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?

    Most businesses fail and most Entrepreneurs are broke.

    It’s ok to work a job and don’t quit until your business is successful if you want to pursue Entrepreneurship.

    Hope you understand.

    Best to you

      Best advice on this thread.

      To add on, since you’re already have a working arrangement that you’re comfortable with, let the product bring in some revenue before you quit your job.

      $1k MRR would be ideal
