Step 4: Work Your Plan


As Nike has so eloquently stated for years, now it is time to "Just Do It".  Stop complaining about your job, stop talking about your manager and co-workers, stop wasting time worrying about your numbers, and start working the plan your created to get off the pharm.  Think of it as your new hobby, a new part-time gig, if you will.  When you are not working (or spending time with your family) you need to be working your plan (i.e. implementing your exit strategy).  And, by all means, please be careful and discrete.  Do not neglect your current job responsibilities.  The last thing you need is a RED flag that brings attention to the fact that you are planning your exit.  For example, if you have decided to start your own company it might not be the best idea to add it your LinkedIn profile just yet.  Or if you are looking for another job, please be careful who you ask to be a reference for you.  As you work your plan you may have to utilize many resources: the internet, resume writers, career counselors, headhunters/recruiters, mentors, etc.  Please know that the team at Get Off the Pharm is here to help in any way that we can.  It is our goal to see you get off the pharm as quickly and safely as you can.  Please let us know how we can help.
