6 POWERFUL BENEFITS OF QUITTING YOUR JOB AND BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR

Luckily for me, the parachute opened just fine, and I coasted safely to the ground. I was alive, and the thrill was worth every penny. Entrepreneurship feels oddly similar. Quitting your job and jumping into entrepreneurship is a lot like jumping out of a plane and free-falling, wondering whether the parachute will open to save you. It's a scary thing, leaving the comfort of a  9-to-5 job  and venturing into the world of entrepreneurship -- so scary that very few ever overcome the fear enough to take the plunge.So, what's the best way to overcome that fear? It's the same for any fear: Focus on the end results, the benefits, rather than the fearful action.

This is especially true in today's saturated market --  Bowker reveals that 727,125 titles  were released by self-published writers in 2015, and these numbers are only expected to rise. Never before has it been so easy (and so hard) for a previously unknown author to make an entrance in the world of literature.
