Always remember survivor bias. For every Jeff Bezos there are untold masses of people who quit their high paying job and ended up in financial ruin, but you are never going to see those people on the cover of Forbes.
Also consider how much financial cushion you have. Bezos had his parents invest something like a quarter million dollars to keep his business afloat in the early years. If you don't have that kind of safety net, your risk of financial ruin is much higher.
Just something to consider.
