Should you quit your job for self-employment. Or do you just want the idea of it?
Self-employment, consulting, freelancing, starting something - whichever shape. The real question isn't about leaving your job. It's three things most people avoid thinking about: do you actually have an idea or just a feeling. Can you pay for the transition. And can you handle it if it doesn't work. This is a short, honest test. Six questions. Real clarity.
Nothing is saved. Nothing is sent. Just clarity, for you.
How it's scored: six questions across clarity, financial stability, and risk tolerance — a self-report snapshot to prompt reflection, not financial or career advice.
Six honest questions
Can you state, in one sentence today, exactly what you'd be selling and who would buy it?
No "consulting". That's a category, not an offer. The test: would a specific person reading the sentence know whether to write you a check?
In the last 90 days, how many people have actually paid you or signed a written commitment to pay for something close to this offer?
Token amounts count. Free pilots don't. Encouragement from your network doesn't. The wallet is the only honest signal.
If your paycheque stopped today, how many months of all fixed expenses can you cover from liquid savings alone?
Rent or EMI, insurance, groceries, school fees, family commitments. No credit cards, no family loans, no asset sale, no "I'll move in with parents."

If your venture produces zero revenue for 18 months, do you have a named, realistic bridge? Not "I'll figure it out"?
Examples of real bridges: 12 months of saved expenses + a half-day-a-week consulting pipeline; a confirmed angel commitment with a written term; a working partner whose income holds household fixed. Examples that don't count: "I might do some freelance work", "my family will help if needed", "I'll dip into PPF."
If this didn't work and you had to go back to employment in 18 months, do you have a frank sentence. One you'd actually say out loud to a peer. For what happened?
Not "things didn't work out." A real sentence. Most people who quit successfully had this sentence before they quit. Most who unravel didn't.
The week your first major bet fails publicly. A launch that flops, a client that walks, a number you publicly missed. Do you know which specific named person you'd call before midnight?
Not "supportive friends" generically. One actual name. Bonus if you've already told them they'll be that person.

Your dominant gap — close this first
This is the single axis pulling your overall readiness down the most. Closing it gives you more upside than working on anything else for the next 90 days.
