For each person it's different, but some factors to think of:

- Do you have several months of living expenses put away? I did this and it made leaving much more easy knowing I had money n the bank.

- Do you have decent enough skills that if you failed at your business that you could go back and get a job?

- Is anyone else finically depending on you right now? And this might be children, a spouse, parents, etc.
