Exit Rich...Retire Free

The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint: Exit Rich, Retire Free

Fully revised and updated for the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

There is a single day in most business owners' lives when more money moves than on any other. It is the day the business sells. Years of work collapse into a single wire transfer, and waiting at the other end is the IRS, ready to claim a substantial slice of everything the owner built. A poorly planned exit can hand the government a third of a lifetime's work in an afternoon. It does not have to be that way.

The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint is a complete guide to navigating the journey from business ownership to a fulfilling, stress-free retirement. Drawing on more than 30 years in financial planning and over 15 years spent helping owners exit profitably, Jeff Kikel combines practical strategies, real-world stories, and step-by-step exercises that show owners how to sell well and retire with confidence.

This second edition adds three new chapters built around the post-2025 tax landscape. The QSBS Playbook explains how one section of the tax code can shelter a substantial portion of a sale from federal tax, and why it rewards owners who plan early. 
Cost Segregation reveals an overlooked strategy hidden within an owner's building, now more powerful than it has been in years. 
The Tax-Free Exit Stack shows what happens when these tools stop being separate tactics and become a single coordinated plan that can transform what a sale means for an owner's family and legacy.



Inside, readers will find 

The 5-Step Exit Rich, Retire Free System for maximizing business value and securing a smooth transition, a stress-free retirement income strategy designed specifically for business owners, guidance on the emotional and practical realities of life after the sale, more than twenty checklists and exercises, and proven approaches to protecting wealth and passing it on. Owners will learn how to value a business properly, find the right buyer, structure a deal that protects their proceeds, and avoid the regret of selling without a plan for what comes next.

Most financial planners do not understand the business sales process. Most accountants understand the taxes but not the planning. Most attorneys handle the documents but not the bigger picture. Jeff Kikel writes from the rare vantage point of someone who has built businesses, sold them, and guided hundreds of owners through the same transition. Whether retirement is years away or the sale is already in sight, this book offers a clear roadmap through every stage of a successful exit.

The 5-Step System To Sell Your Business, Secure Lifetime Income, and Retire Without Regret (Second Edition 2026)

A Journey of Resilience, Betrayal, and Turning a Jamaican Idea into a Global Brand

Breadfruit & Becoming

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Hollywood Virgin has captured hearts, headlines, and high praise around the world-not just for its Hollywood insider revelations, but for its raw honesty, relatability, and universal truths about ambition, identity, success, and knowing when to walk away.&nbsp; From small-town Texas to Hollywood power tables, Jason Felts chronicles his meteoric rise through the cutthroat entertainment industry-creating films, shows, and music festivals, launching global brand campaigns, building a Virgin-branded entertainment empire, while rubbing elbows and butting heads with A-listers before walking away at the height of it all. Jason elegantly removes the concealer off the powerful, fake, and dishonest power players at the same time he equally shines light on the authentic, selfless, or lesser-known stories in Hollywood. This wildly entertaining and deeply honest book is packed with jaw-dropping celebrity encounters, untold industry stories, and hard-earned lessons on ambition, identity, and staying human in an industry that rewards anything but. Felts shares his rollercoaster ride of hustle and reinvention, revealing how he: <ul> <li>Launched the&nbsp;very first show&nbsp;to feature a Kardashian</li> <li>Became the&nbsp;youngest CEO&nbsp;(after mentor, Sir Richard Branson) to run a Virgin company</li> <li>Built and ran a multi-million-dollar global company for Virgin</li> <li>Worked and built relationships with Bradley Coooper, Courteney Cox, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Jessica &amp; Ashlee Simpson, Halle Berry, will.i.am, Oliver Stone and dozens more</li> <li>Came out publicly and helped found the PULSE foundation in the wake of tragedy</li> <li>Joined the Obamas on their first post-White House getaway-and received life-changing advice from the former President</li> </ul> And that's just the beginning. Hollywood Virgin&nbsp;is a story of ambition, fame, identity, burnout, reinvention-and learning that success isn't always what it seems. More than a behind-the-scenes memoir from the founder and CEO of Virgin's entertainment company, it's a bold, unfiltered crash course in how to make it, take it, lose it, and leave it all behind before it costs you everything. Raw, hilarious, and unflinchingly real, this book is for anyone chasing a dream, surviving a grind, or looking for the courage to rewrite their own script.

Always Rising is for women who have spent decades holding everything together, raising families, building businesses, supporting partners, while quietly disappearing from their own lives.
For 35 years, Anissa Renae Kunda worked behind the scenes of a pioneering Australian tourism business, shaping industry standards, building systems, and carrying invisible responsibility. The success bore someone else's name, and for a long time, that felt acceptable. Until it didn't.
This book is not a how-to manual or a glossy success story. It is a grounded, honest reflection on resilience, identity, and the quiet work of building something that lasts, without losing yourself in the process.
Through lived experience, storytelling, and practical insight, Always Rising speaks directly to women who feel essential yet unseen; capable yet uncertain; accomplished yet quietly asking, Is this all there is?
Inside these pages, you'll find:Stories of building a legacy from the shadows
Reflections on identity erosion, resilience, and self-trust
Gentle insight for women navigating reinvention, visibility, and second chapters
Reassurance that your contribution matters, and always has


Always Rising is a reminder that success isn't a destination, it's a series of small, brave decisions to keep showing up as yourself.
For the women who've carried more than anyone knows, this book offers recognition, clarity, and permission to rise in your own name, on your own terms.

How to Go from Underestimated to Unstoppable

Believe It

“An inspiring blueprint to overcome challenges—and thrive” (Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global), on how to turn other’s and your own doubt into rocket fuel to achieve your dreams, from entrepreneur, CEO, and healthcare investor Surbhi Sarna. The very qualities that make you an outlier are, in fact, your strengths. Or so Surbhi Sarna discovered after a teenage cancer scare inspired her to reimagine healthcare, founding a medical start-up to detect early ovarian cancer. In Without a Doubt, she shares how she proved the doubters wrong. As a young, brown woman without a medical degree or Ivy-league or Silicon Valley contacts—and who had felt different throughout her life—she was often overlooked and underrated. Undeterred, Sarna used the naysayers as ammunition to help her surpass expectations—and achieve her dreams. Without a Doubt is her powerful story of becoming a leader without an MBA, networking without a network, and raising funds when she didn't know a single venture capitalist, teaching you how to do the same. Sarna led an all-star team to develop a life-saving medical device, sold her business for $275 million, and became a partner at Y Combinator, one of the most successful venture firms in the world. Using her own experience, she shows you how to face setbacks, not let impossible standards get in the way, lead empathetically, empower others to think differently, and how to convince the right people to help you accomplish your goals. Without a Doubt reveals that your power lies in recognizing the qualities that make you different and leveraging them to pursue your dreams.

Without a Doubt

The Highway Home: A Memoir of Ambition, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Finding Your Way Back

What does success really cost?

The Highway Home is a powerful memoir about ambition, sacrifice, resilience, family, and the
hidden price of a successful corporate life. Moving between heavy manufacturing floors,
international airports, corporate apartments, midnight highways, and the glow of computer
monitors, this deeply personal journey explores what happens when professional success comes at
the cost of presence, memories, and time with the people who matter most.

For a generation of professionals whose lives are measured in flight schedules, international time
zones, business trips, and long stretches away from home, this book offers an honest look at the
brutal mathematics of career ambition. It follows the journey from demanding industrial
environments and challenging domestic markets to managing global operations across the Middle
East, Africa, and Europe.

Along the way, the author confronts the realities of corporate competition, including the destructive
"Crab Mentality" that can make professional growth even more difficult. Yet this is not simply a story
about climbing the corporate ladder. It is a story about surviving setbacks, navigating uncertainty,
leading through adversity, and rebuilding from the ground up.

Through memories of family, the loss of childhood experiences, a mother's missing gold bangles,
industrial grease, cascading lines of code, and countless journeys between destinations, The
Highway Home connects the personal and professional sides of a life shaped by relentless ambition.

Written across international departure gates, highways, and moments of solitude, this memoir
examines the emotional consequences of chasing financial security and professional recognition. It
asks difficult but important questions: How much are we willing to sacrifice for success? What
happens when achievement creates distance from the people we love? And when everything is
finally accomplished, where do we truly belong?

More than a corporate memoir or career retrospective, The Highway Home is a story of resilience,
leadership, family, sacrifice, personal transformation, and the search for meaningful success.

It is for professionals navigating demanding careers, entrepreneurs building their futures, leaders
facing setbacks, and anyone who has ever wondered whether the destination is worth the journey.

Because true success may not be defined by the number of countries visited, the prestige of a job
title, or the miles accumulated on a boarding pass.

Sometimes, success is simply finding your way home.

Grow Fast, Exit Big In Under 60 Months

Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, Technical University of Munich, language: English, abstract: The focus of this paper lies on answering the questions, what factors should be considered to successfully exist a venture with regard to exit timing and routing and how these strategic choices are interrelated.

The divestment process plays a critical role in the Venture Capital (VC) business model. Typically, a VC invested venture is not able to pay dividends prior to its exit as the business has not fully matured yet. Therefore, a Venture Capital Firm (VCF) generates virtually all of its income by realizing capital gains at the time of the venture¿s exit. This indicates that a VCF heavily depends on a successful divestment transaction - in most cases, a poor exit execution leads to an inferior return on investment which in turn can ruin the VCF¿s overall performance. A VCF therefore plans its exits carefully and evaluates its strategic choices. In this context, the two most important exit decision variables considered by a VCF are the choice of exit route and the choice of exit timing. By choosing the right exit route and pursuing good exit timing, a VCF can significantly increase its proceeds for a given venture. The primary focus of this paper lies on answering these aforementioned questions by drawing together the empirical research on these two dominant strategic exit choices.
