I’m a banker getting decent pay, single, no mortgage… Should I quit my job to focus on my own business? Ive learned software development and built my MVP for a niche market. Reason was, I’m sick of office politics and forever pleasing my bosses and always trying to prove myself to them. Thinking of, if I put the same amount of energy to my own business, what could I have possibly achieved.
Currently I work full time 9-5, and work on the technology at night til 2am most time. Even weekends. Exhausting, but it worked fine. I’ve just finished building my product and ready to move on to marketing and acquiring customers. The problem is, customer acquisition would require me to be talking to customers during the day.
Pls give your advice on how have you, or would you would navigate this kind of situation. Would you quit your job?
Stay at your soul sucking job until you know the new business can support you. That’s what I did. After about 2 years of doing both, I finally quit and did my side gig. That was 14 years ago.
