Hi Janive,
The question you ask has a different answer for each person. It really depends on your situation. If you currently have a job that would allow you to start your medical billing business part time then I would think that would be a great option. You will be able to keep your income while working on building your business. Not everyone has that option. It may take you a little longer to build up your business since you won't be able to work at it full time, but getting started can be difficult. Sometimes taking it slow is a better option.
But for others, jumping in with both feet works and that is the way they want it. Putting 100% in right away and building up fast.
It really depends on your circumstances and your personality. When we started our business I kept my full time job for about 7 months before quitting. Then I found I couldn't do what needed to be done to grow to where we wanted it to grow.
Best of luck to you.
