Validate if the problem you are facing right now is experienced by more users. If yes, jump-start building it as a side project preferably in front of a community ( Twitter in our case ).

This would for sure correct the course of your product very early in the development phase. While doing this try to find your first paid customer and validate this idea.

Once you find more ways to scale this to cover your basic expenses, become full-time to work on this idea.

Get started, but don't overcommit. Get started with a plausible idea, and do everything you can to test its validity early on, then bail if it's not working.
