The Second Wave Life:

Finding Purpose, Impact, and Fulfillment Post-Exit

The Second Wave Life: Finding Purpose, Impact, and Fulfillment Post-Exit is the highly anticipated sequel to Don’t Leave Life on the Table, the acclaimed first book by entrepreneur, exit planner, and M&A professional Andrew Williams.

While Don’t Leave Life on the Table introduced the importance of preparing personally for life after a business exit, The Second Wave Life takes that conversation deeper. At a time when hundreds of books focus on preparing a business for sale, this work continues to address the often-overlooked question of how entrepreneurs prepare themselves for what comes next.

In The Second Wave Life: Finding Purpose, Impact, and Fulfillment Post-Exit, Andrew explores the personal and professional questions faced by entrepreneurs and service firm partners as they approach and move beyond their exit. Building on the foundation of the Second Wave Process™, the book guides business owners through the realities of life beyond ownership, offering a framework to intentionally design the next chapter with purpose, meaning, and lasting fulfillment.
