Dear Ms. EmployeR/D,
Congratulations on your excellence! It's hard to find work that supports you. What's missing from your post, though, is how you feel about the work that you're leaving. I can imagine that there's a sense of fulfillment that's been lacking. I can't tell you if your small business will succeed. I can't tell you that you have a solid financial situation, but I can tell you that you can test the waters. If you have a support system that will keep you from homelessness and scurvy no matter what, start the process! Starting a small business doesn't happen all at once. There's no point in the process when you can't re-evaluate, and if you find that you're miserable, have alienated the people you love, and are constantly worried about money, you CAN quit.
There's nothing that will entirely prepare you for taking the plunge and going all in on your dreams, but with a support system of friends and family saying "Yes, and!", you can move forward with confidence.
We're all making it up as we go along.
