Also, for perspective, he wasn't talking about anyone who has sort of steady hands. He was saying if you have steadier hands than anyone you know...

Your suggestions implies that steady handedness is a natural talent and if you do not have that natural talent then you need not try to develop it. That's just not how it works,
see my thread on outliers for more.
It also implies the ability to move from having that ability to turn it into a successful business, again, a pipe dream.
I have steady hand, I can pick up dog shit without getting any on my hand. I should have become a professional dig shit picker upper eh.
