Thoughts on quitting job (alien.top)

Thoughts on quitting job? I have started an e-commerce business. In my first month I have made about 80% of my job income in profit (which is higher than my monthly expenses). My job is sucking the soul out of me and I have 0 motivation there. One upside is I have a a lot of time to slack off and work on the business while at work.

The rational move would be to stick out the job until I have out earned my job income consistently for X months and have x months savings in the bank. I probably have about 4 months savings right now.

However, I dread going to work every single morning. My sole goal is to get out of this job as soon as possible. I’m even willing to get a part time job to supplement my new business earnings.

Does anyone have any advice for me?

I think the smartest thing to do is continue to do the job for couple of more months. Jumping from a full-time employee to entrepreneurship is tough for anyone. Even tougher for first time entrepreneur. I, myself experienced that very same thing. I'm in ecommerce too. Whilst we're at it, I found a good read, check it out when you have time.
