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 in this community because 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.
