I'd be careful about going all in before you've built a steady pipeline of work.

A lot of successful business owners start by taking on jobs evenings and weekends, building referrals, and testing what actually brings in customers before leaving their full-time job.

The goal isn't to quit first and hope it works. The goal is to create enough demand that the business starts deciding for you.

With two kids depending on you, I'd focus on reducing risk while building momentum.
