September 1, 2009

In such current time and with so much uncertainty, it is pretty tough to determine whether it is the right time to start a business. A lot of people choose to test their business ideas as part time projects and keeping their day job until it gets off the ground. Until a time whereby it’s needed for them to take the giant leap of faith to cross over. Here are some tell tale signs that the time is ripe.

1. Your job environment doesn’t match your personal values. If you are a mismatch in an environment that crashes with your values, trust me, it can vastly take a toll on your emotional health. The good news is that creating your own business gives you the chance to build on those values and follow them daily.

2. You wake up Every day and dragging yourself to work. If wake you daily and hate your job and literally drag yourself to work, then why stay in a job you don’t enjoy? Starting a business allows you to choose your work environment, your hours, even your colleagues.

3. You find yourself pretending to be busy because you refuse to take on more. If you are in this stage whereby you are only pretending to be busy and keep on talking to the only one customer, you are really not helping yourself or your company. If you refuse to take on new customers you are in a serious position to lose your job. Many business-owners would love to have this problem! But unless you find a way to handle these prospects, then you’re in serious danger of losing their business. Having more business than you can manage is an excellent sign if you’re thinking of leaving your job to start your own business.

4. You find yourself doing other things in between meetings, conference calls, even on your commute. This shows that you are thinking of other ways to get out of your job to start your own business. Your heart is not with your company already. It is a clear sign to go.

5. You have saved 6 months to 12 months of your salary. You’re smart enough to know that it could be a few months (or much longer) before you start to turn a profit, and you’ve already planned for that. It is considered fast to turn a profit within a year but possible.

6. You’re are doing a lot of research works and asking business experts for help and reading lots of book on Entrepreneurship. While it’s true that being an entrepreneur can be all-consuming, but you are determine to be successful and be your own boss. It’s time to take control of your life and find a better work/life balance.

7. You’ve found a group of network support. Having supportive people in your life, especially people who know what it takes to run a successful business will prove invaluable. Make sure you’ve built these connections before you make the leap.
