Before i quit my job I was working on my business, trying to keep afloat an existing side business, raising my 1 year old daughter, and maintaining/cultivating the marriage to my wife. My wife at the time had quit her job to raise our daughter so I was the sole bread winner of the family. Clearly a busy and financially stressful time in my life. Quitting to chase the fastlane dream wasn’t an option.
However, I think its important to have a steady income stream when building a business from scratch. Theres certain risks that need to be taken without your judement being clouded by the financial fear associated with a dwindling savings account. Thats just my opinion.
When we launched our company, we did $1M in sales on day 1. I quit my job the same day. My boss was shocked and thought I was making a terrible mistake. She ended up being wrong about that.
