Guide - Petruța Țuliga

Feeling stuck between your job and entrepreneurship? Leap with confidence.

What if, a year from now, they call you CEO? It starts today.

You’ve spent months (or maybe years) thinking about starting your business, but you’re still stuck in the same spot.

Meanwhile, time keeps passing, and your dreams stay ideas. You see others making moves, but you’re still hesitating.

What if, a year from now, you’re in the exact same place—still overthinking, still unsure? That stops today.

Nine years ago, I was in the same position. I wondered if I should wait for a better time—what if I failed and people laughed at me? What if I wasn’t good enough, and I’d be so mortified that I’d never leave my home again? Not to mention, how the heck would I deal with all those legal taxes and ANAF phone calls?

I felt caught between the comfort of a steady paycheck and a great team, and my vision for a better lifestyle—the craving to create something of my own.

In my head, two voices were fighting: one telling me to stay right where I was because at least I had something, and the other screaming YOLO, feeding me images of myself on a beach in the Maldives and making it to Forbes 30 Under 30.

The second voice won—and I JUMPED.

But little did I know back then that this voice wasn’t one of wisdom, but of fantasy that didn’t make me think things through.

So I jumped without analyzing where I was, what my risk profile was, what stage my business was in, or how much I needed to survive.

I’m all for bold decisions, and I’m a sucker for the hero’s journey we see in movies. But what movies don’t tell us is how many other things need to happen behind the scenes for that hero to succeed.

After going through all of this myself, I realized something: the difference between struggling for years and making a smooth transition comes down to having a plan. That’s why I put together this guide. I wish to give you the clarity I wanted to have nine years ago when I was in your shoes and to guide you to become the hero of your story but without the open wounds.

What you’ll get inside this 100-page guide:

In 1 year, you could be running your own business—on your terms, making money doing something you love. Imagine waking up every morning knowing you made the right move.

If you’ve been stuck in the “Should I Quit or Not?” loop… this guide was made for you.

The guide is right for you if:

✔ You are an employee with a business idea but not sure how to make the transition

✔ You are an employee without a business idea yet, but want to explore what is possible

✔ You feel stuck between the security of a paycheck and the freedom of running your own business.

✔ You don’t want to waste years figuring things out the hard way.

The true cost of making the wrong decision

I know how tempting it is to quit and figure things out as you go. But without a plan, the transition can quickly become overwhelming and expensive. Trust me. Been there , done that. Here are the most common mistakes I’ve seen—and how much they can cost:

Quitting too soon – 5,000 – 30,000 RON lost
Leaving without a financial cushion or first clients can drain your savings fast, adding pressure instead of freedom.
Choosing the wrong legal format – 1,500 – 5,000 RON wasted
Not choosing the right legal format turns into costly invoices later on.
Skipping market validation – 5,000 – 20,000 RON lost (minimum)
Investing in branding and a website before confirming there’s demand is costly. Not to mention if you want to launch an app as I did. Turn that RON into EUR 😯
Not understanding taxes & hidden costs – 3,000 – 12,000 RON/year lost
Unexpected taxes and accountant fees can take you by surprise if you don’t plan ahead.
Throwing money on ads with no strategy – 2,000 – 10,000 RON burned
Ads without a tested offer rarely bring clients—they just drain your budget.
Underpricing services – 10,000+ RON in lost revenue
Charging too little leads to overwork and frustration—your time is valuable.
No clear client acquisition plan – 6-12 months of lost growth
Launching without knowing where clients will come from can slow things down significantly.
Trying to do everything alone – 3-6 months wasted
Learning everything from scratch slows progress—guidance saves time and money. Guilty of this as well!

💰 Total potential loss: 30,000 – 100,000 RON

Starting your business doesn’t have to be this hard. With the right guidance, you can avoid these mistakes, save money, and transition smoothly.

For less than a night out, save up to 30,000 RON in costly mistakes.

Who I am and why you should trust me

I’ve been exactly where you are—stuck between the security of my paycheck and the itch to build something of my own. No roadmap. No backup plan. Just the belief that I’d figure it out. Since then, I’ve built two businesses from scratch, turned Parentool into a platform with 20,000 users in 50 countries, and launched La Primul Business to help first-time entrepreneurs cut through the overwhelm and start smarter. And here’s what I know for sure: if you follow the steps in this guide, you will gain clarity on your transition and move forward with confidence.
