Stop making excuses! You’ve got everything you need to start a business - full-time job or not.

But here's where the first time sidepreneur usually falls at the first hurdle: you don’t have to quit your full-time job to make your idea a reality. Keep your full-time job and develop your idea on the side until it is market-ready.

The only thing you need is to be committed to your product/idea and believe in it!
