I have Robert Plank’s blog in Google Reader and read an interesting post about quitting your day job. In it he mentioned Eric Holmlund’s day job quitting questionnaire. I searched for the original source for this questionnaire, but didn’t find it. Since Robert published his answers, I thought I could at least list the questions here.
- Is your job hurting you?
- Do you have a vision and a solid plan for your business?
- Do you already have a written goal for quitting your job?
- Are you committed to the business? (Required)
- What do you have to lose? (If you have little or nothing to lose, it’s a good time to quit)
- How long will your savings last?
- How much income is your business bringing in?
- What are you willing to sacrifice?
- Do you trust your gut? (And is it usually right?)
- Will you dare to do what others only dream of?
These 10 questions look like they cover the important points for making this decision. I’m not quite ready to answer these questions yet. I will start thinking about them. What about you?
