Am I ready to quit my job?

Hello BP!  I love real estate, have held rentals, been a wholesaler in past years, and now a licensed realtor of 6 months.  Since March I have obtained 3 listings on good properties which I am marketing through my era powered broker, social media, open houses, etc.  I attend training every chance I get and read others experiences in my free time.  My heart races when I think of executing my business plan full time as a realtor.  My 401k won't retire me forever, but will cover my expenses for the next 9 months.  My retail job takes 50-60 hours a week which I feel could better used developing my business full time now.  Am I ready to take the leap?

In my opinion if you need hour 401K to support you while you build your RE business you aren't ready. Dont touch your retirement.
