How to Quit Your Boring Corporate Job and Successfully Launch Your Own Business

Published

on

Sometimes, when we study hard and get some sort of opportunities in respect to salary packages, positions, and safe future, we drive our self to that corporate life but with the time, you start feeling that it’s not your cup of tea.

You start thinking that you should do business rather than the boring corporate job and probably, that’s the reason you are on this page and reading this article. Quitting your boring corporate career is always a difficult thing to do; either you are 21 years old young guy or you are 45 years old man having 2 kids.

A 21 year old has to look for his own pocket money, needs to complete his family demands or have many questions for their future whereas a 45 year old guy has to look after their family, kids and saving plans for the future of his family.

In both the cases, quitting the job is very tough but if you follow the way I did for quitting my boring corporate career then you will be in a better position to successfully launch your own business.

“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.” – Jeff Bezos

If you are in your 20s, you should not worry about money. Your primary focus to learn about is the relationship. Yes! Build relationships. Every person has a few comfortable friends in their life but doesn’t stick to them! Go and meet new people, someone older or wiser.

Connect yourself to the industry peoples, don’t drag yourself directly into business. Know the more wealthiest guy in your community and take your time for picking a decision. This is what I personally did in my life and achieved the taste of success.

Secondly, my focus was to keep myself engaged with novels, biographies and keep learning from them. Don’t stop reading, learning, asking questions and challenging yourself.

When you leave your corporate job, you leave your monthly salary. Now, you are in the business where you have to invest, wait and watch, keep hustling, no office time and keep learning from your failures. Most importantly, you have to follow your passion and never quit once you are in.

Question yourself

Yes, Ask Yourself! Do you want to quit the job or do you need to quit the job? There is always a difference in these two and you need to keep yourself straight and forward about your thinking.

If you are bored from your corporate job, start preparing yourself for launching your own business. There is a timeframe for everything. Don’t quit the job just because you have motivation or an idea to start the business. Sometimes, an idea is not enough and you need to have proper plan/knowledge for proceeding with business.

Here are 4 questions to ask yourself before you make the decision to leave:

1. Are you ready to live without money for 2-3 years?

You might have a good investment for now but with the launching and for carrying out this business, you may not have a sufficient balance for your daily life. Are you ready to give your time and money for the next 2-3 years at least? A job could provide you sustained income but that’s not true with a startup. It’s not about money only, you might not be able to find time for your family. are you ready for that?

2. Any evidence or proof that you could trust in your business idea?

If you are bringing something new to the market, what’s your Unique Selling Point (USP) and how will you market your service or product? Do you have any sort of evidence or proof that your idea or business will fly up high?

3. What if some sort of obstacle comes your way and doesn’t get solved?

While doing business, we start facing problems within or outside the market. We start competing for the market. It might be possible that they can provide some better packages in terms of price or service so what would you do? What would you do if you face any legal issues? Are you the person who loves to solve the problems?

If you are honest and have paused in answering these questions, then think about looking for a different job which is fascinating or interesting than starting a business.

“Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.” – Robert Schuller

4. What should you do before quitting your job?

There is a word “Time Management”. Whenever you start doing more than 2 things, you need to manage the time accordingly. You need to increase your work efficiency, start working on your idea till late night and get as many pros and cons as much you can.

Start meeting new and wiser people, communicating with them and start making a relationship. Sometimes, your connection with them is more than enough for running your startup.

While planning for launching your own startup, think about:

  • What to do?
  • When to do?
  • How to do?

Start making short goals, achieve them and then admire by gifting something to yourself. Short goals will lead you to fulfill your dream.  Make your daily tasks, complete them and then go for the next one. Once you are 100% sure about your working plan, leave the corporate boring job and start hustling into the business world.

This is what I did for myself and that’s why I recommended you to look at these things. My motto was not here to demotivate or motivate you but to keep you straight with the points.

What is your experience from leaving your corporate job to starting your own business? Please leave your thoughts below!

These 11 Habits Will Make You More Productive, Successful, and Confident

Boost your focus, confidence, and results with 11 powerful habits successful people use every day.

Successful people love to help beginners. They have an incredible work ethic and rarely complain. As a result, others naturally look up to them and want to follow in their footsteps.

But here’s the truth: there’s no success without sacrifice. You’ll need to give up comfort, excuses, and sometimes even social approval to accomplish your goals.

Value comes from solving problems, and these 11 powerful tips will help you become more productive, successful, and confident, starting today.

1. Take Short Breaks After Finishing a Task

Psychology shows it’s important to reward positive behaviour.

After completing a big task or finishing a book, take five minutes to walk, stretch, or simply breathe. This quick reset helps your brain recharge and strengthens focus.

Many great writers swear by morning walks, solitude, and reflection can unlock creativity.

But if you refuse to take breaks, don’t be surprised when burnout hits. Your brain needs recovery time just as much as your body does.

2. Schedule Your Most Important Tasks First

Multitasking kills productivity. If you want to get more done, try time blocking, a method where you dedicate set periods for specific tasks.

Productivity expert Caitlin Hughes explains, “Time blocking involves scheduling blocks of time for your tasks throughout the day.”

For example, if you’re a writer:

  • Research your topic at night.

  • Write your first draft in the morning (don’t worry if it’s rough).

  • Edit in the afternoon, great writing comes from rewriting.

You can’t buy more time. Use it intentionally and without regret.

3. Eliminate Distractions from Your Workspace

Focus is the foundation of success.

According to Inc. Magazine, it takes an average of 23 minutes to recover from a distraction. That’s nearly half an hour of lost productivity every time you check your phone.

Put your phone away. Close unnecessary tabs. And yes, limit your Netflix binges.

Meeting deadlines consistently is one of the fastest ways to stand out and earn respect.

4. Take Full Responsibility for Your Life

Entrepreneur Derek Sivers once said, “Everything is my fault.”

This mindset doesn’t mean self-blame; it means self-ownership. Stop pointing fingers, making excuses, or waiting for others to change.

If your habits (like smoking or drinking too much) hold you back, it’s time to make better choices. Your friends can’t live your dreams for you; only you can.

5. Invest an Hour a Day in Learning New Skills

Knowledge compounds over time.

Whether you read books, take online courses, or practise a craft, consistent learning gives you a competitive edge.

I used to struggle with academic writing, but I improved by studying the work of great authors and applying what I learned.

Your past doesn’t define you; your actions do. Every new skill adds another tool to your arsenal and makes you more unstoppable.

6. Develop a Growth Mindset

Psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck introduced the concept of fixed vs. growth mindset.

  • A fixed mindset believes success is based on natural talent.

  • A growth mindset believes success comes from effort and learning.

Choose the growth mindset. Embrace challenges. See failures as feedback. In today’s fast-moving digital world, adaptability is your biggest advantage.

7. Learn Marketing to Reach People Who Need You

I once believed marketing was manipulative, until I realised it’s about helping people solve problems.

If your work provides genuine value, marketing is how you let others know it exists. Even Apple spends billions on it.

Don’t be ashamed to promote your skills or business. Without visibility, your ideas will never reach the people who need them most.

Creative professionals who understand marketing and sales have an unfair advantage.

8. Ask Your Mentor the Right Questions

Good mentors can fast-track your growth.

While mentorship often costs money, it’s one of the best investments you can make. Great mentors don’t care about titles; they care about your progress.

If you don’t have access to a mentor yet, books are your silent mentors. Read the best in your field, take notes, and apply what resonates.

9. Build Confidence Through Action, Not Affirmations

Author Ryan Holiday once said, “I don’t believe in myself. I have evidence.”

Confidence doesn’t come from shouting affirmations into the mirror; it comes from proof. Doing hard things, keeping promises to yourself, and following through.

When you consistently take action, your brain gathers evidence that you can handle whatever comes next. That’s real confidence, grounded, earned, and unshakable.

10. Focus on Your Strengths

Your strengths reveal where your greatest impact lies.

If people compliment you on something often, it’s a clue. Lean into it.

A former professor once told me I was creative, and that simple comment gave me the confidence to go all in. I studied creativity, applied it daily, and turned it into my career advantage.

Double down on your strengths. That’s how you build momentum and mastery.

11. Identify and Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs

Your beliefs shape your reality.

For years, I believed I couldn’t be a great writer because of my chronic tinnitus and astigmatism, sensory challenges that made concentration difficult. But over time, I realised those struggles made me more disciplined, observant, and empathetic.

Your limitations can become your greatest motivators if you let them.

Avoid shortcuts. Growth takes time, but it’s always worth it.

Final Thoughts

Becoming productive, successful, and confident isn’t about working harder than everyone else. It’s about working smarter, consistently, and intentionally.

You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Start small: take a break after your next task, schedule your priorities, or spend one hour learning something new.

Every habit you change compounds into long-term success. Remember, true change comes from practising new behaviours.
