Should I Quit My Job? - Should I pick my job or my company?

Should I pick my job or my company? This is a common question I get asked, and when you're starting a business, it's very tempting to want to go do your own thing, right? And leave your job and focus on your company full-time. You see the opportunity, right? You see, you know, I'm making these results by working 20 hours a week. If I could work 60 hours a week or 80 hours a week, I'd get so much more results. The danger here is that you run out of cash. This happens way too often. Entrepreneurs have a great idea, they start their business, and then 3 months later, 6 months later, they have to go back, get their job back again, or get a new job because they run out of cash, right? They couldn't support themselves. The business just didn't grow fast enough. And you got to remember that business It takes time to grow, right? It's not an overnight thing. It's not you launch a website and boom, instant sales. It takes time for momentum to grow, and it's way better to do something every day than to work like crazy for 3 months and then have to give up, because you need to let time for the momentum to pick up and to grow. So if you're deciding between having a job and having a company, My best advice typically is stay at your job until you get your business to the point of survival. To the point where you're making enough money to feed yourself, put food on the table, pay your bills, not, not living any kind of luxurious lifestyle, just survival. You won't have to go back and get a job. That's your first goal. This comes as a result of a question from one of my Facebook viewers. Anthony, who wrote in to say, you know, he has a software company and he's been working at it for 60, 70 hours a week, and he has a job at Walmart and he doesn't know if he should leave the job at Walmart, or I think he just left the job at Walmart and he doesn't know if he made the right decision or not. So here's the thing, Anthony, you know, I feel for you. It sounds like the company you have is making some money but not at the point yet where you're confident that if you leave your job you'll be able to support yourself. If you want to get a job, that's cool. Like, there's nothing wrong with having a job at the start to support yourself while you're doing your business. So many great entrepreneurs started that way. Okay, if you have the rich uncle backing you, fine. But most of us, we don't have that. We gotta start from something. And so there's nothing wrong with having a job part-time to support yourself, pay your bills while you focus on growing your business. That ensures your survival. Okay, that's, that's an honorable thing to do. What I would question here is like, why Walmart? If you're in a software business, you want to take a job not just to get paid but to learn. If you feel you're learning something at Walmart, then that's one thing, but I don't think Walmart will teach you too much about how to run a software company. Go work at a software company. Do something where you're going to learn skills, make contacts, make mistakes while getting paid to do it. That's the job you want. So did you make the right decision leaving Walmart to focus on your business? I don't know. My advice would be see how you're doing. You know, if your company can get you to the point of survival, then go with it, because the highest return on investment you're going to have is going to be putting it into yourself. You got to believe that. You got to believe that this company is going to take off and be amazing. But it will take time. It's not going to happen tomorrow. So if you can get your company to the point of survival on your own without the job, then do it. Focus on that. Grind it out every day. Put more into your business. If you're worried that you're not going to be able to hit that mark, you know, if you try it and it's not happening, then there's nothing wrong with going and getting a job. But just don't give up on your company, okay? Even if it's something part-time, keep doing it every day, something small to make your company grow. And if you're going to go get a job, do it where you're going to learn something. There's a company who you respect and look up to and emulate, like you want to be like this company, go get that job. That's going to teach you how to be a great entrepreneur and you can pour that education back into your business. Believe. For those of you watching, thumbs up below if you liked it.
