> ...If you're approached weekly about new business ventures, you've probably made a good name and good game for yourself.

I don't think that's really true. I'm approached any time I am at an event with a business spin of any sort when people find out that I write code for a living. I am not saying I'm a bad programmer, but I will say that those who have heard of anything I have done are in the dramatic minority. And the number of people who can connect me to all of the projects I've worked on is less than 5.

This includes a recent social event for skillshare. There are zero boundaries. It's completely reasonable to get frustrated.
