Why did I go full-time?

1. I had the runway. I knew a bonus was going to hit my account in March of 2022 since June of 2021. I knew that by that time I was going to be mentally and financially prepared for this.
2. I love our idea. It's new. It's needed. It's never been done before.
3. I interviewed people. Unsuspecting to my solution, I interviewed 37 people to learn more about their problems. Project planning is absent. More importantly, it can be done better.
4. I'm my own customer. I was a consultant for 5+ years. Processes are not in place to accomplish complex projects.
5. I wasn't learning. The last few of years, I wasn't learning as I had been my first couple years in consulting. I went back to school part-time to fill that void but when that ended, I resorted to side projects. When that started to not be enough, I knew I needed a big change.

Time will tell if I went full-time too early. I'm 26 and eager to make an impact. No VC, family, or angel backing.

That's the real-world for a lot of us trying to make a positive difference.
