Do it! I done it 7 weeks ago - the only hitch in the plan was that I had a crash on my motorbike a few days before and slipped a disk!

All good though - not being able to walk properly for a few months is just the excuse you need to get your butt into action

This whole thread is a manifestation for me!
Thank god I found it and Thank you for posting it! (as well as those who contributed!)

I'm an Over the road trucker and if anyone knows anything about that lifestyle, Then you know how hard it is to get anything done, Much less online!

I've driven myself (no pun intended but it sure fits!) and my wife plum nuts agonizing if I should jump ship. I hate this F$%^%n job with a passion! It feels an 80,000 pound, 70mph prison! I'm home only 6 days a month! No scheduled time during my work hours to get any coaching or classes etc. add insanity!

My site is young and I have not risen to the top 30 yet for any of the 30 pages on my site. By the time I do get to work on it I'm so burned out I can't really focus!

I have tons of resources and help on line (I'm using SBI for my hosting) and feel absolutely SURE I can make this work!!

So What keeps me from quitting my job?...Child support for one! And a wife that would loose her ever loving mind! Even though we have no debt and $ in the bank!
(Women seem to have an "over active security gland" I think LOL)

I do have an option I am working on, and that is: My Employer allows for what they call "Casual drivers" who tell them when they want to work, and for how many days they want to be out on each trip.

This would give me almost total control of my work schedule. Since I am retired Military (no pension till I hit age 59) Med Insurance is available.

I would lose 3 cents a mile, My 401k (which they don't contribute to) A dedicated truck (in other words I would have to take what truck was available instead of always the same one..which kinda sucks, but I'll pay that price NP!) and the insurance that I'd replace with my military insurance.

All of that and I still am getting resistance from my DW!!
WHY??
Because... She knows nothing about the internet, computers, or marketing, for one.
For two, she is totally indoctrinated that time = $ and a job is the only way to earn it. I love her to death but she is getting ready for an education! I will go for the part time deal!!

HOW CAN I NOT!?

Comments? Suggestions or opinions?

P.s. In my wife's defense.
She does want me home more and is willing to work with me on this part time thing.
But that danged gland I talked about is spasming like crazy!

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.

netgenz

I like this word. Find out if you really have a passion on it or you will be sink. It will take lot's of works in the beginning.

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.

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.

Instead of giving advise, what I will do is to pose a few questions for you to answer. In case the answers are favorable, go ahead and take the plunge,
1. How well do you swim?
2. How well paying is your job?
3. Do you have a cushion in case things don't work out for you?
4. What is plan B?
5. Who else is dependent on you?
Best of luck in whatever you decide.

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..

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.

NO !! NO !! NO!!

fuzzyblee

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

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.

zahra

I am sorry but i don`t agree with you, i think no body can fulfill a certain task perfectly under pressure.

I think you better decide to have a full time in IM because you want to concentrate but not to be without any income and under stress to accomplish something in short time.
