Personal Exit Plan | Via Nova
Personal Exit Plan

Exit healthcare for the work, the money and the life you actually want.

One to one, until you’re out. A tested direction, a clear offer, the numbers to back it, and your notice handed in with confidence.

You’ve been thinking about it for longer than you’d like to admit. Capable, experienced, good at the job, and running out of reasons to stay. What’s missing was never courage. It’s a plan.

£999 one-off investment · options available

45 minutes. No pitch. We work out if this is the right move for you.


  • A tested direction. Found, stress-tested and proven before you bet anything on it.
  • A clear offer. Positioned and priced for the people who’ll pay for it.
  • The honest numbers. What you need, what you can risk, and when.
  • A path to your first customer. Mapped and ready to act on.
  • Your written Personal Exit Plan. Built session by session, ready to act on as we go.
  • At least 14 private 1:1 sessions, 90 minutes each
  • WhatsApp support between sessions, every session recorded and shared
  • Video library covering skills, direction, affordability and planning. Yours to keep.
  • Your notice handed in knowing exactly what you’re stepping into
You don’t need a business idea to start. Finding the direction, testing it, and proving it can pay is the work we do together. Clients go into consulting, education, service businesses, industry roles, portfolio careers, even buying businesses. The point is: you finally get to choose.

01

We talk first

A free 45-minute PEP Talk on Google Meet. Where you are, what you want, and whether this is the right move. If it isn’t, I’ll say so.

02

We build the plan, one to one

90-minute working sessions through all seven VIANOVA stages: Values & Skills, Imagine, Affordable, Now What, Overcome, Validation, Action. Skills first, then the life you want, then the money, then the move.

03

Real work between sessions

Structured exercises, WhatsApp support, and accountability check-ins. Every session recorded and shared. Your plan builds as we go, ready to act on from the moment it’s written.

04

It ends when you’re ready to move

At least 14 sessions. Some people move fast, some need longer on the numbers or the idea. This finishes when you’ve reached the outcome, not when a calendar says stop.

Done when it’s done. The outcome is agreed up front: out of your healthcare job and into work you chose, with the money to back it. That’s what the investment buys. Not a fixed number of months.

David Birchmore. Twenty years in and around healthcare, clinical, commercial and international, including roles across Europe, the Middle East and North America. Made redundant, left without a safety net, and built businesses the hard way. The Personal Exit Plan is that route in the right order, so you don’t have to guess like I did.

Alongside Via Nova, I work as a Fractional Sales Director for an SEO agency and consult to solopreneurs and SMEs on commercial strategy. Offers, pricing, funnels, first customers: the things you’ll need on the other side aren’t theory to me. They’re the day job.

01I take action. Every session moves something forward.
02I do what I say. If I commit to something between sessions, it happens. I expect the same from you.
03I get results. I care about what you leave with, not how the sessions felt.
04I work with committed people. This is for people who are serious. I invest fully in those people.
05I serve you. My job is to get you where you’re going. Everything else is secondary.

“In a world of influencers and side-hustles, I can’t think of anyone better suited to take you by the hand and walk you through the next steps of the rest of your life.”

Market Development Manager, previously a Radiographer

“I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for career guidance, CV support or professional mentoring. His approach is supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely person-centred.”

Clinical Lead Nurse

“David brings a genuinely positive outlook to every conversation. He’s a fantastic listener and helped me untangle my own thoughts and priorities, which gave me the clarity I needed to make confident decisions about the direction of my business and achieving a better work-life balance.”
