Hello everyone.
I would like to ask for your help with some ideas or advice.
I have a 9 to 5 job and I've wanted to become an entrepreneur for a long time but I don't know where to start.

I have some programming experience (8 apps developed to automate some tasks in the company), a lot of experience in graphic design and photo processing and I am very good at identifying improvement opportunities in the company and creating solutions (which led me to the development of the apps).

What would you do or where would you start in this situation to become independent and quit your job?

Thank you.
