The Best Time To Start A Business
In this short monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, advises anyone with a full‑time 9‑to‑5 job who wants to launch a business to keep their regular employment while they get started. She explains that early on a new venture typically reduces personal income and demands more hours, often requiring work from sunrise to sunset. Because the salaried job continues to provide a steady paycheck, it serves as a low‑risk practice arena where entrepreneurs can experiment, fund initial expenses with their salary, and treat any early losses as temporary since the regular income will resume the following month. The overall message is that maintaining a 9‑to‑5 while starting a business offers financial safety and a practical training ground before committing full‑time.
