What is Your Exit Plan?

What is your exit plan?

3 years ago I made the decision to exit corporate America

Did I have a plan? Nope but I knew I wasn’t going back

I figured it out as I went along, made a number of mistakes and moved forward

In hindsight, having an escape plan would have been helpful

You can’t plan for everything but you can definitely reduce the learning curve I had

The 4 things I encourage all wannabe escapees to consider:

1️⃣ Decide what you really want, not just with work but life

2️⃣ Take an inventory of your skills and expertise- focus on what energizes you

3️⃣ Pick one offering and one target segment, initially. Focus is critical to get started

4️⃣ Create momentum then you can pivot

This will help you put clarity around what you are driving towards.

Remember- if someone is paying you a salary then you have the skills and expertise to go solo!
