This was from memory, and my recollection is he then segues into "and now use this free time to start your dropshipping business or whatever". Perhaps I'm misremembering, though.

I think you're right - it was something like "now you have all this free time, you can do this drop shipping thing to make yourself totally independent of work. Maybe you quit one day!"
That's exactly what Tim was talking about in sections of his book, negotiating reduced hours as an employee with existing employers.
I'm not even sure "start your own business" was the main point of 4HWW, so much as it was "Work yourself less on tedium".
