Try to change your mindset and know that now you have a way out of your job. Most people are just stuck and you are able to leave if you really need/wanted to. Free your mind and just know that you have now created a light at the end of the tunnel.
I think the smartest thing to do is continue to do the job for couple of more months. Jumping from a full-time employee to entrepreneurship is tough for anyone. Even tougher for first time entrepreneur. I, myself experienced that very same thing. I'm in ecommerce too. Whilst we're at it, I found a good read, check it out when you have time.

I reckon if you've got the savings to keep yourself good for atleast 6 months to a year then quit but if not then probably stick it out.
However, don't be afraid to take a chance on yourself.
Honestly, I can't imagine that you are adding any value to your current boss by being unmotivated . The fact of the matter is that working as an entrepreneur is risky. So if you plan to do it, i think you should just jump in and give your all. You're more likely to make the business more of a success when you are working on it full time because it is something that fulfills you. There is no point in taking valuable time away from your business and investing it in something that drains you. I feel like there will always be something that will come up that will make you feel like it's not time to leave your job. - like you need more money.
