In life, we always have choices. Most of the time, these choices are easy to make because we know what we want. If your choice only depends on which one you want, then it easy to decide.
But if you will be compromising one thing when you choose the other, then that’s when choosing becomes difficult. An example of this is the choice between being an employee and being a full-time entrepreneur.
Here are some guides in helping you choose between the two.
1. Determine what you want
First of all, you have to know what you want. If you are deciding to quit your corporate career, you have to make sure that what you are getting yourself into is something you really want. You have to remember that your choice should be realistic and practical for you.

4. Start small
When you take your first step, remember not to aim for the big sales or big moves right away. Doing so may hurt you if you’re not able to reach your aim. Take everything one step at a time, aim for progress. It is not important if you become big right away, what’s more important is that you are improving.

5. Adapt and cope
When you are already there, it’s not all enjoying and relaxing. As they say, entrepreneurship is a 24/7 job. You can’t expect your startup to prosper with you just relaxing and living the big life right away. Adapt to the new lifestyle and cope up with the new schedule.
