Plans post banking

Has anyone on this forum gone into entrepreneurship after their banking stint? Feel like the skill set learned in IB is great for having your own business. I know the natural path in banking is go to PE after but I have no desire to be a corporate slave the rest of my life. If I could make 250k-350k as an entrepreneur 5-8 years after working at a corporation I would much rather do that.
