customers and he seized the opportunity. From his $1,000
savings, he built computers and sold them to people, with strong
emphasis on technical support at a cheaper cost. Soon after,
Dell Inc. became the most successful businesses in the world
during its first 20 years.

cost housing, a field that was then yet unexplored by major
developers. Part of his plans was to acquire small and irregularly

into smaller spaces, built houses and then offered them to middle-
class families under a whole-package scheme.
9. An entrepreneur is a good problem solver and
