Keep your day job and start selling your solution before you build anything. Get 10-15 companies to sign the dotted line for your saas and ask them to start paying in Month 1. Then hustle on your off-hours to build the solution and get it out as soon as possible to validate if you're solving a hair on fire problem.

The great news w/ this approach: If your solution is a true painkiller, then you will have an easier time convincing each next prospect to sign up.

Ideally, you get to a point where you're making $10K MRR ASAP and growing WoW by atleast 20%.

Do NOT consult. It's a distraction and eats into the time you should be spending building your product or selling your solution.

My cofounder and I went through this process illustrated above before we quit our jobs. The one big mistake we made though was to quit our jobs after only signing one customer. If we could go back, we would have had atleast 5 signed contracts before quitting.

Also, don't waste your time w/ lawyers. Just use Stripe Atlas for all that jazz (ideally after you've got folks interested in using your solution)
