@markrickert
A Quitter?
How do I quit my job to achieve
the lifestyle I want?
@markrickert
Make a Plan:
Hope is not a plan
& a goal without a plan
is just a wish.
@markrickert
A SMART Plan:Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time-specific
I will quit my job and consult full time.
I will do this when I am making $X a
month.
NOT: I will quit and start making
$1MM/yr
NOT: I will quit tomorrow
I will do this within 6 months.
@markrickert
My Plan:
I want to travel the USA in a converted van full time and skydive.(Specific)
I’m going to do this when I’m billing 10+ hours a week on the side and have my emergency fund at $20,000. I will continue to stay debt-free. (Measurable/Achievable)
I’m going to leave my apartment in 3 months to go out on the road. (Realistic/Time-specific)
