The Exit Strategy

The Paid in Full Philosophy

01. Detach from Validation

Your market value is determined by your internal state, not the external 'bid'.

02. Control the Transaction

Always get the 'upfront'—whether it's money, respect, or boundaries.

03. Own the Exit

A hustle without an exit strategy is just a more expensive cage.

Meet Lisa

Lisa English didn’t take the traditional route to the boardroom. Starting her career in the nightlife industry, she navigated complex power dynamics, high-stakes financial environments, and the raw reality of human psychology.

What started as a means of survival became a masterclass in economics. She learned that the rules of the club—perception, leverage, and boundary setting—applied directly to the corporate world.

Now, she translates those gritty lessons into actionable strategies for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone looking to reclaim their narrative. Paid in Full is her manifesto on turning stigma into strength.

Chapter 4 really hit home for me. People think it's just showing up, but the emotional labor is the real cost.

MK

Exactly. I never thought about negotiation that way until I read the section on "The Exit Strategy". Changed how I freelance.
