Frequently asked Questions (FAQs)
Who should take the NEO Assessment?
Founders and former operators who have already exited or are emotionally living in the post-exit question: “Who am I now?”
How is the NEO Assessment different from the Exit Readiness Assessment?
The Exit Readiness Assessment helps identify readiness before or during the exit. The NEO Assessment helps identify the identity, direction, and fulfillment patterns that emerge after the exit.
What does NEO stand for?
NEO stands for Newly Exited Operator: someone who has moved out of the operating role and is now facing the question of what comes next.
Is this only for people who sold their business?
Not necessarily. It can apply to founders who stepped away, transitioned leadership, moved into board chair, recapitalized, or entered a new phase where the old identity no longer fits.
Will the assessment tell me what to do next?
It will not hand you a generic life plan. It helps reveal the patterns, gaps, and tensions that should shape your next decisions.
Can I take this if I exited years ago?
Yes. Many founders still carry unresolved questions long after the transaction closes.
What kinds of results will I see?
You will gain insight into areas such as self-image, relationships, work, health, prosperity, and significance.
What if I do not feel “lost,” but I do feel restless?
Restlessness is often the first signal. The NEO Assessment can help determine whether that restlessness is curiosity, avoidance, grief, ambition, or lack of structure.
Should my advisor care about my NEO results?
Yes, especially if your advisor is helping you make decisions about wealth, legacy, philanthropy, investing, or your next venture.
What is the best next step after taking it?
Review your results, notice the patterns, and schedule a conversation if you want help translating the insights into direction.
