The Exit Plan: How to Build a Life Away From Home

Everyone tells you leaving is possible. Nobody tells you what it costs, and nobody tells you which country will actually let you stay.

By the last page you'll have written down three numbers, picked a door, and answered one honest question about whether you're going at all.

What's inside (18 pages):

✦ Your Exit Number — your cost of living divided by 0.6, because income that only matches your costs isn't leaving, it's relocating your job
✦ Your Runway — savings minus the real cost of getting out. Under three months means not yet.
✦ Your Client Count — the number that turns "build a business" into "find three people"
✦ Which visa door you can actually walk through — Thailand, Brazil, Dubai and the USA side by side, with what each one demands
✦ The difference between a savings test, an income test and an evidence test, and why it changes everything about what you build
✦ The one-off cost of leaving, line by line, including the 3× buffer almost nobody budgets for
✦ What month one actually costs — the bill after you land, which runs roughly double a normal month
✦ Three worked examples, start to finish, so you can see what a finished worksheet looks like
✦ The 70% exit trigger: when to hand in your notice and why waiting for 100% means never
✦ An 11-line worksheet to fill in and keep
✦ The three levers — and why almost everyone pulls them in the wrong order
✦ Five mistakes and what each one costs
✦ Your next 90 days, in three versions depending on whether your bottleneck is clients, runway or the visa
✦ A nine-point honest test: are you actually going, or do you just like thinking about it?

This is for you if: You've been saying you'll leave for over a year. You don't know what number would make it possible. You're tired of content that never gives you a figure.
