Should I withdraw from my classes? Should I quit my day job? These are pressings questions that a lot of people contemplate on a daily basis. In today’s video for our 5 minute consult, I give you 5 questions to ask yourself before quitting your full-time job (to work for yourself full-time).
To keep growing, you must set VERY specific goals.
How many clients do you want per month? How much do you need to be making within 3 months? 6 months? 9 months? By the end of next year? (During this time you need to work on saving 3 – 6 months worth of household expenses).
Set these goals and track them monthly or quarterly. It is EXTREMELY important to measure your results or else you’ll have no idea what works and what doesn’t. A strategy is a plan of action designed to achieve a goal. So, a REAL strategy has a plan and a goal that you can EXECUTE and MEASURE.
Once you’re clear on your numbers (this is the scariest, but the most important part), you can get real about what to do next. Consider joining a community, getting a coaching or finding an accountability partner. It’s really important to be around supportive people when you’re working on making one of the biggest decisions of your life.

#2 How much are you investing in your company? My favorite point. I have been making time for my business but not enough to where it is a major priority. If I put more effort into my business venture, I know it will succeed. Often times I am too busy “brainstorming” that I’m not producing. This video inspired me to dust off my planner and become more organized so that I’m “doing” more than I’m “thinking.” Thank you.
That’s so great, Shalanda! It’s important that we treat our business like a relationship! We have to prioritize it, buy it nice gifts, treat it nicely, etc… If you take care of your business, your business will take care of you. 🙂
