When is the right time to go full time - How to decide?

Entrepreneurship is all about being undecided, but then you have to choose wisely.
There is no better alternative to being on the right time, at the right place.

But then, there is also a 'blind leap of faith' involved somewhere.

My questions is -
How does an entrepreneur know that it's time to turn his/her back to a steady salary and rely on your company to make the money you need?

It's a FAQ among young entrepreneurs and start-up owners.

Please put your views forward.

    In early days, Business was capital intensive, whether or not you do any thing. Presently for a new business, you need not have capital in many cases.
    What you need is right amount of experience and knowledge. For that you will need to learn hard, need to get 7-8 years of experience (If you are dreaming big)
    With this, you are up on yourself in 10 years after you have planned to do something of your own. According to me, no matter what is the right time, start working full time when you have enough experience, money is not a consideration here. You can call it a calculated gamble.

    Entrepreneurship, I think, is not about being undecided. It's all about having a definite decision that you think moves you and your venture forward in the way you want it to. When do you decide whether to jump in the water - well, when you know you are ready for it. There will always be an inner voice that will give you the confidence to 'just do it'. I think it was Einstein who said "If you think you can do it or you think you can't do it - you are right". That's it. Check out Steve Job's advise that applies to almost everything you do -



    People, let me just remind you - Do *follow* such advises. Don't just listen to them and forget the next moment.

    It depends on particular thinking & self confidence. If he know that he can get recovered form this current critical situation in future then why to lost his previous hard work? But if he found some major risk or more time required to overcome form current situation. Then move to other work is the good option.😀
