I know the feeling.
That nagging gut instinct telling you that you were meant for more than a 9-to-5.
That burning desire to be your own boss, call your own shots, and finally have the financial freedom that everyone talks about.
But here’s the thing… quitting your job too soon is one of the biggest mistakes most new entrepreneurs make.
❌ They get hyped up by motivational videos.
❌ They take a leap of faith without a safety net.
❌ They think they have to “burn the boats” or it won’t work.
I’m here to tell you there’s a better way.
🔥 A way to quit your job at the RIGHT time, with confidence.
🔥 A way to stack the odds in your favor, so you don’t crash and burn.
🔥 A way to de-risk your journey while still building your dream business.
This post is your step-by-step guide to leaving the 9-to-5 world and going full-time in NetWave the SMART way.
Let’s dive in. 👇
1. Your Job Is Your Best Resource (Don’t Rush to Quit It!)
I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but your job is actually a huge advantage.
📌 It pays your bills while you build your business.
📌 It gives you structure so you don’t feel desperate.
📌 It keeps you from making bad decisions out of financial panic.
So instead of seeing your job as a prison, start seeing it as an investor.
💡 Your job is funding your business.
💡 Your paycheck is buying you time to test and refine.
💡 Your 9-to-5 gives you the stability to take risks in your side hustle.
The goal isn’t to quit right away. The goal is to use your job as leverage.
2. The $3,000 Rule: Your First Milestone to Quitting With Confidence
One of the biggest mistakes people make?
They quit their $100,000 job before they’re making even $1,000/month in their business.
💀 That’s a recipe for disaster.
Here’s the simple rule I followed before quitting my last job:
🚀 Make at least $3,000/month from my side hustle BEFORE quitting.
Why $3,000?
📌 Because that covered my rent, food, and basic expenses.
📌 Because that meant I could survive without stress.
📌 Because that gave me proof that my business was legit.
If you can’t make $3,000/month part-time, what makes you think quitting will magically fix that?
3. How to Build Your Side Hustle While Working a 9-to-5
Now, you might be thinking:
“But Noah, I barely have time as it is! How do I grow NetWave while working full-time?”
Here’s the deal:
📌 You don’t need to work 12-hour days to make this work.
📌 You don’t need to sacrifice your family, social life, or mental health.
📌 You just need a structured approach that maximizes the time you do have.
Here’s the system I used to build my business while still employed:
🔥 Step 1: Find 60 minutes per day.
📌 Wake up 30 minutes earlier.
📌 Use your lunch break to send follow-ups.
📌 Cut one Netflix episode and use that time to build.
🔥 Step 2: Focus on Income-Producing Activities.
📌 Skip the logo, the website, the fancy branding.
📌 Only spend time on activities that get leads and close sales.
📌 Treat your business like a business, not a hobby.
🔥 Step 3: Get to $3,000/month as fast as possible.
📌 Make a list of 100 people you can talk to TODAY.
📌 Use NetWave’s proven scripts and outreach templates.
📌 Close your first 5-10 customers and scale from there.
4. The Hidden Cost of Quitting Too Soon
Here’s the thing no one tells you about quitting your job too early…
❌ It makes you desperate.
❌ It forces you to make bad business decisions.
❌ It adds unnecessary stress to your entrepreneurial journey.
When you quit your job before you’re financially ready:
📌 You start chasing customers instead of attracting them.
📌 You get needy, and people can smell desperation from a mile away.
📌 You take short-term cash instead of building a long-term brand.
And let’s be real—the stress of not knowing how you’ll pay rent kills creativity.
💡 That’s why I tell people: DO NOT QUIT UNTIL YOU’RE READY.
Use your 9-to-5 as a financial safety net while you build your empire.
5. When It’s Finally Time to Quit (The Moment You’ll Know)
🔥 You’re making at least $3,000/month consistently from NetWave.
🔥 You have a repeatable system that brings in leads and sales.
🔥 You have at least 6 months of savings as a backup.
At that point?
🚀 Pull the trigger.
🚀 Quit your job with confidence.
🚀 Go all-in knowing you’ve built a real, sustainable business.
💡 By then, it won’t feel like a leap of faith. It’ll feel like a natural next step.
Make This Real Today
Most people will read this and do nothing.
But the smart ones?
📌 They take action today.
📌 They start laying the foundation now.
📌 They commit to making their dream business a reality.
So, here’s your next move:
📌 If you’re working a job, start building your NetWave business now.
📌 Get to $3,000/month while still employed.
📌 Then quit with confidence and never look back.
Your dream business isn’t waiting for you.
It’s waiting for you to start. 🚀
