I look at it differently.

If I was working a typical corp job, I would "quiet quit" and start using my excess savings to run small experiments. Maybe run like 3 in parallel a month and let them cook.

Example - start a niche blog based on my hobby, hire 3 writers and pay them up to $3k a month to write content for the blog. Let it cook for months. If it gets traffic, monetize with ads. If very profitable, quit job.

Starting an internet based business if fairly cheap nowadays, especially with cursor and ai.
