I quit my job few months back. How much money you have in the bank has no bearing on how you feel about not having constant income. (fyi, I saved up lot more than your number). On a day without much progress, I stress myself that had I been at my job and goofed off, I would still make the money.

Here are a few tips: 1. Have a project that you are ready to launch. 2. validated from users/customers that they are interested in it. 3. Figured out how to market your project/product.

I had 1) but not 2 and 3. It is a long process to learn what customers care about and what channels you need leverage to market it.

I read everything about startups over the years , worked at one and still wish someone told me specific things like 1. How to validate a project idea before you spend too much time on it. 2. How to effectively market it.

Goodluck.
