When you should actually *have* a job.
I've read how some people have said getting rid of their job and going full-time into the Internet world is the greatest thing since sliced bread. For some, that may be 100% absolutely correct. However, I would not necessarily recommend that to everyone, nor necessarily right away, and especially if you are new making money online.
You should have a job if:
1. You need money in the intern to pay your bills. if you don't have any means of meeting your basic necessities, the easiest thing being using money to pay for food and rent, then don't quit your day job. Wait until you start doing significantly well enough in your own business, until you quit your real job.
2. Even if you are super successful, you may still want to have a part-time job. That is because sometimes, especially with Internet marketing, it is extremely easy to get sucked into spending all your time in front of a computer. You forget how to socialize, and forget how to make friends. Especially with PDAs, Facebook, e-mail, instant messaging, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries (okay I am joking about the last two), etc. etc. it really is easy to live the lifestyle where you wake up in the morning, park your butt on a chair in front of your computer, and then the only time you leave is to go to the bathroom or get something from the fridge. If this sounds like you, and even though it is great that you're making a bit of cash online, you should probably consider getting a part-time job so that at least you get out, and don't forget what people look like. :-)
