Quitting to start business

Wondering for those who quit IB to start their own business.

What was that process like?
What skills best translated over to starting your own business?
If you failed, why?
If you succeeded, how? (I understand luck plays into a portion of that)
How long did you plan out your business and how difficult was it to plan out given tough hours?

Interested to hear your stories.
