I finished reading TMF and Unscripted not long ago and I opened a thread of my process. I have a business idea about building software as a service or kind of an app to help students study better (I'm an economics student myself). I don't know how the service should help students but I believe that I can build something great after getting feedback and after several prototypes.

However, that's going to take me a long time to do so. I don't have enough resources. I have no code skills at all and no cash at all (to fund marketing, build prototypes, get feedback and do some tests). I'm at 30K debt, living with my fiance (we're getting married in 2 months from now) and we're both fighting to cover the living expenses, month to month.

I am currently an economics student and study data analytics skills in a frontal course (SQL, Phyton, Power BI Excel). After 3 years of failure as an affiliate marketer, I was thinking about starting to become a freelancer as a data analyst (on Upwork and also finding clients on my own). Then, I read the books and put this idea aside.

Regardless of my business idea, my current goal is still to find a better job at the moment (Currently I work as a security guard for 2K$ monthly salary), where data analyst salary in my country is almost twice as much. But in addition to that, maybe it's a good idea to start freelancing to fight my debt and save some cash for building my Fastlane business soon? Also, I want to get experience in the data world and maybe it will open a road for me in this industry (finding needs, etc).

What should I do in your opinion? I would like to hear your opinions, fellas. Thanks.
