Stop Guessing Whether You Can Afford to Leave

You know you want out, but the gap between wanting freedom and being able to afford it is where most people get stuck. Without a clear picture of how much of your life still depends on the salary, exit planning becomes guesswork.

Whether you're in your 40s with time to build or already in your 50s and ready to move faster, the honest answer depends on what you have built outside the job. The best time to build it is while the salary is still paying, so that by the time you want out, corporate is optional rather than the only thing paying the bills.

The assessment scores you on seven areas, from Financial Clarity and Income Streams through to Identity Readiness and Health Foundation, and your result shows which one to work on first. Many executives spend decades climbing without ever scoring themselves on what it takes to climb down safely.

In five minutes you will see how close you are to being able to leave, and what to work on next.
