Quitting your 9–5 to pursue your business full-time is a bold move, but leaping without clarity can cost you more than a paycheck. It can cost you your peace of mind, your momentum, and in some cases, your dream.

That’s why understanding whether your business is truly “paycheck ready” is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your path to freedom.

So what does it mean to be paycheque-ready?

In a recent Transformational Thursday session, I broke down the 5 essential signs that show you’re in the right place to confidently exit your job. You can catch the full replay now on YouTube → Watch it here

Here’s a quick preview of what we covered:

✅ Predictable Business Income – You’ve earned at least 70–100% of your job income consistently over the past 3–6 months.

✅ Recurring and Systemized Revenue – Your income isn’t just from one-off wins or launches. It’s coming from systems and repeatable sources.

✅ Forecast Confidence – You can confidently project your next 90 days of revenue by reviewing your recent trends and performance.

✅ Strategic Planning – You’ve moved beyond hustle into intentional planning, with offers, pricing, and delivery aligned.

✅ Freedom Number Awareness – You know exactly what it takes to cover your personal and business expenses, with a buffer.

The decision to quit isn’t just emotional. It’s financial, operational, and deeply strategic. And when you know you’re ready, you get to leave with confidence, not chaos.
