It is extremely unsafe to pursue this full-time unless you're one of the outliers.
Honestly, I wouldn't quit my job without meeting ALL 3 of the following:
1. Being completely out of debt
2. Have at least a year's salary put away as a cushion
3. Prove I can make 10k a month consistently for at least 18 months in a row.
Even then, all bets are off.
My advice - keep your day job. The time to quit will make itself readily apparent, i.e. you're absolutely killing it in sales over the long term, and/or you're a huge breakthrough bestseller. Short of that, don't quit. Seriously, if you have to ask, then it's not time to make the jump, and it's much too big a risk, IMO.
