Before You Quit Your Job, Watch This First
One of the biggest mistakes people make when starting an online business… is quitting their job too early… Yes, it can feel bold and exciting… But it can put you under the pressure that makes you rush and make poor decisions. Liz and I have seen this many times over the years. The people who keep their job while they learn the skills often make much better decisions. They’re calmer, more selective, and they’re not trying to force the business to replace their income before it’s ready. That’s why I always say: keep your job as your safety blanket while you build. Start small. Stay lean. And prove the model works. Then once you get to around $5,000 a month net, you can quit your job if you want. In this interview, Lucy Wood puts me in the hot seat to talk about the truth behind starting an online business, and the practical steps I’d take to move forward. This is what I’d tell my 30- to 40-year-old self before starting online. #ebusinessinstitute #mattraad #quit9to5job #onlinebusiness #digitalagency #changecareers ----------------------------------------------------- Hi, I’m Matt Raad, co-founder of the eBusiness Institute. If we haven’t met, I help everyday people build digital businesses... often starting as side hustles... and turn them into real assets. I’ve spent 18+ years buying, building, and selling online businesses, and now I focus on teaching practical digital skills that can give you more freedom and more options in life. What I'm passionate about is showing people that you don’t need to follow the traditional path to create wealth. With the right strategy, a digital business can start small and grow into something very significant. If you’re willing to learn and take action, the opportunities are there for you. Those who say it can’t be done usually just haven’t seen what’s possible, but plenty of people are out there doing it already.
