Don’t QUIT your day job!

I am very passionate about this topic & I can speak from the truth!
There is a lot of uncertainty these days. A steady paycheck has more value than just the dollars that come into your bank account every payday. 

So many entrepreneurs have so many amazing ideas, but they are rushing to quit their day job and not thinking things through. 

  • The humorous quote “don’t quit your day job” means if someone tells you not to give up the day job, they are saying that they think you should continue doing what you are good at, rather than trying something new which they think you will fail at. 
  • But, that really is not the case.  You can have so many great ideas and you can literally create and do anything you desire.  It is important for us to trying new things.  You can do ALL of these things while working.  You can have a goal of wanting to retire early from your day job. That is how you might say that !!!
  • If you are like me and you want to create other income streams you really need to do the following first before quitting your day job:
  • You should really have 6 months of expenses saved and don’t forget some of you have insurance & 401k’s to consider when you factor this in.  Now this is what statistics say…I am saying it should be much more…a year would be my preference. 
  • When you are employed you can approach your other businesses more thoughtfully. When you don’t quit your day job right away, you won’t feel the pressure to cut corners, and if you don’t turn a positive cash flow immediately, you will still be able to remain afloat. Knowing that the bills are paid each month takes a lot of pressure off a new venture and lets you enjoy the process of building a business instead of feeling desperate to make it a success.  You will be able to do it with a clear mind not a desperate feeling for success. It will come more easily.  
  • When you are working you are still connected with other people.  Sometimes when you are an entrepreneur you can isolate yourself from people. It is hard to meet new people, especially on line.  When you have your day job you are connected to real humans and have a network of people.  
  • Be grateful for what you have now.  Seems hard because you might feel stuck especially if you are looking for something else.  Sometimes we are so focused on the end goal but you should focus on this!
  1. We are so focused on what we don’t have and it is putting us in a negative state and creating negative talk in out head.  Be grateful and appreciate what you have and what its giving you at the moment so it is putting you in that positive sate at the moment so you can move forward.  
  2. The universe says you can have it all, but you need to learn to feel complete now
  3. You need to focus on all the buckets in your life not just the money buckets
  4. Get conscious now, feel abundant now, feel rich now and feel grateful now
  • Be patient and enjoy the process … the financial wealth will follow.  You want to create financial wealth.  In order to do that you do NOT want to quit your day job.
