Typical cause-and-effect confusion:
Wrong: If you start early you'll be successful.
Right: If you have what it takes to be successful you start early.
That is to say that people who are born with intelligence, entrepreneurial skills, and passion for business generally feel the urge to build businesses from their teen years and act on it the first chance they get.
If you have had that urge from an early age then you've probably already tried a few times. Not all startups succeed, so keep trying. Your age doesn't matter.
If not, then you're probably just excited because of all the recent hype and dreams of becoming rich. If that's the case, and you don't feel the passion then do yourself a favor and keep your day job.
