If you are thinking about quitting your job, there are various things you should consider before taking that leap to follow your dreams.

According to Steve Belanger, who ditched his six-figure salary to follow his dreams, one should be clear about the reason why they want to quit their current job and try something else, News.com.au reported.

People should also consider if they can test the waters of their new career from the safety of their old one, as they shouldn't end up going to another job they would hate with a lot of extra risk thrown in.

Belanger said that that it is important to know if a person really has what it takes to make it in their dream career and its great to have conviction, faith and confidence in themselves, but there's no guarantee that doing it full time will make them any better.

He added one should have a solid base of support, someone who believes in them unconditionally and who will support in success and failure.
