a part of myself. That experience showed me how little support exists for founders navigating the emotional side of exits.”

This realization inspired Myers to create Exit to Excellence, a consultancy dedicated to helping entrepreneurs avoid the regret and uncertainty that can follow a poorly planned transition.

Bridging the Gap Between Success and Fulfillment

Exit to Excellence stands apart for its focus on holistic legacy building. While many advisors concentrate solely on maximizing valuation and structuring deals, Myers emphasizes aligning financial success with personal values and long-term goals.

“It’s not just about leaving your business—it’s about building what comes next,” Myers says. “We help founders connect their financial achievements with a purpose-driven vision for the future.”

The consultancy’s proprietary 8 Exits of a Founder framework provides a comprehensive roadmap for every phase of the entrepreneurial journey. Whether scaling operations, preparing for a sale, or redefining identity post-exit, the framework ensures that every step is purposeful and aligned with the founder’s goals.

Transformative Tools and Thought Leadership

In addition to his consultancy work, Myers is a thought leader and educator in the exit planning space. His bestselling book, Your N.E.X.T.: A Guide to Finding Fulfillment After Your Exit, offers actionable strategies for navigating transitions with confidence. His top rated podcast, Your NEXT, explores the intersection of life transitions, personal growth, and legacy building.

As a sought-after speaker, Myers delivers keynotes and workshops for organizations like EO, YPO, and Vistage. His engaging presentations demystify the exit process and provide entrepreneurs with the tools to navigate this critical life stage successfully.

“My goal is to eliminate the silent suffering that so many founders experience,” Myers explains. “By addressing both the transactional and emotional aspects of exits, we help entrepreneurs create lives of purpose and impact.”

The Cost of Ignoring the Founder’s Exit Paradox

Statistics reveal the consequences of overlooking the emotional side of exits:

• 75% of founders regret their exit within the first year, often due to a lack of preparation for life beyond the business.
• Founders who fail to address their post-exit purpose risk stagnation, isolation, and strained relationships.
• Poor planning can lead to missed opportunities for personal growth and legacy building.

“At Exit to Excellence, we’re changing this narrative,” Myers says. “We empower founders to step into their next chapter with clarity and purpose, avoiding regret and unlocking their full potential.”
