I'd disagree on one point. Being a business owner is not easier. We all intuitively know that. He knows that. Getting capital, having an idea, executing (even if you're failing) is difficult. To get a job, I need to impress the hiring manager, and maybe a few of the engineers who interview me. To open a business, I need to impress a banker, or a VC, or an angel, then I need to impress each and every potential customer. And impressing them is beyond, hey this guy has roughly the right skillset. No I need a feasible idea, a plan. I need to be good with money, I need to know an industry enough to contribute to it, I need the inter personal skills to demonstrate to people I can actually do those things... and then to be successful, i have to be telling the truth. I'm impressed by a "business owner" because its truly an impressive thing.
