When should I resign from my job to pursue business/entrepreneurship?

[Min George]

Most of us have desires to pursue business. We had to take jobs because we didn't have a foothold to use and start a business. Having worked for five years already, when would be considered a right time to leave the employment scene to start a business?

 

[King Belieal]

My candid advice would be to start the business as a side hustle. Test the waters and be sure you are ready in every aspect before you resign.

I think you may start an online business as a side hustle first. If it works out, you can resign and devote all your time to your own business.

For me it would be when I'm sure that the business would work for me. If possible I combine the two at the same time

There is no time considered as the right time when it comes to starting a business. I worked for 11 months and some days before I decided to start my own business. It all depends on when you feel you have all the resources and knowledge needed to start up.

Don't be in a hurry to resign. Make sure that you have gathered all you need in terms of finances and knowledge to help an easy transition from employee to business.

For me l think that one should not make resign from their jobs anytime sooner. Instead they should wait for the business to attain it's sustainability in growth before they can think of resignation from their jobs.

It all depends on the type of business you want to get engaged. If the business is capital intensive, you need to save some save a lot of funds. But on the other side of it, if the business is not capital intensive, you can jump start it without much ado.

I understand the desire to start your own business. But it's important to be strategic about the timing. Keep building up your savings and skills in your current job. That will give you a stronger foundation when you do make the switch. The right time is when you have enough capital, a well-researched business plan, and the right support system in place.

 

[King Belieal]

While my experience should not be used as a standard, I resigned from my job after two years to start my business.

 

[Min George]

To know when to resign from a job to do a business, you have to define to yourself what you wanted to achieve when taking that job and if that has been achieved.

 

[Fidelia]

It is mostly people that are staying with their parents that have the leverage to resign from work despite not having a well established business.

 

[Augusta]

Do it when you have the passion for your business. Try to run it when you know you would have the time for it

 

[Kross]

You really have to plan well before leaving your job for business. Be sure that you have a financial contingency plan.

In some countries it is important to professionally evaluate your family background and support system before leaving a good job. The rich and powerful are extremely ruthless in criminally defaming innocent hardworking professionals, investors from poorer communities.

When you keep going to work and yet the payment been received is used for only transportation one need to resign and start a business.

When you keep going to work and yet the payment been received is used for only transportation one need to resign and start a business.

How are you supposed to start a business at that point when the bulk of your money is for transportation and no savings.

 

[Starmix]

If you have a huge saving for capital then you may resign from your job or may apply for a vacation leave without a pay while observing the flow of your business. It's safer that way for when the business does not suit you, you can go back to your work.
