Quit Your Job or Nights-and-Weekends?

Decide whether to go all-in on your startup or build it nights-and-weekends — what the leap actually costs, what staying actually costs, and what would have to be true either way.

What you walk away with

A made decision — plus a shareable summary capturing what you chose, the reasoning behind it, what you ruled out, and what would make you revisit it. There's no document to build here: the thinking is the deliverable.

13 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01What are you building, and where does it stand — idea, prototype, early users? What's making the quit question feel urgent right now?
  2. 02What's your current job situation — role, income, how demanding it is — and does it leave real evenings-and-weekends energy, or are you already running on empty?
  3. 03What's your personal financial picture — savings, fixed obligations, people who depend on your income — and how many months could you cover at your current burn with no salary?

+ 10 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.
