Quit my current job in a startup & starting as a consultant - need advice

2 weeks back, I have decided to resign my current job and take plunge as a consultant / freelancer working w.r.t GenAI use cases... I have plans of joining my mentor who does this kind of service w.r.t mobile and webapp for almost 15 years as a one man company. I feel like I will be getting out of zoo into a wild forest any advices is of great help and any leads who are in need of such help will of immense help.

Thanks in advance
