Just Quit My Job - What Now?!

Hey BP World,

After long discussions with a number of close friends and family, I decided it was time to turn in my resignation today and see where full time investing can take me. I know the immediate route I will be taking as far as strategy and to keep an income going (flipping) but I have some questions for those of you who went from W-2 employees to full-time investing/self employment. Stuff like health insurance, accounting software, deal tracking software, day-to-day priorities, etc. I know these are pretty subjective topics but I'm really just looking to start a discussion on your immediate steps taken the day after quitting.

I gave my current company a pretty large notice so I won't be really full time for about a month but I would like to hit the ground running and be fully prepared.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I like quickbooks for accounting software.
