How to quit your corporate job and build apps without gambling your savings (the 6 phase plan) 👇 Phase 1: Build while you're still employed → Don't quit yet. Your salary is your first investor → Pick one painful problem you or your coworkers deal with every week → Talk to 20 people who have it Phase 2: Ship ugly, ship fast → Build an MVP in 2 to 3 weeks with Cursor, Lovable or Bolt → One core feature. No dashboards, no settings pages → Put a payment link on it from day one Phase 3: Get your first 10 paying users → DM people who have the problem, not "friends who might like it" → Post your build journey on X consistently → If nobody pays, change the problem, not the paint Phase 4: Find what's working → Track signups, activation, paid → Double down on the one channel that brings users → Raise prices. Most first apps are underpriced Phase 5: Build a portfolio, not one bet → Launch app #2 using the same stack and playbook → Reuse auth, payments and landing pages → Small apps with multiple wins beat one perfect app Phase 6: Quit with proof, not hope → Quit when app revenue covers 6 to 12 months of expenses → Not when you're "motivated" Nobody makes millions by quitting first. They make it by building first. 🚀
