Have you ever dreamed about quitting your job, but assumed it wasn't realistic?
That doesn't mean you hate work. You're not lazy. You're simply aware that there might be another way.

I Want Out is not a book about quitting your job overnight, chasing unrealistic dreams, or gambling your security on a risky idea. It is a practical, honest roadmap for people who want to gradually build independence without burning bridges or relying on a fluke result.

Craig Priestley spent years building income streams alongside a full-time career before walking away from traditional employment in 2023. In this book, he shares the mindset shifts, experiments, lessons, and decisions that made that transition possible.

This is the framework behind that journey.

Inside, you'll learn:How to reframe your relationship with work
The mindset shift that unlocks new income opportunities
How to identify realistic side hustles without needing a perfect idea
How to test and validate income streams safely while employed
Why most people quit too early - and how to avoid it
How to build momentum without burnout
How to recognise the financial and emotional signals you're ready to leave
What life looks like on the other side, including structure, financial awareness, and navigating uncertainty



Most importantly, this book shows that escaping dependency on a single employer is not reserved for extraordinary people, huge risk-takers, or those with existing wealth.

It can be built slowly. Imperfectly. Realistically.

Whether you are feeling stuck, curious, or already taking small steps toward something different, this book will help you understand what the path can look like, and how to walk it in your own way.

You don't need to have everything figured out. You just need enough curiosity to begin.

7 Steps to Escape the 9-5: A Realistic Path to Financial Independence

I Want Out

Rescission is the principal mechanism by which voluntarily assumed obligations and transactions are unwound. It is important to a range of commercial and non-commercial transactions and is raised regularly before courts at all levels. Despite this prevalence, the law on rescission remains poorly understood and riddled with controversies. Issues in the Law of Rescission brings together leading academics to tackle some of the most challenging and pressing issues facing the law of rescission. Across 11 chapters, it addresses theoretical issues, such as the proper structure of rescission, the justification for powers to rescind, and rescission's relationship to the law of unjust enrichment. The various chapters also offer guidance on specific doctrinal issues, ranging from the grounds of rescission to practical difficulties in establishing the grounds, bars to rescission, rescission in the context of corporate transacting, fiduciary relationships, and gift-giving, and the proprietary consequences of rescission. The chapters carefully set out the existing law, critique difficult decisions, and chart a path forward, offering guidance on how future disputes should be resolved. With fresh and compelling arguments for what the law is and how open questions ought to be resolved, Issues in the Law of Rescission will form an essential part of any commercial lawyer's library.

This comprehensive guide reveals how to systematically identify and capture cross-sell and up-sell opportunities, whether through internal transformation, organizational consolidation, or merger and acquisition scenarios. By understanding the fundamental principles of revenue expansion and cost optimization at the same time, business leaders can dramatically improve their company's value proposition while strengthening market position.Every business professional will encounter organizational change-whether through M&amp;A activity during economic booms or internal restructuring during downturns.

This book provides the strategic framework and practical tools needed to excel during these critical transitions, showing how to plan and implement cross-selling initiatives that deliver substantial revenue growth while streamlining operations for maximum efficiency. Drawing from real-world M&amp;A scenarios and internal transformation case studies, this guide demonstrates how to improve profit from both ends of the equation. You'll learn to identify cross-selling opportunities that others miss, develop implementation strategies that minimize disruption, and create sustainable revenue streams that outlast the initial organizational change.Whether you're leading a merger integration, managing a divisional consolidation, or simply seeking to optimize your current sales approach, this book provides the insights and methodologies to transform organizational complexity into competitive advantage and measurable profit improvement.

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Our economic system has changed, and younger generations are being locked out of the opportunities our parents once had. Generation Fcked* exposes how the system broke, why the old rules no longer work, and what Millennials and Gen Z can do to reclaim their financial futures. Cancel your subscriptions. Make coffee at home. Go to college. Don’t rent. Buy a house to build equity. That advice was built for a different economy. Today, those choices come with far less certainty. With rising inflation, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, and crushing student debt, the traditional ‘rules of success’ for many working- and middle-class young adults no longer lead to the outcomes once promised. This leaves younger generations searching for strategies that actually work in today’s world. Drawing on Freddie Smith’s personal journey and data-driven insights, Generation Fcked* explores the uncomfortable reality of how the American Dream—homeownership, family, and a secure retirement—has become increasingly difficult for people under forty-five. With a frank, solutions-oriented approach, this modern guide to our financially f*cked reality will help you: <ul> <li>Understand how the economy became so unequal and which institutions profit as the cost of living rises</li> <li>Talk about the generational wealth divide with older generations in ways that encourage empathy, understanding, and productive conversation</li> <li>Decide whether renting or homeownership makes sense for your life, and take meaningful steps toward clearing debt, investing, and saving</li> <li>Build a retirement plan without relying on Social Security or sacrificing your work–life balance</li> <li>Stay informed, advocate for change, and redefine success on realistic, modern terms</li> </ul> The current system isn’t sustainable. By pairing big-picture clarity with actionable, ground-level guidance, Generation Fcked* offers a path toward a more stable, fair, and achievable future, serving as a guide for generations navigating a radically different economy.
