Jeff Kikel

Jeff Kikel is a business strategist, author, and entrepreneur who helps small business owners grow smarter, exit stronger, and retire on their own terms.

With over 30 years of experience in financial planning and entrepreneurship, Jeff has founded multiple successful companies and advised hundreds of business owners through every stage—from launch to legacy. He’s the author of more than a dozen books, including Memory Mastery for Entrepreneurs, The Business Owner’s Retirement Blueprint, and The Retirement Income Equation.

Jeff’s writing blends practical strategy with real-world experience—offering readers actionable tools, smart systems, and the occasional dad joke. His mission is to help entrepreneurs create profitable, sustainable businesses without burning out in the process.

He’s also the host of the Exit Rich...Retire Free podcast and founder of the Business Growth Project, a community and content hub built for entrepreneurs who are ready to think bigger, grow faster, and eventually walk away on their own terms.

When he’s not writing, coaching, or building his next venture, you’ll find Jeff cooking with his wife, experimenting with productivity hacks, or cheering on small business wins in his hometown of Cedar Park, Texas.
