I would NOT quit your job until you have accomplished 3 things. The first is to read a book called "E-Myth" by Michael Gerber. The second is to write a  Business Plan and get the help of an accountant for the financial projections part of the plan. And 3rd, to save money to get you through at least 6 months, and preferably 9 months or more, during which you may very well be getting $0 income!

Please spare yourself the pain and suffering, and even heartache, that can ensue from just jumping into a business without really knowing what you are getting into.

The advice I am offering you has the potential to save you years of work and thousands of dollars and I hope you`ll heed it.

Good luck
I started reading The E-Myth Revisited and agree 100% with this suggestion. Your situation sounds like the classic case the author describes in the first 40 pages.
