Telling someone to quit or not to would be definitely irresponsible, as I could be doing a lot of damage to your future either way if you ever consider my advice, so I'll refrain from doing so.

Still, in one hand, if you are now having a change of heart, it probably means you are burnt and don't trust your own chance of ever making those '6 figure' look up to you (instead of down on you). On the other hand, you are 30, and for an entrepreneur, 30 is young. No one would expect you to be a millionaire by now.

If you say "but I'm doing this ever since I was 18yo," to that I answer: that was an 18yo trying to do stuff, not an experienced professional. That builds up experience, but given one is starting at such a young age, expecting it to build up results from the get go is optimistic (read really silly here).

So here's what I'd tell you if you were a personal friend: give not being an entrepreneur a try. Find a job, get a reasonable position, and a year from now you will know what you were missing on and what you lost on the transition.

No decision is final when you are 30yo.
