How Do You Quit Your Job?


You'd be surprised how many people need to know how to quit their jobs. So, how do you quit your job? Yeah, they know how to resign from their jobs, but quit it? You need to quit your job for good if you want to launch out full-swing into business. Burn your bridges so you won't have any means to go back the way you came from.

Start Part-Time

Don't quit your job pronto. Keep at it while you start your business part-time. Do it before or after office or during your free time. If you need to set appointments do it during your coffee breaks. Then meet with them during your longer breaks or after office hours. At least, you have your monthly pay supporting you as you prepare being full-time in business.

If you need to do long hours of business, set it ahead of time and look for an opportunity when your work isn't hectic and you won't be needed much in the office. Then schedule that day and file for leave. Make full use of that day. Or, bless you if you have no work on Saturdays. This is a good time to do everything needed for your fledgling business. 

As your business grows, prepare for resigning. Do it gracefully. Make sure you leave no work pending. And give the office enough time to pick your replacement and orient him or her. Then quit your job. Make sure the deals in your new business come in regularly and able to support you before you resign. How do you quit your job? Make wise preparations, that's how. 

And once you quit, give your new business your best shot. Don't think that you can always go back to your job once things get bad. Dismiss that option. If you keep thinking that way, you won't be able to give your business your best shot. Options like that are wrongly timed. Give yourself zero options first. But also make sure that you're not so stressed up by it. What's a business for if it'd just ruin your life?

And before all the above, do your homework first. Research. See how viable the business is and how you'd figure lucratively in it. How profitable is it and how responsive is the market? Can a real need possibly be created? Try selling some of the product and see how the sales come in. Or try doing small business presentations now and then.


How do you quit your job? Give it a thorough feasibility study because, remember, it will affect a lot of things and lives around you. And if after your best efforts everything still fails, don't blame yourself or anyone. Failure is part of success and maturity. And always make God your business companion. Not that God will make everything work, but he can turn even hopeless things work in your favor in some way.

If you think you need to go back to your job after failing, then do it. Then start allover again and try again.
