Do you have an exit strategy when starting a new project?
Starting with the end in mind can completely change how you play the game. It sets the rules from day one and gives you clarity on when it’s time to step away.
I’ve noticed founders fall into two camps:
– Those who just build and see where things go. No exit plan at all.
– Those who always have a clear exit in mind before they even start.
What’s your approach?
Personally, when I start a project, I commit to being in it for at least two years. At that two-year mark, I take a step back and evaluate:
– Am I still interested?
– Is it moving my financial goals forward?
– Has it made the impact on the problem I wanted to solve?
This way, I’m not making emotional, spur-of-the-moment decisions, but I still leave room to adapt.
What works for you? Do you plan the exit from the start or just let it unfold?👇
