There are many good reasons to keep your day job when starting a business. However, the most important reason is that it provide financial stability during a time of transition. By quitting your job and starting your own business, you are taking a big risk with your financial future. Therefore, it is important to weigh the pros and cons carefully before making any decisions.

When you're starting out and have limited capital, it is better to work and earn money through a normal job, than it is to quit that job to start a business, then later find that you have to take on debt or use up all your savings to make it happen. Lynn Smith

If you are thinking about quitting your job to start your own business, you should first test out your idea on the side. While still being paid at your current job, you can run your business and see how it goes. See if you are good at it or if it's something you really want to do. Lynn

There are a lot of reasons to keep your day job when starting a business. For one, it provides a steady income that can be used to fund your business venture. Additionally, it gives you the opportunity to test out your business idea on a smaller scale before quitting your job and going all-in.ย  Lynn Smith
