Choosing an Exit Date/Start Date

The first step in leaving your current job to become your own boss is to choose an exit date or start date. This involves scheduling a specific month, day, and year to go all-in on your dream. By writing this date on a sticky note and placing it somewhere visible, you create a constant reminder and motivation to work towards your goal. It's important to take daily actions that bring you closer to that date, whether it's making calls, learning new skills, or seeking support.
