Start freelancing, then raise your rates and use my little calculator [1] to "make time", then work on side projects.

Also: as someone who did a lot of side-projects over the last few years, my advice is "start a side product" instead (if you want to end up living out of it, that is).

Perhaps some validation would be useful, but 20 days per week?

Oh I thought it said 20 HOURS per week.

Sorry for the confusion! I'll clarify the wording.

I emphasize working with days (vs hours) because I find it really pleasant to have days dedicated to one project instead of more than one.

In my organization, each day is dedicated to one main topic (consulting, or my own product, or something else etc).

Hope this helps!

Good point - I'll add some validation in there, thanks!

That's what happens when you allocate 20 days a week toward bootstrapping.
