The Post-Exit Personality Assessment

Welcome to Dreamcatchers Digest,

Transitioning from a business you've built is a monumental shift. For many entrepreneurs, the business is an extension of their identity. Exiting it, whether through sale, succession, or other means, presents unique challenges and opportunities. In this context, the Post-Exit Personality Assessment becomes a vital tool.

It is a strategic framework for exiting entrepreneurs to navigate their new life phase with clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. This framework is based on the following six Centers of Doubt.

Redefining Self-Image Post-Exit

Entrepreneurship often merges personal and business identity. Post-exit, entrepreneurs may struggle with "Who am I without my business?" The Post-Exit Personality Assessment helps redefine self-image by clarifying core traits and uncovering strengths and passions. This is crucial for personal fulfillment and planning the next phase of life.

Navigating New Relationships

Business relationships are usually goal-oriented and transactional. Post-exit, they can shift dramatically. The assessment offers insights into engaging more meaningfully with others and fostering supportive and enriching connections. Understanding one's relational archetypes helps build deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

Reimagining Professional Contributions

Even after exiting a business, the entrepreneurial spirit persists. Exiting entrepreneurs often seek new ways to contribute, such as mentorship or investment. The assessment helps understand one's professional influence post-exit, highlighting how former leaders can leverage their skills for impactful contributions in different capacities.

Holistic Health and Well-being

Running a business can neglect health and well-being. Post-exit offers a chance to focus on holistic health—physical, mental, and emotional. The assessment guides entrepreneurs towards a balanced lifestyle aligned with their values and goals, emphasizing the integration of health practices for long-term well-being.

Prosperity Beyond Financial Success

In entrepreneurship, prosperity is often gauged by financial metrics. Post-exit, prosperity expands to include personal fulfillment, community contributions, and ethical wealth creation. The assessment encourages a perspective where wealth is shared and used to better communities and society.

Building a Lasting Legacy

Many entrepreneurs aim to leave a lasting impact post-exit. The assessment helps identify personal significance and ways to influence and inspire others. It provides a framework for building a legacy of empowerment, mentorship, and positive societal change, surpassing financial success.

I encourage you to take the assessment here . You'll be amazed by the depth and nuances of your unique personality revealed in the personalized report.

To life after business and beyond!

Top Advisor Marketing Podcast

Interview with Matt Halloran

1.? What inspired you to transition from being a business and life coach for top advisors to focusing on podcasting as a major aspect of your professional career??

I started in radio in high school, then did more radio in college.? I always wanted to be a radio person. Then Podcasting came and My partner and I realized advisors needed to change how they were marketing to follow proven content marketing strategies.? ProudMouth was Born!

2.? Given your extensive experience studying how people communicate, can you share a communication strategy that has been most effective in building trust with podcast audiences??

You have to be yourself.? We call it being your own loud.? You have to leave yourself out in all of your content, warts, and all.?

3.? Having hosted and participated in over 1000 podcasts, how have you seen the podcasting landscape change over the years, and what trends do you think will shape the future??

Video podcasting is the it thing now, but audio only still has its place. You will need to have a video component to your podcasts from here on out, which is a very different performance skill.

Seeing for yourself of who you are can give you the courage to work on what’s needed for a successful exit. - Matt Halloran
