I think it's more about implementing those ideas into your life, whether or not you have a "regular" job. I think you need to provide for yourself/your family first and you may need to work a job to do that, especially at first. I think the trouble really would lie in getting a dead-end job and just living day-to-day, while not trying to better yourself, provide value, etc. - you can better yourself and begin side projects while working a 40-hour or more a week job, there are plenty of hours left in the day.
