I would give just the opposite advice - a man with one behind can't dance a two weddings. He has the savings, go for it. If he fails, go out and get another job.

Either decide to go all out or don't do it all. The stress of trying to juggle a full time job and a starting a business and being there for your family isn't worth it.

My point was for him to at least light up something first not to fully run a business on the side. Of course it's hard to maintain a 9-5 job and to run a business at the same time. Do you know Tarzan? It's exactly the same thing, make sure you're getting a grip on another liana when you make a move otherwise it'll hurt.
