Should You Quit Your Daily Job?

Do you have a daily good job today and get paid well every month? Thank God if you do. We know that so much people in this world find their selves chained in unemployment and can not do anything to make money. Some of them then are pushed to do crime in which they actually don’t want to be. The other people are still struggling hard to earn small money legally that is not enough to fill their family needs. A real sad story, isn’t it?

I was so lucky to get my degree in engineering and have a job in manufacturing company today. Doing online business is my part-time job. But guess what? I love this part-time job much more than the daily one. And there’s a truly BIG DREAM in me that always encourages me to build this online business bigger and bigger so I can get more money and spend more time with my family.

Are you with me?

But don’t get me wrong. Switching making money from having a daily job to working at home needs to be carefully decided. You should consider your current level of family responsibilities as well. Now check this list out and try to answer my questions yourself.

1. Our success will always be based on how hard we are working on it. I firmly believe with the term: No pain, no gain. No matter what you do, no matter whom you work for, you must fight really hard to get your success. So, are you going to work hard for somebody else, or for your own self?

2. Let’s say that you are the R&D manager in a manufacturing company and you have your $x,xxx monthly check as your salary. If you suddenly come across a genius idea, followed by your very best detailed floor plan, and lead your company a millions dollar profit to collect, do you think you’ll get your share from that giant profit?

3. Most company pay their employees with salary based on the number of time they work. It could be hourly or daily. Under these circumstances, a hard worker employee will earn as much money as the other lazy-and-less worker will get, even though there’s a difference of performance value between them. Which one do you prefer, you’ll get your money based on the number of time you work, or the value of performance you’ve created while you work?

4. There must be a hierarchical level at all company. We all do realize that it is a must and it is normal. That’s how the company’s information will flow from top to the bottom, back and forth. Unfortunately, it sometimes becomes annoying for those smarter people at the lower level who want to communicate their beautiful ideas up to the top level, but find the middle level playing his/her own “game” to take charge of the project. The worst thing is then they pretend that the ideas are originally theirs. Have you ever experienced this kind of “ideas faking”?

5. Company has rules that all employees have to obey. Violation will lead to punishment, varying from the very smooth way to the more serious one. This rule sometimes seems too harsh so it won’t tolerate if you’re late for work, even it’s because you have to take your son to the doctor first! :-( … Let’s compare if you have your own business. You are free to define what rules you want apply as long as your goal is well done, right?

6. Money from your daily job will sustain your family life economically today and maybe until 2, or 5, or 10 years to come. What if you are closer to 55 years old? Retire and leave your career behind? How will you continue your family life then? Are you economically independent already? Don’t you think it is better to start your own business right now, and you will have the time longer to grow that business before you feel too old to start?

7. Being an entrepreneur means that you will run your business with every power you possess, overcome the obstacles by yourself and take the responsibility from all decisions you have made. Both win and loose are totally yours. So scary, huh? Well, maybe it is. But remember, even if you fail after 5 or 8 years struggling for your own business, you might have learned a lot more than if you had the same time working in somebody else’s company. Now, are you ready to take the risks for a precious learning, for your own sake?

8. Having a good job with a big money doesn’t always mean that you love that job. Now you are either doing what you love or you are not. I like my job now at manufacturing company, but apparently online business “has taken my heart away with it”:-D… I really love the way it provides me update information, the easier way to make money with it, the more time it promises me to spend with my family, the more money I can get with it, etc. Are you now making money by doing what you love?
