well finally something that will get u to be a mdosi.

Congratulations on this decision. My advice would be apart from waiting for your biz to take shape like in 2 months or so before quitting, also make sure you have savings on your account that can sustain you for at least 5 months or so in case ur biz doesn't generate the expected income within the 1st few months. Finally you will always be having this voice telling you to wait until next month so that u quit even if the right time has come. Just tell that little voice to shut up and do it coz the only way to move forward is to break the bridge so that there is no going back.

@mdosi
I have direct experience in this. Unfortunately for me, I had a complete disaster. This is what I learned;
- do your due diligence be very patient as you do this
-the GOK will be a headache
-hedge your bets
-expect the completely unforseen
- expect delays, problems, and failure

If you lack serious determination I'd say don't do it. Remain an employee and just suck up to your boss.

Well, personally i think it all depends on what kind of business you want to start,your experience in that field and of course your passion in it. There's a reason why they say,you can't have your cake and eat it. If you have decided to quit your job and pump all your energy,focus and passion on something that is totally beneficial to you and your future...then trust me,you will survive in business.But if you're still hang up on your monthly cheque and fear not having you rent at a certain date come end month,then business isn't for you!
Business is about being bold,believing in yourself and being ready to face the worst. It takes a while to build a business but the long term fruits are very sweet. So,if you think you've got it..then dont listen to people..just DO IT

Build your dreams, otherwise someone else will use you to build theirs

@mdosi, there was another thread titled 'How did you start'.Maybe it could be of help
