When Is It Time to Go Full-Time?

[Encrypted]

I would say, right away!

I'm not going to lie, that's a terrible answer. You'd rather throw everything you have away, a steady job and fixed income, to take a gamble on a brand new business?

Interesting thread! My perspective on this is a little different... I'm working a JOB to put my hubby through school, then he'll go get a JOB and I'll stay home with the kids and part-time the business. I plan on going full-time when either I can't keep up with it or hopefully when the kids are older. Eventually I'll be full time by the time they move out

When you make more money and enjoy more what you are doing. And when you're good to go!

I agree with this. Money and enjoyment should be the deciding factors.

When your business starts to make as much as your day job, then go for it. It's a risk, and that's what entrepreneurs are good at taking.

When you can. Or When you no longer can continue doing what you are if money isn't being made.

I heard it said once that you should always add before you subtract. I'll leave it to you to KNOW when the right time is to move forward. One thing I've learned over many years, is that when I stop thinking thinking thinking and do more "knowing" I do better for me and those around me.

The main reason I started my own business was so I didn't need to work full time!!!

It's time to go full-time when an entrepreneur has 12-18 months of living expenses stashed away in the bank.

It's time for our next Entrepreneur Poll here at YoungEntrepreneur.com. This time our question is: What is it time to go full-time?

Most entrepreneurs start up their own business before taking the leap to quitting their jobs. How do you know when it's time to cut ties with a steady salary and rely on your company to make the money you need?

We would love to hear from full-time entrepreneurs who have already made the plunge as well as part-time entrepreneurs who are hoping to go full-time in the near future.

I'm looking forward to some great feedback!
