Think you’re ready to step away from the corporate grind and pursue your passion fulltime? Here are 5 signs you might be ready!
1. You work on your side-gig at work
If you’re sitting at your 9-5 wielding phone calls and emails, spending time brainstorming for your next product launch, and designing your marketing platform all for your side-gig; it may be time to move on and make it fulltime.
2. Your side-gig has become a fulltime job outside of your day job
If you’re putting in 40 hours at your day job and then moonlighting another 40 hours, that’s 80 hours of work! Over the long haul that can be difficult to sustain, usually something needs to give. It may be the right time to leave the corporate grind behind!
3. You’re making as much money as (or more than) your day job
If your side-gig is able to financially match what you’re making at your day job, you should consider what you could do if you gave it your full attention!
4. You have a long-term vision
You’ve mapped out the future of your side-gig 6 months to 2 years out. You have a plan. This is a good indication that it is more than a hobby. Planning is a sign that you want to see where it can go.
5. It’s exciting!
The idea of working on your side-gig is thrilling and gets you out of bed in the morning. You are passionate about it and you feel like you’re thinking about it all the time. This excitement is a good sign that you are motivated and ambitious and ready to take it to the next level!
