You didn't tell which industry you're in. Isn't it possible for you to find a part-time job or some freelance work? Like, if you were a web designer, you could be self-employed until your business or passive income streams generate enough revenue.

Do you live off the money you earn or is your family supporting you? Do you have any children who need to be taken care of? I think it all depends on how much risk you can handle in this phase of your life.

I've given up my day job 3 years ago and did freelance work until I managed to launch my company in September. I still do some freelance work occasionally. Also, I'm building up passive income streams (building traffic, selling ad space). Not that I want to talk about myself but wanted to give some specific tips.

I've found the following snippet today here while looking for advice for myself:
Quote:
One must decide for oneself: Leaders and followers face different problems. The leaders have to wonder if the followers will follow them faithfully and the followers wonder if the leader will bring them to the "promised land". In essence, the leaders and the followers are slaves to each other's needs.
Both group faces problems, one has to decide which kind of problems he wants. If you think you're a leader, you should make that leap ASAP
