Your opinion wanted: should I quit my job to force me to succeed online?

NijThinkIt · 07-11-2009, 08:56 PM

It depends on what you are trying to sell. If what you got is going to benefit the greater good, then by all means you should quit your job eventually because your purpose is wasted otherwise.

The universe will conspire to make things happen if your heart is in it!

Sometimes it is better to make peace with the situation we are already in. If you can find one thing that you really enjoy with your job and focus on it, you will be suprised at the amazing contacts, information and opportunities that may arise. This will fuel you to do what your really love.

My motto has always been,

"Doing what you love should be doing what you are doing!"

I have read through some of the replies and I agree with those that say do not give up your job...well not yet anyway.

There are many sites that sell the concept of making money online really easy, but in truth it is not. It is a slow process of setting up the technical side (developing sites, autoresponders and the like) and then the even longer process of building your customer list and more importantly their trust.

This just takes a long time and there is no real short cut to it.

I agree ... start setting something up and when your online income is equal to 3 months salary consistently you may then want to consider giving up your job otherwise you could be asking for problems.

Let me know if I can help you any more.

Have a back up plan. Sink or swim can be deadly.

I say no...why put unnecessary stress on yourself. Unexpected things can pop up that you will need the income for. Like the saying goes, its easier to look for another job while you still have one.

HouseGirl · 07-12-2009, 03:04 PM

Personally, I would not be able to quit my job without having at least some sort of regular income coming in. It would just add another level of stress that would make me even less efficient in achieving my goals.

Thankfully, I was able to negotiate a very favorable work schedule so although I work close to 40 hours a week I work them all in a three day time period - giving me 3 days to concentrate on my own business and one day to be utterly lazy and unproductive.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to eventually exceed my full-time income and eliminate the need for my outside employment.

When I was younger and had a job I didn't like I tried to do all kinds of part-time businesses in my spare time. None of them really worked. This was before the Internet. It is a lot easier now because you can do so much from home and all hours of the day.

Anyway, to make a long story short I convinced myself that I would just work on my business is full time I would be successful.

I was wrong!

I was just kidding myself. My lack of success doing the business of part-time was mainly because of my bad habits, fear of doing the hard things and lack of experience. After I quit my job I still struggled for a long time.

Fortunately over time I had some successes and have now been self-employed for 20 years.

If you are making it, it's probably not because of lack of time.Today with the Internet, you do not have to quit your job to find success in the IM business. Prove you can do it while still having the stability of your full-time job and then after you start doing well and only then should you consider quitting.

Of course if you're single and just have a low paying job than you are really losing much if you do quit to work on Internet marketing full-time. However if you have a family you're supporting or other financial responsibility for don't even consider quitting until you've proven to yourself that you really can make money online.

According to me, quiting your job for the sake of online jobs is not a good idea..

You can manage both untill you get on a safe position online and then can decide about quiting..

ebong16 · 11-16-2009, 11:40 PM

it depends on what internet program you join

redicelander · 11-17-2009, 12:00 AM

For you, perhaps the answer is yes, you should quit your job to back you up against a wall. For others, this many not be the answer. Perhaps you should not quit your job and should quit when you reach a goal of online income, such as $3000/month or something like that. Only you can decide. Best of luck, hope you will succeed whatever you decide.

Most people do not start their online business due to procrastination. If they never start - then they don't fail. It's usually just a self-esteem thing. (at least that's what Dr. Phil says ..lol) Anyway, if you know the steps for success I think you'll do it.

1937dougal · 11-17-2009, 01:39 AM

NO !! NO !! NO!!

I agree with you, this is what I'm exactly thinking when I quit my job a few weeks ago. My last day of work is on the 25th this month. I have some fears that my new endeavor will not work, as days passed me by I'm thinking of taking back my resignation letter and tell my boss I changed my mind. (LOL) The more I think about it, the more I freak out. But I know my self so much, I know I like this thing, I am fit for this new exciting career and whatever happens I will succeed. Positive thinking works wonder. If you want to support me my web blog is fuzzyblee go and google it, I'm sure it will come out. Please check it out and leave me comments there. I would to hear from all of you!

i wouldnt quit your job you just need to push yourself to succeed with making money online.

Marko Polo · 11-17-2009, 04:37 AM

I quit my job a couple of months ago to develop my online business with the goal of converting it to a bricks and mortar business servicing clients whilst operating online also, and I've been working on it full time since...

I tried doing it after work and on the weekends but I was always too mentally exhausted to do any serious work on it, even if I did succeed in doing something, I was often too tired to perform my job properly at work where you have to be on the ball otherwise you'll get caught out by your clients. So I said screw it I saved enough money to survive for a while so I left to go full time.

If you're like me and you thrive in the deep end and have some cash behind you I say do it. I wouldnt recommend it if your strapped for cash, stay on your job a little longer and save. I'm looking for some casual work just to get the cash flow going again, simple work to pay the base bills where I dont have any obligations or commitments to the employer (like labouring).

At the end of the day if you have a job that doesnt push you to the limit mentally than theres no reason why you cant stay in your job and pursue your business interests as well.
