I have shallow programming skills and I have a web service in my mind. I currently have savings for a year and quitted my 9-5 job to achieve my dream.
and I have these 3 options to take from now on:
1. concentrate solely on the web service development and learning necessary programming skills, under the mission to making it profitable in a year.
2. to get a part time job for stability or safety.
3. build a side hustle at the same time which is likely to be profitable in months so that I can comfortably sustain working on my business, even if it doesn’t get profitable for extended years.
all seem reasonable and I would have to make my own decision at the end of the day but just want to hear from other fastlaners here. any input would be appreciated. thanks.
p.s. I’m leaning towards #3 personally.
