Accelerate or slow down?
bprater: If you mean "step down" as in leaving your current employ, the critical question is this: How many months savings do you have?And if you have at least a year's saving, what is the revenue model and how quickly can you get to the point where you can ship product?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.
