DENVER, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Step by Step Exit, the only EOS^® Licensed Exit Readiness Solution, today announced its official licensing partnership with EOS Worldwide as the organization's dedicated exit readiness partner. The announcement coincides with the soft launch of Exit Ready: Rocks, Roles and Results That Power Your Exit Plan, a groundbreaking new book by Tyler Smith with Kelly J Carter, featuring a foreword and bonus chapter by EOS founder Gino Wickman.

The First Official EOS Exit Readiness Partner

Through this licensing agreement, Step by Step Exit will integrate seamlessly with EOS® to extend its framework into the domain of exit planning.
