DECISION KIT: SHOULD I LEAVE MY JOB AND START A BUSINESS?

Thinking about leaving your job to start a business?

Before you resign, slow the decision down and examine it properly.

The Should I Leave My Job and Start a Business? — Decision Kit is a structured workbook designed to help you think through the decision from multiple angles without telling you what choice to make.

Instead of relying on excitement, frustration, fear, or pressure, you'll work through your current situation, financial reality, business readiness, risks, and possible future paths.
