Max, I pretty much disagree with everything you said.

1) If he keeps his high paying job he won't have the motivation to work on his startup. That's more likely to lead to failure than jumping in with both feet.

2) Why does he have >90% chance of failure? Who calculated that statistic?

3) Who cares about 1 million users? He doesn't need that. He needs paying customers. He can do very well with 500 customers or less.

4) Why does he have to make $300,000+ to be considered successful? Clearly he isn't happy and isn't driven by money. What's the exchange rate for taking pleasure in your work?
