Every week I talk to someone who left corporate and immediately ran into a problem they could have avoided.
Not a money problem. A process problem.
They left too fast. Didn't document anything. Burned a reference they needed. Or left a gap in their network that took 6 months to close.
The math on when to leave? Most of you have it. Your savings, your side income, your runway — when you actually run the numbers, 85% of you are closer than you think.
The what to do before you leave? That's where people get tripped up.
So this week I want to share the top 5 from the Pre-Exit Checklist:
1. Document everything you built or own. If you created a process, a system, a client relationship — document it in your personal files before you lose access.
2. Have the relationship conversations before you announce. The colleagues who become referral sources and clients — they need to know you before they know you're leaving.
3. Request your LinkedIn recommendations while you're still employed. Nobody asks for a recommendation from someone who just quit.
4. Identify your replacement and make their success your legacy. This is how you leave remembered as an asset.
5. Review all your NDAs and non-competes. Know exactly what you can and can't take with you — including clients and contacts.
The full 27-step checklist is $37. It walks through everything organized by 90 days out, 30 days out, and your final week.

See you Thursday.
No victims. Just exit strategies.
