I Want Out: 7 Steps to Escape the 9-5: A Realistic Path to Financial Independence - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Have you ever dreamed about quitting your job, but assumed it wasn’t realistic?

Learn the 7 practical steps to financial independence, building side hustles, and escaping the 9-5.

It’s Sunday evening. The weekend already feels like a blur and Monday is just around the corner. That quiet question returns. Is this really what I want the next 20 or 30 years to look like?

That doesn’t mean you hate work. You’re not lazy. You’re simply aware that there might be another way.

I Want Out is not a book about quitting your job overnight, chasing unrealistic dreams, or gambling your security on a risky idea. It is a practical, honest roadmap for people who want to gradually build independence without burning bridges or relying on a fluke result.

Craig Priestley spent years building income streams alongside a full-time career before walking away from traditional employment in 2023. In this book, he shares the mindset shifts, experiments, lessons, and decisions that made that transition possible.

This is the framework behind that journey.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to reframe your relationship with work
• The mindset shift that unlocks new income opportunities
• How to identify realistic side hustles without needing a perfect idea
• How to test and validate income streams safely while employed
• Why most people quit too early - and how to avoid it
• How to build momentum without burnout
• How to recognise the financial and emotional signals you’re ready to leave
• What life looks like on the other side, including structure, financial awareness, and navigating uncertainty

Most importantly, this book shows that escaping dependency on a single employer is not reserved for extraordinary people, huge risk-takers, or those with existing wealth.

It can be built slowly. Imperfectly. Realistically.

Whether you are feeling stuck, curious, or already taking small steps toward something different, this book will help you understand what the path can look like, and how to walk it in your own way.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need enough curiosity to begin.
