I was just wondering.. I'm 22 years old. I have an idea about a internet business I want to start. I've already had 4 "regular" jobs, and I always felt about it like Steve writes in his posts. I don't want to trade my time for money. I didn't really like those jobs anyway. I've always been one of those who didn't know what I wanted to be when I "grow up". So, after a lot of reading (Steve) and thinking.. I recently decided to quit my job. I want to go my own ways from now on.

So what do you guys think? Am I too young? Should I have a bit more experience before attempting this? Like Steve qutoes from The Matrix: "Everybody falls the first time". So I'm prepared this can happen, but I can still make the same business work, if I keep working hard on it, and always adding improvements, right? Just need your general advice =)

Another way to think of it: The earlier I begin (I'm 22), the more likely I am, in my lifetime, to actually accomplish something? Is it a good idea to begin now, or should I gain more experience first?

Thanks for your time!
