Don't have a 6 month runway. Have a lifetime runway. Just keep making and launching things till something has significant traction.

You can only do this with an income. Or it will all come crashing down in six months.

Realistically, your current project will fail. Plan instead t launch 10 things in the next five years.

Put that money in the bank.

I agree. Also 8-12 months is an unrealistic timeframe to generate revenue. Most startups, especially bootstrapped ones need at least 2 years before they gain any serious traction.

With some discipline, you can dedicate 2 hours a day on your startup.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I got to ramen profitability within 6 months in my previous SaaS startup. I'm not saying it wasn't hard, but it isn't this super-impossible thing everyone makes it out to be.
