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?
Coming into this having considered this with a close friend many years ago, and the realities we saw that came up.
The very first thing you need to ask yourself is do you have a large enough nest egg to give you the runway to get a business up and running with some sort of reoccurring revenue? What is your way of monetizing? Do you have the skills needed on the development side, operations side, and business side to get you to where you need to be to make this successful.
My personal recommendation for you is to start going to various software/tech user groups in your area, especially entrepreneurial one focused on startups.
