If you're starting your first company, don’t quit your stable 9-to-5 job right away.

Instead, build your startup part-time while keeping your job. This gives you a stable income and helps you:

1. Avoid burnout
2. Last longer in the game
3. Stay focused (instead of being distracted by the next shiny thing)
4. Afford your bills and the tools you need
5. Stay grounded until your startup gains real traction

Once your startup starts generating consistent income, then consider leaving your job.

If this helped, follow me for more hard-earned startup lessons — maybe I can help someone avoid the mistakes I made in my own entrepreneurial journey.
