I do have some stories about quitting, but not the last job I had before starting my own business. For me it was a series of layoffs from tech jobs. The last of which came about a month after I had been told that my temp position was going to become permanent. It would have been along with about a dozen other people in the same position except that IBM had bought the company a couple of months earlier and decided to scrap the program our company made in Boulder. Not only did my job not become permanent, but all but 20 people in the office got laid off as well.

I had been wanting to start my own business for years and when a friend decided she wanted to as well we became partners and formed a web design business. That company is no longer around and my friend has gone on to other things. (we're still good friends though) I took what I learned from that business and started up again with this one. Hopefully I learned enough.
