When To Leap

Many entrepreneurs
straddle two jobs,
the money making day job
and the dream achieving business start up,
until their startups
are ready for full time.

But when are startups
ready for full time?

I make the leap
when the startup
(or my writing career)
covers my bare bone expenses
AND when day job
severely impacts
my entrepreneurial activities.

With my writing career,
I know I should write a short story
and a novella at minimum
every month.
I also have edits and revisions
to turn around
on a timely basis.
If I can’t make these goals,
I consider my writing career
severely impacted.

Going to one source
of rather untested income
is scary,
but that leap has to be done,
or you will stifle your startup’s growth.
Decide in advance
what you need to make that leap
and, when you reach that point,
go for it.
