For months I was saying "I'll leave when my business makes enough." But I never actually defined enough. So I built a tracker that does it properly.
What came out the other side changed how I think about my business.
Here's what it calculated for me:
🤝 My TRUE employment value (salary + super + insurance + leave + safety net = the real number your business has to match, not just your take-home)
💵 My REAL business net (after expenses and tax, lower than I thought)
📊 THE GAP (the honest figure between where I am and where I need to be)
🎯 Three specific targets: Floor (bare minimum), Comfortable, and Confident
🧾 Exactly how many sales I need per month at my price point to hit each one
🤦🏼♀️ What list size I need to generate that
✅ A month-by-month timeline to get there
And then a one-page CEO Commitment page where I wrote it all down and made it real.
The number was scary. And also? A massive relief. Because now I know what I'm working toward. Not "more”, a specific figure, with a specific plan.
If you're building toward leaving your job, this is one of the most important pieces. It takes the "someday maybe" and turns it into a date and a number.
Any questions, let me know.
