The Side-Hustle Transition Planner

Help me plan the transition from side project to real business.

The side project: [DESCRIBE — REVENUE, TIME IT TAKES, GROWTH]
My situation: [JOB, FINANCES, RISK TOLERANCE, DEPENDENTS]
The goal: [FULL-TIME / SCALE / KEEP AS SIDE INCOME]

Provide:
1. The signals that say it's ready to go full-time vs stay a side hustle
2. The financial runway and milestones to hit before leaping
3. How to de-risk the transition (build revenue, savings, proof first)
4. What breaks when I go from a few hours a week to full-time on it
5. A staged plan rather than a reckless leap

Balance ambition with responsibility — help me leap when the evidence
supports it, not on hope.
