Don't quit your job with bills to pay and mouths to feed? I totally get the whole desire to do what you read people successfully doing all of the time, but my own personal experience has taught me that it's a fools errand to try to fit other people's roadmap into yours.
It might take you longer than you want, it might not map out how imagined but at the end of the day, you can't sacrifice everything for what amounts of a lottery ticket ESPECIALLY when it involves the quality of life for other people.
There are ways to do what you want incrementally, but think less about the scratch off ticket of startup homeruns and just do something simpler and grow. Build things that have an audience, do stuff that's closer to your current base of work and build a community around your work. That's not even a guarantee of success, but it's a much closer route and would enable you to make time to do what you want.
But yeah, don't jump out with a plane with a parachute because you only get one.
