Default Still confused on financial aspect of making change

I've read the article, but I am confused on how to financially survive based on the advice in the article.

Current situation
I have created a reality where I am working in a job that I do not enjoy for a number of reasons, including disliking some of the people I work with, lacking flexibility to live how I want (including waking up early to work all day long), not feeling truly passionate about my tasks, and having a boss order me around. On the positive, I do make a good salary and have a graduate degree to fall back on.

What I have learned
I've learned that I want more flexibility in my life and job whether to take a day off here and there, travel when I want, work when I want, and more.

My passion
I really love the internet and learning about new topics and would love to live off the web. I have had some limited successes and I am currently focusing on one website at this point, which is being built.

My confusion
I really want to leave my job within a few months, but I do not see how I can just leave my job and stop getting paid. I have no other income at this point. Steve says we are giving away our power to the bills, roof, and food, but how am I supposed to support myself? I would think I need to start making money off the web before I leave my situation.

If anyone could share their thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.
