I haven't regretted quitting a good job to start a business, but I miss certain things about that job: being on a large team, office camaraderie, a dependence on a nice salary and not worrying at all about money (we're bootstrapped so we're constantly worried about money both for the business and personally,) people always taking my calls and responding because i was from a name-brand company. All that said, I was just remarking to my wife today that I wouldn't trade anything for the flexibility I have now running my own business.

The other thing I found was that I was more productive when I was working fulltime, than when I had more time to work on my own project. I worked better when I had less time, since I was more focused, would only work on the most important stuff, and only had a few hours to get something done. You may miss this, but hey, go for it anyway. If you leave on a good note, then there is always a chance of going back.
