Hi, there are many people out there claiming they quit their job and got reach by "starting a business", and though I'm sure there are many actual real success stories, I'm more curious about the "underdog" scenarios, people who:

- started with little money, savings etc - didn't have any well-know mentor or relative that boosted them - didn't have some kind of revolutionary idea, physics, biology and so on, but actually some kind of doable product, a game, something

I personally am on this kind of path, and though I was always able to somehow learn and make it, and I trust it might work out, I notice how hard the entire thing actually is. It makes me realize that it's impossible all the success stories out there are actually real

I'm curious if anyone here has something of their own they can share or someone they know that "made it"? I work better when motivated so I'm actually curious haha

I'm curious what people here think about this question.

If you plan on working on a side-project that might make you money, or build a startup, when do you think is the best time to quit your job?

Is it when you make enough to live by yourself? When you validate that the idea works? When you realize you don't have enough time for both? Or simply at the very beginning?

What do you think are the reasons for which you should stay longer or less?
