Today I got an email from Andrew Seaman, he is an editor in Linkedin news and he mentioned something really interesting: As it seems, a lot of people are waiting for the covid situation to be under control to start exploring new projects and opportunities. In Andrew’s words: “Experts are predicting a Great Resignation”.

This resonated with me. I recently quit my job to focus on my side projects with the hope of starting my own company and becoming my own boss.

Since I did that I got approached by many other peers that were also thinking of doing something similar and I have been meeting a lot of other brilliant entrepreneurs.

Everything is still very recent and I am sure that I will be learning much more in the future but here are the top 3 things I considered before making the decision:

I looked back to the previous six months and figured out, on average, how much was I spending per month. This included rent, groceries, travel, etc… This allowed me to calculate how much money I require per month to keep the same lifestyle and to figure out if I could save money by cutting out a couple of non-necessary amenities.
