If you mean "step down" as in leaving your current employ, the critical question is this: How many months savings do you have?

Oh, and don't listen to what people around you say about your ideas. They'll either think it's brilliant or say it's stupid, but rarely have anything critical or useful to say.
The genius is in your passion for the idea.
