@Brad Mayo this is a great question and great problem! It is also common for people in our age range! Are you ready for a long response :) You really have to ask yourself a couple of questions here and be okay with whatever the real answer is. 1. First, why did you want to start this new business in the first place? Was it because you were checked out of what you were doing? Was it because it was a shiny new object, or something you really wanted to do for yourself and your family and for a deeper reason than what you may even say out loud? 2. Next, you also have to recognize or look at the promotion and ask yourself: Is that a distraction from where you are wanting to build, or is it just part of you continuing to grow and achieve things while you prepare yourself to build something else? Lastly, I would ask myself if my current career is where I see myself through retirement and after. Now, there's no wrong answer here, but it's really just looking into ourselves and what we do want. Now, lastly, it's okay to do both. Just because you want to start a business and you have the promotion coming doesn't mean you have to stop one or the other. You can start putting all the planning, the prep work, all the behind-the-scenes work, and start dialing in on everything that you're going to need so that you minimize the risk of leaving your other job when you go full in on this business......If that's what you decide you want to do. Just be honest with yourself when it comes down to making that decision and really dial in on why you've kind of stalled on the excitement of building something new. That will give you the real answer and the confidence moving forward in whatever you decide. Know that at this time in our life, it is appropriate for us to take slow steps as we build something, because we are balancing a family. We are balancing a full-time career that's paying our bills, and because we have more weighing on us as we make these transitions.
