You have a job, but should you resign to follow you dreams? Let me answer this in the most realistic way.
You must understand one thing clearly. Life is cruel! If you take risks, it’s your responsibility. Not because of me or anyone else. It’s your choices and those choices have consequences. That’s why you can ruin your life for the sake of a dream. Be wise. Do not think with your emotions. Use your emotions to think!
Short answer. No! Don’t quit your job to chase a dream. Because if you quit your job, you win or lose 50% of the time. But there are hidden elements in this equation. Like X and Y. Your experience is a hidden element. If you don’t have experience, the 50 percent rate will drop more. If you do things outside your field, the rate will drop again. Even if you do it in your field, knowledge and patience in different disciplines will come into play. Of course, there is also a luck factor.
Even though it is said that there is no luck, there is a piece of luck, but a very small piece of luck. You do not choose where you are born. This is a chance. Similar events are also luck.
Increase The Win Rate Despite Everything
At 50 percent, you either win or lose. Most of them don’t have 50%. They start with 20%. Maybe 10 percent. Let’s do the minimum. If you had a 1 percent chance of winning, would you want to start with that? Don’t quit your job to increase your chances. Do your job but develop your product in your spare time. Until the money you earn from the product exceeds your own salary, then you can consider leaving. But don’t try it until then.
Some people can have a high winning rate because they participate at different rates. They may even try it because they have enough network. In any case, remember this. This is a big decision and don’t make a childish decision without sitting and thinking. Do not make decisions with your emotions! Don’t make decisions at night!
Do not make decisions at night because your body reduces serotonin at night so that you sleep comfortably, that is, it reduces the happiness hormone. This makes you unhappy. Making decisions when you are unhappy can create results you never want.
