Gurbaksh Chahal started his first company at 16 and sold it at 18 for $40 million, then went on to start a second company and later that to yahoo for $300 million.
I've just read his book THE DREAM and I think it's a great read for all aspiring entrepreneurs. Check it out and get inspired by his story. 
He ends the book with 27 lessons on entrepreneurship that I would like to leave you with followed with a video by Brass Magazine. 
Listen to your heart. 
Forget noble motivations 
Adjust your attitude 
Figure out what you’re good at 
Trust your gut 
Do your homework 
Be frugal 
But don’t be frugal with hiring 
Hire smart people 
Don’t expect perfection, but strive for it 
Learn to listen 
Own your mistakes 
Never compromise your morality 
Never lose sight of the competition 
Watch your back 
Don’t procastinate 
Don’t do anything by half-measures 
Be nice to people 
Negotiate from a position of strength 
Expect the unexpected 
Perception is reality 
Don’t get emotional 
Be fearless 
Pick your battles 
Grow a think skin 
Take chances 
When you commit, you really have to commit
  
I hope you got inspired.
Best,
Andy G. Rodie
