Life After Enough - The Escape Plan

Every Sunday night, the same thought

You've been thinking about leaving law for years. Yet you still don't have a plan. It's time you did.

sound familiar?

LET'S BE HONEST

You're good at what you do. You earn more than most people will ever earn. But every Sunday night, the same thought:Is this it?You've thought about leaving. Maybe you've been thinking about it for years. You've Googled "career change from law" at midnight. You've done the mental maths in the shower - how long could I survive if I just quit? You've sat through another meeting you didn't need to be in, thinking about what you'd rather be doing with your life. You've told yourself you'll figure it out next year.But you haven't figured it out.Because you don't have a plan. You have a vague fantasy and a growing sense that the best years of your life are being spent solving other people's problems.So you do what most people in your position do. You stay. Not because you've decided to, but because leaving without a plan feels reckless, and you've seen what reckless looks like. Another year passes. The golden handcuffs get a little tighter. The Sunday dread gets a little heavier.There's a third option. Not staying miserable. Not quitting on impulse. But building the escape properly, while you still have the income and stability to do it.

Life After Enough - The Escape Plan

The Escape Plan

A structured programme for professionals who are ready to leave corporate work, but smart enough to do it with a plan.Eight sessions over 16 weeks. A small group of 4 - 6 people navigating the same transition. Fortnightly evening sessions, 90 minutes each.This is not financial planning. This is not career coaching. This is a structured process for building the plan you don't have, stress-tested against your financial situation, your relationships and your own delay tactics.

Learn how to escape to something, not from something

After 16 weeks, you'll have:

  • An honest diagnosis of why you want to leave and whether the problem is the career, your company, or you

  • A concrete vision of your post-corporate life that's survived the question "would I still want this if I wasn't exhausted?"

  • Evidence from a real experiment you ran during the programme. Actual data, not daydreams

  • A single number: what your designed life actually costs per month

  • A bridge strategy for closing the gap between what you have and what you need

  • A 90-day action plan with real dates and milestones

  • A community of people navigating the same path, who actually get it

Who is Escape Plan For?

This is for you if:

  • You've genuinely been thinking about leaving, not just venting about work

  • You have financial stability, even if you're nowhere near financial independence

  • You're willing to be honest about money, identity, fear, and what's holding you back

  • You want a plan. Not permission. Not a pep talk. A plan.

escape plan is not for everyone

This is not for you if:

  • You're looking for financial planning, investment advice, or a FIRE roadmap

  • You want to be told what to do rather than guided through figuring it out yourself

  • You're in financial crisis. This is about building a plan, not emergency rescue

  • You've already decided and just need help with logistics

I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to

Why me?

In 2016, I walked away from a corporate law career in London. No real plan. No real runway. Just a dream about building an adventure fitness company and a conviction that I'd figure it out.I became a personal trainer and mountain leader. I loved the work. I was good at it. I felt free, and that I had agency. But within two years, I was broke. Not "things are a bit tight" broke. Properly broke. The kind where you check your bank balance before buying lunch.The dream wasn't wrong. The execution was catastrophic. I hadn't tested the business before quitting. I hadn't adjusted my spending to match my new reality - I was living like a corporate lawyer but earning only £400 a month. I hadn't talked honestly to my partner about what this would actually look like. I hadn't built any kind of bridge between the life I was leaving and the life I wanted.I went back to law. Not because I'd failed, but because I finally understood what I should have done the first time. I went back with one purpose: build the financial foundation to leave properly.That was almost ten years ago. Since then, I've built a portfolio that means that work is now optional. I've spent years studying financial independence, not just the spreadsheets, but the psychology. The identity crisis that hits when you've built your whole life around a career you want to leave. The fear that you'll run out of money again. The way "one more year" becomes five. The conversations with your partner that you keep putting off.In June 2027, I'm leaving law for good. This time with the plan, the runway, and a business on the other side.I built the Escape Plan because it's what I wish had existed in 2016. It's not a financial roadmap, or a motivational speech. Rather, it's a structured process that would have forced me to be honest about my money, test my dream before detonating my career, and build a bridge instead of jumping off a cliff.Every session in this programme comes from something I learned the hard way. I'm not teaching theory. I'm handing you the plan I had to build for myself, so you don't have to learn these lessons the way I did.
