I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments of this article. What Spicer calls a "Main Street Entrepreneur" is what I like to call a "micropreneur": The spirit, freedom of how/when/where but bootstrapped, without VCs involved. And instead of just working on one big thing hopping to make it big, one can work on a few smaller "micro businesses", which cumulatively might not make you rich, but can you make at least viable, self-sustained and more importantly, free and happy to pursue other things; be that trying out another micro-business, or recreational freedom. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to just go on a vacation or road trip when you feel like it without having to wonder "how many vacation days do I have left; need a few for christmas etc." and even having to ask your boss to get permission to take a few days off to begin with. Freedom of action.
