I'm starting my business part-time. But then, I work 12 night shifts for 3 days a week as an ER nurse. I have 4 days a weeks to chip away at my business.

I'm also focusing on building a business and not a startup. So, if things go well this fall, I should have some revenue coming in.

My goal is to spend 2-4 solid productive hours a night when I'm not working. And, I can usually achieve it. I figure little by little I'll get it built.

I'm also taking the long view on being an entrepreneur. I'm planning on this being a life-style for me. I'm going to be starting businesses or startups for the next 10-15 years. So, I don't have to get it all done in the next 6 months until my savings runs out.

As to whether you should quit your job or not... How long can you sponge off your parents? :) No, really. How long can you go without having an income before you have to get a job? I'd run with it for as long as I could. But, that's me.
