I think its a fallacy that if you quit your job you will have a do or die mentality.

If you don't have a plan, a proven business, or clients, then the probability of you spinning your wheels and going broke is very good.

Yes, a lot of people love the rags to riches story and it makes for good entertainment value. But really the key is your mind and determination to succeed .. and perhaps a greater purpose other than yourself.
