I agree with your summary, that's what the author is stating, though I don't think the conclusion is true. The best way to start becoming an entrepreneur is to start small. The mantra 'fail early, fail often' is useful, but only if you have the resources to apply it more than once, which means that assuming you're not rich you should start small. Start a side project, do consulting work in your spare time, etc... It's not rocket science. That being said, I understand the desire to quit a job you don't enjoy. I know that desire can override doing things rationally. I have that desire often.
