"It was time to stop being an entrepreneur by association but rather by action. "

And the title of his blog: "Musings of an entrepreneur"

Thing is he isn't an entrepreneur. And there is no such thing as an entrepreneur by association. He's an armchair entrepreneur and yes he should move off the coach and actually do something.

I dont get what point you're trying to make with the relation between the quoted line and the title of the blog.

As an aside, arent you being too quick to judge ? I quit my 6 figure job and have been working on my product for the last several weeks. Still a few more weeks away from launch, but I'm 100% invested in it.

Well first sorry for the snark. Otoh you have to have a thick skin to be an entrepreneur so keep that in mind.

"arent you being too quick to judge ? I quit my 6 figure job"

The world is quick to judge. (Remember that.)

Seriously though why did you quit your (6 figure) job as opposed to trying to get something started or prototyped while maintaining a salary?

How long have you thought about this particular idea you are almost ready to launch - or did you try to just come up with "an idea" so you could be an entrepreneur?

I do have a thick skin - so I wasnt offended. I have been researching this idea for quite some time -- I've tried several other ideas / side projects over the years - some (like my earlier blog) have been successful, some not so much. After my research and some basic prototyping, i quit to pursue further and not create any conflict of interest with my job.
