I was comming in here initially to be like.... "Wait have a plan!!! reaches out with hand to pull you back from jumping off a cliff"

Thanks for your vote of confidence. It is still a risk but I wanted to do one of these “I quit my job” posts that wasn’t like “now all I have to do is learn how to program and I can make my open world mmo life simulator.” I have been very meticulous in my planning but still aware that this is a risk.

No risk, no gain.

Having meticulous plans and preparedness means you're already ahead of they pack!

these are fair comments but you also have to be careful not to come off as “I don’t know if I’m going to make it I only ever self published this one book maybe you’ve heard of it ‘the martian’ “ this phenomenon can swing both ways
