Quitting your job might sound like freedom, but without a plan, it can feel more like panic.

Too many aspiring entrepreneurs leap without preparation. They resign with excitement… and then face fear, financial pressure, and scattered thinking within weeks. The real power move isn’t just quitting — it’s quitting well.

That’s why I created a full step-by-step breakdown of what to do 6 months before you leave your 9–5, and you can now watch the full training on YouTube.

In this episode of Transformational Thursday, I walk through the exact timeline and monthly milestones you need to confidently leave your job without sacrificing stability.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the video:

• How to financially prepare for your exit (and avoid paycheck panic)
• When and how to validate your offer or income stream
• How to use the 6-month runway to build systems, clients, and confidence
• What to do in your final 30 days to ensure a smooth transition

This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a practical roadmap with tools, timelines, and real-world application — created specifically for side hustlers, early-stage entrepreneurs, and freedom-focused professionals.

Because freedom doesn’t come from quitting — it comes from how you prepare.

Whether you’re just starting to think about leaving your 9–5 or you're already a few months out, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to take your next step.

You don’t have to do this alone. You just need a plan.
