"I believe starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling a plane on the way down -- your willingness to jump is your most valuable asset as an entrepreneur." - Reid Hoffman

So true. One of my college friend recently called me and asked no how to get started, I said just quit your job and start working on it full time. The pressure of assembling the plane will while on the way down will make you do things that nobody can do.
