It doesn't have to be one or the other: job OR business

It can be both. And at times, this is the best decision to make (especially since we have been through a downturn in the economy.

Sometimes entrepreneurship can be glorified - be your own boss, make your own hours, etc.

The truth is that entrepreneurship can sometimes be challenging and for some people and families, that doesn't work.

While I coach people to build a strong business foundation before they leave their job, so they COULD leave their day job prepared and more experienced, the important thing to note is that IF that is also what they want and as long as they know the risks.

You can also have a very successful side business and that's good too. In fact

If you were to quit your job then want to go back to employment, of course that is okay.

We have to be okay with doing what is best for our families and not giving into societal pressures. The decision is entirely up to you.

And know that you can always change your mind.
