When does Andy Frisella say to quit a safe job for your dream job?

Andy Frisella's rule is to audit every household expense, then make the jump once the new venture's cash flow covers those bills. He gave it to Josh, a hospice nurse earning about $80,000 who expected close to $100,000 in real estate commissions and was aiming for $400,000. Andy said Josh could already cover his costs and was held back only by not wanting to give up the salary.

• Andy Frisella said that sometimes the jump means a cheaper car or a smaller home for a while.
• Andy Frisella argued that someone giving 60% of their focus cannot beat a competitor giving 100%.
