In my opinion, if you are engaging in the brainstorming method of saying "I want to start a business," that will never get you anywhere. Starting a business is about seeing a problem, solution, and/or opportunity, and being able to execute it with domain expertise, all at the right time. Of course, it's also about grinding out sales leads and finding paying customers – a lot of is is sinking way more hours into it than you would sink into a 9 to 5. I don't think this process is successful very often when we use the "daydreaming" method encompassed in the way your question is phrased here. There aren't a lot of ways to "quit my job real quick." Most businesses are going to involve way more work than a day job, and the ideas can't just come out of thin air or from strangers on the Internet. Frankly, my advice to someone daydreaming is to just look around for more fulfilling salaried work. |

I've seen lots of problems with solutions but nobody wants to buy.
I've seen someone pick up tumbleweek from their backyard and open an online store and make tens of thousands in a week of opening, and millions a year, selling a product they don't pay for, and it takes minimal work.
I think there's a lot of pure luck in being successful, at all levels.
A lot of successful people chalk it up to pure luck and it is not false humility, either.
Had Bill Gates been born 3 years later, or had his parents not sent him to his exclusive high school and he had no access to computers...so many little things can derail stuff.
