I have product, but think about the best path for me
Hello,
I have always wanted to be businessman, I am 25 years old. I know that this is age when many people have thoughts like me.
I started my own projects with simple WordPress templates and decided to learn coding for my project, also it was great to start career as web developer remotely - it helped me to work and create own project from my home.
Now, I have got product, a lot of possible leads, but I have no money from it.
I decided to quit full-time job and focus on JuniorJobsOnly.com, so I live from savings...
Anyone made the same decision? I have to setup any limit for me for this type of lifestyle. How long it should take to earn normal money to live from project?
Maybe I should work a bit to not live from savings and develop my project?
Thanks!
It really depends on your personality, stories are all over from just going for it and running till bank-robed working or not, to not even moving to full time when it matches the primary salary.
Some people are motivated by the fear of an empty bank account and work harder, hassle more and just become stronger, for other it's paralysing and leads to depression being totally unproductive and hard to self recover.
You have to watch your own mental reaction and preferably have someone else that can watch you and give you the code word in case things turn ugly.
Think back to how you react to hard situations and decide what is a good fit for you.
Just make your decision based on you, not what you think it should be due to other people's stories.

I'm 36 and I quit and went back to work several times in my life. I always quit super happy and motivated, and always went back tired and with no money.
My advise is: invest time and money on self awarness. When you start to know yourself, you will understand why you take risks that other people wont, and where you are mistaken.
For example, in the last year I learned that I'm an ENFP, and we are all struggle with leaving and coming back to jobs. I also learned why I failed, and now I'm quiting again, but this time I'm better prepared for the journey.
For me, all started with this site (not mine, just awesome): https://www.16personalities.com
After that, I moved to more serius stuff, like this book: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Travis-Bradberry-ebook/dp/B002U3CBUW
The bottom line is: you have to find why you do what you do, and then how to do it better.
NOTE: Personality test are closer to zodiac than to science, but it helped me to understand a lot of stuff.
