This YouTube video (by Scott Empringham) features a first-person account of deciding to start a business at age 24. The speaker describes writing the goal on a post-it note and placing it on a mirror, and shortly afterward joining a food-delivery idea pitched by his brother and a friend (Matt), even dropping out of school to pursue it.

When I was 24 years old, I just. It just hit me one day, and I was like, I need to find an idea for a business. That's what I want to do. And I did what a lot of people do. I wrote it down, and I stuck it on. Well, I did what a lot of people are supposed to do. I didn't know the power of this at the time, but I wrote. Wrote it down on a post it note, stuck it on my mirror, and I saw it every day. And literally, a couple months later, my brother and his best friend Matt came to me, and they were like, hey, we got this idea for a crazy business, you know, where we deliver food. And I was like, sounds great. Let's drop out of school and do it.
