I dont want to put a negative vibe on things but I had to learn the hard way and my situation was much much much better than yours... Get another job do music in your spare time if it takes off then quit.

Im sure you already thought about what happens if it dont work so I'll skip that part but lets pretend you do hit your numbers. So what? Your not gonna spend the rest of your life making 300-500 a week. With that type of income growing and reinvesting or investing in something else isnt really gonna happen. So your basically just putting off having to go back to work. The longer you wait the harder it will be to get a job.

Your better off getting a job TODAY saving dough and push your thing around your work schedule. Build up your clients, equipment, skills, then quit forever. If for what ever reason things dont work out at least you still have your job and your equipment. If you gamble and it dont pay off your gonna put your equipment up for sale and have to take the first crappy job you can get. tutt
