I Quit My Job… Now What? The Truth About Starting from Scratch
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Quitting your job is one thing. Figuring out what comes next is another.
In episode 57 of Start It or Scrap It, we talk through the reality that hits after you walk away from a steady paycheck and try to launch your first product. The uncertainty. The fear. The slow starts. And the mindset shifts that actually matter if you want to survive the early stages of building something on your own.
We break down:
- What the “post-quit” phase really feels like
- Why early traction is often slower than expected
- How niche products can still be real businesses
- What success actually looks like in the first year
- Why most people underestimate how hard this stage is
If you’re thinking about quitting your job, already did, or are somewhere in that uncomfortable middle ground, this episode will feel very familiar.
