Codie Sanchez says don't stay in a job unless you're earning more and learning exponentially. She left roles when growth stopped. She also warns against starting a business too early: work for entrepreneurs for five to seven years first, learn on their dime, then start your own.

Should not stay at a job for 20 years unless that job continues to allow you to earn more and to learn more. So the second I wasn't earning more, and the second I didn't feel like I could learn more exponentially, I left. You're kind of monkey, barring both how much you earn and what you can learn to your next position. And I think that too many people start doing entrepreneurship too early because you can learn on somebody else's dime, as opposed to going out and doing the brutal, awful thing that could put you 10 years behind because you lose all your money and you don't actually have enough knowledge to do the job right. Go and work for a bunch of entrepreneurs for five or seven years, and then once you've been sure that you really want to be in the game and be an entrepreneur, then go do it.
