This is similar to the core message of the e-myth, which declared that starting a business didn't make you an entrepreneur if you were really a technician who had one entrepreneurial thought. I know myself (I'm a business coach) that I meet many business owners who started a business for one reason - often technical ability, a desire for more money or control, and sometimes passion - and only later realise they need to develop business skills. And if loving your job and turning it into a business is hard, then loving a hobby and turning it into a business is an order of magnitude harder again ... hard, but possible.
