Here are some thoughts about whether the time is right for you to start freelancing:
- Technical ability: I wouldn't worry here; if you have the skills you mention, then you probably have the ability to solve meaningful business problems with them.
- Business ability: This is much more important. Are you able and willing to get out there and network? Can you talk with people and find pain points you can solve? Would you be comfortable constantly working to fill your pipeline, while delivering projects?
- Family state: Are you supporting a spouse or children? Do you need comprehensive health insurance, or are you a twenty-something who is basically invincible?
- Financial state: Do you have some savings that you can use as a runway for ramping up? What yearly income would you need to make to maintain your standard of living?
These are just some discussion-starters, but hopefully they are helpful.
