Having never done this myself, I have to ask: Shouldn't the normal order of process be: 1) have an idea, 2) quit job to work on it full time, 3) profit! It seems to me like your #1 and #2 are swapped. That doesn't mean it won't work out for you, though. :)
- cousin_it 17y agoI have three months to think of an idea, surely that should be enough for us :-)
- amirnathoo 17y agoIsn't a more common order 1) unsettled in job, have an idea 2) quit to work on it full time 3) realize the original idea sucks and zero in on a new one through trial and error 4) profit! In which case, skipping step 1 doesn't seem too harmful to the process.
- MichaelApproved 17y ago1) have an idea 2) have an idea 3) work on it WHILE still holding your job 4) quit job only when you're ready to ramp up the project You're in for a big surprise if you think you're going to get more freedom while running your own business. A key part of running your own business is being able to accept feedback. Notice that instead of giving you an idea most people are telling you that you might be making a mistake. Reconsider this decision. By all means start your own business but come up with an idea and develop it a little before you quit your job.
