Sometimes,
when we study hard and get some sort of opportunities in respect to
salary packages, positions, and safe future, we drive our self to that
corporate life but with the time, you start feeling that it’s not your
cup of tea. You start thinking that you should do
business rather than the boring corporate job and probably, that’s the
reason you are on this page and reading this article. Quitting your
boring corporate career is always a difficult thing to do; either you
are 21 years old young guy or you are 45 years old man having 2 kids. A 21 year old has to look for his own
pocket money, needs to complete his family demands or have many
questions for their future whereas a 45 year old guy has to look after
their family, kids and saving plans for the future of his family. In both the cases, quitting the job
is very tough but if you follow the way I did for quitting my boring
corporate career then you will be in a better position to successfully
launch your own business.

If you are in your 20s, you should not worry about money. Your primary focus to learn about is the relationship.
Yes! Build relationships. Every person has a few comfortable friends in
their life but doesn’t stick to them! Go and meet new people, someone
older or wiser. Connect yourself to the industry
peoples, don’t drag yourself directly into business. Know the more
wealthiest guy in your community and take your time for picking a
decision. This is what I personally did in my life and achieved the
taste of success. Secondly, my focus was to keep myself
engaged with novels, biographies and keep learning from them. Don’t
stop reading, learning, asking questions and challenging yourself. When you leave your corporate job,
you leave your monthly salary. Now, you are in the business where you
have to invest, wait and watch, keep hustling, no office time and keep
learning from your failures. Most importantly, you have to follow your
passion and never quit once you are in.
Question yourself
Yes, Ask Yourself! Do you want to
quit the job or do you need to quit the job? There is always a
difference in these two and you need to keep yourself straight and
forward about your thinking. If you are bored from your corporate job, start preparing yourself for launching your own business. There is a timeframe for everything.
Don’t quit the job just because you have motivation or an idea to start
the business. Sometimes, an idea is not enough and you need to have
proper plan/knowledge for proceeding with business.
Here are 4 questions to ask yourself before you make the decision to leave:
1. Are you ready to live without money for 2-3 years?
You might have a good investment for
now but with the launching and for carrying out this business, you may
not have a sufficient balance for your daily life. Are you ready to give your time and money for the next 2-3 years
at least? A job could provide you sustained income but that’s not true
with a startup. It’s not about money only, you might not be able to find
time for your family. are you ready for that?
2. Any evidence or proof that you could trust in your business idea?
If you are bringing something new to the market, what’s your Unique Selling Point (USP) and
how will you market your service or product? Do you have any sort of
evidence or proof that your idea or business will fly up high?
3. What if some sort of obstacle comes your way and doesn’t get solved?
While doing business, we start facing
problems within or outside the market. We start competing for the
market. It might be possible that they can provide some better packages
in terms of price or service so what would you do? What would you do if
you face any legal issues? Are you the person who loves to solve the
problems? If you are honest and have paused in
answering these questions, then think about looking for a different job
which is fascinating or interesting than starting a business.
“Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.” – Robert Schuller
4. What should you do before quitting your job?
There is a word “Time Management”.
Whenever you start doing more than 2 things, you need to manage the time
accordingly. You need to increase your work efficiency, start working
on your idea till late night and get as many pros and cons as much you
can. Start meeting new and wiser people,
communicating with them and start making a relationship. Sometimes, your
connection with them is more than enough for running your startup. While planning for launching your own startup, think about:
What to do?
When to do?
How to do?
Start making short goals, achieve them and then admire by gifting something to yourself. Short goals will lead you to fulfill your dream.
Make your daily tasks, complete them and then go for the next one.
Once you are 100% sure about your working plan, leave the corporate
boring job and start hustling into the business world. This is what I did for myself and
that’s why I recommended you to look at these things. My motto was not
here to demotivate or motivate you but to keep you straight with the
points.

You feel lost and there’s no way back, however the universe can work wonders and it is not over when you think it is. The past 6 months were one of the hardest times of my life. Friendships that were false and toxic, a family relative passing away; it was a tough time for me and my family. Life took an interesting twist after I had just settled into a different city with a new job. With reasons beyond my control I found myself stuck in another city and so desperately wanted to come back. It was at this point that I would describe as hitting rock bottom. I grew an attachment to people in the world that are going through much worse than me; my wake-up call. I learnt that even at the point where you feel your weakest things can change for the better. I was able come back to my home city after...

This turned out to be wrong. Further studies discovered numerous factors that predicted success, including willpower and emotional intelligence (EQ). These other factors are still under-emphasized to this day. Here are 10 reasons why intelligent people underperform : 1 . They Over-Analyze Intelligence actually works as a stumbling block for social interactions. The smarter you are, the more capable you are to over-prepare and over-analyze. Dumb people actually have an advantage because they aren’t even aware of the consequences. They just go in and talk to people. This lets them stay relaxed and confident, which improve their results. So how do you solve this? Take one piece of social skills advice at a time. Focus on just improving executing on it because it avoid...
