Follow the initial framework of 4 Hour Work Week if you really can't take the jump otherwise. Basically imagine the worst case after planning and then work backwards from there. Solve or think about how bad each aspect of your worst case would be .

Chances are it's really not that bad, so jump in!

The alternative could be something like I do. I work full time and work on side projects after work. I have a VA that does the heavy lifting for me so when I get home after work I can make efficient use of my 2 hours/night.

I did this due to visa sponsoring I have to do in the coming year, after the visa has cleared I plan on getting out of the employee scene.

I used my consistent salary to cover extra VA costs to build lists of people I can target to become clients, so many, many phone calls and emails will ensue after making the leap.
