Most people who quit their job essentially as an act of showing middle finger to their bosses, and start a business don't realize that they are focusing on short term pain and ignoring the long term pain that running a business is.
Starting and running a business, especially as a middle-class first generation entrepreneur is not easy. If you do it only because you hate your current boss, a couple years down, the entrepreneurship world would eventually teach you working for your former boss was way better.
Pride, vanity, and moments of impulsiveness, focusing on stopping the short term pain - all these block your long term visibility, and gives you tunnel vision. This makes it very difficult for you to assess if your decision is one that's coming from a place of emotion.
So, before you quit anything, make sure you're not emotional, and that you have weighed the pros and cons of the act objectively, in a detached manner. Don't put on Youtube motivation videos and tender your resignation with a mic drop screenshot of Obama in your last mail.
