First of all: congrats on your decision! Now I don't want to sound asinine, but have you thought this through well enough? I mean, from what I read you have two weeks to discover how you're going to make money, build something, and actually make money off of it. That might be a bit ambitious...
Wouldn't it be better to keep working at a job, and build something awesome in your spare time? Or do you have some cash to get you through the first n months or so?
Regardless of your decision, keep us posted! Good luck!
- methochris 14y agothanks for the insight. i am not starting entirely from scratch but i have no actual product/users to speak of. just a few ideas, a few months worth of savings, and a good bit of boilerplate code from my training projects.
- 13rules 14y agoWhy not start a project part-time at night while you still have a job? With out a few months savings you could find yourself without a viable product and with zero money pretty shortly. Best of luck to you either way!
- methochris 14y agoya, this was my plan back in january when i convinced my employer to let me take thursdays & fridays off to work on my own projects. 2 days a week is not much to educate myself, map out a site, design it, and program it. i am 10 months into this task and the site is at maybe 70%. my wife and son are demanding more of my time and attention and since this job has turned into little more than a means to pay for the car i need to get there, it's making sense to sell the car, finish this project, and see what comes of it. Thanks for the advice.
- 13rules 14y agoAwesome... Go for it! A wife and son are pretty good inspiration to get it in gear! :) Be sure to post your project here once you launch.
