The internet glamorizes quitting the 9-to-5 for entrepreneurship, but most people are nowhere near ready to run a business. In this episode, Leila breaks down the six signs that determine whether it’s actually time to leave a job. She explains why proof matters more than passion, why emotional stability is a business skill, and why entrepreneurship punishes people who confuse frustration with readiness. The smartest entrepreneurs don’t just leap. They build leverage before they jump.
