Well, if you can make money while searching for a role, you might be able to turn this into a side hustle after you land a new job. So it sounds like a good idea. Just make sure you are networking and trying to get interviews as well. That takes up a lot of time. Good luck!
Yea, that’s sound logic. W-2 income is not as secure as it used to be. So building your own thing is absolutely a good use of time and resources.
My buddy did this. He left his management job and started a flooring company. He grosses 20-30k a month, occasionally more. Way more than you’ll ever make I. Corporate America unless you reach the C level.
Thank you! I needed to hear this! I've been just scared about this decision and I'm meeting with a lawyer next week to set it all up
I am an investor
I'll keep that in mind for sure!
You did the right thing by taking matters into your own hands. Having a job may be a form of security, but starting your own business is control over your destiny. Make sure the lawyer doesn’t overcharge you and ask for itemized receipts for expenses such as his base fees, each license fee, and corporate filing fees.
I was like some of you, except that I was laid off not once, but twice just after getting married. I can vouch for not trusting my future to another company or person. Self-employment decision came after these two devastating events and now I look back and I CONSIDER BEING LAID OFF AS A BLESSING. I started a Recruiting firm in my garage with two young children and a supporting hard-working wife in 1977,
Next year, the will celebrate its 50th year in business and my marriage with a 60-year anniversary. Since my first placement, now why i had waited so long in THE IMPORTANCE IN CONTROLLING MY DESTINY. The success has provided me with a high-level income, an internationally recognized business recognized by FORBES MAGAZINE 3 years in a row as a TOP EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM RANKING in the USA.
Self-employment requires a "total commitment", spouse/family support, Six-to-Twelve-month survival amount, a sound/researched business plan and most of all, highest level of perseverance & determination. I was born in poverty and picking cotton in 100+degree weather was my motivation for "controlling my destiny" for me and my family.
