Question speaks it all, please be truthful in your answers as I work full time and want to see if others have done it too.

    Short answer - yes

    Things to consider

    • How are you defining success (revenue, profit, # of employees, valuation, reputation, fulfillment, etc.)?
    • Are you solving a problem or doing something that you like/are good at?
    • Do you know how to structure, build, and grow a business?
    • Are you “good enough” at product/service, marketing, sales, fulfillment, operations, management, etc.?
    • How much cash flow will you need?
    • Will you keep going when it gets boring?
    • Why do you want to start a business?

    It is possible and many people have done it/are doing it. A lot more people underestimate what it takes and quit.

    Being an employee and being a business owner are very different and require very different skill sets.

    The best way to find out is to do it and see what happens.
