Before You Quit Your Day Job…

by Daria Steigman on October 31, 2008

Thinking of going independent or starting a business? Before you quit your day job, here are a few “top of mind” things to consider:

  • your risk tolerance
  • your comfort level with doing business development
  • your level of discipline
  • your value proposition (why clients should hire you instead of all the other solo practitioners in the marketplace) 

As a would-be entrepreneur, you should also develop a business plan right away–before taking any other steps. Developing a business plan will force you to focus on your goals and what is aspirational, what is achievable in the shorter term, and what resources it will take to succeed.
