90 Days to Independence: The Brutal Exit Roadmap

FounderModeFebruary 14, 2026

The 90-Day Sprint: Logic over Emotion

Quitting your job is an emotional decision, but success is a logistical one. Most people quit in a moment of rage and then spend the next 3 months "figuring it out" while their savings evaporate.

The 3-Gate Framework recommends a 90-day pre-exit sprint.

Day 1-30: The Build Phase

Your goal isn't to build a perfect product. It's to build an Offer.

  • Identify the ONE problem you solve for a specific client.
  • Create a "survival" landing page.
  • Log your current burn vs. your side-income goal.

Day 31-60: The Traffic Phase

Stop polishing your logo and start talking to humans.

  • Use your existing network in Singapore/Global.
  • Set up 10 "Research Calls" with potential customers.
  • Metric to watch: Cost of acquisition vs. Lifetime value.

Day 61-90: The Monetization Phase

This is the "Go/No-Go" gate.

  • Close your first pilot client.
  • The Magic Signal: When your side income exceeds 50% of your monthly burn for two consecutive months.

[!IMPORTANT] If you haven't earned a single dollar by Day 90, DO NOT QUIT. Your model is flawed or your market timing is off. It is better to stay employed and pivot than to quit and starve.
