Do you spend your hours at work thinking that it is time to leave your job and start a business?

Signs It Is Time To Leave Your Job And Start A Business

1 – There is a resignation letter drafted and ready to go on your computer

The fact that you have spent time writing your letter to give to your boss should be telling you that you spend a lot of time thinking about leaving.

You need to take some time out to reflect on why you have done this and why you haven’t done anything about it yet.

2 – You have a little black book with that business idea burning a hole in your pocket

There is a book, or a folder, or a file with notes and scribbles with your brilliant business idea.

It is your passion, you spend a lot of your spare time working on this dream so that one day, maybe, it can come a reality.

3 – You have been researching exit strategies

It is always a good idea to have a plan. Especially if you are the one who contributes significantly to the family household.

How detailed is your plan? Do you have goals and time frames attached to it?

Do you have a way to earn money while you start a business?

If not, then it isn’t really a plan.
