What UFC Training Can Teach You About Escaping Corporate

What can you learn from UFC training and leaving corporate?

Don’t make the same mistake I made when I left the 9-5 world

I did it alone

Sure my wife knew but that was it

I didn’t have anyone to bounce ideas off of or get feedback

Over time, I realized there is a large community of folks that are in the same boat

Eventually, I built what I now call my escape team

I modified legendary UFC fight Frank Shamrock’s training plan of Plus, Minus, Equal

The basic idea is to have someone on your team that is further along, at the same stage, and someone further behind on their journey

The Plus is further along in their journey and has the experience and wisdom you can learn from and make you better

The Minus is someone that is further behind you. You provide the wisdom but it is also a good reminder of what you need to focus on

The Equal is someone at the same stage, who completely understands and can share

This works for me but the important thing is to not do this alone. There is a strong network of folks that are truly supportive
