7 Questions to Ask Before Quitting Your Job

The 7 Questions...
...I asked myself before I quit my job to set up my own business

This month I finally took the plunge and quit my day job so that I can focus 100% on launching my jewellery business.

Before I came to the decision of leaving my full time job, I had to ask myself 7 questions:
  1. Have I stayed motivated in developing this business for at least 3 months?
  2. Do others believe that I have the skills, and does the market has the need for my business?
  3. Has at least 3 people purchased something from me?
  4. Can I sustain 4 months without a salary and still pay my mortgage?
  5. If the business failed to take off, will I be able to find a job within 4-6 months?
  6. Will I regret it if I don't take this chance?
  7. Will I be a happier person if I pursue this business?
After I confidently answered 'Yes' to all these questions, I knew that it was the right decision.

The most important question to me was number 7. To me happiness is the most important consideration as there are ways to work around everything else.

Is there anything you would add to this list?
