The title question is about courage, and I think that's what you're after. So I would say, yes, I do have the courage to abandon my high-paying job. Your description of what you'd like to do sounds like an adventure, and if you're looking for someone here to tell you, "Yes, I started my own business --- it was awesome, and now I'm a ba-zillionaire!", well, I can't do that; but I can tell you that I too am chasing my dream like a fucking madman, and you should absolutely go for that thing you love with all your heart. ... the more conservative side of me thinks you'd do well to put in a good show/do some good work for your current employer, before setting off for the high seas. If not enough for the golden handcuffs, at least enough to part on friendly terms. good luck to you!
