> Don’t get a job. All advice is circumstantial, and this one seems particularly painted by OP circumstances. When I got my first job, I was living paycheck to paycheck and partially supporting my family. I can't imagine how could I possibly quit my job to pursue side projects. A few years later I did work in a side project that went nowhere for 2-3 years in a manner similar to how OP describes. Sometimes dedicating yourself 100% to your own venture is the right call, but this piece seems to assume this is a choice everyone can make easily. |

Most small businesses start with "why isn't there an X for the Y I need right now?", are launched with "a tax strategy" for money you would have to pay anyways, and end with knowing when to execute an exit strategy.
Wise to keep the day job even if part-time, and follow a strict disciplined schedule with reasonable hours. Eventually, revenue may swing you away from your job to a new venture... but most of the time it won't.
Small business is not for gamblers, and Apps are a fragmented long-tail market.
Rule #23: Don't compete to be at the bottom, as you just might actually win. =3
