The fellow who started the first Ad Agency I worked for was 24. Within the first 5 years of the agency, we had built it to billing over a million dollars. The plus, in his case, was choosing the right people for the right tasks. Of course, there was a lot of overhead, payroll, equipment, etc. In the IT business, a lot of what you have to offer is intellectual property. If you have it, buddy, use it. Don't be afraid to ask people to pay you for "helping them out" when they have IT questions. Then, begin to build relationships with some hardware suppliers. I don't know all that's entailed in the IT business (I gave up marketing about 10 years ago) but, I know that there are a lot of small companies out there who can't afford their own IT guy(s), Can't afford the BIG IT firms, but, could probably use a little guidance from an experienced IT professional such as yourself on a project by project basis -- just snoop around for them.
