Don’t Quit Your Day Job (Yet)
Do  you  have  bills,  small  kids  or  a  spouse  to  provide  for?  If  you  quit  your  job
because  you  want  to  spend  all  day  alone  with  your  side  project,  expect  to  hear

---

from your bank manager.
Here’s the thing:
Your  main  gig  is  giving  you  a  fantastic  opportunity  to  play  with  a  side
project  early  in  the  morning  or  late  at  night.  Even  if  it  doesn’t  fire  you  up,  it’s
keeping the lights on at home.
You have freedom and licence to work on your side project without fear of
failure because your main gig is taking care of business.
But what if you can afford to quit the day job and work on your side project
all day?
Once you do this, your side project becomes your new job.
You’ll have to finish it, ensure it pays the bills and keeps the lights on. You
won’t  be  free  to  take  as  many  creative  risks  or  experiment,  and  there  will  be
things about your side project that you won’t enjoy, but you’ll have to do them if
you want to feed your family.
