Hi all, after a bit of guidance, please!

I currently work 8am to 6pm Mon-Fri, and earn just 26K a year.

Outside of working hours, either late at night or on the weekends. I do my best at running my side-hustle, which is reselling clothes to people.

Currently, for the last two years, my business has generated 4-6K profit a month before tax and expenses, my expenses are usually around 1K.

I’m so tired and burned out of working my full time job, they just keep giving me more responsibilities, for no more pay, and it’s getting to the point where I’m so tired when I finish work that I don’t even want to work on my business, is this how they trap you?

I’m so tempted to just quit my job and pursue my business full-time. I can’t stop thinking about how much money I could possibly make if I had an extra five days to work on it. But at the same time, I can’t stop thinking about what if the extra time doesn’t bring me anymore sales, I’m so torn.

I have about 15K saved to live off, and I have around £700 a month in bills (Car payment, and rent)

Shall I just fuckin’ do it?

I’m tempted to quit and get a part time job at Asda stacking shelves just for the security of it all, but honestly, I have no idea anymore, I’m burned out.

    Before you quit your job you need to learn the difference between revenue and profit. Before you quit your job you have to work the numbers. You also need to think through if your business can scale. If you work more hours on the business are you certain you can source more stock and increase revenue?
