If you are responsible for the business analysis function on a large project, you can treat that as a mini-project (within the larger project) from a planning & execution perspective.
Also, remember than nearly all the soft/power/people skills of a PM are also used by BA's in their roles - active listening, negotiation, conflict resolution and so on.

I do agree with my fellow colleagues here and would assume that given that you earned your PMP, you do have at least 3 years of PM experience so you already started your career and transitioning to BA role would be easy for reasons that Kiron mentioned.
