The only useful thing in the article is the message that "if you can get a job at an incubator before starting a company then do so". Ie, if you can simulate the experience of starting a company then do so.
Everything else is nonsense.
* Whenever your going to do something outside of your previous experience, your going to be nervous.
* Being nervous doesnt mean you give up. What if Laird had complained that he was too nervous to surf Teahupoo?
* Sometimes your not going to be able to simulate what you want to do. So make sure you have an safety net if things dont go according to plan.
IMHO In the end the regret of never having tried is far worse than any other consequence.
