Thanks for writing this article. I know it is exciting to start up your own business and it can take hold of you. Sorry to hear it had a negative impact but you can always try again! It is tough because you should be dumping profits into the business while starting up, but instead they are being used to pay bills instead of growth due to the lack of a day job. They key is to actually start up before you quit your job. I have been tolerating mine for 2 years while I started my business. I knew that once there was enough profit to expand, and supplement my salary at the same time, then I would be ready. It’s tough to see a half million dollars worth of inventory in front of your face that is money you will never be able to touch, while going to bed at 3am every night managing everything. Instead, it is a tool that you are building to make steady money for a long time and save up to have respectable wealth. I am dangerously close to quitting my job seamlessly into the new business and couldnt be happier! You should re-group, test out your strategy while you commit to your day job, and then quit when your business tax return salary is equal to your current employment salary. Plus in the meantime you will save a bunch of money due to dual incomes =) Hope this helps!
