TAKE THE FREE EXIT FREADINESS ASSESSMENTMy Story of Exiting Without Exiting
I was an unemployed schoolteacher in 2010 when I launched my first real business. Within a few years, we’d hit multi-seven figures and grabbed national attention from Inc, Entrepreneur, and the Nashville Business Journal for our growth and innovation.
But behind the scenes, I was drowning.
I was the hero of the business. Every fire, every client, every crisis—I had to fix it. I was successful, but I wasn’t free. If I stepped away, everything stopped. And that’s when it hit me...
I didn’t build a business. I built a trap.
So in 2017, I hired a coach and started the process of strategically disentangling myself from day-to-day operations. Over time, I developed what’s now called the XOS™ Method—a 7-stage roadmap to exit without exiting.
It worked. I went from being stuck in every decision… to being completely out of the weeds. I kept ownership. I kept the profits. But I got my life back.
Now I spend more time with my family, travel across the country on my motorcycle, and live on my terms. All while my businesses run without me.
Maybe you’re not into RVs or motorcycles. But I know you’ve got something in mind—something you’d love to do if your business didn’t require you every second.
So the real question is: what are you waiting for?
THE EXIT READINESS ASSESSMENT IS RIGHT HEREThere Are Three Main Ways to Exit a Business
Each has its own pros and cons. Depending on where you are in your journey, one might make more sense than the others.
The Earnout
Common in private equity deals, this option keeps you tied to the business long after the deal is done. You might get a payout later—if things go well. But for most entrepreneurs, this route means stress, uncertainty, and zero freedom. It’s rarely worth it.
The Sale
This is the traditional exit: sell the business, walk away with a lump sum. It sounds great on paper—until you realize you’ve lost the cash flow, the team, and all control. If you’re emotionally attached to the business or want to maximize value, this isn’t always the best first move.
Exit Without Exiting
This is what I teach. You stay the owner. You keep the cash flow. But you’re no longer involved in day-to-day operations. You build a self-sustaining machine that gives you time freedom now—and can be sold later for a premium because it runs without you.
The Bottom Line
The Exit Readiness Assessment is your first step. Whether your goal is to step back, sell outright, or just figure out your options—you’ll walk away with clarity. You’ll know exactly where your business stands and what needs to change so it no longer depends on you.
THE FREE EXIT READINESS ASSESSMENT IS RIGHT HERETESTMONIALS FROM MY CLIENTS
What’s the whole reason you started a business in the first place?
Freedom.
It’s crazy how many entrepreneurs trade their freedom for a bigger paycheck—and end up more trapped than ever. They leave the 9-to-5 thinking they’re chasing freedom, only to land in the 6-to-midnight grind with no end in sight. Even with more money coming in, the stress, burnout, and nonstop work isn’t sustainable.
Let’s be honest… We criticize 9-to-5 employees for needing permission to take a vacation—but most entrepreneurs I know haven’t taken one in years. One of my clients was working 100-hour weeks and wasn’t even paying himself. After just a few weeks working together, he restructured the business, started paying himself, and actually started enjoying the business again.
Another client was preparing to sell his company. He brought me in to tighten up operations, and we added over $1 million to the valuation—just by getting the systems dialed in. He sold for 8 figures. That’s what can happen when your business doesn’t revolve around you anymore.
I don’t believe business ownership is the goal—it’s the tool that funds a life worth living.
You didn’t start your business to work longer hours or carry more stress. You started it to create a better life—for you and your family.
That’s why I coach entrepreneurs like you to design businesses that serve your life, not consume it. I help founders reclaim 50% or more of their time, freeing them up to focus on growth, purpose, or simply being present with the people they love.
If you could start living the exit lifestyle now—without selling your company—what would stop us from building that future together?
