I think that this answer is probably not the sexy "just quit your job and 'Go All In'"
I just got hired right after School. I work from 8am to 5pm. I spend all my day at the office working for less. I have an idea to start a book publishing company to produce customised exercise books for schools. I hardly get time to execute what I read from this forum.
I want to know whether its advisable to quit my job or not?
Any advise
I will try working on my project. another problem facing entrepreneurs in Ghana is that since we young n out of school they dnt want to do business with us. How do I gain credibility

How do I gain credibilityWhat do you do from 5:01pm to 7:59am? There's gotta be 3 or 4 hours of hustle time in there every day. How about weekends?

MJ DeMarco thanks for your advise. Your book is an eye opener. At 24 I know more than my college professors.How do they know you OWN the company? If you show them a great product, they shouldn't care how old you are. Just present yourself as a sales representative, or just a guy hired by your company. As an entrepreneur just getting started, you have to play many roles.
As for quitting your job, don't think many here can answer that question for you, especially since you are in Ghana. Not many of us have visited to know the intricacies of the economic environment.

Thanks very much.I hope that was a simple statement of fact and not hubris.
Thanks. We need a forum like this for our business environment(africa).@jaxon 24 My suggestion will be: Don't quit your day job. Try working on your business idea in the evening when you close from work, if you are really passionate about your business idea then it's worth sacrificing some of your sleep time to work on it. It wont be easy especially when you have to be up very early to beat the morning traffic to get to work on time, I live here in Accra and I know the system.
After developing a good plan for your idea you should test it first to ensure there is a market for your product, then you can quit your job and scale up.
I hope this helps.. I'm 24 and also working on my business plan, thinking of launching late this year or early 2015....
