A listener wants to know: “With the downturn in this economy, should I quit my job?”

Side note, when you send me these questions, include some detail about your business so I can be more helpful. But I think I still have a good general answer with some questions you can ask yourself when facing this issue during the difficult time that we’re all in.
"Hi, Chris. This is Sanjay from New York. I'm listening to the show for a while now and this is my first chance actually to ask a question.

But on the other hand, I recognize there's never really a good time to take a leap of faith. And sometimes down moments are actually when, you know, when the greatest opportunities arise.
