Becoming an entrepreneur brings a host of challenges, but if these are addressed properly, there is an ability to achieve success. Often, new entrepreneurs already have steady long-term jobs before the idea of becoming a new business comes to mind. However, nurturing the concept to reality and success requires full and complete dedication, which necessitates quitting an existing job and total focus on the entrepreneur's new ideas and inventions..
Quitting a job means cutting a main line of sustainable income. Even if the business idea is feasible, years will be required before the entrepreneur can draw significant income or revenue from their new venture. To prepare for this, an entrepreneur needs sufficient amount of money and a backup plan to sustain their lifestyle for the years it will take to draw significant income or revenue from their new venture. It is also important that they also maintain good relationship with their current employer when quitting their job, since the future is uncertain. In some situations, the new venture could even benefit by partnership with the previous employer.
