The article clearly has a point. But you've to tread carefully.
I've observed there are always two kinds of entrepreneurial stories:
1) well organized entrepreneur with a vision he lays out and then goes out and executes(characteristic of older, more experienced entrepreneurs)
2) entrepreneur playing around with stuff without much of a goal and happens to hit something which he develops into something even better (ie. hotornot, facebook).
My point: there is an extreme to both. That doesn't mean I don't value planning and goal a lot. In my case, clear goals make the actual doing that much more fun and give me that "on a mission" feel.
