What are you waiting for?If you’ve been thinking about starting a business, perhaps you’re waiting for “just the right time.” But is there ever such a thing as just the right time to go into business for yourself? Sometimes it’s the right time, and you’re not even aware of it.
When I launched my own company, it wasn’t a result of great planning. Like many others, I was stuck in a job I didn’t like, burned out. But I didn’t know what to do instead. And I had been taught, “Never leave a job until you get another one.”
So I kept going to work – dreading every Sunday night because it meant another long work week of drudgery. I was young but felt old. I didn’t want another job in my same field. I didn’t want to go back to school. I had reached a dead end.
Then my mother died. Young. Her death added to my personal turmoil, but also served as a reminder that life is short. Without knowing what I’d do next, I resigned.
