When is the best time to launch a startup?

This is Michael Dell at his college dorm room, where, a few years earlier, he started assembling computers.

Did he ever imagine that this small action would lead to a multi billion-dollar business? I don't think so!

Michael's story reminds me of the importance of getting started.

It’s NOT important how extravagant your startup is, all that really matters is that you find a customer, solve their pain, and keep them happy.
