The sideline business earns much more than the main business. Should I resign?

What if the sideline business is booming? The following is the self-report of a netizen on 19 floor:

Not Versailles, because I made a lot of money from sideline business, but now I'm struggling.

I have been working as a part-time photographer and filmmaker in a small studio for seven or eight years, and my hourly wage has been rising slowly from 20 yuan. I have accumulated many customers over the years. Now I am very diligent. I can earn more than 1 10,000 a month by using all my weekends and evenings.

Children like to take photos of their first birthday with me, and always complain that they can't find me, so they have to make an appointment for a long time to take a photo. Recently, the main work is not going well, and I am very entangled in whether to resign and just take photos.

In the middle years, because of the epidemic, the income was not high, and the photo studio once closed down. There was no income during that time, and I didn't run away purely by friendship. Recently, the market may heat up again. There are more people taking wedding photos, and I have a good reputation in the store. Everyone likes to take photos with me, a little busy. If I can't find someone to replace me at the weekend, our shooting is scheduled in advance, and it may not be appropriate to change the time temporarily.

If you are a customer with a good personality, you may also accept changing the time and come back next time. It is unrealistic to ask people to come back next time when they meet employees from other places, and they are unwilling to take pictures of them. Last time I was in a bad state, I couldn't walk on the road, so I had to ask a foreign customer to come again next time. My junior and I also sent them red envelopes to apologize.

Originally, I wanted to take care of my usual work and amateur photography, but time is getting shorter and shorter. The business received by the company before was quite normal, so there is no need to work overtime. Now some old customers have changed their business and need to confirm each other's needs repeatedly, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Sometimes I get off work after ten o'clock on Friday, and I make an appointment with my client to go out to shoot the next day. If I were young, I could stand working overtime. I'm almost 30 years old this year, and I don't want to live like this. Besides, my sideline salary is much higher than my job salary.

Now the small photo studio has sufficient funds for the time being. However, I still think that the risk of going out of business at any time is a hot potato, which makes people unwilling to partner. The prospect of his store is not as good as my own company. If you can't protect yourself from being dragged into the pit by him, the pressure may become much greater. It's hard.

For this netizen's confusion, other netizens also gave their own views:

@ Ai Mingxi: See what you want. If you want money, you have a sideline. If you want stability and development, you can't lose your main business.

@ Jingjing Jingjing: You will regret which one you chose. You'd better choose the one with more money.

@ 丫丫丫丫丫丫: If you want to be stable, the main business should continue. You also said that the photo studio was at risk of closing down. In addition, in addition to a simple part-time job, you can try to invest a little if you have money. For example, taking 20% of the shares is better than resigning full-time. If you earn it, you really earn it!
