I'm leaving my role as a Design Lead to sell infoproducts... and I'm terrified

Quick notes about me:

• Frontend Dev-turned-Designer for 12+ years
• Sold a 3-founder company StreamPro for $1M in 2015 (netted ~$200k personally)
• 4 kids and a mortgage
• 8 months of total runway (and then pain)
• Last day is Friday, March 11th
• Dormant Tiktok account with 287k followers
• Dormant Discord with 800 members
• Dormant ConvertKit list with 600 subscribers

Today I'm not detailing my strategies or sharing valuable lessons learned - that will come soon. I'm just looking to intro myself and commiserate.

I'm not an active lurker of Indiehackers. I've read a few viral threads here and there, but I'm here because I assume you are my people. And my God do I need my people right now.

I'm about to make the scariest commitment of my life and I'm trying to find my courage in the void.

I'm deeply passionate about digital product design (user experience, user interfaces, and interaction design - to be specific). I've spent the last decade+ learning to build products, take them to market, and build design teams/operations at mid-market companies as "the first design hire" or "a UX design team of one" throughout San Francisco.

Aside from execution skills, I've learned a tremendous amount about design operations, framing complexity and collaborating with people who have limited experience working with product designers.

My goal is to share what I've learned in a way that allows me to make a sustainable income. That would allow me to start sharing what I've learned more accessibly (cheaper prices, low income programs, region based pricing) - that's the North Star. But validating whether I can make enough money doing this is the first step.

Starting next week, the clock starts ticking. I have 8 months of runway to make $10k/mo selling UX design infoproducts and assets.

SOS.
