I don't know about disgracing - they are just mentalities possibly not well suited to entrepreneurship.
The one about "if I had the money" really gets me - I used to say that, but now I have easy access to the money, but no idea what to do with it.
The neat thing is the internet has brought out a market where a single person can both create and sell a product or service globally all on their own, so if you get someone with enough technical, business, and drive, they can be a one-man show - something that was much harder previously.
tl;dr
1. “I am thinking about starting up for last 3 years”
2. “I have got this great idea, but I cannot share with you” types
3. “I don’t like my job, so I want to become an entrepreneur” types
4. “I want to make money” types
5. “If I had the money, I would start my business” types
Nailed it.
I agree, but #3 is not always true. Sometimes, people solve a problem in their workplace by leaving a starting a company. I guess Bhatia and Hotmail make a good example.
Dissatisfaction with the way things are is a good motivator for starting a business.
This can be external (Blockbuster's crazy fees = Netflix) or internal (dead end job = working nights/evenings on something compelling).
I think the author would argue that the problem with #3 is people who aren't passionate about becoming an entrepreneur, and could just end the sentence with ", so I want a better job where I make all the rules".
