Up until last night, i had planned on quitting by the end of the year and starting 2007 as a full time internet entrepreneur.
But i’ve had a good long think… and just don’t think my bank balance could take a few months of no income 
I’ve a car, girlfriend, monthly memberships etc… In order to simply survive and keep all of those (and keep one of them happy 
), i’d need at least $100 a week. The initial plan was to earn nothing for a few months and live off my savings… eventually my sites would start making money and i could live off them.
But i’ve thought long and hard about this and don’t want to put myself in a situation where i’ve no money and can’t go on holidays, buy any luxuries, presents etc.. I thrive on pressure, so i’d enjoy having no income and having to ‘earn’ it with my only skills and intelligence. But it’s too big a risk for me at present. With Christmas coming and a mini-break already booked for January, my bank balance will be severly dented.
So what now? Well, i’ve vowed to invest a minimum $100 a week (€75) into my paypal account. I’ll let that build up. When any sites for sale catch my eye, i’ll buy them. If i need to update or refresh a few sites, i’ll hire someone to do that with the money.
Basically, i’m going to permanently fund my internet ventures. I’ve got about 6 months, or over 24 weeks until June. I am to have $3000 invested in internet projects by then. By that stage, i should be earning $100 a week of my projects and can then give up the day job.
it’s not as bold or exciting working on for another 6months in a job i don’t like, but it makes sense financially. At the end of the day, my aim is to make money and lots of it, so in order to do this, i need to invest, gamble and take risks with various different projects.
That’s exactly what i’m going to do. In the meantime, should one of my projects take off… i’ll ditch the day job like a hot potato.
