Leaving Your Job to Start a Home Business
Making the leap from a traditional job to starting a home business can be daunting. You're exchanging the familiar for the unknown and sacrificing stability for possibilities. However, this transition also unlocks unlimited potential and offers the freedom of a flexible schedule.
Yesterday, over coffee, I shared my startup journey with a friend. It's amusing to look back on my initial idea?"it seemed crazy, but I was certain it would succeed. At 23, my naive confidence, bolstered by youth and inexperience, was a key driver of my entrepreneurial success.
It resembled the "Think and Grow Rich" philosophy, though I hadn't read Napoleon Hill at the time. Now, ten years later, with more experience, my decision-making and goal-setting are more deliberate. Back then, I simply believed, and took action to make it happen.
A decade ago, I was a working wife and mother in a blended family with four children. My husband struggled to hold a job, and I earned just over $6 an hour. We lived paycheck to paycheck, with a rented house and a car that often broke down. Savings and assets were nonexistent, and escaping this cycle seemed impossible.
My path to entrepreneurship isn't one I necessarily recommend to everyone, but it worked for me. Within three months, I was up and running with a stable income. In brief, I abruptly quit my job, sold nearly everything we owned?"including china, furniture, and even my favorite heels?"to start a home-based service business.
I was determined to succeed and replace everything we had sold?"and I did.
The common advice is to save at least three months' worth of living expenses before leaving your job to work from home full-time. This is solid guidance, and I endorse it.
Alternatively, you might start your business in your spare time while maintaining your current job. This may require long hours temporarily, but once your business matches your job income, you can transition fully and return to normal working hours.
Regardless of your approach, sacrifices and risks are part of the journey. Plan wisely, believe in yourself, and commit to achieving your dreams.
Most people embark on this path seeking more?"more time, flexibility, options, or financial stability. If you desire these enough, take the leap and make it happen!
I’m now in my 11th year of business and have never looked back since leaving my job in early 1997. If a struggling mother in a full house with an unemployed husband can succeed, so can you!
