"You're probably overestimating peoples reactions to you leaving."

This! I ran my first company for 6 years. When I left, I felt guilty as hell. I didn't know if the company could survive without me. Turns out it did GREAT without me-- arguably better than when I was running it. No one tells entrepreneurs that changing paths is a LOT harder than if you have an honest job... It's not as easy as 2 weeks notice, but it's a helluva lot easier than you think it is.

Several companies later (and about a year ago), my wife and I took off and traveled for about a year. I highly recommend it.
