Leaving Your Job? You Need a Safety Net… or Do You?
Home Business January 11th, 2008So it’s your dream to learn how to make a living online so you can
quit your job and say goodbye to your boss and your 9-5 job. But
before you can actually make that giant leap you need to make sure
you’re ready. So that leads you to ask the question: When will I be
ready to leave the comfort of my regular paycheck and my regular
(ie guaranteed) working hours.
You know that it’s exciting to be able to make a living online.
It’s great to be able to set your own hours and to be able to be
your own boss. But there’s also a downside to leaving your 9-5 job
and making a go of it on your own.
It is scary to know that you’re guaranteed that you will make a
specific amount of money every week or every two weeks. It’s also
scary to think that there’s a possibility that you’ll leave your
current job and you simply won’t be able to do it – you won’t be
able to make it on your own, online. It is scary.
Because of how scary it is, and because the fear is real, many
people give the advice that you have to be absolutely ready to
leave your 9-5 job. You have to already have a proven method of
making money. You also have to have a “safety net” of at least 6
months of salary saved up. In addition, you should have all your
debt paid down too. With the six months of savings and with no
debt, you have plenty of time to fail and still be okay.
That sounds like a safe plan, right? It’s good that you’ll be able
to afford to fail. It’s good that you’ll basically be planning to
fail.
Or is it?
Think about it. Is it good or bad to plan to fail? This one’s a
no-brainer. It’s bad to plan to fail. Of course it is.
So why then would you want to plan to fail when you’re about leave
your job? Why would you want to say your “ready” when all you’ve
done is set things up so that you can fail?
For this reason, there are a growing number of people out there who
say that you shouldn’t have a “safety net” ready when you leave
your job. These people will tell you to go ahead and jump and your
net will appear.
The thinking behind this line of logic is if you can’t afford to
fail then you will find a way not to fail. In other words, you’ll
find a way to be successful. On the other hand, if you have that
safety net there, if you have a cushion to allow for failure, then
you will use that net; you will use that cushion. If you want to
start actually making it online from the outset then you better
make yourself succeed from the outset.
Of course when you are ready to take that leap is ultimately up to
you. You do need to have a proven way of making money, no one
disputes that. But whether you need to have a safety net or not is
something that not everyone agrees about. Whichever scenario you’re
more comfortable with, whichever way makes more sense to you, is
the way you should use to decide when you’re ready to quit your 9-5
job.
After you leave your job, one thing you’ll need to considered is
your taxes. Although you can save a lot of money in taxes having
your own business, you have to do it the right way!
