Seriously this article just angers me.

What about the person that wants to make some good money while also enjoying the process. Wanting nice things and seeks financial freedom so as to provide a exceptional living for him/herself as well as for their family.

I dream big. I am realistic and I take time to enjoy what I have. It's not just reaching the summit that will be that moment. The journey is fantastic and it's the journey to that exceptional lifestyle that is all part of it.

This article just comes at it from the entrepreneur that is only coming at it for having the ends justify the means. However, a lot of people have jobs like that. Heck I'd wager to say more than 50% easily of the population have jobs like.

So I'd say to the entrepreneur that does slog away at something that he/she really isn't into and does end up with at least the experience. That's awesome. Maybe just the process of starting a business albeit tech one at first gives them experience. That down the line they are already ahead to possibly start some type of another business.

The more I write the more I feel like I'm just feeding this troll.

Troll? So now people that honestly want to help others and offer advice are trolls? He wrote the article because his introspection lead/is leading to a better life for himself. Is sharing that with other people such a bad thing?

I think this point isn't made enough. Everyone wants to "make a dent in the universe" and excelling for the simple sake of excelling is almost looked down upon. There's something to be said about the enjoying the process - getting enjoyment out of working to be better. Money is just one of many measurements of "better". I want to make money because I enjoy climbing the god damned mountain.
