I was in the same boat. We continue to do consulting but have been able to have a couple people working on a side project. Basically, the profit from our clients is used on our own project. I wouldn't reject all incoming projects, but just take on the ones that are worthwhile time/money wise. I'd also try to dial in on a specific idea or two that you think you can turn into a business. When you do work for clients and your own project it will take longer for you to get something out there, but it'll extend your runway. Once you can pay the bills, then I'd ditch the consulting. Anyway that's what works for me, your situation might be different. Good luck!
