If you are quitting your job to start a business, you get handed the same advice everyone else gets: build an audience, find your niche, just start. None of it is wrong, but it comes in no particular order and none of it is built around you, so you are left guessing which part applies to your situation and which part can wait a year.
Answer a few questions and get a roadmap built around where you actually are, whether you have just been laid off, are still in a 9-to-5 job, or have been freelancing and want to stop trading hours for money.
It is free, and there is no account to create. Your roadmap opens the moment you finish, we email you a copy, and you can unsubscribe with one click.
Most advice is written as though every founder has the same money, the same time and the same foundation to build on. You do not. A sensible next step with 12 months of savings is a reckless one with 2. If a client has already paid you directly, you are much further along than the org chart ever let you feel. That is why the roadmap asks about your situation first, and why what comes back is a plan built for you.
You have time you did not ask for, and savings that shrink whether you use them well or not. Your roadmap works out how long you realistically have and points you at the one thing that can bring money in within that window, so you do not spend the months on the wrong work.
Your paycheck still comes in every month, which is your advantage and also the reason nothing ever starts. Your roadmap spells out the smallest thing you can test in the evenings and the signal that tells you it is safe to hand in your notice, so leaving becomes a decision you can plan.
You have proof and clients, and a limit you cannot solve by working more hours, because hours are what you sell. Your roadmap shows you what has to change about what you sell, and in what order, so your calendar stops capping your income.
Everything below is built from your 6 answers, so you get the version for a founder standing where you are.
It shows what belongs in each 3 month block of your first year, and in what order.
These are the moves that get you from where you are now to a business that pays you, arranged around your situation.
Your whole first year sits on one visual track, so you can see what is coming without holding it in your head.
They come from where these transitions usually go wrong, including the mistakes that feel productive at the time.
The entire roadmap fits on a single page you can keep where you work.
It is free, with no account to create, nothing to cancel and no card anywhere in the process.
Knowing the order does not get you through them on its own, and both roadblocks cost you while you sit at them. Every month stuck is a month of savings gone and a quarter of the plan lost, and the founders who get past them rarely do it by trying harder on their own.
There are 2 or 3 directions that all look plausible, none of them feels certain, and thinking about it for another month has never once settled it. What settles it is a method and a test, applied in one sitting alongside other founders doing the same thing.
Seeing the moves and making them well are 2 different things. On your own, you learn by trial and error with real money and real months on the line, and no one tells you the price is too low or the offer is too vague until the market has already said no. Plan A is hands-on help building a solo business that works, from a founder who has done it twice.
It replaces the guessing. Instead of a pile of advice in no particular order, you get one path laid out across 12 months, shaped by where you are starting from, so you can see what belongs in this quarter and what can wait for the next one. Mostly, it means you no longer have to hold all of it in your head at once.
Because doing things in the wrong order can cost you months, and months are the one thing you cannot get back. Founders rarely fail because they picked a bad idea. More often they spend the first half of the year on work that only pays off later, and the money runs out before the part that earns.
No. One of the 6 questions asks whether you have one, and if you do not, your roadmap takes a different route from a founder who has already picked. We built this for founders without an idea too, and the first quarter of your roadmap is about finding one.
Then you are already somewhere on the path, and the roadmap will be even more useful to you. Freelancers in particular tend to be far along on one part and behind on another, and seeing that laid out is usually what gets things moving again.
About 90 seconds. There are 6 questions, all multiple choice.
The roadmap is free and complete on its own. You will hear about a free live workshop and a paid program that some founders go on to apply for, and you do not need either to get value out of your roadmap. If all you ever take is the roadmap, that is a perfectly good outcome.
We use it to send you your roadmap and to keep in touch about building a solo business. We never sell or share it, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
Plenty of founders who end up back in a job had the ability. They spent their first 6 months on work that could have waited, the savings ran out before anything started paying, and they never found out whether the idea was any good. Knowing the right order is the cheapest advantage you can get.
