Good thread. I also had to go through this.

In my opinion, in hindsight, I did the right thing by leaving my career outright and “burning the boats.”

My catalyst: I made one sale of about $10K. At which point, I realized that I could scale that sale easily to $15-25K and at least one or two per month. It was a no brainer to move forward.

I like to simplify business down to just three steps:

1. Assemble Value into a Product
2. Find the Market and sell the Product.
3. Once you sell $10K at less than 50% cost: incorporate, patent and dedicate time.

I personally would never advise anyone to quit their job before reaching the third step.
