I would like to go on a similar path one day, with following differences: * not quitting a job, change job, negotiate higher pay, long weekends (done ;) * figure out what side project I actually want to pour myself into Based on what I hear, B2B is easier than B2C, and info-products (book/course/e.t.c.) are easier than SaaS. Bonus points if the problem solved by the course could be turned into a SaaS later on. After I would have my bright idea, I would start reaching some potential customers, (blog? mailing-list? cold-emails? conference talks? this is the biggest problem for me probably?) to get some confirmation somebody would actually buy the product. I know there is a cottage industry just for creating landing pages and getting emails of potential customers. After I would see the idea has traction, I would have time (due to my 4-day/week job) to write/record the damn thing, and sell it, to the people that presumably wanted it enough to be on my damn mailing list :D My big inspirations in this regard are Amy Hoy [0] with her methaphorical brick-stacking course and Nate Berkopec [1] with his book on ruby. My biggest set-backs are that I am mostly too tired to actually execute on the plan, so I mostly use my extended weekends for more recovery/family time :) Second, I am not sure I have enough expertise on a anything that would warrant writing such book/make course? I.e. I was thinking about writing about Jenkins, but I am not sure my expertise is enough, and I work with it much less than a year ago when I was thinking about that most :-) I wish you luck!
