You need to start putting your superpowers to use…
Thank you for filling in the quiz! According to the answers you picked, you need to start planning your 9-5 escape.
You want out, and you want it now. You are ready to make a change and start taking action to make it happen. But, you need some guidance on how to start off. We know exactly how it feels. We’ve been there too and we managed to get out, so we know you can too!
Here’s a secret we’ve learned. The most important thing is to keep a positive mindset, believe in yourself, and take action, the rest is just technicalities..
Here are 3 essential steps for you to start:
Step 1. Create your Freedom Vision Board
The first thing you need to do is get clarity around where you want to go. Creating your freedom vision board is essential for starting your 9-5 escape. If you don’t know where you are going, you will never be able to figure out how to get there.
Your Freedom Vision Board covers a variety of aspects of your life and the way you want to have them. Making this concrete for yourself and creating a visual to look at will help you get the motivation you need to start taking action. Your Freedom Vision Board will draw you to take action.

Step 2. Start acting like your future self
Something that we often see our clients go through is that they think they are limited to who they are today. They know what they are capable of and what they are not, and they think that this is where it ends.
While we’re totally for focusing on your strengths (see step 3), we do believe that you can grow and become someone that you are not today. Just think about it for a moment. Are you the same person that you were 5 years ago? You’ve grown and changed since then, both physically and mentally!
Think of who your future self is – the Freedom Vision Board is really useful for that! Once you know that, ask yourself: what do they do on a daily basis? What do they spend their time on and which activities do they avoid?
Now start acting like your future self!
Step 3. Reflect on your unique superpowers
You are unique as a person and so is the value you can create. Knowing and sharing your strengths and motivations with the world will help you to create a valuable offering that is unique to you.
People are not necessarily looking for brands with huge reputations. Instead, they are looking for someone that is relatable and has been in a similar situation to them. Someone that is not too far ahead of them and still remembers what it’s like to be them.
Use your skills to make your business run efficiently. Turn your knowledge into valuable products. Make sure you know and leverage your gifts.
“Who are the entrepreneurs behind all these tips?” Glad you asked…
Hey there! We’re Anastasia and Tomer, faces behind the blog GenerationNomads.com and creators of the program The 9-5 Escape Plan. No matter how far you’re down the path to turning your idea into profits, we’re here to help!
Friend, your entrepreneurial dreams can 100% be a reality – but, let us tell you, it’s so easy to get discouraged when you’re starting out.
How do we know? Well, we’ve been there, too.
After working in corporate innovation for several years, we realized that no matter how many startups we mentor or how many projects we complete, we wont find fulfillment until we do our own thing! We decided to quit our well-paying jobs and buy a one-way ticket to South East Asia. Enjoying the flexibility of the nomadic life, we started working on our own business ideas. At first, we thought it’d be a walk in the park… BUT it turned out there were a whole lot of unexpected roadblocks.
With time and dedication, we were able to launch our coaching program The 9-5 Escape Plan. We have helped 20+ aspiring entrepreneurs to launch business ideas where freedom is the priority. Now it’s your turn to create the lifestyle and business you’re passionate about!

“I went from feeling stuck on a conventional path that felt totally out of alignment with who I was to taking my dreams seriously and building enough confidence to pursue a business idea that I’m passionate about and which is already helping me to lead a life where freedom is the priority.”
– Mike P., The 9-5 Escape Plan alumni
We know how it is. We’ve been there too.
You have ideas, but you’re not sure which one to pick. Which one has potential? Which idea will allow you to live your freedom lifestyle? You end up doing nothing, hoping for something to happen rather than making it happen.
