Fellow entrepreneurs, let's get back to the meat of his blog post which is in the third paragraph. One sentence from that paragraph "If you cannot bring fresh ideas, energy, and skill to a business--any business--then it will not succeed." perfectly describes what makes or breaks every entrepreneur (and her/his business). He probably reminded a few people who have "fresh ideas, energy, and skill" that there is another path to being an entrepreneur (taking over a company). And it's the path taken by quite a few people. Warren Buffett (according to Wikipedia, Berkshire Hathaway - a textile manufacturing company - was in trouble before Buffett) comes to mind. Another example (especially for the last sentence: "Don’t worry about what the business does in terms of revenue right now; look at it as a start--a platform that over time can be morphed into what ever you want.") is Martin Sorrell (WPP, the largest advertising network was, prior to Sorrell, "Wire and Plastic Products plc" and made wire shopping baskets). PS - Kudos to the OP, great blog that I didn't know of even though I visit and read inc.com quite often.
