I think so, too – Yes, it seems conservative, but we must prepare for the worst these days…

I agree, why not stay on at your job and slowly build a business so that you can support yourself WHILE the business grows

Ade,

That’s one of the best practice – Focusing on learning as much while working for a boss, instead of focusing on the paycheck.

Where possible, get a job doing something you’d like to own a business in one day.

That way you get paid to learn the business, build contacts and greatly increase your chances of future success.

Well said!

Being on both sides is challenging, as both of them demand your full attention. To add, the best way to enter entrepreneurship today is to make transition from 9-5 job to business ownership as painless as possible.

Taking much risks reward more, but careful planning followed with swift action can turn you into entrepreneur in the most convenient one. Remember, control is everything – Losing control and hand your future to fate is probably the least thing you’d do in today’s uncertain economy.

Thanks for sharing :)

Every one wants a steady paycheck. Only the ones willing to sacrifice can make it. what side of line are you on? both have ups and downs. In a society where the job market is always unpredictable, many people long for the security of steady work and a feeling of control. This is why so many of us turn to the idea of starting our own businesses. After all, this route holds appeal for plenty of reasons: you can be your own boss, set your own hours, and do something you enjoy for a living. However, not everyone who chooses the path of self-employment will necessarily be successful. While it is true that the majority of businesses in this country are small businesses, few start-ups make it past the three-year mark. This occurs for a number of reasons, from poor planning to inefficient marketing and poor qualifications. Therefore, if you are planning to start your own business, it is vital that you find out beforehand if you have what it takes to be a success.

Darrell,

Thanks for the good words.

Indeed, staying in a job with an entrepreneurial motive could even get the startup to be something big faster. Some wouldn’t agree with me, as doing two totally different world together will not do any good for both. But in reality, the major problem in startup is funding, just like you said – Unless, of course, you can secure funding sources that allow you to quit your job and live off from the funding for 3 to 6 months.

Good luck living your dream, Darrell! :)
