<div class="bbWrapper">I find myself in a bit of a dilemma, and would appreciate advise from the fastlaners here.<br />
<br />
I've been working for a co. for a little over 12 years now, as a project manager. Decent job, rather a comfortable one and a decent paycheque along with a great relationship with the owners of the co.<br />
<br />
But then there is a problem...<br />
<br />
I am still in the slow lane, have been aspiring to get into the fast lane from perhaps a decade now. I've failed at an attempt in business at least twice. ( serious yet amateur attempt, involved debts etc, which thankfully I am out of now.) Yes I did learn in the process so no regrets.<br />
<br />
At this very moment I am making an attempt to build an online business while I do my full time job, but the amount of effort I am able to put in here is not much, my job consumes about 12 hours (including the commute)<br />
<br />
I am thinking of continuing it this way for another 6 months, and then quit my job, even if I haven't gained lot of traction in the business and intend to do it full time and live off savings - good to keep me going for at least a year.<br />
<br />
Another thought, tells me to keep the job use the money I am making there and let that fund the business expenses like advertising and only quit when I am atleast matching my income from my job.<br />
<br />
But to build a business you need consistent effort, I am trading a significant amount of time in the slow lane and very less towards the fast lane.<br />
<br />
I am not sure if I am just afraid of letting go of a job that's comfortable and trying to give myself reasons why quitting may not be the right thing to do?<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts, any body who has been in the same situation? how did it go for you?<br />
<br />
Would love to hear from you.<br />
<br />
Thank you</div>
