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?

    Yep came here to say the same thing, go sell to a few customers on your vacation days and maybe you’ll need a few more iterations before it’s ready for prime time. Switching your side hustle to full time doesn’t have to be black and white… You’ll know when you’re ready because your day job will cost you money you could have made at your “side hustle” Hope that helps, blue skies!
