Quiting the 9 to 5 job is the first thing a serious business person or an entrepreneur needs to do.

Depending on how my job affects my business and how I want to grow the business I will quit the job at once.

Though I always support the idea of quitting the offline jobs if it affects the online business so much. But care must be taken in order not to regret this because online business is not that reliable most of the time.

If you can handle it without difficulty, don't give up your job. Especially if you are just starting out in business. Remember that there is no certainty when it comes to business, the risk involved is high. Maybe when you realize that the profit entering your business is stable and you need to give up the job, it is possible.

It's said that one needs to get different streams of income in order not to get disappointed when one fails, but I want us to consider a situation whereby an individual makes enough money from his business much more than his monthly income from his job.
Is it advisable for such an individual to quit the job, and focus on growing the business?

If you are in this situation, would you quit your job?

Yes, I prefer my business to every other job, when you work for someone, it is very difficult to maintain your own business. If the business brings in enough money, then quit a job that wouldn't give you time to take good care of your own business.
