SECTION 1: HOOK

Your Quit Trigger is met. You're still not quitting. That's the real problem.

You have the number. You have the savings. You have the clients. This module turns "I'm ready" into an actual date, a plan, and a conversation.

Step 1 → Set your EXIT Launch Day

Your EXIT Launch Day is the date you hand in your resignation. Not the date you stop working. The date you make it official.

Most people skip this step. They say "I'll quit when I feel ready." That day never comes. Feelings don't set dates. You do.

Here's how to pick your date:

Check your notice period. Most jobs require 2–4 weeks.
Count backwards from when you want to be free.
That's your EXIT Launch Day.

Write it somewhere you see every day. Your phone wallpaper. Your bathroom mirror. Your Notion dashboard. It doesn't matter where. It matters that you see it.
