German physicist ready for the fastlane

[ManuelK]

Hey!
I recently read the book "Unscripted " which led me to this forum.
I read many books to different topics like entrepreneurship, self-development, etc. but I never agreed so much with a person as I did with @MJ DeMarco.
Let me introduce myself briefly:
Right now, I'm 23 years old, live in Germany and study physics. Back in 2017, I realized that the scripted way of living (get good grades, apply for a job in a big company and do some work for others) is not what I want to pursue. Since then I continued studying only because of my own interest in the topics, what is still there.
The problem is that until now I didn't really take action, besides many action-fakes (shame on me). But Unscripted was an eye-opener what will wait for me if I don't change anything - a F*ck This Event.
My goal is: At the end of 2019 I want to earn money on my own so I can pay my bills and rent without trading time for money (using CENTS commandments)
I have many ideas but how can I know what customers would buy? To use MJ's metaphor: Deposit coins in the gumball machine otherwise you will never have the chance of a golden ball. So yesterday I started programming a SaaS that solves a problem I had on my job in the small business I work right now.
I look forward to having some inspiring conversations as there are already thousands in this forum.
Greetings.
Manuel
