I fully agree. I'm just questioning the use of entrepreneurial terms such as "exit strategy", especially early in the life of your project.

    "What are you doing?"
    "I'm painting, some people bought my pictures"
    "So what's your exit strategy?"

The terminology doesn’t matter. It’s used here because this is a very entrepreneurial audience and most people understand what is meant by it. I don’t think anyone means to imply that you need to treat your hobby/side projects like a business.

Well, the terminology matters to me. The language we use tends to frame how we think about issues. I find the language of entrepreneurship distasteful when used outside a business context.
