I would reframe #1 in terms of acceptable risk. If you're very risk-averse - for example, if you're raising a family and it is absolutely unacceptable to you to fail financially - then it's difficult to justify giving up the security of regular employment.

It takes a lot more than wanting to be free of 9-5 bondage in order to be successful, and that's just to get to the point where luck can play a part. I try to share my enthusiasm with others but often meet responses like: 'Must be nice to be so:' talented/lucky/smart/blessed with understanding wife/motivated/etc So in the end, I grew tired of talking and just tried to lead with actions. Most got bored and stopped paying attention.
