Him 1: You shouldn't leave your job yet...you should at LEAST have 100k in the bankMe: Damn REALLY? Did YOU?Him 1: No I was actually 80k in debt...which is why I'm telling you to be smart about it!Me: So...I shouldn't leave until...I have a shit ton saved up...Him 1: Right...cuz what if you leave...you don't make sales...and then you're F*cked. Then you need to go back to the 9-5 ANYWAY so you may as well just stay and stack!Him 2: You shouldn't leave until you're at least making money off your stuffMe: OK...yet in order to start making money off my stuff I need to dedicate more of my time and attention...TO MY STUFF, no?Him 2: Well just keep at it while you're at the job...then when you're making the same amount off your stuff...THEN leave...you don't wanna jump ship too early.While these 2 men are highly revered people in my own life, I couldn't help but feel the pang of doubt in their words.I wanna leave now!I've got my plan...I've got my roadmap....got my product and website and all that stuff I HEARD I'm supposed to have...
MJ DID IT!Or did he?I've been holding onto excuses and safety nets for too long...and just when I get the AHA! and balls to finally leave...I'm highly cautioned against it.I tend to believe that I'm alone in this and, clearly, I don't have full confidence in the people in my life...which is why I'm posing this question to YOU wonderful people who have been so helpful thus far! So my question...when are we SUPPOSED TO leave the 9-5?
