What did you do after quitting your job to go full-time on your business?

Advice

Hi everyone,

Need advice from people na nag-quit ng job para mag-focus full-time sa business.

For context, kakastart ko lang sa new job pero narealize ko agad na hindi pala new work ang solution for me. Ever since I started, parang sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko and I've been crying a lot. I don't enjoy doing repetitive work and feeling ko hindi ko nagagamit yung full potential ko.

We already have a construction business that's running. May ongoing projects, may weekly sales, and nakakapasweldo na kami ng small team. The business can sustain itself (recently andami nasasayang na clients kasi di kami full time ng partner ko) pero personally wala pa akong malaking ipon.

The good side is:
- Wala akong kids.
- Wala pa akong sariling family.
- Ang main responsibility ko lang sa bahay is electricity.
- I can pay myself a salary from the business.

Part of me feels na ito na yung best time to take the risk habang mababa pa responsibilities ko. Pero syempre nakakatakot pa rin umalis sa stable paycheck.

For those who made the jump:
- Ano situation niyo before kayo nag-quit?
- May target savings ba kayo?
- Any regrets or things you wish you knew earlier?
- Based on my situation, do you think kaya ko bang i-survive?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences. 🙏🥲
